Robert Reich on today’s This Week:
I think the question here is that once you start asking, ‘Should the emails have been disclosed?’ — ‘Which emails to disclose?’ — is that the public loses sight of what the big issue is in the background.
…
The issue at stake here has to do with what the White House was trying to do with the US attorneys. What the White House was trying to do in terms of, perhaps, creating a public image of voter fraud across this country that would entitle the White House to make it more difficult for people to vote. That seems to be to be a very large issue that needs to be discussed.

Thank you, Mr. Reich. Consider it done. (For the last three years and counting.)
Anti-American conduct and behavior by those in Bu$$hCo who hate and despise the United States of America – and the over 200 year old DEMOCRACY, we – through generations have labored to nurture, cultivate and grow.
Another slap in the face to DEMOCRACY by KKKarl Rove and his anti-American minions,…

State GOP official pushed vote fraud issue
Posted: April 7, 2007

The mystery is solved.
For weeks, it was unclear who whined to the White House last year that not enough voter fraud cases were being prosecuted in Milwaukee.
Now we know.
The state Republican Party went straight to the top in its efforts to make voter fraud an issue in Wisconsin.
Sources tell No Quarter that Rick Wiley, then the executive director of the state GOP, directed a staffer in 2005 to prepare a 30-page report on election abuses in Wisconsin so Wiley could pass it along to a top White House official.
That document, entitled “Fraud in Wisconsin 2004: A Timeline/Summary,” turned up last week in the horde of White House and U.S. Justice Department records released by the House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.
“The report was prepared for Karl Rove,” said a source with knowledge of the situation. “Rick wanted it so he could give it to Karl Rove.”
Yeah, that Karl Rove, President Bush’s political mastermind and his deputy chief of staff.
The same guy who was knee-deep in helping decide which U.S. attorneys to keep or to boot.

Mr. Gonzales was not placed at the Department of Justice by accident – he was a lapdog/puppet/stuffed animal put in place just to occupy a chair. The White House had plans for the DoJ,.. to use the American justice system as a weapon against the Democratic Party,.. and help the Republican Party solidify their “one party rule.”
Karl Rove the evil mentor – via his White House operative Kyle Sampson, was moved inside DoJ, to exploit Bushie loyalists on the US attorney’s staff in the state district offices to prosecute manufactured and trumped up charges of voter fraud against those in the Democratic Party. Turning a blind eye to any Republican Party illegalities was also imperative, under no circumstances did the White House or Rove want Republicans prosecuted by Bush’s US attorneys.
Non-compliant and non-loyalists in the US attorneys offices who refused to prosecute bogus Democratic Party voter fraud charges were tagged for dismissal and replacement by those inclined to be blind Bushie loyalists.
KKKarl Rove and Kyle Sampson were running this show to hijack the US Department of Justice and needed or wanted little input from Gonzales. The only exception being that once the plans were carried out to the result Rove wanted,.. they only needed Gonzales to “authorize – sign off and seal” the DoJ personnel changes so the Rove selected Bushie Loyalists could be officially brought on board – giving the transaction of the questionable employee terminations/dismissals, an air of legitimacy and appear above board.
This gives insight as to why a lapdog/puppet/stuffed animal like Gonzales was selected by Bush/Rove to head the DoJ. He was a stupid enough blind Bush loyalist to allow the DoJ to become molested and perverted by Rove’s mechanizations of his filthy anti-American electoral and political games. The DoJ courtesy of Gonzales, became a welcome mat for KKKarl Rove to wipe his muddy/dog poop/barnyard animal dung – political cowboy boots on.
John Ashcroft the blind Dominionist and party loyalist apparently would not give BushCo/Rove free run to contaminate and pervert the DoJ to the degree as Gonzales gleefully allowed.
Even Reich fails to go far enough. If they are systematically trying to fix elections so as to give one party permanent control, that is a new system of government. That’s treason. Treason with a twist since they are already in power.
Winning the battles and winning the battles – burning each and every bridge as you advance deeper into the territory of your enemy.
Devoid of any ethics,.. they fail to realize this is not a war-game to the death – this is America. Our political system has nothing to do with mutual annihilation,.. political parties, voting, and counting of ballots has nothing to do with wiping out a political contestant to the death of the party at all costs. American DEMOCRACY becomes that vulgar – only if you permit/wish it so.
In politics if you burn enough bridges,.. you make it possible, that DEMOCRACY wanders the wilderness and dies,.. unable to ever find the way back home.
This is fine,.. only if you hate the concept of AMERICAN DEMOCRACY,.. otherwise what the Republican Party has done is madness and disgraceful.
The damage they have brought to America is astounding.
Robert Reich should be allowed to counterbalance George Wills every week. Oh yeah, that’s going to happen.
