NH Republican Dirty Trickster To Reveal All

The 2002 New Hampshire phone jamming scandal is still revealing the depths, and in this case the illegal depths, that Republicans are willing to stoop to in order to steal elections. A former GOP operative who served three months in prison for his part in the New Hampshire phone jamming scandal is writing a book about how the scandal reaches the highest part of the Republican Party.

Raymond's book, "How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative," offers a raw, inside glimpse of the phone scandal as it unraveled and of a ruthless world in which political operatives seek to win at all costs.

...

Raymond said those who've tried to make him the fall guy for the New Hampshire scheme failed to recognize that e-mails, phone records and other evidence documented the complicity of a top state GOP official and the Republican National Committee's northeast regional director.

Both men were later convicted of charges related to the phone harassment, along with Raymond and an Idaho phone bank operator. Defense lawyers have since won a retrial for James Tobin, the former regional director for both the RNC and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

He also sees how low the Republican party is willing to go, comparing his time in prison more favorably than his time in the Republican party.

As for his three months in a Pennsylvania prison, he wrote: "After 10 full years inside the GOP, 90 days among honest criminals wasn't really any great ordeal."

I have not heard this? Are any of these things getting on NBC,ABC,CBS, and PBS? If these things are true and not just sour grapes, we should get it in the news. If the people only knew how sorry the GOP is, they wouldn't get within a 100 yards of one.

Is this a case of the truth may not necessarily set you free?(kidding) Will anything ever come of this or is this just easy money for the fall guy? It would be nice if indeed we could get straight truth or the straight news. One major problem that truly needs to be addressed is the media in this country! There is nothing unbiased about them anymore.They need to be taken out of the hands of corporate America.

When we speak of the Bush crime family here, we are not kidding.
