Cheaters!

Why am I not surprised that many in the Republican Party will stop at nothing to hold on to power? They will lie, cheat, steal and God knows what else in their effort to control the Senate, House and of course, the White House.

These Republicans are desperate and in my opinion, dangerous, they will not relinquish power easily nor fairly.

CONCORD, N.H. - The National Republican Congressional Committee agreed to stop placing automated telephone calls to New Hampshire residents on the federal do-not-call list, a state official said.

The committee voluntarily agreed Sunday to stop calling homes on the registry after a citizen complained to the state attorney general's office, which then spoke with the GOP group's lawyer in Washington.

Under state statute, political campaigns are allowed to contact people on the do-not-call list, but cannot use automated recordings.

Deputy Attorney General Bud Fitch said households that are not on the registry may continue to receive the calls, which criticize Democratic congressional challenger Paul Hodes in the tight race with Republican Rep. Charles Bass (news, bio, voting record)...

So what your saying is that the democratic party should be allowed to break the law and call those that do not wish to be called. So if the law does not pertain to them here exactly when should it start to pertain to them? Nice argument you have here. Getting mad because they weren't following the rules. SO you call the opposing side cheaters... Your a lil pathetic...LOL

What the **** is the matter with the people in New Hampshire and political campaigns? Is it so tough to be honest?

Ex-GOP official guilty on two counts
Tobin faces up to seven years in prison

A jury convicted former national Republican Party official James Tobin yesterday on two counts of telephone harassment for his role in a plot to jam Democratic phone banks on Election Day 2002 in New Hampshire. But the federal jury acquitted Tobin on the most serious count, conspiracy to violate voters'rights.

Tobin, 45, of Bangor, Maine, was the New England political director for the Republican National Committee and the Northeast field representative for the National Republican Senatorial Committee during the 2002 election. He later served as New England chairman for the Bush-Cheney campaign but resigned shortly before the 2004 election, after allegations about his involvement in the phone scheme became public. . . .
