i find that it's important to force feed the deniers a few paragraphs... they never read links... so here's some important stuff from that story... the fact that the guy saw no merit in "Voter Fraud" charges in New Mexico, about which he was being bullied to press forth:

After reviewing more than 100 complaints of voter fraud, I felt there was one possible case that should be prosecuted federally. I worked with the F.B.I. and the Justice Department’s public integrity section. As much as I wanted to prosecute the case, I could not overcome evidentiary problems. The Justice Department and the F.B.I. did not disagree with my decision in the end not to prosecute.

Good has already come from this scandal. Yesterday, the Senate voted to overturn a 2006 provision in the Patriot Act that allows the attorney general to appoint indefinite interim United States attorneys. The attorney general’s chief of staff has resigned and been replaced by a respected career federal prosecutor, Chuck Rosenberg. The president and attorney general have admitted that “mistakes were made,” and Mr. Domenici and Ms. Wilson have publicly acknowledged calling me.

Yeah but what about the minimum wage?

Where's Pete Seeger in all of this??? We need Pete's petulant plucking on his ol' bango.

And what about Bobby Dylan, Janis Ian, Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, and all the rest??

Attempting a new revolution without music is bor-r-r-r-r-r-r-ing.

G.O.P. Anger in Swing State Eased Attorney’s Exit

By CHRISTOPHER DREW and ERIC LIPTON
Published: March 18, 2007

ALBUQUERQUE, March 17 — The first whiff of something suspicious came when a 15-year-old boy received a voter registration card in the mail. Soon a second one arrived. Then his 13-year-old neighbor got one, too.

Neither boy had applied for the cards, and it looked as if their signatures and birthdates had been forged. It was August 2004, and the local authorities quickly traced the problems to a canvasser for a liberal group that had signed up tens of thousands of voters for the presidential election in this swing state.

State Republican leaders demanded a criminal investigation. And with the television cameras rolling, the United States attorney, David C. Iglesias, a boyish-looking Republican, promised a thorough one. “It appears that mischief is afoot,” Mr. Iglesias said, “and questions are lurking in the shadows.”

The inquiry he began, however, never resulted in charges, so frustrating Republican officials here that they began an extraordinary campaign to get rid of him that reached all the way to President Bush.

A little more:

Mr. Bush lost New Mexico to Al Gore by 366 votes in 2000. So in 2004, several Democratic-leaning groups had begun voter registration drives here. Republicans were concerned that this could lead to illegal immigrants and others being registered improperly.

Local election officials said the cards sent to the two teenage boys were among about 3,000 faulty registrations, with some most likely resulting from mistakes and others raising more questions

These people need to (Please be quiet - edited) and quit their whining. The President of the United States has the authority for fire them at his slightest discretion - as Bill Clinton demonstrated time and again when he was President. Only the media didn't make a federal case out of it when Clinton did it.

The more that is coming out about these people, the more it shows they deserved to get fired. Bush should have the sac to stand up and say so.

Just sit back and watch Pelosi's little gang sink the democrats again, with all the crap they are pulling now whoever the Republican candidate will be in 2008 he will win by a landslide, the idiots are self destructing, again.

Democrats in 2008----------->

Time and time again? Yeah?

Remember, just like Bush can fire attorneys for anything he wants (he's the decider of their fate), Congress could remove him for anything they want (they're the deciders of his fate).

Bush will pay for this, and you'll just turn blue in the face screaming about a double standard.
