The 2002 scandle ...This is why this is a non issue. The 2002 scandle was done to a phone bank that made calls out. These people were calling voters to urge them to get to the polls. The republicans were calling in to the phone bank so they could not make calls out. The 1-800- dem-vote number was set up to allow people to call in. At no time did she tell anyone to harrass or do anything wrong. She said to call in and find out what they say. Nothing illegal about that. The number was set up to recieve incoming calls, as the one in NH was set up for outgoing only.<BR/><BR/>Thats why is it a non issue and was not reported on the news because no laws were broken. In fact the DNC encourged voters to call and that was all Laura did as well.Roxy the school police watch doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665002851169935353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076013.post-1163181433853318892006-11-10T09:57:00.000-08:002006-11-10T09:57:00.000-08:00I just found this on http://medianeedle.blogspot.c...I just found this on http://medianeedle.blogspot.com <BR/><BR/>it was not 911 she urged her "listeners" to call, but it is enough to put her behind bars! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Uh Laura....<BR/>This is illegal.<BR/><BR/>As the weblog Firedoglake first noted, during the November 7 edition of her nationally syndicated talk radio show, Laura Ingraham urged listeners to jam the phone lines of 1-888-DEM-VOTE, a voter assistance hotline sponsored by the Democratic Party. Ingraham stated: "I want you to call it and I want you tell us what you get when you call 1-888-DEM-VOTE. They're on top of all of the shenanigans at the polling stations. One problem: you can't get through." Minutes later, while talking with a listener who called the hotline, Ingraham said: "Let's keep 'dem' lines ringing." Ingraham, a frequent Fox News contributor, is scheduled to appear on the November 7 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto.<BR/><BR/>According to Firedoglake, the voter assistance hotline is "now being flooded with calls from crank callers."<BR/><BR/>From the November 7 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Laura Ingraham Show:<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: Multiple callers are calling the 1-888-DUMB-VOTE line and they said that the line is now broken. That you can't get through.<BR/><BR/>MATT FOX (technical producer): The Democrats can't even do that right; they can't even do a help line.<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: First of all, you're telling people that their vote is being suppressed at all these polling stations across the country. Vote is being suppressed, what are you talking about? You want to see voter suppression? Try to vote in Iraq when you have snipers on rooftops, OK? Those people walk to the polls; they don't care about the snipers. So don't talk to me about voter suppression. That is the biggest bunch of baloney that we've been sold, and we've been sold it election after election by desperate Democrats -- 1-888-DEM-VOTE. I want you to call it, and I want you tell us what you get when you call 1-888-DEM-VOTE. They're on top of all of the shenanigans at the polling stations. One problem -- you can't get through.<BR/><BR/>[...]<BR/><BR/>CALLER: Hey, Laura, I called the 888 number. I think I cost the Democrats at least 25 cents.<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: What happened?<BR/><BR/>CALLER: Well, you get the number, they ask you to put in your zip code; they ask you, of course, English or Spanish.<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: Blood type?<BR/><BR/>CALLER: And, you know, they say that they'll trace back to your phone. They give you options as to do you want to find your polling place, did you have trouble voting?<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: Do you know what zip code you live in?<BR/><BR/>CALLER: Oh yeah, I did. I'm pretty sharp.<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: So you never got through, you never got through to talk to a real live dumb poll helper?<BR/><BR/>CALLER: No, I just got voice mail. I figured I was gonna cost as much money as I could. Well, finally, when they couldn't answer my questions electronically, they said, "We'll forward your call to the local election office."<BR/><BR/>INGRAHAM: 1-888-dim -- or dumb -- VOTE. No, it's really DEM-VOTE. Let's keep "dem" lines ringing.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The bitch has a short memory.<BR/><BR/>The 2002 New Hampshire Senate election phone jamming scandal involves the use of a telemarketing firm hired by that state's Republican Party (NHGOP) for election tampering.<BR/><BR/>During that state's 2002 election for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Robert C. Smith, the NHGOP hired GOP Marketplace, based in Northern Virginia, to jam another phone bank being used by the state Democratic Party and the firefighters' union for efforts to turn out voters on behalf of then-governor Jeanne Shaheen on Election Day. John E. Sununu, the Republican candidate, won a narrow victory. In addition to criminal prosecutions, disclosures in the case have come from an ongoing civil suit filed by the state's Democratic Party against the NHGOP.<BR/><BR/>Three men have been convicted of, or pled guilty to, federal crimes and sentenced to prison for their involvement as of 2006. A fourth is under indictment. However, investigators and those who have followed the scandal closely believe that there were more people involved at the national level. It has been suggested that some high-ranking Republican Senate leaders were aware, and more recently records showing phone calls from the political operative convicted of engineering the scheme have raised questions as to whether officials in the Bush Administration were involved as well.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Either that or she doesn't care. Prison might be a more preferable option for her instead of oversight by a Democratic Congress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076013.post-1163180602378848862006-11-10T09:43:00.000-08:002006-11-10T09:43:00.000-08:00This is funny. Don't you people think CNN and DNC ...This is funny. Don't you people think CNN and DNC would have beenn all over this. Anyway, Before the election I said that the Republicans would win both houses. Well that was just a botched joke. What I meant to say was that "us" (the people) would lose both houses). And that I am right on. You Democrats need to call your Reps, because Howard Dean says they will not impeach, and a lot of them say we will not withdrawl from Iraq. I have called them and told them to keep their promises, Yes I did. I am not for either issue, but I think they should keep their promises. Once again Freeway we don't agree on a lot of things, But atleast you allow all to comment and I will stand with you to make sure these Democrats do what they promised.Roxy the school police watch doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665002851169935353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076013.post-1163175119464954832006-11-10T08:11:00.000-08:002006-11-10T08:11:00.000-08:00Too funny.
