Bush dirty tricks in Blount's Alabama campaign!!
Check this out. A tidbit in an AWOL story from the Montgomery Advertiser:


"Bush, then 26, served as assistant campaign manager in a race that featured a doctored audiotape that made it sound like Sparkman supported busing children to integrate schools."

1. There must be something to this
I know both bush and rove were used as "fixers"
in campaigns . I believe James Hatfield touched
on this in "Fortunate Son"

3. Chief Justice Rheinquist started the same way
He was a fixer during elections in Arizona during the 50s'. These are the kind of people the Republican Party is looking for. Real Americans.

4. Remember, too, that Junior worked with Atwater during Poppy's first...
...election campaign in 1988. You remember Atwater, don't you? King of the Dirty Tricks.

5. Ahhh yes ... the guy who begged for forgiveness from his deathbed
Lee Atwater, the father of modern American political slime.

6. Yes, the man who apologized as he was dying.
He apologized for the lies, dirty tricks, and all the nasty shenanigans against political opponents. Maybe one of these people will see the light a bit of time before they are traveling into it.
