Republican National Committee registered BushCheated.com/Rawstory

[cal04]

The Republican National Committee apparently paid a Virginia networking firm to buy BushCheated.com on their behalf, RAW STORY has learned.

A representative for Network Solutions, LLC confirmed that they registered sites for the Republican National Committee. When asked if they registered BushCheated.com on behalf of the party, she said, “Yeah, then we probably did.”

A spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee declined to comment and said they would return the call. The domain, which has no content, was likely registered to prevent others from setting up a website at the address.“Campaigns have been doing this since 2000 to protect themselves,” a Democratic Internet consultant, who asked to remain anonymous, said.

The consultant noted that the Bush campaign registered various derivatives of “Bush sucks” during the 2000 campaign.Asked why the RNC registered the site in April 2003, the consultant said they probably had registered the site when the original registrant’s control of the domain expired.

3. And they started hiring people for the inaugural parties 3 months ago.

at least that's what I thought I heard the guy who did the music say last night on C-SPAN. But maybe that's standard procedure for a sitting pResident.

Or maybe God told them to do it.
