Bush Republicans & Hmmmmm

If Ugandan incumbant president uses any dirty tricks to win an election then the west and the educated people of the world start howling foul play. But have a look at this little article.

"Since they left the White House in 2001, Bill and Hillary Clinton -- as the former President and First Lady -- have been under the protection of the Secret Service, a branch of the Treasury Department. Records are maintained showing where they go and, to an extent, whom they meet.

Ordinarily, those records are kept as closely held secrets, but theoretically at least, President George W. Bush -- with his expansive view of his powers as "unitary executive" -- could gain access to them, either formally or informally.

His father did much the same when his subordinates scoured the passport files of then-Arkansas Gov. Clinton in 1992, looking for a "silver bullet" that would kill off the Democratic nominee's presidential hopes."

And this:

""This stuff of Republicans trying to jam phone lines, or telling people to vote on Wednesday, is un-American," he said, referring to tactics used by the GOP partisans in New Hampshire in 2002 and in Ohio in 2004. "Chris LaCivita, who did the Swift Boats against Kerry, and New Hampshire, is in Virginia. We will be watching him.""
