Calif. ballot proposal's GOP ties

LOS ANGELES - Lawyers behind a California ballot proposal that could benefit the 2008 Republican presidential nominee have ties to a Texas homebuilder who financed attacks on Democrat John Kerry's Vietnam War record in the 2004 presidential campaign.


Charles H. Bell and Thomas Hiltachk's law firm banked nearly $65,000 in fees from a California-based political committee funded almost solely by Bob J. Perry that targeted Democrats in 2006. Perry, a major Republican donor, contributed nearly $4.5 million to the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that made unsubstantiated but damaging attacks on Kerry three years ago.

1. The republicans sponsored the recall election in CA
with the PR campaign against Gray Davis. And Arnold is doing worst. They wanted to get a democratic governor out and the ran a swiftboating campaign against him. Now they are trying to steal the votes from California. They stole Florida, Ohio, and some of the other states.

REPUBLICANS CAN NOT WIN IN A FAIR ELECTION. We have seen that. So they steal them, the only way these monsters can get in office.
