BRAD BLOG: Feeney's OTHER Hometown Weekly Reports 'Vote-Rigging' Charges!
Feeney's OTHER Hometown Weekly Reports on 'Vote-Rigging' Charges!

'The Oviedo Voice' Jumps Into the Fray!
Reports on 'Off Record' Interview with Congressman.

...the most notable point taken from the article is the fact that Feeney himself, who had contacted the paper to offer an interview on the matter, kept his promise, but would not allow the interview to be "on record"!

So once again, Feeney continues his now-growing track record of, if not having anything to hide, sure as hell acting like someone who does!

Why did he chose to duck attempts to get comment weeks ago from Oviedo's Seminole Chronicle? Why did he decide to approach The Voice only after The Chronicle published their report on the matter? Why all the "off record" interviews and comments to reporters? Why the apparently coordinated threats of lawsuits against a small local newsweekly for merely reporting on public news of note to their local readers?

And perhaps most notably: Why no such legal threats by Feeney against the actual person, Clint Curtis, making the allegations which Feeney's attorneys have described as "outrageous" and "obviously false and defamatory"?...

THOSE QUESTIONS ASKED, IF NOT ANSWERED IN FULL, AT:

14. Vote machine fraud in Florida not just hypothetical its documented in
Edited on Sat Jan-01-05 12:20 AM by berniew1
2002 Govenors Election between Jeb Bush and Mcbride
http://www.votersunite.org/info/content/mess-up_083104.asp

and in the 2004 Election in both the Presidential and U.S. Senate races. Widespread touchscreen vote machine fraud has been documented with dozens of machines reported to be defaulting to Bush, switching from Kerry to Bush when Kerry was pressed in several big touchscreen counties, including Palm Beach, Broward, Dade, Hillsboro, Pinellas, Pasco, Sarasota, and Lee. These were documented down to the precinct and machine level using the large numbers of such cases reported in the EIRS hotline system on election day by voters and poll watchers and confirmed by poll workers.

15. Good Job Again
Brad, nice going, it is good to see that you have not taken off for the holidays like too many others. I read that Clint Curtis is going to be speaking to some Congress people on Wed the 5th and rallying the crowd on Jan 6th in DC. I hope he tells Congress to take off the gloves and issue subpoenas to Feeney, Yang, and Blackwell. Then the walls come crumbling down.

16. Happy New Year, Brad, and thanks!!
I've been reading your blog and following the Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney story. I admire the way you've kept the heat on.

It seems almost impossible to be able to take down (in a legal, non-violent manner, of COURSE...) the Criminal in Chief... but dang it, this Congressman, this Congressman in a Republican contrived-and-specially-created district... why not?? Chipping away, chipping away, more power to you! Google "Feeney Florida" and this little scandal comes up on page after page, ha!
