In fact, Huntsman voted by absentee ballot for last year’s general election using the state-owned mansion on South Temple as his Utah residence — months after Gov. Gary Herbert settled into the historic building and Huntsman purchased a home in Washington, D.C.

THE UNDERLYING CRIME: White House Interference into a U.S. Attorney’s Criminal Investigation in Missouri
High-Level White House, DoJ, Rove Operatives Went to Work While now-Fired Prosecutor Bud Cummins’ Was Building a Case Against Missouri Governor Matt Blunt and the WH Connected MO Law Firm Lathrope & Gage…
“You have to firewall politics out of the Department of Justice. Because once it gets in, people question every decision you make,” the former U.S. Attorney from Arkansas, Bud Cummins, told the Los Angeles Times in March. “Now I keep asking myself: ‘What about the Blunt deal?’”
What about the Blunt deal, indeed.
Last Thursday we began piecing together a few previously unconnected dots in the firing of Cummins. The dots connected appear to lay out a fairly straight arrow into the the highest levels of the White House. At least if you’re familiar with some of the players, who they know, and what they do for a living.
Since we’ve been reporting on the high-level (just about as high as they get) GOP operative, Mark F. “Thor” Hearne, for some years now at The BRAD BLOG, the connection was made quite easily once we tripped upon a key fact: Hearne’s Missouri law firm, Lathrop & Gage LC, was at the center of a criminal investigation by Cummins’ office. That investigation had come to public light just before Cummins’ sudden — and still unexplained — dismissal. He was replaced by Karl Rove aide, Timothy Griffin.
While the Republican Punditocracy has been running around desperately repeating the old Scooter Libby-era chestnut “No Underlying Crime!” over the days since Gonzales’ woeful testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last Thursday, we’ve been looking more into the Cummins/Hearne/Rove/White House nexus which seems to fairly scream out “Underlying Crime!” on just its face.
And others in the blogosphere, it seems, seem to be quite ready to burst as well with news on this element of the U.S. Attorney firings. Through information from some of those reports along with a few tips, we’ve been able to connect a few more disturbing dots since Thursday…

Griffin is a former protégé of Karl Rove, Republican political strategist and top adviser to President George W. Bush. Griffin was "formerly research director of the Republican National Committee. In 2004, BBC News published a report showing that Griffin led a 'caging' scheme to suppress the votes of African-American servicemembers in Florida."[7]

Excerpts:
1) June 18, 2007
The current scandal involving the firing of U.S. attorneys cannot be separated from the Bush administration's scheme to suppress black, poor and working class voters. In order to divert attention from its voter suppression tactics that won Bush the White House in 2000 and 2004, the Bush administration created the myth of "voter fraud." Using fake "voting rights" organizations, obscure groups to finance civil suits and pressure on the U.S. Department of Justice to bring criminal charges against voter registration organizations, Karl Rove and his political operatives like Mark F. "Thor" Hearne have succeeded in undermining the United States' democracy.
2) Hearne "believed that the U.S. attorney . . . Todd Graves was not taking seriously allegations that ACORN workers were registering people who did not qualify to vote," noted the National Journal. Also, Republican attorney William Mateja, "repeatedly contacted" Cummins during the Blunt investigation ". . . at the behest of Hearne, whose law firm [Lathrop & Gage] had retained Mateja on Blunt's behalf," wrote the Journal.

Rachel Maddow opened a segment last night by running a clip of Senator Scott Brown thanking GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his support in his special election victory speech. She follows up by alleging that Romney had claimed to have been living in his son’s “unfinished basement,” which has led one of Romney’s lesser known opponent, Fred Karger, to ask the state of Massachusetts to investigate if Romney was legally able to vote, or did he commit…voter fraud! (Duh, duh, duh!)http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Voter_fraud
Excerpt:
Introduction
For the purposes of this article, "voter fraud" refers to attempts by either individual voters or voting-focused organizations to affect the outcome of an election by casting votes with fraudulent identities or misrepresenting eligibility to vote. This can be facilitated by submitting invalid or duplicate voter registration forms in advance of the election, and voting by misrepresenting one's identity or eligibility to vote based on these registrations.This is an overview article only. Greater detail can be found on individual state pages.
Voter fraud in the U.S.
The actual incidence of voter fraud in the United States is extremely low. According to one study, "from 2002 to 2005 only one person was found guilty of registration fraud. Twenty people were found guilty of voting while ineligible and five people were found guilty of voting more than once."[1]ACORN and voter fraud
Over several election cycles the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has been accused by conservatives of committing voter fraud. ACORN has not been formally charged or convicted based on these accusations.- Main article: ACORN and elections
Groups promoting independent voter fraud monitoring on election day
- The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps: "Operation 'Poll Watch 2008'"
Remedies
To prevent voter fraud election processes must be transparent to all citizens and closely monitored. Chain of custody of ballots is important for preventing the addition of fraudulent ballots to ballot boxes. Accountability of election officials for maintaining the integrity process must be enforced by voters.http://www.bradblog.com/?page_id=4380

(ATS) Iraq War Deaths Exceed Vietnam War Numbers.Department of Veterans Affairs Reports 73 Thousand U.S. Gulf War Deaths.
More Gulf War Veterans have died than Vietnam Veterans. This probably is news to you. But the truth has been hidden by a technicality. So here is the truth.
The casualties in the Vietnam War were pretty simple to understand. If a soldier was dead from his combat tour, he was a war casualty. There are 58,195 names recorded on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. But something odd has happened with the Iraq War.

The casualties in the Vietnam War were pretty simple to understand. If a soldier was dead from his combat tour, he was a war casualty. There are 58,195 names recorded on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. But something odd has happened with the Iraq War.
The government, under the Bush administration, did something dishonest that resulted in a lie that?s persisted since the war began ? and continues to this very day. They decided to report the war deaths in Iraq "ONLY" if the soldier died with his boots on the ground in a combat situation.The actual figures have been hidden from the American public just like the returning, flag draped coffins were censored from the press. But the figures are now available and we can only hope that the American people will be "OUTRAGED" when they learn how they have been misled.
To be sure, this see-no-evil approach is neither surprising nor new. With the qualified exception of the Vietnam War, when images of body bags appeared frequently on the nightly news, American governments have always tightly controlled images of war.
According to The Department of Veterans Affairs, as of May 2007, reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:
Total U.S. Military Gulf War Deaths: 73,846* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999The stastics for non-lethal injuries are likewise staggering:
Total ?Undiagnosed Illness? (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999The stastics for non-lethal injuries are likewise staggering:
