All Republicans after Eisenhower took White House by fraud or treason-why wouldn't they try in 2012?

Thom Hartmann and Sam Sacks:

"A presidential candidate committing treason? That would never happen, and, if it did, it would be front-page news. Everybody would know about it, right?"

Wrong.

Consider some simple history.

<...>

So, here we have all the Republican administrations of the last half of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Nixon, Reagan/Bush, and Bush. And every one of them took the White House by fraud and/or treason, to quote President Lyndon Johnson.

And now there are questions about Karl Rove trying to electronically rig the election of 2012 in three states. And Democrats and very rational liberals are saying, “There couldn’t be a conspiracy there. Everybody would know about it! The press would report on it! There’s no way they could get away with it! You’re being a conspiracy nut!”

Well, just look at the Republican history of the past fifty years.

where both sides were accused of shenanigans

and well, Aaron Burr was a stellar citizen too wasn't he?

Why are people wanting to delegitimize the stunning landslide victory of Barack Obama

no criminal hacker helped him.

Just a community organization done by CHICAGO.
Chicago wins elections.

Too bad Jesse Jackson wasn't President.

and hope Hillary runs with mega help from Chicago so she can win big time against Jeb in 2016.
(possibly with Rahm as her VP so the team stays together the next four years).

Amazing really that such a corrupt and venal political entity could reform so rapidly and completely.
