		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve been compiling a list of political burglaries over the last several years. The strange thing about burglaries is that they are often reported as local crimes — so it takes a little extra effort to collect them all in one place to map the full extend of the problem.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rfkactionfront.com/2007/06/5-political-burglaries-are-plumbers.html&quot;&gt;Here’s the link.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Sounds like what happened in October 2004 to the Lucas County Democratic HQ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tiny.cc/bUpv8&quot;&gt;(Toledo Blade link).&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Search on something like ‘Democratic laptop stolen’ and see if you don’t start to think that maybe there’s a pattern. Laptops stolen and other easier to fence stuff left behind, including cash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From &lt;i&gt;The Blade&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
Instead, what overnight thieves took from Lucas County Democratic Headquarters were financial data, volunteer rolls, Election Day strategy, and other sensitive information just three weeks before voters head to the polls.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1069612&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Albert J @ 137&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Republicans have been gearing up since day 1 to make Hillary out to be a criminal lowlife. Note that Hannity started again with Vince Foster months ago…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Surely they will try to make it look like Hillary is behaving like Nixon. Or have you forgotten those unbelieveably lame pseudo-scandals of travelgate, filegate and so on?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Obama burglaries are a republican tactic to trash Hillary or my name is really Albert J :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hubert J; The Republicans won’t start their crap until Hillary’s “the man”, this comes from closer quarters. And it isn’t the candidates doing this, whether it’s an Obama-ite making up a phony victim scenario, or a Clintonista looking for muck to rake.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The suggestion that too much money in this process leaks over to the dark side (Is there a campaign so awash with money that some of it just ends up in the hands of a wrong-headed person with poor judgment?) is aan arrow in the bullseye, for every dollar that is spent on advertising, “the creeps” (political operatives willing to do anything to win) spend a dime on this kind of subterfuge. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until the candidates start to figure out who the creeps are and who is a righteous defender of the realm, the creeps will always find a way to commit their mischief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the Edwards campaign is seeing the light, though, Trippi’s hand is growing ever more influential, and he’s one of the good guys. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But unless they are willing to seek out the true nature of their staffers, the candidates will never get over this conundrum. Public financing of political campaigns, caps on total advertising budgets and limits on contributions would all help alleviate the porblem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the MSM would have to give up what has become a multi-billion dollar cash cow that wanders back into their pasture every two years. So you won’t see the conversation anywhere in the media, it is relegated to coffee-shops, water-coolers and the Blogs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortuantely for our democracy, most pols still want to find their own Karl Rove, someone they believe will give them a victory no matter what the cost. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Someone who is willing to handle every “detail.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, as we all have learned over our lives, THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And into politics.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Power Politics draws these creeps the same way manure draws flies..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone else wonder if Blackwater has a part to play in this?  Aren’t they all lawyered up with Hill staffers?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;None of this means Hillary has any idea it is going on,though, these creeps never show their real face to the campaign, they kiss butt and grovel to the candidates, smiling all the while like angelic children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when the bgoss is gone, they start manipulating for their personal benefit, twisting strategies and breaking rules for their own personal futures, not for the good of democracy or our struggling nation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does one of the presidential campaigns have a Plumbers Unit? Is there a campaign so awash with money that some of it just ends up in the hands of a wrong-headed person with poor judgment?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes. I would put nothing past these Clintonistas.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Whatever they stole was of very little value . . . I suspect the usual rich candidate campaign suspects. Have Louis round them up.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My question is: did Obama REALLY have sensitive documents left in an OFFICE?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If so, it seems HE (or his staff) doesn’t think about history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hopefully, he has double-crossed them.  If not, Not Ready To Be President, for sure.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh great. Fear tactics. Like there hasn`t been enough of that yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if these guys keep acting like idiots, the only candidate we will be left with will be Hillary… geez, John! what kind of fuckery is this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeez Louise, it was Halloween humor. Look at it for gosh sakes. It’s like an Onion article, only more real.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Face it, we all think the Dem is going to win because of a backlash against Bush. Simple. The question about electability has more to do with down-ticket coattails. Will Hillary offer any or does she not wear that kind of coat? Do any of the other candidates, such as Edwards, look good in a tux?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t lose your humor.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;When you’ve got nothing else, resort to fear tactics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d like something I’ve been saying off and on for a while now, if all they can criticize Edwards for is his haircut, then he must be doing &lt;b&gt;everything&lt;/b&gt; else right!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
