Who Got Bock to Run vs Barbara Lee? Clues.

by Briano Marachino (subbrian3 [at] yahoo.com)
Clues as to who may be behind Audie Bock's "It's OK to Love America" campaign against Barbara Lee.
Republican Campaign Consultants Behind Bock vs. Barbara Lee?

Audie Bock wants us to vote Bock for congress and “Dump Barbara Lee” in 2002.
Bock, however, seems to suffer from multiple political personality disorder.
In a few short years she has gone from Democrat to Green to Independent to Democrat to Demopublican Dupe. I must admit - I feel a little sorry for her.

Someone is taking advantage of her political disorder as well as her reportedly substantial case of gullibility. According to Barbara Lee’s campaign advisor, only days ago, Bock called to commend Lee’s lone vote against war. Now Bock claims that “Our reputation (has been) tainted by Lee’s blame America approach.”

Who is behind Audie Bock’s decision to run against Barbara Lee in 2002?
Here are some interesting clues:
Bock’s campaign website http://www.audiebock.org links to the “Dump Barbara Lee” website http://www.dumpbarbaralee.com
Both sites appear to be registered to a Sacramento based campaign consulting firm - Russo Marsh & Rogers http://www.russomarsh.com/campaign.htm the self-proclaimed “...top Republican political consultants in the country, the principals and associates at Russo Marsh have worked on the campaigns of over 300 candidates for local, state and federal office. We’ve conducted initiative and international campaigns at the national and state levels as well."

The same firm - Russo Marsh & Rogers - is proud to have worked (for the CIA?) to undermine democratic elections in Nicaragua and elsewhere.
So, draw your own conclusions about who’s behind Bock vs. Lee.

Audie Bock’s ridiculous re-emergence is a sickening example of the ever-so-sorry state of politics in this country.

my credo is that voting is a waste of time, that real power is held outside the electoral arena.... however, i'll vote for Lee just to see Bock -- that delirious, craven opportunist -- eat shit.

my credo is that voting is a waste of time, that real power is held outside the vaunted democratic process, in corporate boardrooms, financial markets, mass media outlets, unaccountable government agencies... however, i'll vote for Lee just to see Bock -- that delirious, craven opportunist -- eat shit.

My credo is that voting is a waste of time, that real power is held and wielded outside the democratic process, however, i'll vote for Lee just to see Bock -- that craven, bougeios, opportunistic lump of shit -- get flushed.
