Con-Census (From Both Sides): Gregg Looked Suspicious

Gregg-Freepers-1.jpg  

Back on February 2nd, the image above in the Free Republic comment section typified the conventional right-wing response to the Gregg nomination. Of course, the sight of Judd in this cluster of cackling Dems was ample evidence to Freepers the man was a turncoat.

What is much more curious and interesting, however, is this visual contribution much further down the thread.

Just like Paul Abrams at HuffPo had been alleging from the get-go (“Judd Gregg’s Attempt to Grab Control Over Census Foiled”), this poster– without a word of explanation — also suggested that Gregg was a trojan horse.

    appreciate the peek into the other side.

    Yes, the plot thickens or sickens. Anyway, the GOP’s hell-bent stance on being the Party of “NO”, will find its return karma in 2010 and 2012 when the American public will also vote No!

    The inside scoop on the next next next commerce secretary. We’ve also got out eyes on Lieberman. I mean, why the hell not, at this point?

    wonder what freerepublic will say now that major banks have agreed to temporarily suspend foreclosures, upon a bidding to do so by barney frank in a congressional hearing.
