MD4BUSH Asked To Come Forward
WBAL - TV (Baltimore, MD) ^ | November 7, 2005

Posted on 11/07/2005 5:20:04 PM PST by tgslTakoma

BALTIMORE -- For the first time, the operators of a California-based Web site are revealing they have evidence that an e-mail address from the Maryland Democratic State Party is associated with MD4BUSH.

WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter David Collins said the operators of FreeRepublic.com are not revealing the name behind MD4BUSH. But this is the first time that they are suggesting the state democratic party is associated with the MD4BUSH account on their Web site.

Jim Robinson, the president of the conservative Web site, issued the following statement: "Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org (Maryland Democratic Party) e-mail address is associated with the MD4BUSH account. This is not just coincidence."

They also call on the account holder to come clean.

Free Republic has the electronic trail associated with the saga of MD4BUSH.

(SNIP)

Last week, the name of Ryan O'Doherty, a former official with the state Democratic Party who left that job in January, surfaced publicly in connection with the MD4BUSH mystery. That happened when the governor's lawyer forwarded an e-mail with O'Doherty's name on it to the committee investigating the governor's firing practices.

(SNIP)

The I-Team caught up with O'Doherty outside the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, where's he's held a newly created job for the past nine months. The agency is publicly funded, with close ties to the mayor and county executives.

O'Doherty is a friend of Steve Kearney, one of the mayor's top aides. Sources said Kearney first tried to get O'Doherty hired in City Hall. Kearney told 11News he couldn't remember if he provided any help.

Collins reported in response to Free Republic's disclosure, Josh White, the executive director of the state Democratic Party, said how could anyone take the word of a right-wing Website that wants nothing more than to help the governor.

On their home page, Mddems.org indicates they are hosted by Orchid Suites, Inc. 1309 Emerson Street NW, DC.

But Mddems.org IP addy resolves to Renne Development, at 1309 Emerson Street NW, DC.

So now its confirmed- it was the democrat party of Maryland that "outed" fellow Democrat Sen Barbara Mikulski as mentioned in Joeseph Steffen's latest interview with WBAL radio a few days ago.

Here is the post by MD4BUSH that Mr. Steffen refered to :

I lot of the undecided people I have talked to say that Phonyheit-911 just made them want to vote for Bush, because the movie was so shameless and so full of lies. Thanks Mike Moore--GOP hero! By the way nice comment on Mikulski, she is a lezbo, funny how that hasn't been in the news either. 19 posted on 10/27/2004 3:09:45 PM EDT by MD4Bush (Bush must win)

Now that we know her fellow democrats did this to her, why will NO ONE IN THE MEDIA contact her office for a response???

Slightly off topic, but whatever happened regarding the Democratic Senate Campaign Commitee's criminal violation of Michael Steele (Accessing his credit report)?

Do a search on Mike Fraioli - he was Steve Jost's business partner when he had his consulting firm. Bet you'll fimd some interesting stuff.

Jost's ex-wife's name is Diana - she was at one time a high ranking staffer on the House Ways and Means Committee, working for Rep. Pete Stark.

I know a LOT about this guy.

Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. If you already have a domain name first determine where the name is registered. You can do this by going to http://www.whois.net/ ... once you've determined who the registrar is you need to communicate to them that the "nameservers" for the domain are changing.

They need to be:
ns1.rennedevelopment.com
ns2.rennedevelopment.com

if your registrar requires IP numbers as well tell them this:
ns1.rennedevelopment.com
66.220.28.232
ns2.rennedevelopment.com
64.62.176.207

He was responsible for drafting ethics complaints against Gingrich, right?

Do you know if he has a son or relative named Steve?

I've followed this story somewhat, but I can't recall what the significance of "Steve" is. Can you give me a quick update? I might be able to tell you more about whether Steve Jost might be the guy.

To: Dems_R_Losers; nunya bidness
The e-mail from Ryan O'Doherty the day before the original WaPo story broke mentioned that "Steve" asked him to send the e-mail. Freeper nunya bidness and I tried to find Steves in MD with political connections, and came up with O'Malley's Spokesman, Steve Kearney (mentioned in the WBAL-TV article) and one or two Steve Josts, depending on whether the Steve Jost with MDDems.org is the same Steve Jost that's Dutch's chief of staff.

The WBAL-TV article seems to indicate Kearney might have something to do with this. We don't know if they spoke with the Jost(s?).

Thanks. I'm sure there is only one Steve Jost. It definitely could have been him, but it could have been Steve Kearney as well from the facts you state. I don't want to unfairly point fingers at Jost, but trouble does seem to follow him wherever he goes.
