You asked, "I wonder if anyone besides me recalls the following. During the afternoon of the last presidential election in FL, the AlBore effort to steal the election from Bush started with an odd bunch of calls to Democrap households telling them their votes might not have been counted. I seem to recall some posts on FreeRepublic that traced the "polling" company that made those calls to some company in India or with connections to India. Can anyone else recall this, and if so, would this have any connection to the Klintoon/Bore boys? If Bore had prevailed, the cozy relation to India would have continued."

I'm happy to help clear this up, hopefully before it achieves urban legend status.

(The following is a long article, I'm just including the part relevant to your request.)

"How Al Gore lost the presidency
By Frank Cerabino
".......Just after 5:30 p.m.,(on election day), Gore's running mate, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, phoned Rhodes' radio talk show from Gore headquarters in Nashville. Lieberman's wife, Hadassah, had called the West Palm Beach talk show the previous day, and Lieberman's call was a simple get-out-the-vote call that the candidates were making all day to radio stations around the country. Rhodes quickly told the candidate about the ballot. "You've got a very confusing ballot in Florida, have you heard?" she told Lieberman. "I just heard as I was listening and waiting to come on," Lieberman said, "and that's the first I heard about it."

"We have a serious problem," Rhodes said. "And in fact, for those who found the ballot confusing, we have an attorney at one of our big law firms to ask us to please file an affidavit. "I'm not sure if I voted for you and Al Gore, or Pat Buchanan and Ezola Foster," Rhodes told the candidate. "Wow!" Lieberman said. "Now, there's a big difference. You've got to be careful. The affidavit idea is very important. Because if the election is close, there's going to be contests all over America." Lieberman chatted for another couple of minutes and then hung up.

About 10 minutes later, the Gore campaign in Nashville phoned a telemarketing company in Arlington, Texas. The company, TeleQuest, had been phoning Pennsylvania voters for the Democrats that day. But now, the Democratic National Committee had an emergency request. "They wanted us to make 74,000 contacts in Palm Beach County," said Wade Scott, TeleQuest's political account director. "We said there's no way we could do that within an hour of the polls closing."

The company put all of its telemarketers on the calls, managing to dial 5,500 Palm Beach County households in less than an hour -- with about 4,400 of those calls being answered, Scott said....".

Oh, and here's another mention:

I find it nefarious because, as Robert Bork pointed out, there is a new attitude in the land. Before, yes, deals were done, people were paid off, but the intent was to create. That changed under Clinton. A generation came into power which did not seek to leave more behind when it passed away. This new crew has been out to pillage.

What we see with Rich, Winnick, Fastow, Ebbers and others is plunder. Destruction. The rape of Rome. They have no limits at all. They were willing to cause over a trillion in stock market losses to enrich themselves and ferret the money out of the country which created it.

This is new. Those who did it must humilated. Read the inside press. There is no remorse, not a hint that amends should be made or perhaps donations declined. All there is a "how will this affect us" attitude.
