DNC Requests Records Related to Palin, Romney, Seven Other Possible 2012 Contenders.

The Democratic National Committee formally has asked the Pentagon for reams of correspondence between military agencies and nine potential Republican presidential candidates, a clear indication that Democrats are building opposition-research files on specific 2012 contenders even before the midterm elections.

An internal Army e-mail obtained by ABC News indicates that the DNC has filed Freedom of Information Act requests for "any and all records of communication" between Army departments and agencies and each of the nine Republicans -- all of whom are widely mentioned as possible challengers to President Obama.

The agencies are asked to respond to the request by this Friday, just four days before Election Day...

why would the DoD be keeping "records" on individuals other than service records of past military service?

Is the DoD where J. Edgar Hoover Junior now works?

Can we file for the same on OBAMA?!

Private citizens or organizations can do the same as the DNC is - also through the Freedom of Information Act, yes.

Too bad the RNC was so incompetent that they failed to submit a similar request about Obama.

***The war of personal destruction will not be tolerated by the American people***

The MSM will find a way to BUSHWACK any GOP conservative candidate during the primaries, after which they perform a sphincterectomy during the General.

Most will just follow orders. Such is the history of all government servants, no matter where they are from.

Which is why I don’t trust the dreams of a military coup.

Surprise - ABC breaks the story. The DNC can do this? Can’t wait for the RNC or Tea Party Express response.

Two things.

If dems do it, everybody does.

If the Republicans don’t do it, then shout it from the roof tops. Make it the central issue of the 2012 elections and expose it for the election fixing it is.

The Democrats did this in 1998/99 and got information that led them easily to George Bush' Reserve Air Force Officer records.

With that information in hand they sent a records specialist to the site and MISFILED ALMOST ALL OF "W"'s records. That's where the "he went AWOL" stuff came from.

We finally found out that it was Sandy Burger when all of those records miraculously showed up the same week he got a plea bargain that didn't send him to prison for stealing highly classified materials from the National Archives.

So, they're up to it again. This needs to be watched! BTW, the first records they look for on Sarah concern her relationship with the National Guard, and her son who was in the military. Democrats use kids these days. Guess we should get ready for that too.

Before we go off the deep end on this, we should see if the RNC or similiar Republican groups have done the same on Democratic candidates.

One purpose of the Freedom of Information Act was to let people find out what sort of information the government is collecting on citizens, politicians or otherwise.

The fact that scumbags like the DNC can file these FOIA requests doesn't make the requests illegal or innappropriate.

It's the gathering of information outside the legal process that is much more disturbing - like Hillary's collection of the FBI files. I'm sure that crap is also going on now, and some exposure of those illicit investigations would be alot more revealing than this relatively benign crap. It's so benign it might even be a smoke screen to give cover to the stuff they're finding illegally.

"I'm mildly surprised that Juan McCain isn't on the list. I'd like to know why."

Why would they have too? McCain's already proved in 2008 that he only fights the Right and takes a dive for the Left.
