A team of 20 independent democracy experts

---

Yep them dudes and dudettes are going to be busy trying to get around this vast fruited plain and monitor all the precincts....

They've been doing this for some time now..... They had a few monitors in CA for the Gov. recall election and some in the 2002 elections...

[carrier-aviator]

Well, good. Perhaps they can prevent felons, dead people, illegal immigrants, paid homeless people, and other Dem allies from voting. Perhaps they can stop activist Dem judges from keeping polls open after closing time in the hood. Perhaps they can prevent union activists from stuffing ballot boxes. Bravo, and Welcome to the Observers.

Here's a piece of advice for them. Stay the hell away from my polling station.

[Mark]

They sound like illegal immigrants to me.

[quantim]

Heck, that's 20 more votes for the dems. In what state are are the illegals going to cast their ballots?

[mk2000]

one problem with that, the deathocrats asked for these people to come here!

[July 4th]

Nice...they can go police enough polling stations to make absolutely no difference at all.

[DuncanWaring]

We're not a democracy.

Democracies say things like "Give us Barabbas".

Why do we need "democracy experts"?

[Enlightiator]

Perhaps they can prevent felons, dead people, illegal immigrants, paid homeless people, and other Dem allies from voting.

lol, Election Night: "night of the living deadocrats"

[alancarp]

First polling place they should investigate: the one John Zogby conducts.

[saint]

But we have Jimmah - what do we need them for?

[Just Lori]

I've been wanting to hold myself in a bit (sometimes I can be a bit abrasive) but this REALLY makes me mad! Observing is one thing, but MONITORING.......... WTF? Are we a sovereign nation, or not?

[mk2000]

i guess the part that really chaps me is that Powell said he would approve this thru the UN

[COEXERJ145]

Of course no one realizes all they can do is watch, write down and later publish their observations. They can't interfere in the voting process such as challenging a person's right to vote.

[LasVegasMac]

BAD MOVE. just like allowing non us born citizens able to run for president.

I'll agree with the bad move part - totally stupid, actually.

I don't think the non-US born thing is the issue that it once used to be.

I assume (never assume!) you refer to The Govinator?

I was just thinking along the lines of a young kid, brought over by his parents. Suppose he turns out to be a great politician?

Just thoughts.

"Many of us in this room have worked for many, many years in different situations and in different countries," said Brigalia Bam, one of the observers who also chairs South Africa's Independent Electoral Commission...[.] Other observers, with similar qualifications, hail from Argentina, Australia, England, Canada, Chile, Ghana, India, Ireland, Mexico, Nicaragua, Philippines, Thailand, Wales and Zambia.

ROFLOLPIMP!

Gee, I wonder why Zimbabwe and Venezuela couldn't make it?

[Just Lori]

And to hell with Semantics!

Yeah, well I'm not all that happy with him. Sounds like he's ready to retire anyway. Did you see him on H & C tonite?

[mk2000]

yes, and to think i was at one time hoping for him to run for pres.

[goodnesswins]

We are NOT a "democracy".....we're a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.....and TODAY is CONSTITUTION DAY, by the way.
