"The dam UN has no place in our elections.. foreign governments have no place in our elections! Dam it, this is NOT some third world country. It's The United States of America."

I agree 100%.

This is how it starts

1). First they monitor the elections(as everyone knows the U.N. is an incorruptible, peace loving, all knowing, all seeing organization)[/sarcasm>]

2). Next they'll have run the elections to make sure its done the proper way according to them.

3). Well hell, since they will be running the elections, why not get rid of that little irritating law that states only citizens can run and / or vote. Why not everyone ?

4). Hey next they'll have to get rid of that irritating document called the Constitution for the United states. What an antiquated document. Can one believe the gall of those people all those years ago thinking the people are the masters and the government is the servant?

5). After the Constitution for the U.S. is gone, why not rid the states of theirs as well, in fact, why get rid of the individual states all together?

“The world, finally including even the balky American public, is being rapidly educated into over coming limited patriotism and accepting United Nations solutions to common global problems.”

Henry Kissinger

“What is especially gratifying, is that the publishers showed no reservations about the prospects of UN forces landing in the United States and imposing the UN's will."

Kissinger Henry Kissinger

"Today Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.

Henry Kissinger Addressing the Bilderbergers meeting Evian France May 21 1992.

"The United Nations gun-grabbers don't care about our Constitution and they don't care about national sovereignty. The UN always wants to expand its power, and global gun control goes hand-in-hand with global government. Every American who cares about the 2nd Amendment should oppose this latest UN attempt to dictate our domestic laws. There is no question that the UN ultimately seeks to impose worldwide gun control, although it has no legal or moral authority to do so."

Yeah...I get the same feeling.

I don't care if I see some foreign dirt bag "monitoring" the election when I go to vote he'll get an earful of very salty serviceman's french with a full description of his lack of legitimate parental and human species pedigree.

 

Any politician that supports foreign dirt bags (so eloquently described above)  "monitoring" , will get the same French from this salty serviceman, in person, in the mail, on the Internet, on the phone and second hand.

ONE WORLD GEORGE JUST LOST MY VOTE

CFR
Letting Chappaquidick Kennedy write a trillion dollar ejeecayshun bill
Open borders
Wanting to raise the limit on legal immigrants
Willing to sign the AWB
A PC war in Iraq ... and now this.

That's it. He gets no more support from me on anything ever.

[ScottFromSpokane]

I haven't read every reply, so some of this may have already been said.

As far as I can tell, WND conflated two entirely unrelated issues in this piece by bringing up the request for UN monitoring.

If you get past the headline, you'll find that this is done pursuant to a treaty signed in 1990, presumably because countries which insist on monitoring elections in third-world basket cases should be able to stand having their own elections scrutinized.

Inscidentally, it looks like they monitored the Canadian, Spanish, and EU elections (among others) earlier this year, and will be monitoriing the French and Irish (again, among others) later this year. It's almost like it happens all the time and it's no big deal.

Is it just possible that we're overreacting just a tad?

[ScottFromSpokane]

Here's an interesting page. You'll find reports on elections in France, the UK, the US, the EU, and Spain. What they're doing seems to just be what they do. Incidentally, in their report on the 2003 elections, they praise Jeb Bush (no, I don't agree with everything in this passage)):

Shortcomings in Florida during 2000 included problems with voting equipment used by some counties resulting in a high rate of invalid ballots, a lack of sufficient guidance to county officials by the state Division of Elections, inadequate training of election personnel, lack of uniformity in ballot design and counting procedures, inaccuracies in the voter register, discrepancies in regulations for overseas voting, and a lack of resources for voter education. Serious allegations were also made that some of these shortcomings, in particular the wholesale disenfranchisement of felons and inaccurate maintenance of the felons list, had a disproportionate impact on minority voters, particularly African Americans.

In response, all levels of government reacted effectively. At the state level, Governor Jeb Bush swiftly appointed a bi-partisan task force which reported within four months of the election with nine lessons learned and 35 recommendations. In May 2001, the state legislature adopted the Florida Election Reform Act, containing many of the task force’s proposals, including requirements for greater uniformity in the conduct of elections, abandonment of problematic voting equipment, increased training for election officials, improvements in voter registration, the adoption of provisional balloting, and increased voter education.

and remember to scream intimidation to the top of your lungs if when you go to the polls and there's one of these foreign turds watching you vote. The media would love it and the libs would hate it. Especially if you pointed at the foreign turd.

[TexasTransplant]

Excellent

You know pointing at some of those foreign turds can really get their blood rolling, I would enjoy pointing at them until they forget where they are at.

[TexasTransplant]

No we are not over reacting, this is a BIG deal and the bigger story is that you and people like you will roll over for it.

[TigersEye]

It's possible that we've underreacted for a long long time.

Spain and France should happily embrace their third world status and accept whatever humiliations the world or the EU heap upon them.

[TigersEye]

I just hope we don't have some nutjobs think it's time to start perforating blue berets in November.

Would October be better for you? : )

[Cincinna]

Bring 'em on!
We have nothing to hide.

It is the Dems who register dead people and fix elections.
This will backfire on the Dems IMO.

[demkicker]

I haven't read many posts about this, but my gut reaction is to PUKE! I'm really upset that GWB dares to invite foreigners to oversee our most sacred event. Call me disgusted & p*ssed off!!! Bush keeps coming up with reasons for his "supporters" to stay home on election day when he pulls cr@p like this.

[cohokie]

I thought everyone new that Clinton was the one who signed the agreement and that they came in 2002 as well ... you cannot blame the current president for something his predecessor's signed and he has to deal with ...

[cohokie]

hey ... everyone should calm down ... WND is totally distorting this ... take a look at post 185 for a good explanation

[hedgetrimmer]

We have nothing to hide.

What you are witnessing is the wholesale abdication of our Congress to the international global government they have worked overtly and covertly to implement.

Do we have to tell citizens that Congress is the only group with the constitutional authority to monitor elections across states and it is up to the states to run fair elections. Why don't they know this? Did they never learn or have they been completely brainwashed?

It is NOT OK for the internationalists at the UN to interfere in any way with the function of our American government. That Congress and citizens should violate their duty to their country by allowing this to happen,is one the most shameful acts this country has committed in many years. Shame on the citizens of this great country if they allow the internationalists in Congress and otherwise to subvert our election process.

[Joe Hadenuf]

This is like everything else. They are just testing the water IMO. You can imagine where this thing will go in the next four years, or in the next decade. Wide open borders, immigration free for all, and now the UN desires to monitor our elections?

[kenth]

That's assuming that the UN 'observers' would be fair and not favor a democrat outcome. How far can you trust the UN? Me, as far as I could throw 'em.

[FreeReign]

However, state election authorities in Florida have already announced that such observers are not to be allowed access to the voting process and, in any case, they would have to remain at a distance of more than 50 feet from the polls.

Powerless U.N. hacks from France, Germany and Russia standing at a distance of more than 50 feet from the polls with no access to the voting process is no match for the millions of sovereign voters in this country.

Eat your hearts out, you global statist observers. Then go back to your hotel rooms and look yourself in the mirror and realize that you will never, NEVER have any power here.

Then go back to Europe and boss around your little poodles.

[FreeReign]

I'm really upset that GWB dares to invite foreigners to oversee our most sacred event.

No he didn't.
