It is, I'm sad to say. This is from the Global Exchange website:
The monitoring team includes, among others...: South African Dr. Brigalia Bam, Chairwoman of the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa.
What a disgrace. An 'independent observer' from South Africa, one of the most corrupt crime-ridden hellholes on earth.
Yep, I remember. I was reading Free Republic, right through that election. I suppose the Dems will be giving out free booze and smokes, again?
They can observe anything they want, but they better keep their mouths shut. This is our country and our election. The Rats are not the party they where when I was young. They are Communists and everyone better wake up or our country will turn into Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia. God Bless America and all who have or are now wearing or who will wear a uniform defending her. I know what this must sound like but it keeps slapping me in the face and I hope others notice it too.
I don't see Chigago on this list either.
Maybe these intrepid election monitors are afraid of all the dead democrats who'll be spontaneously rising from the grave to vote.
They're here... Foreigners to act as 2004 USA election overseers sent by the UN, requested by 9 US Congressmen Ping.
True, they may be part of a leftist stunt, but when it all comes down to it, they won't have any choice but to be extemely impressed.
And the entertainment we will provide of our leftists pulling out their hair and nashing their teeth after the pummeling in the November election should be greatly amusing, if not to them, then to us.
That invitation drew praise from more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers who had asked UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) to dispatch observers to the November elections earlier this summer.
This is disgusting and it is going to happen on Election Day 2004 in my country.
I don't need to read past the headline.
This is a HUGH mistake on the part of our government.
Since when do any foreign countries have ANY say in our electoral process?
This is going to open the door for other 'human rights' monitors.
What's next? Courts? Abortion? Child rearing?
They need to put a stop to this NOW!
"Election Day, while in other cases - notably Miami's Dade County - no response has been forthcoming"
Interesting....that Dade county doesn't want the international observers. (''I don't think they have anything they particularly want to hide from us," said Bam, who will be part of the team to be sent to Florida)
Yeah sure they don't....
You speak for me on that!
That's two of us!

So - there are to be TWO groups monitoring the elections in the U.S.?
The group invited by Global Exchange and the OSCE group from Europe?
It would seem the Black caucus of the U.S. are intent upon dividing the country, sending it into third world status internationally, and opening doors for the United Nations yet again.
Who of any of these groups would be above bribery? Does the U.S. get to check out their credentials?
What if they oppose certain state results - will the U.S. electoral process be impeded by these people?
I have called the republican party in my area and they seem unimpressed - saying the U.S. "monitors elections" all the time - yes in third world countries...
I think the United States has been under enough scrutiny by the "world" powers long enough. Time to shut the doors and re-examine our own needs instead of pouring money into ungrateful nations who now intend to oversee the sacred voting process - which to me negates the foundations of this country.
I can't believe that it has come to this. There are so many lawmakers in this country that must really hate America. We already know that the conclusions of these "observers" will be that US elections are corrupt and that certain segments of our population are denied the right to vote. Then they will do a study of the 2000 election and determine that President Bush was "selected" and not "elected". Then they, with the help of the Libs/Dems in Congress, will ask the U.N. to bring in armed "peace keeping" forces for our future elections. I wonder how local election officials will greet these observers? Should be an interesting election day.
Not to mention, the ANC is an Admitted Communist Organization. A polictical organization which maintains a military wing, which is something I am sure the democrats would love to have for themselves.
Everyone should take a look at the speech Nelson Mandela made upon his release from prison. There was a Soviet Union Flag hanging from the podium where he made his speech.
Any of the African Union Nations should be excluded as the AU is a front for the ANC.
Get the Turd World garbage outta my country, darnit!
