I'm listening to these election stories and thinking that it's making DU'ers look like they complete whining idiots they are. Iraqis are literally risking their lives by going to vote. For security, no cars are allowed in Baghdad, so people are walking for miles to get the opportunity to vote. One man pushed his 90 year old grandmother in a wheelbarrow so she could vote. One guy said that if he died while voting, it was the best way he could imagine to die. They are reaching the same or greater voter turnout as the US, and we aren't told that we will die if we vote.

And the DU'ers b**** about standing in line in the rain. And that blacks were disenfranchised because a cop may be standing at the polling place. And ballots are "too confusing".
