BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Voting has begun in Iraq's historic constitutional referendum.

Yep. They're pining for the days when Saddam won with 100% of the votes cast. Now THAT was democracy to the MSM!

The 1934 consolidation of powers of president and chancellor which made Hitler supreme leader was by vote of the electorate. They could've rejected that and forced a new presidential election. Instead 95.7% of votes approved of Hilter on August 19, 1934.

Looks like an election to me.

Now the 'word' on CNN is that most of the Iraqi's voting don't know who/what they're voting for.

Did they find out by actually talking to the people?? My guess is that they know more about what they are voting for than most Rats do in our Country.

Those Countries have a far more efficient word of mouth system than our Stone Age Press.

Apparently Ashley Wilkes Clark didn't hear the news the insurgents assault on Iraq's second round of free elections was an even bigger failure.

Mornin' Johnnie. Nice job!

Let Freedom Reign!

LOL! It irritates them to no end that voters seem happy with freedom. They don't understand why the Iraqis don't rise up against President Bush.

Ashley Wilkes is so well informed!

The sky is always falling on CNN. The voters always have no idea what they're voting for when the outcome contradicts CNN's "we know best" views. The "world" horrified we reelected Bush is a prime example.

All of the Stone Age Press heroes get 99-100% winning percentages. Castro, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot all of those guys had the forms of gummit that were supported by our press.

Amazing how the elect are always so horrified when another group of people discover how to be free.

Then my work here is done. :-)

That thought occured to me as well reading the Dinasour Meida's carrying ons. Well said!

Ashley Wilkes is so something. What that something is, is comes out of the southern end of a north bound horse.

Looks like the insurgents are scraping the bottom of the barrel for recruits! ;-)

Yep, even AP is being forced to report that the Terrorists only managed to attack 5 of the 1200 Bagdad polling places.

[Tennessean4Bush]

5 out of 1200 polling stations is actually greater than 0.01%, it's 0.42%, but your point is well-taken: the terrorists cannot stop democracy in Iraq with that kind of ratio. Very disheartening to the terrorists and the Democrats.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Ashley Wilkes...

Pardon my ignorance, but why do people keep calling him Ashley Wilkes?

[Just A Nobody]

How is CNN still on the air?

Because people turn it on .....

Early results from a Baghdad polling station show ‘Yes’ ahead by a 2 to 1 margin. Expected turnout over 11 million.

Just to quibble, when I divide 5 with 1200 I come up with 0.0041666666, not 0.42. However, I will be the VERY first to admit my math skills are less then stellar and I may be misremembering long ago math classes on how to present this number.

However, that is pointless since we both are making the point that the "Insurgency" is giving us another concrete example of their growing irrelevancy to what is happening in Iraq.
