A leading group of election observers say there was widespread voting fraud and intimidation during Thursday's presidential election in Afghanitan.

Stuffed ballot boxes, illiterate voters being told who to vote for and biased officials were cited by Afghanistan's Free and Fair Election Foundation.

Was ACORN helping with the "get out the vote" campaign there?

[Vigilanteman]

Stuffed ballot boxes, illiterate voters being told who to vote for and biased officials . . .

Gee, it sounds like Philadelphia. Or Chicago. Or St. Louis. Or Cleveland. Or Los Angeles. Or any other Democrat stronghold where they don't need no steenking rules.

[mathluv]

I would guess it would be determined by who the Taliban wants to win.

[Dr. Ursus]

Bet me by that much!

I wonder if Obama sent any of his Black Panther friends.

St. Louis? Cleveland? Chicago?

[Piquaboy]

Jimmy Carter should have been there.

[ExTexasRedhead]

They copied the Fuhrer’s election.

[FrdmLvr]

Why are we getting old news from last year’s election?!

[gov_bean_ counter]

My goodness, the only thing worse would be going into nursing homes where the barely living have someone hold their hand while they fill out a ballot. /s

[Carley]

ACORNs everywhere.

Minnesota redux!

I’m sick of the Middle East and what is more sickening? Iraq is going fall right back into the barbaric country it was prior to US. Afghanistan......was fairly quiet. Both countries had a great shot at being free. All that time, money and effort on our part, now down the tubes and who do we have to thank for that? The policies of the muslim marxist currently ‘vacationing’. And the only true civilized ally in the Middle East? Israel........and they have been thrown under the bus. U.S. deaths have escalated and the enemy has been emboldened beyond belief due to our (do I dare say POTUS) President. If our people can’t see the affect and damage this guy has done in only 8 months...we are surely doomed.

“ACORNs everywhere”

Reminds me of a sign I saw from a picture of a rally in Chicago which said: “Out of ACORNS, do mighty marxists grow”

So? What's the problem? That's how we do it.
We even go one step better - we have illiterates in Congress writing our laws!

[rbg81]

Obama’s fault.

[Melchior]

For months the BBC has demonstrated an anti-NATO bias in Afghqanistan. I wonder if it results from the miserable performance of British troops and the consequent desire to get the hell out of a place where the Brits were so easily shamed.

[dog breath]

Yeah, I have been noticing on the BBC that the British seem to be looking for reasons to leave. I hope our public in the USA understands that this is a very long term commitment.

[KC_Conspirator]

No different than Minnesota, which sent Franken to the senate due to fraud.

[G8 Diplomat]

Afghanistan too? Man, first Iran now this...
