International election monitors took a dim view on Wednesday of Texas' threat to prosecute them if they observe voting in the state a bit too closely on November 6.

Yessir! Make some of the UN aholes gator food...lose some of em’ in a swamp...whatever you have to do if they interfere...this is OUR country, and we don't need no stinkin’ UN aholes to monitor our elections. Also remember the left invited these aholes to make sure “minorities” can vote without intimidation or suppression of any kind, like having to present an ID or something in order to vote. For this very reason, the word is “gator food”, and we must serve it up in anyway we can.

[Nervous Tick]

>> AG Abbott has just insured himself a lifetime job as AG,

...if not governor. Aasuming our current “governor for life” ever tires of the governor life. :-)

[itssme]

Right on! Since this will be a election controlled by the individual states, each state should do as Texas is doing...let's get out there and DEMAND that our individual state election board warn these UN aholes as Texas has done...and contact the Governor in your state to do as Texas is doing...let's make sure to get off our butts and act on this....at this time in our nation it is a matter of putting out one fire after another...we're the boots on the ground and the fight is up to each one of us so let's scramble and put this “fire” out.

According to the Tx Attorney General AND the Governor of the State, their to be treated as political signage and are required to maintain a distance from the polls of no less than 100 ft.

IF ANYONE sees them doing so, may I suggest a citizens arrest followed by contacting the local authorities.

IMHO, we SERIOUSLY need to show this 'blue man group' who's boss.

[My Favorite Headache]

All I know is the car they show up in won’t be leaving looking much like a car at all if they f-ck with us.

6. Federal inspectors appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Don't be surprised if Holder supplies them with federal credentials, saying they are approved "special" inspectors.

Diplomatic immunity may make them immune to arrest. It doesn't make them immune from getting beaten up by outraged citizens.

[yldstrk]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee gads, all communists just want power, they have no thought of others, just envy and jealousy and grasping

[MamaTexan]

Diplomatic immunity may make them immune to arrest.

Diplomatic immunity applies to foreigners in service to their nation for the purpose of relating to our nation.

Federal 'credentials' don't mean squat within the boundaries of a State.

Just when you think you’ve “heard it all” when it comes to the corruption of America by democrats... something worse pops up. The AG said the UN freaks have been coordinating openly with left-wing activist groups in this effort. How dare they?!?

I love the Texas attitude. I think if this were to be thwarted anywhere, it would be in Texas.

[longtermmemmory]

this is nothing more than left wing fraud cover.

I hope texas puts them in jail.

AND arrest any media reporters there.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I’ll fly a Texas flag on election day ... from Alaska.”

When the Texas AG was interviewed on Fox yesterday, I believe (am not 100% positive) I heard that the UN freaks would be showing up in several states — maybe all of ‘em. Or just the battleground states. I hope all the states’ AGs are as tough as this guy.

I lived in AK for about 20 years, during which the “Pipeline boom” occurred. Even though there was some tongue-in-cheek kidding about the Texans moving in, it was clear that the mindsets of Alaskans and Texans were pretty close — independent and patriotic. That was so great.

[Dead Corpse]

Ok Texas... Live up to your reputation. Or is “Don’t mess with Texas” just as hollow a State slogan as “Live free or Die”?

[bert]

They are being funded and egged on by the remainder of ACORN

[listenhillary]

I think we should tell them to GTFO. I think I read recently that we are funding the UN six or seven billion dollars a year. It’s time to stop.

“The 56-member OSCE routinely sends monitors to elections and noted November’s elections would be the sixth U.S. vote that ODIHR has observed “without incident” since 2002.”

The AG said the UN freaks have been coordinating openly with left-wing activist groups in this effort. How dare they?!?

That coordinating is the whole purpose of their presence. Their job is to give a veneer of international credence to the inevitable claims by the US left that there was "voter intimidation". They are nothing but old-fashioned Comintern agitpropppers and their US hosts are traitors.

[himno hero]

that is obama and his crew...his “UN brethren” , basically the voices who brought down Bush.
