How about Bush put the US military in charge of running our elections too?
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 07:02 AM by NNN0LHI
Rumsfeld could decide who can be a candidate and who cannot. And then he will even collect and count the votes for us after the election and tell us who won. Sound like a good idea? Bet it doesn't sound like a good idea. And we are Americans. Now imagine how good of an idea you would think it was if you were an Iraqi living in Iraq and had the U.S. military and Rumsfeld running your elections there. Sounds like a fine idea. Doesn't it?

1. Same thing in Haiti
where they fired the SC because they OK a local to run for President that the Bush installed group did not want.

2. The Pentagon can set up a website for online voting and phone banks for
those without Intenet access. If you do have at least a phone, you are not a citizen and cannot vote.

Maybe they can call a 'speshul freedom fry election' to make Bushler president for life? America can save lots of money by not having anymore elections! Then Bushler can just appoint every member of Congress and every judge. No worries mate!

3. I have two questions about these so called elections in Iraq
1. How do the people know who they are voting for? There has not been any campaigning by the candidates, if there had the "liberal" media in this country would have plastered it all over our tv screens.

2. Why are people in California and Michigan going to polling places to vote? Did the US Government set up polling places in Iraq for our troops? No they had to vote by way of Absentee ballot and many were mailed to late for them to get returned.

This election in Iraq is nothing more than a George W. Bu$h circus intended to make bu$h look good an be able to say they accomplished something. Time will prove otherwise.

5. I can't believe this is indeed happening.
It will be Allawi or Chalabi or both with strong US back-up.

Tis gone past the circus stage. It is now a rodeo. And we know who's riding who.

4. The U.S. military is already running our elections here --
Look at the origins of the deceptively titled "Help America Vote Act."

Look who sits on the security/certification boards.

Direct links to the defense industry and Pentagon.
