The Ukraine as the Legal Precendent to GET KERRY INTO OFFICE

[Chicago1]

Kids,

I've been thinking about this. We don't have anything in the Constitution that would allow Kerry into office other than the Ukrainian situation.

What do the legal minds out there think? Would this be plausible for the court system recognize the Ukrainian situation and throw the Flinstone's and Rubbels out of office?

What does everyone think?

START THE IMPEACHMENT

1. The only reason the Ukraine protest happened is because BushInc controlled

THAT story, too. The Ukraine protests put THEIR chosen guy in office, so don't think THAT scenario grew only from a grassroots rebellion - it didn't.

When you control the PERCEPTION from the media, you can make anything happen. Like the ordinary citizen protestors who shut down a RECOUNT in Florida, fer chrissakes.

2. Poetic justice perhaps?

4. Bullshit. You know NOTHING of that situation.

Just because it happens to be that it goes against the colonial occupiers - the Russians, and cooincides with the US position, does not make it a bushso conspiracy.

I repeat, as a Ukrainian myself, you know NOTHING.

6. And just coincidence the new leader is also married to a Bush loyalist?

Sure....OK.

I suppose I'm now an expert on whatever happens with the black Irish and Slovenia, too.

Sorry, but when it comes to BushInc, I am NOT a coincidence theorist. If I suspect the worst from the getgo, then history eventually will prove I was right about 95% of the time.

Alleged involvement of outside forces

The Orange Revolution builds on a pattern first developed in the ousting of Slobodan Milošević in Serbia and continuing with the Rose Revolution in Georgia. Each of these victories, though apparently spontaneous, was the result of extensive grassroots campaigning and coalition building among the opposition. Each included election victories followed up by public demonstrations after attempts by the incumbent to hold onto power through electoral fraud.

Each of these social movements included extensive work by student activists. The most famous of these was Otpor, the young people's movement that helped bring in Vojislav Koštunica in Serbia. In Georgia the movement was called Kmara. A so far unsuccessful movement in Belarus is named Zubr. In Ukraine the movement has worked under the succinct slogan Pora— "It's Time". Chair of Georgian Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Security Givi Targamadze, former member of Liberty Institute, as well as some members of Kmara, were consulting Ukrainian opposition leaders on technique of nonviolent struggle.

Activists in each of these movements were funded and trained in tactics of political organization and nonviolent resistance by a coalition of Western pollsters and professional consultants funded by a range of Western government and non-government agencies. According to The Guardian, these include the U.S. State Department and US AID along with the National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, NGO Freedom House and billionaire George Soros's Open Society Institute. The National Endowment for Democracy, a U.S. Government funded foundation, has supported non-governmental democracy-building efforts in Ukraine since 1988 <1>. Writings on nonviolent struggle by Gene Sharp formed the strategic basis of the student campaigns.
