in Ahmadinejad plans victory rally on AMERICAblog
Considering the last questionable election results here...it is hypocritical for the US to disparage the results of any elections...in any country. Pls go to NoQuarter and see if you can find the articles by Dr. Lynette Long on how Hillary supporters were screwed in the last election. Obama was "selected", not elected.

in Dw. Dunphy On … Get Me Some Money Too on Popdose
Totally agree with your statement:
So here we are. The solutions: make companies pay fairly and make them pay dearly for going Absent Without Responsibility, make banks and big construction suffer for offering the drug and then ravaging the addict, bring the troops home and stop paying for blood and armor, and give the American debtor, who has more credit cards than hope, a light at the end of their rolling-balance tunnel. Do some or all of these things and then money can be spent on “stuff.”
Too bad the Republicans seem to be backing a candidate who claims Americans are OK with US troops in Iraq for the next 100 years. The few anti-war candidates were summarily dismissed by the MSM even before they gave up the fight. Both Obama and Clinton voted again and again to fund the war and seem to have no real plans for bring the US soldiers out of the Middle East. No one bothers to remind us that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are costing between 12 and 15 billion dollars a month. Perhaps we need to just declare "We Won", and bring the troops home.

The most galling thing to me is that there are very visible, hemorrhaging wounds. We know what they are. We can address those wounds and make positive changes. One-shots of cash is like a single morphine hit. Only this time, we'll never feel even that because of outstanding debts, liens and such.
The current batch of candidates aren't too keen on taking up the cause because they will lose supporter funds. Those big money supporters are banks, developers, industry-types... essentially more of the same, which we can expect of our economy.
As for the war, why expend precious lives and blow material and cash we can use here? I'm not saying become America First isolationists, just that we must remove the plank from our own eye before identifying the mote in the eye of the world.
And what of Al Qaeda? Should we worry? Of course, but does anyone really believe our efforts in Iraq quell Islamic fundamentalism while our 'allies' in Pakhistan are harboring key fundamentalist figures?

Bush was, quite literally, "selected" by a Republican majority Court, despite the clear and convincing evidence of election fraud in Florida by a Republican Secretary of State. That one's not even a question.
And in 04, it's also clear that Kerry was headed to a victory until a Republican Secretary of State and Election Machine company in Ohio declared otherwise.
But really, the point is simply the irony and the obvious reason for it. Our government is filled with those elected through election fraud, and they of course say "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain".
But when someone else does it, oh we take the high ground?
