Bush invites foreigners

[amor]

The idea of inviting foreigners, whose own representative system is not as fair or representative as ours, to observe our election is totallly hypocritical...

So make sure Bush invites only foreigners whose system is as or more fair and representative than yours.

Where do you live Amor? I will put our election process up against any other in the world. The 2000 presidential election was one of the closest ever, and it was still decided fairly and accurately according to our constitution.

Ho Ho Ho Ho!

The hanging chads farce did not strike me as an example of a particularly efficient electoral system nor did banning people for voting because people with similar names had criminal records. Lots of your compatriots, those on the losing side, of course, also seemed less than convinced with the justice of the eventual outcome. The best thing in all this was it gave the rest of the world a good laugh. Pomposity like yours, of course, only makes us laugh more.

I will ask again where you live Amor?

Was there any disruption in government during the disputes in Florida? Any rioting or insurrection? Any attempted Coup? What happened in one of the 50 states in the US was highly sensationalized by the media. The matter was dealt with in accordance with our constitution. All studies done after the fact agree with the vote totals that were certified. There was no voter fraud (at least no more than any other US election and certainly far less than any election in any other country). No one stole the election from the other candidate.

If you want to discuss this rationally and politely I'd be more than happy to. But if you came hear only to hurl insults I'll respectfully move on.

Let's be very clear here; they are being invited to OBSERVE, not OFFICIATE. I think it is a very good idea for other people to see exactly how a US election is held.

Thank you Serotta. It seems that lately these boards have been a open forum for Bush bashing as if people actually know hiim and his agenda. We actually have no clue as to the magnitude of things he is responsible for. Nor do we actually know what all that visit entails. People are so quick to judge by hear say.

I am so glad that none of you are my judge.

"the OSCE does not have authority over the election results in any way. "We don't give them a yes or a no or grade them," she said. "But we monitor, we publicize what we see. You can call it political pressure."

I still say, this is a mistake, but seeing as how liberal democrats want it, why am I not surprised....

Britain, France, Germany, Australia, New zealand, Canada, Japan, South Africa Ireland, Switzerland. Make a start for countries that have systems to chose governments that are as fair or perhaps even more fair and representative as that that used in the USA. All, like your good selves probably have their faults, but their systems are broadly sound. The above are countries that I know something about, but there are many others that could as easily take a role.

Oh dear this is the sort of tripe that is usually put out by the supporters of tin-pot dictators. Father of the nation the only one we can trust etc. Do you really think that most americans, whatever their politics have no idea about the duties and obligations of the president or the challenges that she/he faces. Anyway whether you like it or not the current incumbent will face a public judgement in November. If people think he's up to the job he gets another 4 years and if they think he isn't he won't. Do you think this is such a bad system? Would you rather see a president for life a Papa Doc, a Stalin, a Mussolini?

People here seemed obsessed with my background. Well I've given it several places before so if your that enthusiastic sniff round my posts. One clue is that I have mentioned it in one of the posts above. Anyway I pointed out that the US system is possibly less than perfect, and the same is true of the system where I live. I never claimed to come from an earthly paradise, these are merely your fantasies about me.
