The rightwingers and fair elections
Interesting how more of the
rightwingnuts are calling for
and encouraging protests
in Iran due to the less than
transparent election results
and the incumbent staying
in place.

It was clear in the last
elections in this country,
that stuff happens, on purpose,
to negate the votes of the people.
There was outrage here also,
but any protests were met with
swat teams and outrage from
those on the right whose guy
was put into office by the
Supreme Court, vote padding,
voting machine rejects, the
companies that intentionally
removed valid voters from the
rolls and a whole host of
behind the scenes criminal acts.

I haven't heard much discussion re:
that once the United States breaks
trust and laws, frankly any country
is fair game to do the same.
I'm surprised that the
people in Iran are that surprised
and outraged. Did someone hire
a bunch of people from central
casting? I don't have any problems
replacing those who weren't elected
fairly in any country and had hoped
we in the U.S. would have
impeached the last administration.

I do love protests of any kind.
It's interesting that those who don't
like them here, seem to encourage them in other
countries.

And....ain't divorce a bitch!

I'm waiting to see how both the Rushicans and M$Greedia cover the next set of protests in the US.

Listening to the media complain about press coverage after the slaughter of media in Iraq is almost hilarious.
