There is plenty out there for you to read on the subject. This isn't a new subject.

Holy shit... Obama's running for Supreme Leader of Iran?!? Once Rush Limbaugh detoxes from oyxs and hookers, I'm sure he'll agree with me that being POTUS of two countries is highly irregular for a POTUS.

how clever, turning a quote about socialism against capitalism.

Obama doesn't have to steal the election. People in the main recall sound bites. The side with the most beneficial sound bites being propagated by the media wins the election.

Obama doesn't have to care what you think because the country voted that you opinion shoulds not be taken on board. That's democracy!! You have been marginalized, your opinion doesn't count...

Live with it...
Very wrong.

That is not a democracy. That is an example of authoritarism.

Because my opinion doesn't count, thus my vote doesn't count, this country is being railroaded into being a country where some votes will count more then others.

This is supposed to be a Republic where I have a representative voice in Washington. But Obama is assuring that my voice will be silenced.

Notice in Obama's speeches that he rarely speaks of freedom. He mostly speaks of change. What he doesn't mention is the change he brings will be bad for most of us in favor of his special interest groups. His policies are designed to force us to change our habits due to economic hardship making everything in our lives more expensive thus curbing our consumption. This is the type of change he failed to illuminate and continues to hide.

Not a very well thought out response, don't you think?

Mud, why should anyone care what you think? Arent you at least going to honour us with an argument as to why we should see things your way?

You might as well say the sky is green.
Well, his takeover of the Commerce Dept and add to that the funding of billions to ACORN in the Stimulus bill is all the proof I need. His obvious reluctance to find any fault with the results of the Iranian election shows he has no qualms with governments that use fraud as a tool to win elections. Freedom isn't something Obama holds in high regard. He never speaks of it in a passionate manner.



Being willfully ignorant doesn't give you an out on this and making silly statements like the ones you posted above makes you sound like a partisan hack.

Only in key states. Obama only has to carry 16 to win.

Sorry, but there is plenty of evidence of this and Obama's attitude. His insistance of keeping open a dialog with an illegitimate government in Iran shows that he doesn't really care ether way. Just about every journalist in America feels he had to be badgered into saying anything about the subject.

The only thing he's done to show displeasure with it is make a few disengenuous and meaningless speeches and cut off the supply of hotdogs to Iranian diplomats around the world on the 4th of July.

Bush did steal the first election with help from his Daddy's cronies.(Gore actually got more popular votes) His cronies were the only thing that kept W from failing long before he failed this time and nearly took US with him. By the time the second election came around he figured out how to really pad it. O had to win by a landslide this time in order to keep the fascist's from stealing it again.
Where Ahmenijad went wrong was by making the margin too big. He really didn't need to do that. The mullahs have packed the courts just as good as the Repubs I am sure.

It didn't hurt that a massive press sided with the Democrats on every issue and literally made up stories refuting Bush.....many of which proved to be total fabrications if not half truths. Plenty of false accusations but very little facts.

Funny, the party that claimed that cronism and corruption was exclusive to Republicans, and now that they have full control both are rampant in their ranks to a level we've never seen before....or at least not in my lifetime.

Re: Obama Isn't Saying Much About Iran Elections Because He Plans On Stealing Electio

When I read this thread I hear the cuckoo clock chiming in the background, and I don't have a cuckoo clock..........

But I see you guys have thought this out, Gerrymander the country by redrawing state lines, have highly desirable sex partners shadow potential GOP presidential candidates waiting for the moment of weakness to pounce and have an affair(Sanford, Ensign, Gingrich, etc.), poison their food with gay behavior inducing drugs (Craig, Foley, etc.) , and perhaps most fiendishly of all use the "super secret STUPID Ray" on potential GOP presidential candidates whenever a microphone is put in front of their mouth to make them sound stupid (Bobby Jindal, Sara Palin, Newt Gingrich, etc.).

Not to mention the way that Obama paved the road to the Whitehouse by substituting a moron and a cretin for the GOP ticket in 2000, and letting them rule the country for 8 years.

Maybe you might want to think out your posts next time.

There is no logic to them.

Envy shouldn't be a platform. Fucking over somebody you don't like shouldn't be a political policy.

Nobody is taking away anyone's healthcare. And what does war have to do with all of this?

It appears that the level-headed folks have abandoned this site.

It would have helped to wait a little longer than 2 hours before announcing you have counted 40 million votes by hand too.

I think this is one of the problems, really, the mullahs were just saying "fuck you" to the populace. If they had bothered to even make it look like a real election there might not have been so much protest.

- There is absolutely no way you can back up that statement. It is patently false.

- Even if you could...when did journalists become the authority on foreign policy? Was I sleeping? If so, why didn't you wake me up?

- Obama immediately came out with a statement on the monday after the elections. How is that having to be badgered? Then Clinton and Biden made statements. Then he continued to make statements. His rhetoric has been nuanced, and more consistant than it has been made out to be. He has been absolutely perfect on this issue, and it has restored a little of my faith in him.
