U.S. allows in Eurotrash Inspectors

A little late, but had to chime in on this one. When this story was floated around a month ago, I thought it was a joke. But, once again, I've been reminded not to take anything for granted, no matter how absurd - and this is as absurd as it gets.

International team to monitor presidential election.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe was invited to monitor the election by the State Department. The observers will come from the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.

It will be the first time such a team has been present for a U.S. presidential election.

"The U.S. is obliged to invite us, as all OSCE countries should," spokeswoman Urdur Gunnarsdottir said. "It's not legally binding, but it's a political commitment. They signed a document 10 years ago to ask OSCE to observe elections."

Thirteen Democratic members of the House of Representatives, raising the specter of possible civil rights violations that they said took place in Florida and elsewhere in the 2000 election, wrote to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in July, asking him to send observers.

After Annan rejected their request, saying the administration must make the application, the Democrats asked Secretary of State Colin Powell to do so.

The issue was hotly debated in the House, and Republicans got an amendment to a foreign aid bill that barred federal funds from being used for the United Nations to monitor U.S. elections, The Associated Press reported.

In a letter dated July 30 and released last week, Assistant Secretary of State Paul Kelly told the Democrats about the invitation to OSCE, without mentioning the U.N. issue.

"I am pleased that Secretary Powell is as committed as I am to a fair and democratic process," said Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas, who spearheaded the effort to get U.N. observers.

"The presence of monitors will assure Americans that America cares about their votes and it cares about its standing in the world," she said in a news release.

Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee of California agreed.

"This represents a step in the right direction toward ensuring that this year's elections are fair and transparent," she said.

"I am pleased that the State Department responded by acting on this need for international monitors. We sincerely hope that the presence of the monitors will make certain that every person's voice is heard, every person's vote is counted."

These delusional retards are still so bent out of shape over 2000 that they've succeeded in giving away our electoral sovereignty to euro-socialist bastards. It's not so much that anything these dimwits say will have any bearing on the outcome of the election - it's more the attention that they'll get from the mainstream press when there is a close race in a state or locality. We'll be hearing so much from the Old Media about what "international inspectors" are saying about this or that. It will be just one more thing to make my head explode in November.

We have two people to thank for this affront to our electoral process. The first is Al Gore - the maniacal lunatic who started us down the road of "if you don't win, sue!" He was so predestined (by the liberals' political God - whoever that might be - in Al's case probably a tree), that he couldn't accept that he had been defeated. Four years later, the party of trial lawyers will have a whole new branch of euro-crybabies to set up lawsuits wherever they don't like the results of a particular race.

The second person to blame for this slap-in-the-face is Colin Powell. It's really no surprise coming from the biggest lefty in the administration - second only to President Junior himself. It's probably a good thing that Colin won't be at the GOP convention - I took enough of a tongue lashing from him in 2000 for being a white male conservative.
