Iraqi Election Fraud? Bush is about to Steal another one....

[Corey_Baker08]

I know very little about the upcoming Iraqi election but I do know that there are place that you can register and vote here in the US for the actual election.My question is how do we know that these polling place here in the America aren't just a way to force the outcome of the Iraqi election just as Bush did ours?

Couldn't we expect that from someone like Bush? Maybe he'd have the statistics of the election changed just to make it look like the election was a success and he'd get so much credit for it. All the while changing the outcome to whomever he wants to be President so they can "work together." and "trade" oil.

Nothing surprises me from the Bush regime anymore, I just haven't heard anyone talk about possible Iraqi election fraud, then again its prolly cause nobody cares.

But if he'd steal an election in his own country, what would stop him from stealing one from a foreign country he mostly controls any way.They are rich in Oil and Bush has nothing to lose anyway, he cant be reelected.

1. No need to steal it

Iraqis wont know who the candidates are until they enter the voting booth...you know, for security purposes.

2. I think most of us have considered this.

* had put people in place before (such as in Afghanistan) that were friendly as far as his agenda (in that case, an oil pipeline). Our guy didn't win in Ukraine, so we helped change that, too.

He plans to do it all over the world; he made that clear in his speech yesterday.

3. I don't get the point of the booths in the US.

It's like having booths in the UK to vote for Bush (Wait a minute...). I mean, the Iraqi citizens the live here will probably have nothing to do with the country. Why should they get to vote?

4. Perhaps we should alert

Conyers to this? Kerry as well.
Maybe they could be caught in the act.

5. There won't be anyone left to vote for except Allawi

Iraqi candidates quit after threats
Dozens of candidates in the Assembly of Independents party have withdrawn from Iraq's upcoming election after death threats, the party's chairman Saad Salah Isa al-Juburi said in Tikrit.

The 41 candidates of the party's list withdrew en masse from the regional election in the province of Salahaddin "after they were threatened by specific groups", al-Juburi said on Friday.

Eleven members of the election commission previously resigned after receiving threats from fighters in Tikrit, the hometown of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

6. It's already stolen . . .

ON Iraqi elections

They will feature

* Candidates who are trying to remain nameless

* International observers from Canada, who will monitor the election from Jordan

* Election Officials who have either quit, run away, or have been killed

* Polling stations whose location will not be known until the day of the election

* No driving for 48 hours

* An ex pat voter base that will determine the outcome of the election by all likelihood

* A Prime Minister who shot 6 people last June

* And a target rich environment for terrorists, Islamic extremists, and Iraqi

Freedom is on the march!
