Texas Threatens Jail for International Election Observers

[Immanuel]

I can see how that the 'Conservatives' would have a problem with anybody from a foreign nation observing our voting. Xenophobia is a big part of the 'Conservative' mindset. Fear of what is new, differant, or not understood concerns these people far more than the legalities or the ethics of any situation. Fear of foriegners, even from scandanavia or germany, observing our elections is natural for them. Fear of energy from something other than fossil fuels or nuclear is natural for them. And fear of what scientists study is natural for them, for one of the hallmarks of the 'Conservative' is intellectual laziness.

Ethics?

That's the whole point of this thread and the issue conservatives have with liberals calling in liberal "non-partisan" /smirk "observers" to sway the process. If Obama gets his ass kicked on November 6th, will he then use the reports from these "non-partisan" /smirk "observers" to force recount after recount after recount ala Al Gore and Al Franken until he gets his wish? I think that is a very good possibility.

Liberals have tried and succeeded before with Al Franken to force as many recounts as it takes until they get their wish and Gore attempted it. I have a feeling that is the plan being put in place.

Ethics? In politics? Are you so old, Oldrocks, that you are losing you mind?

Not if they are working to protect legal, constitutional observers from the UN.

It's the law.

Well, I'll tell ya's what - why don't we have federal marshalls monitor some of the elections? Surely Texas would welcome federal marshalls at the polling stations.

Federal Marshals work directly for the Sitting President. Somehow I think people would call armed federal Marshals that work for one of the Candidate, being at polling places, intimidation.

Shucks, Hoss, if you could read, you'd know illegals can't vote.

But village idiots like you still get that right... if your bus stops near a poling place.

Stupid motherfucker: Yeah, Hazmutt, you.

Illegal aliens cannot vote LEGALLY in American elections.

That's not quite the same thing as saying they can't vote, you moron.

Sure, so many illegal people are anxious to risk jail time and deportation for a vote.

Not so much anxious, you stupid twat. Indifferent. Cavalier. Hostile.

Dayum, you libs are obstinately stupid.

 

[J.E.D]

If one has to explain to you why our country should not have one of its greatest freedoms,voting in a free election, observed by people from 3rd world oppressed countries....well you know...there is no hope and changy thing.

I agree, voting is a great freedom. But tell me, how would international observers restrict anyone's vote?

Never said they would restrict. I oppose the UN being involved in any fashion in our state run elections.

They're not involved in your state's election process; they're merely observing. What's the problem?

 

[JakeStarkey]

I wonder if far righties are getting ready to intimidate voter.

Nah. Just to prevent the far lefties from even fucking trying to do so.

Permission DENIED.

Suck it, ya worthless lib bastards and your UN hack surrogates.

 

[Trajan]

there has been a contingent since what 2002?So this is not a big deal in and of itself, but I have to wonder what value this holds for a sponsored org. who has sitting on its Commission on Human Rights such esteemed members as; Zimbabwe, Sudan , Cuba....

 

[JakeStarkey]

Hmmm . . . did all this raise any upset with the right when the organization observed in San Antonio in 2008?

 

[skookerasbil]

Really, except for humanitarian purposes, the UN is obsolete for decades now. Nobody cares about the UN.


Having them at the polls is the equivelent of having some sidewalk Santa's on hand.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Then, skooks, why all this nonsense? Pray tell.

The law says you are bloviating. Don't hurt yourself.

What's Texasss hiding?

Betcha we know which other states won't want anyone looking over their shoulders.

I remember the good old days when the United States was actually PROUD of our democratic voting system.

I haven't seen this law you speak of. Texas law specifically forbids foreign observers.

If I see UN observers in Foley, you can bet your ass I'll intimidate them.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Go to jail, stupid. They were observing in 2008 in San Antonio, no problems. What is your issue? What is your vested interest intimidating others?

We still are, but our democratic voting system is none of the UN's fucking business, Dud.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Totalitarianism is a another name for you, son.

What have you against a neutral, open voting system?

You have something to hide.

I have no interest in intimidating voters, you fool. MY GOD! You are thick.
