"Get a grip."

I think we have a grip.

It's somewhat disturbing that more than a dozen congressmen would willingly offer to surrender our election sovereignty in such a manner.

This is probably the stupidest thing I've heard in a while and I think those that voted or suggested this should be shot for treason.

Having independant observers at an election is fairly standard. They issue a report at the end stating whether they think it was free and fair and what if any problems occur. They can't actually overturn or modify the results in anyway.
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

C'mon Pei, please leave us Amurikens to our uninformed opinions.

But I'll believe 95% of those polite, middle-of-the-road, "we're almost Republicans" delegates at the Democratic convention would have whole-heartedly agreed with and wildly applauded Ms Brown had she said this from the stage during the convention:

You're right, Republicans would never mindlessly play follow-the-leader. The only thing dumber than a completely partisan politician is a completely partisan voter. That holds equally true for a Democrat, Republican, whatever.

Yeah, SOB, I really do think those delegates were really as middle of the road as they were coached to be.

What's cool is that both parties learned from Bill to co-opt the other guy's position and pretend to be whatever it takes.

I'm so old I remember when parties actually staked out different territories in their party platforms and aruged with each other instead of "me too! me too!" -ing their way into the hearts of Amurrikenz evarwhar.

Every once in a while though, like in this instance, the inner demon shines through.

But cripes, are you all being as moronic as you are supposed to be?

Probably not. We leave that task to Canadians and Euros.
