Have a little politics with your dessert.

Independent Election Observer Team Arrives in U.S.

This makes me feel a lot better. The UN is going to watch the Florida elections, along with the ones in Ohio, Arizona, Missouri, and Georgia.

Right on.

Of course, this is a sad state of affairs that the country that invented democracy has to have this to ensure it. But, you do what you gotta do.

Typical scare tactics, very much in line with Cheney's remarks that electing Kerry is like begging for another major terrorist attack.

So. Pathetic. Even moreso because they often work. Do your own thinking, people, don't let it be done for you!

*departs from soapbox* =)

It's a great tactic, if you think about it, though. ("Terrible, yes, but great...") Can't let any damfurriners into the country to mess with our political process, because, you know, the UN is secretly plotting against us and the French are the minions of Satan and stuff. Therefore, only Americans can provide oversight for American elections; Americans, in all our dumb partisan glory.

Oh yes, an entirely sound and likely successful tactic.

It just makes me want to grind my teeth because I know so many people that seem to enjoy wallowing in ignorance and allowing others to think for them.
