Romania Party Transcripts Cause Outrage (Rigging Election & Intimidation)
BUCHAREST, Romania -- Documents purported to be transcripts of top-level ruling party meetings with ministers discussing intimidating opposition leaders and rigging votes in the Senate have surfaced ahead of Romania's Sunday elections.

Prime Minister Adrian Nastase has called the transcripts fakes, but they have become an unexpected campaign issue ahead of the fiercely contested elections.

snip.........

The documents, which allegedly record party meetings from the past 18 months, first appeared in Romanian newspapers on Tuesday. They depict senior Social Democratic Party members allegedly talking about instructing prosecutors to investigate opposition leaders.

The officials also allegedly propose tightening control over television and print outlets, and suspicious about civic groups which promote views that oppose those of the government.

2. The GOPigs are leading the way again
now who is teaching whom?

Perhaps the Romanian idiots are learning from America's history -- voter intimidation -- The current sitting Chief Justice of the Supreme Count was rewarded in part for his very excellent voter suppression and intimidation.

4. Surprize!
The voting has been rigged ever since Ceaucescu was executed. All that happened was that the beureaucrats in the Communist government formed a party, and rigged thev elections. Ion Ileuscu was a part ofthe communist government that was overthrown and his National Salvation Fromt was the comunist party reconstituted. Since they controlled the government bureaucracy, and were pro America, they had little problem comitting fraud, and because they supported the U.S. there was no outrage from the American government about the fraud. because the Ukrainian government is pro-Russia/Putin and anti west, the U.S, and Europe are both getting their back's up. The Ukraine has a lot of economic value that both Europe and the U.S. are in contention over, but they do not want Russia to control it. A Unuted Ukrain and Russia is a far more formidable force than the two divided. THey could easily become an economic power rivaling both the E..U. and the U.S. Putin has paid off all his foreign debt as he does not want the U.S. and E.U. to be able to dictate to him. And the Ukraine is working at doing so as well with Putin's assitance. The Ukraine and Russia could become serious p[layers in the Middle East, if they are in agreement,
