The gross hypocrisy of the Republicans cannot be better exposed that by comparing the United States General Election of 2000 and the Iranian election of 2009. In the United States election, there were proven deliberate actions taken by the Florida State Republicans officials to deny thousands of Black citizens their right to vote. The illegality of their actions to disenfranchise voters was compounded by their deliberate attempt to stop a recount of the ballots. They even resorted to bringing in a mob of Republican thugs to pound on the walls and windows were the recount was being conducted in a determined attempt to intimidate the officials who were conducting a legal recount.
When this strategy failed they turned to the Unites States Supreme court that had absolutely no constitutional authority to intervene in the election. Like their Iranian counterparts, the five Republican Ayatollahs actions essentially declared George Bush the victor. Their actions exactly paralleled the activities that we are observing the Theocratic regime of Iran to be committing. The major difference between Iranian citizens reaction as compared to what transpired in the United States election is that the Iranians are taking to the streets to protest and demand a just recount. Unfortunately, unlike the Founding Fathers of our nation, we were not adamant in demanding justice and complacently allowed the election to be stolen. In fact, we deserved exactly what took place as the Republicans proceeded to implement a series of disastrous policies that have taken the nation to the brink of bankruptcy.
The criticism of those such as John McCain that the present administration has not be forceful enough in meddling in the internal affairs of the Iranian citizens is nothing more than a demonstration of the hypocrisy that has become the hallmark of today’s Republicans leadership. He is disgusting example of a pampered brat. Like Bush, they both used their privileged position in society to pursue a life of mediocrity. When McCain was faced with a genuine test of his moral fiber, he chose to abandon his crippled wife and degenerated into a life of debauchery as a gold digging gigolo yet has the audacity to pose as a faithful Christian husband and father. His choice of Palin as his running mate, a candidate who was an insult to the office of the Vice Presidency, fully exposed him to be nothing more that a slimy opportunist without regard for the well being of his nation. Personally, I cringe when I see these reprobates that dominate the Republican Party spewing their endless diatribe of fascist propaganda daily on the major media resources without a murmur of challenge by nincompoops that pose as journalists.
