Bush Administration urges full election investigation....
in Ukraine!

Bush administration has warned the Ukranian government not to certify Yanukovych's presidency until allegations of fraud in Sunday's election are fully investigated....

How ironic?

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gather to protest alleged election fraud, at the Ukrainian capital Kiev's main square, on Tuesday.

Are we ready to do the same?

9. We have got to do this in every city during the Crowning

of King George in January.

There should be a set script for every city.

I can see it all now, with Bev Harris leading the march in Washington!

5. Naw
This is America, not the Ukraine. We don't need a democracy, and who gives a shit that a few hundred thousand votes were screwed up? We have American idol and credit cards. We don't need to worry about petty things such as truth in government. Move on already....

Oh, and plus..it was proven that Bill Clinton got a blowjob so everything is peachy now.

You can say that about the Republican party, too.

8. The Ukraine election may be a crazy mirror of our own...
in many ways. As in: US/BushCo/CIA/etc are the main power behind the pro USA candidate. The charges of fraud are mostly trumped up, or 'evidence' of fraud has been created by the US puppet masters, the rumors quickly spread by USA/CIA/BushCo, via controlled media outlets. Only the protesters are real, but would have been more or less quiet, were it not for the massive propaganda campaign.

( Or think back to those young repug thugs banging on the doors in Florida 2000 to stop the counting, multiply by the hundreds of thousands, and bear in mind that prices are much cheaper in the Ukraine.)

Here in America, the almost exact opposite has happened. This gives a sense of the enormity of the problems facing us.

11. the news coverage of this issue has completely obfuscated votergate
Its brilliant really how the news is now saturated with foreign issues when you search for 'vote fraud' or 'fraud' on the newswires.

argh
