This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a sick joke, please!!!

Is there any way to substantiate this?

[SandRat]

I don't care if I see some foreign dirt bag "monitoring" the election when I go to vote he'll get an earful of very salty serviceman's french with a full description of his lack of legitimate parental and human species pedigree.

[wagglebee]

I've heard that its been on Fox News already.

[kenth]

Monitor or observe?

[texastoo]

You are right. This is the specialty departments of the UN. Go to the UN website and click on human rights then search for OSCE and OIRHD and see for yourself. Bush has called for the UN to monitor our elections in a round about way.

Instead of Bush calling for more Americans to help at the polling booths, he call on foreigners. This really sucks.

[omniscient]

What will the 'Rats do when GWB's election victory is certified and approved (although reluctantly) by none other than their beloved, precious UN? "But they, um, er, stole, the election because Cheney and his Haliburton cronies bribed UN officials, yeah, that's it ... "

[Spottys Spurs]

I'm having a real problem dealing with this! The dam UN has no place in our elections.. foreign governments have no place in our elections! Dam it, this is NOT some third world country. It's The United States of America. We should send those Democrats to some other place than our Congress. It's a discrace and so is the response from our State Department, if it's true.

[texastoo]

Pre-emption my foot. It is called bowing to the Democrats. This is the UN.

How many times have you read that Germany, France, ect. hate Americans especiallly conservatives? Now, they are going to monitor our elections. Tell me where this is a smart move.

As first I was shocked and outraged…but this could get interesting and blow up big on the Dem… as there the one that are famous for trying to rig election and buying voted… and where are these monitor most likely to be but in the major urban centers the Dem strong hold…remember ever major "irregularity" in 2000 was in Dem controlled district…..

The Dem were showboating calling for UN monitor they never really expected to get it… calling the big BS bluff could end up being the Democrats worst nightmare....

It would all depend it tha monitor are half way honest or just a bunch of left wing internationalist a—holes

[RoseofTexas]

Ugh!...:(

" However, state election authorities in Florida have already announced that such observers are not to be allowed access to the voting process and, in any case, they would have to remain at a distance of more than 50 feet from the polls. "

Merely a formality, my dear. Nothing to see, move along...

[The Libertarian Dude]

Why is Bush doing this? He's not going to get ONE vote from this.

[whitedog57]

Will they monitor the elections in Chicago, St Louis and other Democratic bastions of election fraud? No. They will select whatever battleground the Democrats tell them to.

Overarching theme: everyone one in the world, especially Europe, wants us reduced to a second-class or even third-class power. Most of the world is Socialist (complete with the usual Socialist illnesses of massive pollution and repression) and would love nothing more than to extinguish the center of capitalism in the world. So, the rest of the world will be more than glad to slam the Republicans and Bush.

[Spottys Spurs]

I agree. He'll lose Conservative & Republican votes IMHO!

[Spacetrucker]

"...it would be a good idea to have disinterested parties supervising every election.

These would be the Euro-weenies, after all...

[texastoo]

I probably won't vote.

Good luck on your vote counting especially if your polling place is observed by the French.

[COEXERJ145]

First of all, this isn't from the U.N.

They are not here to "audit" the election as the Dems want.

They did the same thing in 2002

This is part of a 1990 agreement so it isn't something that has been pulled out of thin air.

[familyop]

"Yesterday, those 13 Democratic House members got their surprising answer from the State Department – the administration will indeed invite foreign election monitors to observe the U.S. elections in November...Now, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the largest regional organization in the world with 55 participating nations, will monitor the U.S. election on Nov. 2. Members include Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Spain and the United States."

What? ...to desensitize us to a trend toward internal propaganda control of our nation by the UN? So it's true that members of our State Department are anti-American suckies to the Europeans and want another Democrat Administration?

You know what's going to happen with this, folks. The one-world Euro-despots are going to soak up every bit of anti-American, pro-Democrat, pro-terrorist propaganda they can get out of election disputes and broadcast it to the world. We need to do some things to correct it. For one, we can show the Euros that they are not welcome to "monitor" our elections or any other US government function.

And most importantly, the masses do not understand endless intellectualizing and specificity. They must be shown general, international contempt in sound bites and ridicule write-ups. And Democrats should be called what they are--traitors against their own nation.

Our President needs to throw out the trash!

[MikefromOhio]

And exactly what can they do? It is not as if they are going to sway any vote to one or the other...

It is a great strategic move. It takes away a Democrat position from them and effectively nullifies any complaints that can be raised by them (again). Tell me you dont see that!!!!

[Ax]

And from where will the Useless Nations draw their monitors? Let's see: there's always Cuba. We wouldn't have to pay much for their travel. How about Iran? They've had plenty of successful elections. Gabon? Dr. AlHaji Omar Bongo is just about finished with his 25 year term as president; I'm sure he was duly elected. The Sudan? Yet another shining example of trustworthy moslems. I sure hope W knows what he's doing on this.
