ORLANDO, Fla. -- European election monitors touring central Florida were dismayed yesterday at their local hosts' emphasis on Democratic events, saying their schedule of pro-Kerry and left-leaning themes has left little time for similar Republican visits.

The day started with a small airport rally for Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, who appeared to promise a senior member of the delegation that he would commit to reforming federal election processes.

The four-member delegation of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) also listened to filmmaker Michael Moore address the League of Conservation Voters and visited a polling station in Sanford, Fla., which was the site of voting irregularities four years ago.

"I would say we are dismayed," said Bart Tommelein, a Belgian congressman, of missing a Bush campaign rally that coincided with their arrival here Saturday evening.

Wouldn't it be great if the Dems insistence on foreign monitors backfired?

From the article, the idiot from Finland suggested to Kerry that the entire country have uniform election rules. GO BACK HOME!! YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR CONSTITUTION. Sad thing, Kerry said, "I'll do it". The hell you will.

The group, which has been shuttled around Orlando in cars with Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers yesterday, rebelled against a planned visit to a campaign rally for Democratic Senate hopeful Betty Castor, who is running against former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez.

LOL this is what passes for 'independent'.

Where were these fer'ners when the signs got stolen and paintballs were hitting houses in my neighborhood, and Pubbies headquarters were vandalized, and early voters were being intimidated by union thugs? Where were they when the hit-and-run manuals left the rat offices and went out to the thugs to carry out their missions?

When they have something to say about THAT, maybe I'll take them seriously. Visiting rallies and meeting slobbish celebs and their fans is bullshi*.

So, now we are supposed to entertain these unwanted observers? I am glad the Republican party is not driving these people around to events.
