There were 4 names on the ballot. All were screened and approved by the mullahs. Heard somewhere that over 400 were rejected. These people are protesting because puppet number1 stole the election from puppets number 2,3,and 4. Is that about right?

Yet they are risking their lives to protest about it. They really want Mousavi, or really don’t want Ahmadinejad. This should tell us how equal the ‘puppets’ are.

Wait until 2012. Maybe we will be able to enjoy this form of Islamic democracy here. We already have the election-fixing front end. After 4 years of Obozocracy the American population might feel moved to protest at 4 more years.
