Seems a little odd to me that we can be so self-righteous to see the sliver in Iran's eye but not the beam in our own. How long since we have had a presidential-election that was not rife with voter fraud? Jim Crow, Mayor Daly's Machine, Florida recount, Michigan, Watergate, Carter burglarizing Wallace HQ, and not counting thousands of military absentee-ballots are just a few of the voting irregularities. Ever stop and think about how recounts produce such different figures? What if some other countries pronounced our own tyrant must resign because of ACORN's illegal activities or Obama's total lack of citizenship? The Obama regime is running roughshod over our constitution.

Last October the Secretary of State of Georgia was notified, with full evidence, of Mexican Government functionaries registering voters in U.S. for U.S. elections: the "Hispanic" vote in part delivered by Bill Richardson.

At least two weeks ago the U.S. Department of Justice also.

The very sovereignty of U.S. elections has been breeched by the Mexican government and thus the very sovereignty of the U.S..

The U.S. Constitution does not empower the federal government to involve itself in the election of itself much less any foreign power; and now Americans are in the ridiculous position of having to expect their own federal government investigate itself.

So? Let's all pay strict attention to Iran's elections.

Let our government intone to the rest of the world how both Iran should respect
elections and not expect the U.S. Government to involve itself in Iran's elections.

After all, Iran is a sovereign nation.

While our government pretends the U.S. is.

I think he is saying Kagan is a loon and he agrees with DuVall, and, thus, Obama.
