Tell Me I Didn't See This
What is this, some sort of sick joke?
It would be nice to think that perhaps the arguably worst president in American history would take a serious look at the staggeringly brazen perfidy and corruption of his own party, both in Florida 2000 and last year in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Wisconsin, among other places. But he's a Deathocrat, which means this laughably mislabeled "bipartisan" commission will strictly pursue the paranoid conspiracy nonsense promulgated by the ultra-left and produce recommendations that will have the effect of making it even more difficult to insure the integrity of our election process - from which, of course, only Deathocrats will benefit.
Similarly, it would be a comfort to believe that the ostensible Republicans on this "bipartisan" panel could be relied upon to stoutly resist their DisLoyal counterparts. But the three members mentioned in the AP story - James Baker, former New York congresswoman Susan Molinari-Paxon, and Bush41 Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher - are RINOs all. They're just there for appearance's sake - it's Carter, ex-senator (love the sound of that) Tom Daschle, and former Indiana congressman Lee Hamilton (late of the equally unhelpful 9/11 commission) who will be calling the shots.
One can only hope that this commission's conclusions will be ignored as readily as such products usually are. But there is no convincing reason to take that comfort, either.
It may, however, end up being the answer to a trivia question for future generations: "How did Hugo Chavez manage to take over America?"
The answer on the other side of the card? "It was an inside job."
Former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James A. Baker III are teaming up to head a star-studded study commission that will recommend improvements to the nation's federal election system.Yeah, like the Palestinians or Hugo Chavez, I suppose. Carter helped to "monitor" those election travesties, even as he was skeptical of Ukraine's Orange Revolution that rightfully overturned yet another ballot-box stuffing robbery that Mr. Peanut was perfectly willing to endorse.
The bipartisan panel, announced Thursday by American University's Center for Democracy and Election Management, is charged with examining such matters as the disputed 2000 presidential election.
"I am concerned about the state of our electoral system and believe we need to improve it," said Carter, a Democrat whose Carter Center in Atlanta has monitored dozens of elections around the world. "There is much we could learn from other democracies and from our own citizens."
