American "democracy" under the microscope...

Given that the last US Presidential election was such an incompetent, humiliating farce, will America consider: 1. Providing "how to vote" video demonstrations outside very polling booth ? 2. Allowing international observers to oversee the process to ensure fairness and competence ? 3. Giving a guarantee that the candidate who gets the most votes will be declared the winner this time ? The wrold holds its breath, expectantly....

Given that the fact that China has been dominated by the Communists for more than a half a century and its people oppressed and obliged to read the "little Red book" and heed to the dictates of Mão Tse Dung, gives you absolutely no right to POUND your ideas and ideals on peoples who have been free longer than the Peoples Republic of China. Why shouldn't we as Americans find fault with what happened in Tiananmen Square. Have you seen any damning discussions posted austrisizing the Communist people of that hideous disaster and slaughter of so many young people in front of God and nobody. We do blame you personally but until such time as the Chinese populace can truthfully and sincerely believe that you are as free to do what you want then come back and tell me I am wrong. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. AND LET HE WHO IS FREE FROM SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.

George Bush won both elections. He wont he electoral college in 2000, that is how you win the Presidency. That isn't the first time that has happened, so quit whining when it doesn't go your way. Why would internationals be observing? They have no business in it, it has absolutely nothing to do with it. In 2004 George Bush won the largest popular vote ever, get over it. Nobody is denying it anymore. The Votes say what they say, Bush won.

" 3. Giving a guarantee that the candidate who gets the most votes will be declared the winner this time?" That is not how our government works... Our president is not decided by the popular vote. We have the electorial college.
