Carter fears Florida vote trouble

Voting arrangements in Florida do not meet "basic international requirements" and could undermine the US election, former US President Jimmy Carter says.
[...]

Mr Carter, a veteran observer of polls worldwide, also accused Florida's top election official of "bias".
[Of course! She's a Republican woman; she's gotta be "biased"...probably having an affair with Gov. Jeb Bush, too.
Wonder if they'll skewer her also for her makeup the way they did Katherine Harris.
Who are these barking loonbats who call themselves "Democrats?"--Jen]
[...]
He accused Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood, a Republican, of trying to get the name of independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader included on the state ballot, knowing he might divert Democrat votes.
[How about getting everyone on the ballot who wants to run for the office of the president, regardless of party?
How can the Libertarians and even Communists get their people on the ballot, but helping poor Ralph Nader do so is "anti-Democrat?"--J.T.]

He also said: "A fumbling attempt has been made recently to disqualify 22,000 African Americans (likely Democrats), but only 61 Hispanics (likely Republicans), as alleged felons."

OK-that statement has all kinds of things wrong with it!
Notice how they're always calling Right Wingers like me "racists" and "bigots?"
I'm sorry but who are the rascists here?
Jimmuh's latest mumblings just "ass-ume" that black people are Democrats, assume that Hispanics are Republicans and assume that "their" blacks are more likely to go to jail than "our" Hispanics. (?)
That is some racial profiling!
The whole DNC-- from Jimmuh, to Clintoon to sKerry himself--has been repeating this LIE for 4 years that African-Americans were "disenfranchized" in Florida in 2000--IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
And if you think it did, I'd appreciate you emailing the name of one single black person who was illegally denied the right to vote there in that election and who notified the poll authorities.
**Crickets**

And Jimmuh has missed another fine opportunity to stay home, build Habitats for Humanity and be quiet--but wait!
He just got back from "certifying" Hugo Chavez's fraudulent recall victory in Venezuela.
Cartuh, along with Chavez, both share a deep love of Fidel Castro and Marxist Communism as implemented by a totalitarian dictator.
I have never felt more love and respect for President Ronald Reagan for delivering us from this awful, awful man!
If Jimmuh were smart--which he's not--he'd lie low before the American public holds him responsible for not nipping Islamist terrorism in the bud when it first emerged in Iran in '79 when they seized our embassy personnel* and Jimmuh did nothing.
And the Islamist Enemy is still taking us hostage and now beheading us and for this, the Liberals of the world give Mr. Peanut a Nobel "Peace" Prize!
*In today's NYTimes, William Safire dubs kidnapping "Zaqarwi's new weapon" but it's actually one of the IslamoNazis' oldest and cheapest.
When Arafat's fledgling group Black September seized the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics in 1972, it unfolded as a kidnapping.
The Shiite revolutionaries in Tehran kidnapped those embassy folks of ours in 1979.
And the passengers onboard the ship Achille Lauro, especially the Jewish ones, were kidnapped by Palestinian killers in 1985 (Leon Klinghoffer made them too angry in his wheelchair, so they killed him.), but they were holdling hostages to be exchanged for their "brothers" in prison.
That much hasn't changed in today's Iraq either.
Only today, this "new Iraqi weapon" was used in Gaza:
CNN producer abducted in Gaza
Whaddayaknow: "our" WOT spills over into Israel's (Psst! You know we're fighting the same enemy, don't you?).
Obviously, the Intifada--such as it is--isn't going all that well.
The Paleostinians can't get people to be suicide bombers, they can't get through Israel's fence and they're becoming demoralized, so kidnapping is the perfect solution.
Don't be surprised if they behead this guy, too--it's great PR for the bad guys!
Beheading videos scare us (as they should) and the jihadi crazies love them and sign up to kill infidels with abandon after a great beheading film.
But he is an Arab and if they kill him, it will be for "collaborating" with the American infidels.
Mainly, however, they'll enjoy the hue and cry the Liberals in the West will make over the whole incident.
Guess they don't know there's a war on and anyone in or near enemy territory is fair game to be taken hostage, tortured or killed, even CNN reporters.
