Revolution in Ukraine?
 
I was listening to the BBC tonight (0300 Nov 25) and they had a long
report on whether or not the Ukraine is headed for a civil war. Their
presidential election was rigged by Russia, and nobody in Ukraine is
accepting the "winner". The US has said that it will not accept the
"winner". There are massive demonstrations there, the squares are filled
with people all day and all night, and the "loser" is calling for a
general strike. Why do the Ukrainians have more courage than the
Americans? America has had TWO rigged presidential elections in a row
and nobody is protesting-sure they're grumbling, but there are no
massive demonstrations and general strikes. Why isn't there a civil war
in America over America's rigged presidential elections? Why wasn't
there one in 2000? Are Americans too weak and stupid to recognize when
they've been had? Hats off to the Ukranians-they understand democracy.
Americans apparently don't.

I always find it interesting when the supporters of the 'loser' claim an election was
rigged.

If John Fraud Kerry would have won you'd be singing praises to the American public, of
the electoral system, etc., etc.

I have no idea what is going on in the Ukraine, but I think to compare the Ukraine to
the USA is a bit much.

No fraud was involved. You know it's one thing to hate Bush, I can

Kerry has many more "failings" than Bush. What Kerry did to protest the
war after returning from Vietnam was enough by itself for me not to want
to vote for him. He was a fraud then as now and a traitor. I can't
understand how in the hell the Democrats could have even nominated a
person like him to run for president. The most liberal Senator with a
lack luster record bereft of any semblance of leadership. The question
is will the Democrats ever nominate another person that I would want to
vote for? The answer is sure looking like no so far.

Why? Bush has fewer "failings" than Kerry. It was an easy choice.

The fact that the Left in America *still* doesn't get it is
astonishing. I'm hoping that they continue down their path to

Never happen. This country is far too into the patriarchal society to be
ready for a woman president at this time. This is the one true indicator
that subtle prejudice still exists dispite the progress we have made in that
regard. It will be some time before a president who is of color or female
will be elected.

dxAce

Ukraine tried to have a legit election but the incumbent president did rig
it. I've heard reports from observers that stated eye witness accounts of
things like: extra ballot boxes showing up at a polling station (i.e.,
there are more boxes present when counting than were present when voting
was going on), more that 100% of a constituency or poll accounted for in
votes counted, hiding and stealing of ballot boxes. The witness quoted was
a Canadian member of parliament whose name I can't recall.

So no, the US election was not like that. Ukraine used paper ballots and
made X's, no computer machine voting nor hole punching. I don't think there
were any allegations like the 4 years ago issues with Florida in the USA
election, at least none reported that I have heard.

Well no, there's nothing in America like the Social Democrat parties in
Europe. There's no Labor party, no Socialist party, no Populist party.
It's been noted that neither George W. Bush nor John Kerry would be
considered to run any party in Europe, even conservative parties. In
America, the person that gets elected is the person who spends the most
on advertising. There's no public funding of campaigns. So only
millionaires and billionaires get elected to public office, since
they're the only ones who can afford to run, and of course they look out
for their own-birds of a feather flocking together-which may be one
reason why the US is increasingly turning fascist or pseudo-fascist. All
the celebrities who get elected have tons of money or know where to get
it. Charisma counts for a lot in US elections. California voters
actually held a special election to throw out an uncharismatic career
politician named Gray Davis, and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger in his
place. Al Gore's lack of charisma, especially compared to Bush's down on
the ranch good ole boy cowboy folksiness, probably cost him the 2000
election. Anyway, no party truly represents the working class for stated
reasons, that and the working class are easily led to support people and
policies that are actually detrimental to them (something that wouldn't
happen in Europe). Campaigns today are run on who is more moral,
something that Europeans would find laughably quaint. The American
working class is a lot less accepting of radical ideas than the workers
of Europe.

I know a guy (I have known him via the interner for over five years) via
the internet in Cork,Ireland,Examiner newspaper.He is one of the big
executives/hot shots at that newspaper) I can absolutely tell you people
that over there they do not have much in the way of whom they can vote
for.For the most part,most if not all of the folks over there whom are
running for election are socialist democrats.

I'm thinking your name is pronounced "Colin".

The term is "social" not "socialist". I don't think anyone has much to vote
for. The politicians and parties everywhere are polling all the time and
they bring out policies that reflect the popular will, not fresh ideas from
the politicians or any sort of ideology. Then what tips the balance is the
personality of the candidate, charisma and that sort of thing. Instead of
electing great people, celebrities are elected. And multinational
companies and various interests (e.g., agriculture) push hard - lobbying.
Democracy everywhere is not improving IMHO.

Sacramento, California, USA. I live about 4 miles due north of the
California state capitol building.


My sympathies.

Sacramento County went for Kerry-just
barely. I just can't believe that so many Americans voted for Bush
despite all his failings. Either they're just as stupid and evil as he
is, or there was massive fraud.


All his failings? BwaHAHAHA!
You know absolutely nothing about John "Peking Duck" Kerry?

It is sad that Calipornians such as yourself think they are the center of
the universe.

Thank you

In article , says...
I was listening to the BBC tonight (0300 Nov 25) and they had a long
report on whether or not the Ukraine is headed for a civil war. Their
presidential election was rigged by Russia, and nobody in Ukraine is
accepting the "winner". The US has said that it will not accept the
"winner". There are massive demonstrations there, the squares are filled
with people all day and all night, and the "loser" is calling for a
general strike.


Actually:

- The western portion of the country is pro-West, and is supporting the
opposition candidate, claiming that the election was rigged. He's even
gone so far as to symbolically take the oath of office in the
Parliament.
- The industrialized eastern portion of the country is pro-Moscow, and
is supporting the supposed winner, who is presently the Prime Minister
in the Ukraine.
- Fortunately for all, the protests have been exceedingly peaceful!
- The US and other western countries have called for the Ukraine to
invalidate the election, due to the many charges of fraudulent practice
in organizing and managing the election process.
- President Kuchma, who endorsed the pro-Moscow "winner," is telling the
rest of the world to basically butt out, lest they be responsible for
plunging Ukraine into civil war.
- The Ukraine Parliament has passed a non-binding resolution
invalidating the election, and calling for a new ballot. However,
nothing can be done until Kuchma agrees -- which is not likely
considering it is "his" candidate that "won."
- The Ukraine supreme court has issued an order preventing the
government from officially publishing the results of the election. The
"winner" cannot legally take office until the results are officially
published.

Why? Because Kerry lost?


Because House leader Hasturt is setting up the rules so that
the only laws the House will consider are those that are approved
by a majority of the House Republicans. Not those that are supported
by a majority of the House, should the Democrats find enough support
on the Republican side, only those that The Party approves of.

The over-the-top rhetoric from the left continues. We had an
election, and Bush won. Again. Deal with it. It's over. Let it
go already.


Ever hear the phrase "No Taxation without Representation?". If my
congressman has no possible voice in government, the government
isn't legitimate.

The Electoral College was installed to prevent just that from
happening. In that way, New York can't push North Dakota around.

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution were written in such a way as
to protect the minority from the abuse of the majority.

Like the man said:

Real Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.


Added to by Edward R. Murrow:

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.
