Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman say that "until the left faces the rot that defines the Democratic Party, there is no hope for a fair election in this country":
In other words: those who think the White House can be retaken in 2008, but refuse to face the theft of the vote in 2004, should prepare to be ruled by the likes of Jeb Bush, now and forever.More at The Free Press.
Meanwhile, Dahr Jamail's latest piece shows the latest Iraqi Consititution referendum was also a sad sham:
Just before Saturday's so-called constitutional referendum vote in occupied Iraq, one of my close friends in Baghdad wrote me, "I would like to point out that we are three days away from the referendum, yet very large sectors of Iraqi people couldn't receive part of the five million copies [of the constitution] from the UN, ie- they will not know what the constitution contains. Subsequently, they will vote according to their backgrounds or religious or political preferences. Many people who will vote yes do not know why they will vote yes...what kind of vote is this?"Real elections are anathema to those who promote fake Democracy.
