You are laughably ignorant. For 4 years Susan Pynchon has been researching and monitoring the accuracy/transparency of US elections, with no political axe to grind. She lobbied against Diebold touchscreens in Florida and Govenor Christ agreed with her and banned those voting machines. She has worked with people from all parties. ALL Americans suffer when ANY voting system or election official is corrupted or secret.

It is a shame Al Jazeera can't tell the truth and can't just say the USA is not, has not and will not be a democracy. Dead people and babies vote and entire groups of people are discounted.

The USA is on the verge of shedding the fake veneer it has coated itself in and will, soon, declare martial law, disband parliament and install a dictator. It is already a corporate dictatorship now, all we need is for the USA to finally admit it to the world.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. Benjamin Franklin

@somethingawful01 Hey, so how'd that martial law go? And who was the dictator that they installed, Dick? Too bad you're too lazy to perform even a simple Google search or understand that the US is not nor has it ever been a democracy. It is a Representative Republic.

@krabadie You are Right Bush election was suspicious, And I have no problem with anyone who gets rid of the Bush party or the Obama puppets. Problem is, come Nov. The votes are not going to count for the People of Majority. Everything is Rigged from here until Christ Return.
