"You Are Cordially Invited To Undermine American Elections"
The State Department has invited officials from some European outfit called the "Organization for Security and Cooperation" to "monitor" our presidential election. "The observers,"
CNN reports, "will come from the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights."
Not only did the State Department fail to explain just how all this "monitoring" and "observing" will manifest itself, it also offered no hint as to why American elections require oversight of people from the land of kings and queens. Nor was there any explanation forthcoming where the State Department gets the authority to interfere with domestic elections.
Of course, the contention belying this invitation is obvious: since a Democrat narrowly lost the 2000 presidential election, the election itself must have been corrupt. So, to ensure that doesn't happen again, European observers are being asked to babysit the 2004 presidential election and, should Bush win, allege electoral fraud.
Didn't we fight a revolution to stop Europeans from meddling in our country's politics? And just on whose side is the U.S. State Department? Jeesh. (Where's Joseph McCarthy when you need him?)
Not only is it deeply insulting to ask a bunch of Eurofuck socialists to protect the integrity of our electoral process, it is blatantly unconstitutional. The Constitution does not authorize Congress or the executive to grant foreigners a capacity to monitor or observe the election of the president.
Hey,
Judicial Watch, how about a lawsuit?
