UN Won’t Touch House Dems Election "Help Request" With 10-Ft-Pole
2004-07-08
EFL, RTWT, you know the drill
The United Nations has turned down a controversial request by nine members of the U.S. Congress to assign international observers to the U.S. presidential election in November. The request came in the form of a letter drafted by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, and signed by eight other members of the House. "Generally, the United Nations does not intervene in electoral affairs unless the request comes from a national government or an electoral authority – not the legislative branch," said U.N. spokeswoman Marie Okabe.
Apparently, the UN knows the US Constitution better than these idiot "representatives" do. The Legislative branch has NO POWER to directly meddle in international affairs. (holy cow, I just praised the U.N.!)

#12  What? Maxine Waters isn't on that list! I am shocked :p

The request didn't include molotov cocktails and looting Korean businesses.

#7  Ever notice that it's the Dems that fear an election and not the Republicans? I too am surprised Waters didn't sign off our countries independence. Where did these freaked-out people come from? Can we send a complementary bottle of Prozac to them? There are going to need it after this next election.

#3  You just beat me to it, tu3031.

What's really scary is that Carson, Crowley, Grijalva, Cummings, and Davis each represent their respective state's seventh district. Is there some sort of Illuminati thing going on here?

#2  Ah! That's what I wanted:

Besides Johnson, the other representatives signing the letter to Annan – all Democrats – were Julia Carson of Indiana; Jerrold Nadler, Edolphus Towns, Joseph Crowley and Carolyn B. Maloney, all of New York; Raul Grijalva of Arizona, Corrine Brown of Florida, Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, Danny K. Davis of Illinois and Michael M. Honda of California.
