#1 Hey, the Democrats do much worse with their "Get Out the Vote" campaigns. The Democrats have dead people vote for their candidates. Come to think of it, this seems strangly appropriate for them.

#2 Wait, are the Terezays hunched-over yellowshirts? If so, I can't tell them apart from the SEIU!

#5 As long as there are tribes and feudal lords any where, democracy cannot exist. All you have to do to win an ellection is to bribe a tribal leader. Same is true of Pakistan. India is much better off because the first thing they did after independence was to crush the feudal system.

#6 But Fawad, the mere fact that the Terezay leadership has to issue threats to get people to vote "their way" shows that some of the tribe members might be thinking independently. I still think that this is an incredible leap forward for Afghans.

#7 sKerry's tactic is a bit different, but not by much. He establishes phantom voters and has felons go door-to-door. Then, after the election, he sends out his lawyer goons across the country to "enforce" the vote.
