Iraq's 3rd Historic Election
Wednesday, December 14, 2005 at 08:59PM
Another failed Bush policy. Another illegitimate election under an illegal occupation. Iraq is a quagmire. Iraqis want us out now. The imperialistic United States doesn’t have the right to force democracy on other countries.
*SLAP*
Enough Democratic talking points. Today Iraqis voted for a four-year parliament in the nation’s first democratically elected government. Voter turnout was so high that voting hours were extended. Violence was low while turnout was high. The Sunnis, who boycotted elections earlier in the year, turned out in droves to cast their votes as the urging of their leaders: "God will bless you with long life and prosperity if you vote! It is your duty!" Apparently they learned the lesson that isolation doesn’t put one in a good position to have influence and they don’t wish to repeat that mistake.
Anderson Cooper, CNN correspondent and anchorguy, interviewed an Iraqi woman in a polling place. Her enthusiasm for Democracy and thankfulness to President Bush and the United States seemed to not sit well with Mr. Cooper, but even his retort of, "Well, are you disappointed with anything about the election?" was met by dismissal by the young Iraqi woman who positively glowed with gratefulness for her newfound freedom. Remember, this is what voting in Iraq used to look like:
Meanwhile, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour reported that the "turnout seems to be high" in what appeared to be a despondent state of joylessness that even in Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit (of all places) the elections were a resounding success.
"The Iraqi people are showing the world that all people of all backgrounds want to be able to choose their own leaders and live in freedom," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. And showing all the world they are! VIVA IRAQ!

I'd love to make Brian Lamb sit down and face the camera to admit why he doesn't think the left is biased.
(i know off topic but didnt see anywhere else to post)
Sorry I havent been buy to stop by. I went through a 6 week challenge with curves and it was alot of fun and hard work. We have an award dinner monday so ill have my final loss stats for the challenge then. Also we found out last week we are having a baby! Number 4 on the way :) Due date is 8/15/06, one day after my birthday :) Homeschooling and the three kids with holidays just doesnt seem like there is enough time in the day. Im usually too pooped at the end of the day to even consider getting on the computer, but i miss it and will be on more often.
God Bless
Pray all is well for youa nd your family!

(Like the holiday look you gave the site, Amy... Merry Christmas to you and yours...)
PCD, ha! I am hoping to have time later to visit these Democratic blogs. CNN, MSNBC and everyoen but Fox has been downplaying the elections. Why? Because the liberal media lost today. In fact, the Democrats LOST another election today, but not in the US, but in Iraq.
Chrystal, I got rid of my tagboard. It was like a 5th child I had to babysit. I hope your curves results are all you hope, and CONGRATS on the baby! We have 4 as well, you probably know, and it's GREAT! I'd have 10 if I could. The more the merrier. Do you ever visit Becca? She has 4 children and homeschools. I admire that.
I homeschool my youngest son who is 7. His school this year, well, he had issues with it. It is VERY time consuming so I've had to put a lot of my life this year on hold, but I have to say it is so worth it. I might not be able to produce the kind of articles I want to on this blog, but the tiem spent with him and seeing him learn is a huge reward. So... I don't know how you do it with multiple children. Kudos to you. Blessings to your family this Christmas!
Congratulations! I know what a rush it is to have recognized weight loss. Tuesday, My Dr. showed me I've lost 13 pounds since my last visit. She said I don't know what you are doing, but keep doing it. And I AM!
Viva Iraq!
They are bound and determined to see Dubya fail. They are going to be VERY disappointed. Thank God.
We are all living in History-in-the-making. It's awesome!
It's nice to see the that something good has come from the war with Iraq. Hopefully democracy will take root there and spread quickly. For information on payday loans click here.
