Where is the head banging smiley when you need it?
I posted on another site " What happened to Corrine Brown is scarier than almost anything else..."
and a rightie response to that like this..
I saw Brown's idiotic ranting yesterday. What a nutjob. Everything she said was ridiculous. The UN has no business monitoring our elections. They have many important issues to address. The US is a soverign country - the UN does not monitor elections of soverign nations. Period. IMO, Brown just wants to stir the pot and make the US look ridiculous to the rest of the world. I have no problem with the vote. Apparently, they don't want the US to look ridiculous to the rest of the world, either. At some point, that issue needs to die. What did she think? Hey, if I yell like a mad woman, maybe they'll listen to me? If I scream like an idiot, maybe they'll vote for this?

Good point here, Mandowife...where is the outrage over this? It's okay to break the rules when it may benefit a democrat?

"....Seven of the nine US Supreme Court justices, in addition to the chief judge of the Fla Supreme court, found that the Fla Supreme court's ordered state-wide recount violated the Constitution. Two of the US Supreme court justices finding the constitutional violations were Bill Clinton appointees."

They struck her words because the measure they had just voted on passed, which prevented her from making the request, right?

I can't get your link to open.

This is the measure you posted: Rep. Steve Buyer, R-Ind., proposed a measure barring any federal official from requesting that the United nations formally observe the U.S. elections on Nov. 2. The measure passed.

I don't think it was about free speech. She lost the vote - move on.
