Shady Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 You can count on the fact election was fair There are grounds for being surprised at the result of the Iranian election. Even grounds for being disappointed. But there are absolutely no grounds for the cats' chorus of criticism and allegations now emanating from some quarters after the cookie crumbled the wrong way. Link When George Galloway isn't busy cozying up to dictoators in Cuba, Venezuela, terrorist governments in Gaza, and the former dictator of Iraq. He spends the rest of his time defending the Mullahs of Iran, and the psycho-President on their recent fair and democratic elections. Quote
Oleg Bach Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Now I know this Galloway character is a complete nut. Is he stupid? There was no election in Iran! How can there be a an election or let alone a fair election if the outcome is the same no matter how you vote - He...is a naive little boy - you would think he of all people understood the dynamics of geo-politics.

Sir Bandelot Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 There was no election in Iran! How can there be a an election or let alone a fair election if the outcome is the same no matter how you vote A very, very good question. Now look in the mirror Quote
Oleg Bach Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 A very, very good question. Now look in the mirror Are you insinuating I do not exercise my right to vote? Also: How can I possibly have an effect on what takes place in Iran - or in Canada or America... ? Am I the supreme leader -- ? I don't believe so my friend - your message is to cryptic to follow accurately. The point is - why bother in any nation to have the people vote at all when there are powers that be that control everything domestically and internationally - the best I can do is sing - and wail out a solo..maybe that is leadership?

So you understand my point then. When you say "How can there be a an election or let alone a fair election if the outcome is the same no matter how you vote?", I say, so true... and maybe its true for you and me too. Yes, I am feeling a bit cynical about the whole political process today. Certainly I am old enough to know, when a liar speaks, when you know hat you are talking to a liar, you can now assume or doubt everything they say. We are told what to think by the ones who are paid to advance certain ideas. Thats the nature of the beast, everywhere in the world it seems. Now as for this Galloway character, he is just another mouth that is moving. There is only one way to know what happened over there in Iran, or even underatand what these people are so angry about, and thats to go there and speak to them directly. But of course, thats impossible. It is ironic that in this age of information that we have today, news can be shown instantaneously from anywhere in the world. Yet it is impossible to know the real truth about anything, anywhere. Quote
dub Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 he may have stood up for some good causes, but after this article, it is showing that he's willing to change his standards on human rights in order to keep his relationship with some. Quote

Wow, an amazing admission from dub. Perhaps soon you will come to see that the statements that he has made in regards to some of his previous "good causes" were no more true than the statement he has made with regards to Iran's elections?
