Marjorie Cortez: What price freedom? Let's survey the Afghans

Oh boy, another youngster who thinks all we need to do is take another poll and that will tell us what to do to fix everything.

You are aware that they just HAD an election in Afganistan aren't you? What is an election if not a poll?

And you are aware that there was a lot of voting irregularities in that election, right? So what makes you think a CNN Poll or something is going to be any more accurate in determining the "will of the people" if an election overseen by the UN and international agencies there to do everything in their power to insure a fair election failed?

Yet you think the US media... or the Afgan media... or the Afgan government... can just do a quick poll... and we should trust THAT result is correct and hasn't been corrupted by the same forces that corrupted the recent election?

And how would they do this Poll??? Call all the Afgan people (who mostly don't have phones)? Or do an internet poll... when most don't have electricity? Or have ACORN go door to door doing the poll?

How would YOU do this "Poll"? Really!

Marjorie,

Are you aware that the same problem has been reported here? In New Jersey? If you don't watch FoxNews you probably wouldn't know anything about it. The mainstream_media seems to have no_problem with it.

You pointed out in your piece that, "Men ferried hundreds of voting cards purportedly filled out by women to polling places where the ballots were accepted, no questions asked. One man reportedly cast 35 votes on behalf of female relatives".

The same thing has been reported in New Jersey, where they loosened absentee voting rules to not require identification, and are now noticing that more people have already voted by mail than the total who voted in past elections.

They've already proven that not all the votes were sent by the person they said they were (voting officials have identified votes for dead people, people who got lists of minorities and poor people they assumed wouldn't vote and just voted FOR THEM! They discovered this when SOME people on these lists tried to vote and discovered someone had already voted FOR_THEM and they were turned away (but they swear they didn't submit an absentee vote).

Is this not alarming?

Having ACORN go door to door to register voters, conduct the Census, etc, is like having the Taliban to go door to door in Afganistan and trusting whatever results they turn in.

And WE PAY ACORN to do this stuff!!!

I forgot to mention that Democrat leaders in New Jersey have gone to court to have these proven fraudulent votes in New Jersey be COUNTED!!! And considered "Provisional Ballots"!!!

Can you believe that?

Any question where the guys who are getting their hands on these lists and voting for these people got that idea (can you say ACORN/Democrats)?

They've done it before... and their doing it again.
