The Pot Calling The Kettle Black

Below are two quotes from a recent article by the AP.

"The Iranian people deserve a genuinely democratic system in which elections are honest and in which their leaders answer to them instead of the other way around," Bush said in a statement released by the White House Thursday. "And to the Iranian people, I say: As you stand for your own liberty, the people of America stand with you."

"Iran is ruled by men who suppress liberty at home and spread terror across the world," Bush said. "Power is in the hands of an unelected few who have retained power through an electoral process that ignores the basic requirements of democracy. The June 17th presidential elections are sadly consistent with this oppressive record."

I say -The American people deserve a genuinely democratic system in which elections are honest and in which their leaders answer to them instead of the other way around.

Bush wasn't elected to his first term, he was appointed by the Supreme Court. This administration has been the most secretive in the history of this country. They refuse to be held accountable or to even answer questions that Americans have the right to hear. Bush was opposed to a 9-11 commission. Testimony by members of this administration is done behind closed doors and without an official record.

I say -America is ruled by men who suppress liberty at home and spread terror across the world. Power is in the hands of an unelected few who have retained power through an electoral process that ignores the basic requirements of democracy.

Bush has people thrown out of tax-payer funded events because they do not agree with him. Protesters are corralled, falsely arrested, and attacked because they disagree with him. He is responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 in Iraq alone. The people of that country now live in a state of terror that far exceeds anything under Saddam Hussein. Electronic voting with no way to verify the actual vote does not constitute an electoral process that meets the basic requirements of a democracy.

Bush is not talking about Iran, he is talking about America.
