Ahmadinejad 'wins' again

[Clanrickard]

About twice as much are out celebrating, that's democracy.

If you or anyone else thinks Iran is a democracy then you really don't understand what democracy means.

it appears to be run to an extent by mullahs as opposed to bankers which happens in the US and most western societies . There also appeared to be more parties running in the iranian election than the recent US one .

Sorry if this has been posted already but I find it hilarious. Iran "on track" with Iarnrod Eireann.

Most candidates were excluded as they are every election. Anybody who thinks Iran is democratic is either ill informed or a ranting anti-American nut job who would cheer for anyone just so they can cock a snoop at the yanks. Which are you?

Spoken like a true Irishman, I presume you'll be telling us Ireland is a pristine example of democracy next. Fact is democracy is hypocrisy, a lie in every one of its manifestations. Islam is the ONLY answer.

So you accept that the democratic process in Iran has been usurped by the religous establishment. Thankyou. Don't you think you would be happier living somewhere like Saudi Arabia? Or is your courage not as strong as your convictions?

There are more candidates and parties banned in Iran than nearly any other country. Your point seem to bend back on itself.

[Thac0man]

feel free to post your evidence of vote rigging and prove to us how ahmadinejad is just as undemocratic as hugo chavez who apparently also rigs elections .

Is that inviting referance to the fact bth Chavez and Ahmedinjad control most media in their respective countries? Careful what you wish for, because that is in fact true.

Incorrect. There have been no large scale celebrations. There are instead large scale riots in a number of cities. I advise you watch the news.

Presumably by "Iranians" you mean "the mullahs" since all indications are that the vote was rigged.

But then, you're a believer in an undemocratic Caliphate, so it's no surprise you would support an unelected priest caste.

P.

It is an undeniable truth that posters to politics.ie posture as having insight on thousands of topics of which they are totally ignorant.

This is yet another case in point.

The idiot above says "all indications are that the vote was rigged". Sitting at his computer terminal a couple of thousand miles from Iran, a thick who wouldn't know Farsi from Arabic, who has never been abroad, if you discount a drunken week in Lanzarote, who knows SFA about the culture or history of Iran, this utter ignoramus issues his stupid pronunciamentos.

And he's not the only one. He is just one of the clowns' legion, serving with Clanrickard etc.

Listen, fatheads, why don't you stick your feet back in your mouths, you know nothing about Iran except whatever you cull from peering at your computer screens.

It may be, or it may not be that the election was tampered with. I do not know. And none of the fools posting here knows either.
