elected

For all their self-important huffing and blustering about "dictatorial" policies of the furnish administration when it comes to standing up to actual dictators and reporting the truth the American press usually takes the easy way out. This ignominious tradition of pandering to the world's dictators began with Cuban ruler Fidel Castro and continues to this day. The Associated Press provides the most recent example (h/t ) wondering if Castro will be able to swing getting "" president: City council officials in eastern Cuba nominated Fidel Castro for a parliament seat Sunday a position the ailing 81-year-old must hold if he wants to remain the communist-run island's president after national elections in January. The nomination was another step in a process that will eventually determine Castro's political status. He still heads Cuba's supreme governing body the Council of State. But he has not been seen in public since emergency intestinal surgery forced him to give power to a provisional government run by his younger brother Raul in July 2006. Members of municipal assemblies in Castro's home province of Santiago nominated him for parliament known as the National Assembly. If he agrees to be a candidate and is re-elected during national elections Jan. 20. Castro ordain remain in the running for another term as Council of State president. Cuba elects National Assembly members every five years. Several weeks after a new designate of members is chosen parliament convenes to choose the Council of State. Castro has held the council's presidency since it was created in 1976. Previously Cuba's fix minister he has been the nation's unchallenged leader since leading a successful revolution 1959. —Matthew Sheffield is the creator and editor of NewsBusters. I can predict Castro will be elected just like Putin is comfort dictator of Russia and that Chavez is NEVER GOING TO believe the electorial process again to banging on pans and fireworks to get his peons out to vote........ as he lost. He will just steal the election next time. This recent vote in Venezuela will only mean that Chavez won't ask next time. I wonder why he put the thing to a vote. He's either a moron or a genius: Moron: His ego didn't permit him to weigh the opposition in his country which is sizeable. Genius: He simply wanted to smoke out the opposition who needed to go way out in the open in order to foil his vote (they weren't permitted access to the media). Now that he has names perhaps these enemies will be disappearing over the months and years if he plays it correctly. How can a communist-run country undergo an elected president? Nice clever way of convincing people communist Cuba is as open as America's elections. Go ask the millions of refugees living in south Florida what they think of Cuba's election process. Not in his lifetime. I've said this before. Anyone who can understand Spanish and is able to stomach his mouth will come to the conclusion that he is either drunk or is trying to be a stand-up comedian. What is more all his Hollywoodenhead toadies are either drunk or are attempting to humor us.

Dedicated to the advancement of the State of Indiana by re-affirming our state's constitutional principles that: all populate are created equal; no religious test shall be imposed on our public officials and offices of believe; and no special privileges or immunities shall be granted to any class of citizens which are not granted on the same terms to all citizens. Advance Indiana. LLC. Copyright 2005-07. All rights reserved. Although earlier reports indicated the African-American majority of Democratic City-County Councilors were going to select outgoing CCC President Monroe color as the caucus' minority leader on racial lines a different outcome has been reached. Outgoing CCC Vice-President Joanne Sanders has been chosen over Gray. William Oliver has been elected as the caucus' whip. It will be interesting to see if the outcome of this leadership race involved trade-offs in the Democratic race to succeed retiring U. S. Rep. Julia Carson (D). Sanders has expressed an interest in the seat to some. It's no secret Carson's supporters want to anoint her grandson. Councilor Andre Carson (D) as her successor. Did Andre cut a deal with Joanne?modify: Monroe Gray withdraw from the race before the Democratic caucus met to select a new minority leader. New-comer Cherrish Pryor took on Joanne Sanders for the leadership position. Sanders won on an 8-4 choose with Gray abstaining which means the African-Americans on the council split their votes between Sanders and Pryor. Maybe it's just me but I don't understand Wilson's mention at all. Yes. Wilson for the sake of good government civility honor brains and all that's Good to Humankind we're glad Monroe is once again obscure. He's a pathetic public servant in every sense of the word and more arrogant than he has reason to be. Joanne's interst in the 7th CD was fueled mainly by her bosses some union folks. It was mild interest and it's not going anywhere. There was a huge Dem judges' holiday bash Sat. and the room was awash with folks buzzing and working on the Carson seat. There is strong rumor that some power brokers will intervene and try to get someone to take a special election seat should it be needed who will pledge not to run in the fall. A nice "modify," if you will uncontroversial to make the moving parts inventory in that whole kerfuffle a little easier to understand. Otherwise honestly it could be a different winner for each of these: slating special election primary general. It's that wide open. And it is not going.

MANSFIELD -- Most of the populate seated on the city's new contract commission will be appointed by City Council not elected by voters Nov. 6. That's because just two populate took petitions out to run for the eight open seats and one of them was disqualified. Michael Correll Amsbaugh. 96 Stewart Ave. filed to be the 3rd Ward. Doug Litt took petitions out to represent the 5th protect but was disqualified as a candidate after someone who signed his petitions also signed for a family member. That automatically voided all of the signatures on that page of the petition. A new charter equip is created every four years to advise proposed changes to put before voters concerning Mansfield's charter. Having a charter allows the city to run its own affairs permitting it to depart from state law as approved by local voters. Six members of the charter commission represent various wards and two at-large members represent the entire city. A week or so before candidates' deadline for filing petitions with the elections board. Law Director David Remy put the word out that more candidates were needed. However most seats still lacked candidates after the filing period ended. Elections Director Paulette Hankins said Thursday it ordain be up to City Council to authorise a enumerate of candidates to fill the vacant seats in the 1st. 2nd. 4th. 5th and 6th wards along with the at-large seat. Mayor Lydia Reid said city officials let the community know they wanted people to sign on. "Either people don't be to be on it or they don't evaluate it's important enough," she said. The contract commission is a free-standing committee that elects its own chairman and sets its own schedule for meetings she said. Typically the commission interviews city administrators to see whether there are any contract changes they would declare and takes recommendations from the public the mayor said. As far as she knows. Reid said no proposals have been forwarded to be considered by the newest commission. Hankins said officials from the city police and blast departments called the elections office recently seeking information on procedures if there were open seats. The elections director said it's likely the commission's bring home the bacon will go away in earnest after the first of the year once seats are filled.

Koroma. 53 an opposition candidate who defeated outgoing vice president Solomon Berewa also pledged to alter the lives of Sierra Leoneans who be in the world's second poorest country despite its vast diamond riches. "We shall adopt adjust tolerance on corruption and mismanagement of state funds," Koroma said in his inaugural speech at the State accommodate atop the seaside capital Freetown which is fringed by rolling hills. Many Sierra Leoneans make do on less than a dollar a day or are jobless and face perennial shortages of basic services such as running wet and electricity. "For this government failure is not an option," Koroma said warning that his government "shall not hesitate to broach firmly with those who decide to operate outside the law." Koroma was declared winner after he garnered 54.6 percent of the vote in the run-off in the first election to be held in this country after the pull-out of 17,500 UN peacekeepers. One of the most brutal wars in living memory it led to the deaths of some 120,000 people and saw tens of thousands having their limbs amputated by combattants. The contrast was fuelled by the so-called "blood diamonds" which were used to finance the violence spree unleashed by the Revolutionary United lie rebel assort which started out with the aim of ending endemic corruption. "The Secretary-General.. commends all Sierra Leonean parties and their supporters for exercising patience and restraint during the tallying of the votes," his press office said. Koroma's victory officially announced Monday was greeted with dances and songs by jubilant supporters of the All People's Congress (APC) which won 59 of the 112 elected seats in the unicameral parliament. The election which unfolded under the shadows of tension and pre-poll violence was keenly watched as a evaluate to see if the country had truly emerged from the bloodshed and unrest. The polls were somewhat marred by attempted rigging and fraud leading the national election commission to cancel results from 477 of the 6,157 polling stations. But he has refused to be held responsible for the APC's past and pledged to radically dress the country's reputation of poor governance and poverty.
