United Nations should be kicked off US soil: US congressman

[B00Mer]

Republican congressman Connie Mack has called on the US administration to stop funding the United Nations, saying the world body should be “kicked off US soil.”

Connie, who is the representative for Florida’s 14th congressional district, condemned the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) for its plan to send monitors to polling places across the United States on Election Day to monitor the event.

OSCE, which is registered as an NGO with the UN, will send 44 observers across America to monitor the voting centers. The organization was asked by American civil rights groups to monitor the election, after being warned of “a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans - particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.”

The 45-year-old congressman stressed that the news should have outraged every American, because “the only ones who should ever oversee American elections are Americans.”

The Republican politician said that the idea that the UN “would be allowed, if not encouraged” to monitor the US election, “is nothing short of disgusting.”

“For years the United Nations has aggressively worked against the best interests of our country and many of our allies. The UN’s actions and intentions toward the United States have been nothing short of reprehensible," Connie added.

Connie is the Republican Senate nominee, running for 2012 US Senate election in Florida, which is scheduled be held alongside the 57th US presidential election on November 6.

That is a strange thing to get outraged over. An honest person would welcome outsiders overseeing the neutrality of elections. Just like every corporation gets a third party to certify their products.

One can get outraged at the UN over the idea of censoring blasphemy, their impotence in the face of tyranny, their lack of democratic process or free access to debates, amongst other things. This however, is something which should be seen as positive by any country holding elections.

I think it's more of the feeling that the United States is supposed to set an example for the rest of the world to follow in democracy, that other 3rd world and corrupt nations don't follow..

I find it very offensive that a Government body that feels it need to give credence to the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has the balls to say it finds a need to monitor US elections.

8 Billion a year spent on the UN, and it's time to cut funding, kick them out of the USA and they can setup house in Iran for all I care..

Canada needs to dump the UN as well, "Canada loses bid for UN Security Council seat" best example.

Screw the UN and all those Libtards running it...

The US did set an example for the rest of the world. That is why there is so much hanky panky in elections everywhere.

Yeah they are getting rid of the "Hanky Panky" by making it law that you have to prove you're a US citizen and who you are before you vote.

Just tired of the Libtards saying, these poor people don't have ID or can't afford it.. to cash a check, or qualify for social assistance or any government aid you need ID..
