Huffington Post: Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) again went after Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) with coarse words on a conservative talk radio show Monday. Houston radio host Michael Berry asked West to play a “free association game” and say the first thing that pops into his mind in an “undiplomatic, unscripted” way. Berry said Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

“I need a bucket,” he said.

Berry then mentioned the July 19th incident when West e-mailed Schultz and members of the Democratic and Republican leadership with the subject line: “Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz.” [ READ MORE ]

We are fortunate to live in Uganda, a country where it is easy to take the right to vote for granted. Uganda has conducted eight direct general elections at both presidential and parliamentary levels from 1961. Elections conducted between 1961 and 1980 all had a common red thread – perceptions or realities of vote rigging. The perceived or reality of rigging in the December 1980 elections was the key reason for the five year guerilla war fare.

Though relatively calm, the post 1980 elections of 1996; 2001; 2006 and 2011 have all been marred by allegations or realities of military interference, bribery, coercion, manipulation, violence and a host of other electoral malpractices – all of which have subsequently negatively impacted on citizens’ right to freely express themselves through the power of the vote.

In reflection this brings to mind a statement once made by former Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin who said:

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide northing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

Stalin’s statement provides a perspective of elections common to many African countries.

In Uganda, although the minimum electoral threshold provides for voting liberty, right, or franchise, not everyone finds the path to the ballot box easy. Many people risk losing wages for taking time off to vote. Others have childcare or transportation considerations that make voting difficult. Others do not live in the country, while some just made 18 on the polling day and therefore had not been captured on the voters’ register. Still others do not realize they need to change their voter registration information until it is too late.

However most interestingly, even many of those whose names appear on the register find it very difficult to go and vote either because they don’t believe in the whole voting ‘thing’ or they just see no plausible reason to do so. Take for instance, in Uganda’s 2011 general elections, only 58% of the 14 million registered voters turned up for the presidential and parliamentary vote. Despite the currently existing electoral law, it is still quite uncertain on whether it is the voter who matters or the officer that counts the votes. Such real or virtual perceptions go a long way in explaining the often murky type of elections that we have seen in the recent past. Fortunately, governance based civil society groups in Uganda in their post-election agenda have set out to advocate for comprehensive and fair electoral policies to make sure people are not inadvertently left out of the voting process.

Some sections think that it is too early to start talking about electoral reform when the country has just come out of an election, however, if we resolve the many issues that are a product function of the existing inadequate electoral law, then we will be providing answers to the ‘unresolved issues’ from the 2011 elections and laying a firm ground for the 2016 election cycle. To those who think that this is too grand an initiative to embark on, civil society’s resolve of working through all society configurations to achieve collective objectives is anticipated to yield positive results in form of adoption of most or all of the identified electoral reform proposals.

In this spirit of collective strength and quoting from the words of famous political speaker, Paul Davis:

The love of people must surpass the love of power. We must remember we are all interrelated and interconnected as one. None of us are as strong as all of us. Together we all accomplish more. Divided we fall apart and destroy ourselves.

It is possible and necessary to have a fair and comprehensive electoral law four years before the next election.Uganda, Crispy Kaheru, Elections, Yoweri Museveni, Paul Davis, Love of People, Love of Power, Electoral Process, Governance in Uganda, Joseph Stalin

Clipgate — If Barack Obama really believed in his jobs bill, he should have presented it in a leather-bound volume with gold filigree and illuminated initials. So says Fox, so to speak.

The Fox goon machine went on a comical goose-stampede berating Obama’s clipped-Up bill. See videos below.

It seems like the entry of Texas Governor Rick Perry into the race for the White House in 2012 — has energized right-wing media, especially the hardcore right.

They are pooping all over the airwaves:

Yesterday, on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh described a new Oreo that will have both chocolate and vanilla cream as a “biracial” cookie and said that “it isn’t going to be long before it’s going to be called the Or-Bam-eo or something like this.” Limbaugh later called it the “Or-Bam-eo” himself.

On Tuesday, Fox’s Syphilitic Sean Hannity offered a simple — and spectacularly ignorant — explanation for the mortgage crisis: Obama’s “policies”; Obama’s “fault.”

MMFA: In July 2005 — nearly four years before Obama was inaugurated — Dean Baker, an economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, put together a fact sheet on the housing bubble, warning that its collapse would “throw the economy into a recession.” Then there is The Economist from June 2005.
