caitlin likes to point out hypocrisies and here is a clear example. it seems that there is election fraud throughout the world that is occupied by those we oppose but never to be found here at home;
Western media are blaring headlines today about a rigged election, not in the United States or any of the other powerful nations allied with it whose elections are consistently fraudulent from top to bottom, but in the small Central American nation of Nicaragua.
A Google search brings up only news stories disparaging the Nicaragua election and its results.
