Do you think Ahmadinejad really won the election in Iran or was it fixed? - Jay T - 11-27-2012 06:48 AM
On NPR, they couldn't come right out and say it was fixed (because they try to be unbiased and accurate above sensationalism) but they had caller after caller telling them that the election was fixed and that "nobody" voted for Ahmadinejad.
What do you think?

FIXED. Iran did NOT vote that dictator in a second time...for God's sake, polls for Mir Hossein Musavi were at 85%, and Musavi somehow lost his HOME STATE in a landslide. Come on!

On one hand, the results seem very suspicious....on the other hand, we can't even get accurate poling data in this country(remember Dewey defeats Truman?).....so it's hard to say for sure.....but I'm leaning towards fixed.

Probably fixed. Nobody wins straight these days.

Fixed...I can't see how so many votes could be counted that fast and how a strong opposition candidate could have lost in his own home territory.

I heard Ahmadinejad's supporters did everything in their power to prevent people who didn't favor their candidate from voting. It was a huge election scandal.

How in the world am I supposed to tell being 3,000 miles away and having never stepped foot in Iran?

Fixed, maybe, sort of like the election the USA just had.
They must have had an ACORN too.

Fixed..kinda like our last presidential elections!

100 % fixed, he got the idea from Pres. Bush jr.'s!
The new republican mantra, if you can not beat them fairly, cheat baby cheat!
