U.N. Official Warns: Electing Mitt Romney Means ‘Democratic Mandate for Torture’

It sounds like somebody has it "all figured out" already !!!

They think Romney will be a torture maniac when he becomes President of the United States !!

I bet many people think that if the U.N. says something, the opposite must be better

The United Nations and its affiliates have been weighing in on U.S. elections with increasing frequency lately– and it’s understandable, considering a wildly disproportionate amount of its funding comes from the United States. In the most recent event, the U.N. special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights raised what he considers to be the “alarming” implications of a Republican victory.

Ben Emmerson lamented Mitt Romney’s position on waterboarding: “There is no doubt that the Romney administration would be able to claim…a democratic mandate for torture…That would put Romney as the first world leader in history to be able to claim [that].”

While he also objected to the secrecy surrounding President Obama’s drastically expanded use of drones, he apparently considers them a preferable alternative.

Emmerson says he plans to voice his concerns about a Republican victory at an upcoming U.N. meeting, but is not being quiet in the meantime..........

U.N. Official Warns: Electing Mitt Romney Means ‘Democratic Mandate for Torture’

Since when does the U.N. decide who Americans elect ?

What are THEY so nervous about ?

Why do they seem to "Prefer" Democrats ?

More good news for Romney. His opponent has been endorsed by Chavez, Putin, Castro, the United Nations, and Honey Boo Boo. We've just got to elect Romney, quick! He's perfect.

putin is ex-kgb, castro a master orator, lawyer and charismatic, communist revolutionary and chavez is a socialist "man of the people".

what do they have in common. they are experts on manipulation, psychological warfare, guile and propaganda. as well as highly educated.

they are well aware how they are viewed in america, primarily as enemies of freedom and capitalism.

and are equally aware how their endorsement will play out to the american people.

just like if they endorsed romney, it'll sway favourable opinion to obama.

so for them to endorse obama with this knowledge is to know that they view obama as a threat and would rather have romney in charge, a man ignorant of anything that doesn't involve him or bain capital, a man who would be more focused on himself, than what russia, cuba and venezuela are up to.

Dear randomname,

and are equally aware how their endorsement will play out to the american people.

just like if they endorsed romney, it'll sway favourable opinion to obama.

And they are aware that the nation's leaders will see what you've seen and decide that the endorsers really wanted Romney, so they'll tell everyone to vote for Obama which was really their plan all along.

But, with Obama's "flexibility" after the election, and other cues, I do believe they would prefer to have him in than Romney. Isn't Romney's reputation as a warmonger who will launch missiles if anyone even sneezes? No, your idea is clever, but I think they'd rather have the devil they know, Obama.

With respect,
