Mr. Boehner called on Iranians to boycott the vote and said U.S. officials don’t do enough to encourage Iranians to rise up and overthrow the regime through internal revolution.
“If I were a citizen of Iran, knowing what I know about the regime, I would not vote because it means nothing,”
bro ,it really doesn't matter . US officials are almost united on their stance against Iran mate .

You did know Boehner is gone and is completely irrelevant, right ? As irrelevant now as he was in Congress.

The regime in Iran should be changed IMO, but it's up to Iranians to do that.
With voter turnout like you say it seems Iranians are happy with an oppressive government.

Iranians on the other hand ,know some stuff about their own political system and yeah they are very happy with it . i for example know little about US political system . i cannot brand it as oppressive just because it's not the way i like it . you should do the same .
thanks for saying IMO which stands for "in my opinion" .

Uhm he is a private citizen being hes no longer in government. That means your ad hoc title is misleading, even more so since the title of the article says nothing about the US.
As for Iran hes not that far off considering candidates must be approved to run for office. Its the same fake democracy china uses in Hong Kong where people vote for one of the candidates approved to run by the chinese government.
The manner in which you put this thread together, misleading headline and invoking US politicians when they arent involved, and the fact you have Iran listed as your country, undermines your own argument.
Speaking of rich...

There's really no point arguing with these chickenhawks.
Most the people posting in this thread want and would take great glee in bombing you.
To them the biggest mistake the U.S. has done is not bomb iran

Haman, why do you constantly refuse to comment on the treatment of Baha'is in Iran?
I've asked you before, you ALWAYS specifically ignore that. Why?
yep . thats exactly right . knowing about bahaí s doesn't make you a know-it-all .

You can call it a troll post all you want. It's a direct example of the oppression of the current government. But hey apparently I know nothing about Iran right?
