Take it easy people

Settle down. calm down now.

What is the matter? Does it really matter what percentage participated and actually cast a vote and what portion did not?

I mean are we gonna waste time arguing over the numbers, you know 34% vs 78% vs 100& or zero?

It was called a Pious/religious/Moral duty to come out and Rock the country and the vote.

Something interesting happened the day before the elections and I overheard the Chief Baker (noonva) at out local noonvai telling his buddy...

"yeah dude. I am totally beat man. Was a long night. we were there with a bunch of guys messing around with them Boxes, and you know, putting all kinds of shiit in there like they asked us to,  and having a ball...Man. There were like some papers, with marks and stuff written all over them...I said...he he...what are we playing here? 

 and Then he so cordially and polietly turned to us and asked Hey dudes...Does anyone have a beer in their pockets? i need one real bad man. 

Oh and as a side note: DTP(dr. parsi) Is gonna be the guest on Jon stewart show on March the 8th. Just felt like throwing in it out there.

34% is too high and likely a big lie

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Sat Mar 03, 2012 04:38 PM PST

the news coming out of iran in to london is very dark, the darkest it has ever been, worse than the war years, i strongly doubt with the level of mass discontent the regime pulled off 1/3 of all eligible voters, maybe in the countryside, but not in esfahan, tehran, mashad etc. 

Greens were more like 68% before they were crushed with help from the west, the regimes is on the ropes and the west only wants other extremist mullahs to take over. //www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/william-h...

The legitimate secular opposition groups look like they are being muzzled by someoe for now.

34% makes perfect sense

by Abarmard on Sat Mar 03, 2012 03:06 PM PST

I am not accusing the system of fraud but if about 20% of the population were green (according to official IR release) and last election 55% participated, 34% makes perfect sense.
