Alcee Hastings To Lead Election Monitors

This is unbelievable! The Austrian-based Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), soon to provide the first ever foreign monitoring of U.S. elections, has elected Alcee Hastings as president of its parliamentary assembly. This will allow him to appoint and assign November election monitors.

When he was a federal district judge, Alcee Hastings was convicted of soliciting a $150,000 bribe from racketeers in return for sentence reduction from three years to probation AND in return for a modified ruling to allow the racketeers to get back over $800,000 worth of property that had been confiscated. Hastings also was convicted of perjury for lying to the court during the bribery trial. After the criminal convictions, he was impeached by the U.S. Senate and fired from his position as a federal judge.

The Senate decided to dump Hastings for the simple reason that his presence marred the integrity of the judiciary. Hastings exhibited a complete lack of moral and ethical underpinnings by demonstrating that he could become a puppet of the criminals for a fist of cash. To hell with the law! Judge Alcee can be bought.

But, it's more than just being bought. Judge Hastings actively sought people to buy him. He solicited the bribe. His conviction wasn't a case where someone was minding his own business and along comes temptation. Hastings went and put his decision-making power on the market. And, I'm sure he would have held an auction if there had been more than one bidder.

In addition to having a total disregard for the tenets of the law and the judiciary along with the ethics of a crack whore, Hastings is a convicted liar, having perjured himself under oath in court.

In summary, Hastings was convicted as an influence peddler and liar because he had no respect for truth and the law. So, now he is responsible for monitoring the November election in Florida to assure that everything is on the up and up. Since Hastings can't tell right from wrong and he's monitoring an election where there's lots of cash flowing from the ample hands of George Soros, my take is that he'll do his best to cheat the system in favor of the Democrats.

What's needed is an election monitor monitor to watch Hastings like a hawk.
