Did a majority of iraqis repeatedly elect Sadam through fair elections?

Considering that only Saddam's name was allowed on the ballot and you could be shot for voting for anybody else - I would say that they were in no way 'fair.'

No , when Saddam's election came up there was just one name on the ballot Saddam Huessin. But, really do we have a Democracy makes no difference how many names was on the ballot old Diebold choose George Bush. Just a a bunch cheats and thugs the whole Republican party. When Larry Craig was suppose to resign Sept 30 , why didn't McConnell go over to him and tell him, 'Hit the road.". I'll tell you why all those old stanch Republicans are so sissy and girly that they are afraid to step up grab his seat throw him out in the aisle and tell him hit the road. Give Webb permission to show him the door , I'll grantee he'll be stepping high out that door with his pants wet. Kick him to the curve and tell him, GET. He'll be running to that car leaving out, but no they are to heney peney. Grab old Vitter by the neck and boot him out right behind old Craig. Craig will be trying to make a date with Vitter as they lay in the Splendor in The Grass.

Democracies are not controlled by dictators.
There was only one political Party allowed in Iraq and that was Saddam Insane B'aith Party.
Hard not to get elected when there is only one party on the voting card.

No,,,Iraq was a dictatorship, desquised as a republic. Iraq citizens did vote for Saddam in rigged elections for fear of death if they did not. And as expected Saddam received 100% of the vote every election, because anyone who opposed Saddam was killed. Which is the way Hillary will run the country.
