1. If the world could vote we could sit back and enjoy life and not

be so worried about this election.

2. If the world could vote,

It would be a race between Kerry and Nader.

3. thank God they can't

vote in our elections. I don't care if you want Kerry or Nader or even if for some reason you want Bush...until you are ready to disband the US (and I know some of you are) only American citizens should vote in any election in the US.

4. Hey, lighten up a little.

We don't want to disband the US - it'll probably be fine when it's grown out of adolescence and stops letting the bullies take charge all the time. Mind you, if the rest of us did get to vote in your elections we couldn't do a worse job than a large part of your voting population has already done. The worrying thing is that no-one will need to disband the US - if it carries on the way it's going then it will probably just fall apart. Or implode. The "United" bit doesn't quite ring true these day.

5. there ARE some here who want to

disband the US...it isn't about doing a worse job of electing our leaders...it is about US electing them...self-determination type stuff. Right or wrong we are to choose our own destiny. And we might fall apart...and then again...

OnEdit : yes, I DO need to lighten up a little...no more espresso today

7. Fair enough. Then I hope I never hear again that

your President, whomever he is, is the "Leader of the Free World."

Me, I consider myself pretty damn free, and I don't remember having a say in that vote.

8. fine...lead yourself...no problem with that

the fact that you are free means you are free to follow or lead or not. That is cool...we can't stop people from calling the President of the US the Leader of the Free World. When that title is no longer worthy of the leader of the US...then it will stop.

Wow, according to this poll:

Israel supports U.S. regime change by a margin of 15 points.

Northern Mariana Islands - out of 11 people, 5 voted for Bush and 6 for Kerry. 45%/54%. Their one news anchor must be spinning like a madman to keep it a horse-race.

Of the 1,164 Mexicans who voted in this poll, 1,088 (93%) believe that Kerry is better suited to lead America than Kerry is. Of course, I'm sure that the overtly racist republican core would be very proud of this fact.

With 42,194 votes, the U.S. is at 73% Kerry.

This is strange. It seems to reflect a number we've been seeing quite a bit lately. Network news polls don't seem to reflect anything but a slight variance between Bush and Kerry's numbers, although we saw a similar percentage of praise for Kerry's debate performance in the polls after the first presidential debate. It was a Kerry win, 80% to 20%.

Am I to believe that a large portion of that 80% represents republicans who were willing to concede that Kerry was the better speaker?

I'm more convinced than ever, that the republicans are trying to cast a larger-than-life shadow on the wall to scare us.
