    Do you mean who we WANT to win, who we THINK will win, or who we plan to vote for?

    If the first case, you need a write-in slot. I don't WANT either of these two in charge.

    Guess there's no mystery how I voted. And I also don't need to tell you all that I think you are tragically wrong...well, most of you at least.

    I'm looking for a good strong sedative to take for 4 years if Kerry gets elected...if he gets in, look out...not just for the US, but the entire western world.

    God, I hate being right all the time.

    Nothing could be further from the truth - ALL Americans: Repubicans, Dems, cons, middle-of-the-roaders and libs, owe the Brits a huge THANK YOU for being supportive and standing by us during these times. It is not partisanship, but pure gratitude for helping us out. Thanks!

    Yes, HS, I'll loan you some of mine, since I've had to suffer through four years of Shrub - maybe even four more.

    :rolleyes:


    According to Ara's link, Azerbadjan, Barbados, Congo, Liechtenstein, Montserrat, Niger, Niue, St. Pierre and Miquelon, and Turkmenistan are the only ones where Bush is winning, and of these, Niger(which someone have cheated in, a small article at the bottom of the page) and Congo are the only ones which he have a convincing lead in.

    Hell, even in USA, Kerry is leading with 74% against 25%.

    Total, when I voted, it was Bush with 11% against Kerry's 88%.

    Quite convincing that the world hates Bush, isn't it?

    Wow - if that's accurate, then the world hates Bush even more than I thought.

    I'm British, so this doesn't really count, but - I want Kerry in simply so Bush is out. Then all we need is for Teflon Tony to lose his election (but to whom?).

    Personally, I think that this poll is just as accurate (currently Bush 57 - Kerry 43) and a hell of a lot more fun.

    Well not really, the vote really doesen't seem to realiable and I doubt the people who said they're from Congo really aren't from Kongo and besides most internet polls are just completely useless.

    I would like to comment this mass hysteria about Bush a bit and I just as well might do it here.

    I really do not understand what's the big deal with him? I fail to see exactly how Bush is not just like any normal American president? What do you exactly think is the worst possible thing he could do? He may be stupid but he sure as hell ain't stupid enough start another war with the American army allready streched to its limits.

    He might back down from international treaties but as an American president that is his choise and it's really the American people who choose what kind of foreign policy they want to see from their president. His actions might hurt the global economy but that too is his choise and if he wishes to do so then let him do so.

    The damage he can do in one season is quite limited and if he does too much damage it's quite likely that we'll see a democratic president after four years, who'll (atleast try) set things right. I'm really getting sick of hearing the "If Bush is chosen we're all doomed!" chant. Lighten up people it's only one man and four years. I'm sure there are plenty enough Americans (well hopefully those on this board atleast :D ) who won't believe every word said in the Fox News.

    EDIT: Thought I'd said a few words about Kerry too now that we're discussing them both here. The man seems decent enough and certainly seems more patient and intelligent in the debates than Bush, but he's been talking about quite a few "better plans" and I do not know if all these "better plans" would actually be good for America since it would be quite a policy change. He would be my candidate though based on the debates and the fact that I'm an European and Kerry would probably be a better choise for the European economy. ;)

    Well from what I've seen from Hacken Slash on these forums I'll assume that it was sarcasm (allthough you never know ), but I'm afraid the anti-bush camp is quite serious with their claims.

    The Great Snook, that was hilarious, and yes I voted for Bush in that poll. He was simply the better dancer. The link deserves its own topic though.

    Believe it or not it was The Little Snook who found that. I asked him how he voted and he claims he voted twice for Bush. I told him if you voted twice you probably are a Democrat :) . At that point Mrs. Snook yelled at me.

    Yes, and the voting machines will strangely register for Pat Buchanan.

    The hiphop debate reminded me of an oldie but goodie from the 2000 election. Gore clearly wins this one!
