| Quote: | Bush's go-it-alone stance on many issues — from the Kyoto Treaty to the war in Iraq (news - web sites) — as well as his religious outlook, his Texas background and single-minded approach, have mobilized and polarized people all over the world, even if they can't vote.
Polls in many countries — and a quick survey of the newspapers and TV — leave little doubt that Kerry is the preferred choice across much of the globe. Polls in Germany run as high as 80 percent against Bush. |

And they've polarized young Democrats to finally get up off their asses and vote.
It's still going to be close, but I'm becomi^Ïess and less nervous by the minute.

No, but goes to show you what more un-Administration news does to people's opinions. Now doesn't it?

The reason people wouldn't vote for Bush, is because they think he interferes with things that are non of his business. (actually that opinion applies to the US in general, but especially him.)
Those are the same people that demonstrated against Bush on numerous occasions, critizise the electoral vote system and feel they're qualified experts on foreign policy, economics as well as international law. Most work in low level positions that use neither of their well developed skills, instead they get to use their exceptional debate skills when they try to convince you to take fries with that burger.

Just want less killing all over and more getting after N. Korea before the shit *really* hits the fan.
Oh, and an economy that supports my small business better.
Oh, and I'd like for any two people be able to get married, should they chose to do so.
Oh, and I'd like someone to maybe throw a bone at our ever growing homeless population.
I'd also like to be able to travel outside the US and the UK and actually have someone willing to help me with my map. f*****s.

Whats sad is I know of one person voting for Bush BECAUSE the rest of the world doesnt want him in power. That's some stupid shit either way.
