Nothing against people from all over the world, but I will never allow my vote here in America to be determined by outside influences. I strongly resent any non-American's attempts to influence our election. I will support President Bush for that reason alone.

Ha, yeah, .... Well, I remember the election for Austrian presidency when the candidat called Kurt Waldheim was without chance to win, but then the USA put him on the so-called "Watch list" and.... he became president.

Do you expect the rest of the world to allow themselves to be led by this bunch of greedy, manipulative mendacious, intellectually-challenged, corridoor-crawling corporate lackeys and geo-political cowboys? Do you really? This lot will be leading me NOWHERE, and after the recent revelations about the 'reasons for war' I'll be doing my best to persuade members of the British public that it is no longer in our interest to follow the lead of right-wing corporate America, and that our moves - economic, political and cultural - should be towards Europe.

EVERYTHING you have described as what you would HATE to be told to do, the US govt is famous for telling the world what to do (and esp. this administration):



1. Who they should have as leaders. If a leader doesnt suit the US they simply manipulate the people, spark off rebellions or wage a war to change him. Do a search for US sponsored regime changes, either direct or by proxy.



2. TONE: How about the administrations "tone" to the world??? The are the biggest bulls in a china shop - no respect, no tact, no diplomacy. Juggernauts, running roughshod over everbody.



3. Clean up your own corner. How about this administration clean itself and the ills in the US before foising the "New American Century" project on the rest of us, and telling us that the US is a shining example of how things should be when it is clearly NOT?



I think regime change should start with in the US.

I love President Bush.



When is your next election? I want to tell you how to vote.

[debbie mannas]

if you feel that my government has deliberate evil designs on the world and is thoroughly screwing it up, by all means tell me how to vote.



If you care so much about it all, do take the time to do your research and find out when our next elections are yourself, and who is running too, and what our issues are.



Meantime, it is my opinion that the world should be voting to choose the next US President.



PS: your tone in the last post was a bit off....

Bring it on. We'll kick everyone's a$$.

Protest Against the Press Release: Hong Kong Election Farce

Hong Kong Election Farce Exposed: Tycoons with Dozens of Votes



Democratic Party Chairman Martin Lee today ridiculed the Hong Kong electoral arrangements put in place by the appointed Provisional Legislature which have resulted in many tycoons accumulating dozens of votes.



Thirty seats in Hong Kong's May 24 elections will be returned by so-called "functional constituency" elections. In the 1995 elections, the functional constituency electorate was 2.7 million. But the post-handover government slashed the electorate by 2.5 million and re-installed "corporate" voting -- instead of "one person, one vote," Hong Kong's elections will feature "one company, one vote." However, an investigation by the South China Morning Post has revealed that business executives who register more companies have more votes (see full text of article below).



The Real Estate Functional Constituency, for instance, contains only 410 corporate "voters" (by contrast, each of the 20 democratically elected seats will have over 250,000 individual voters). But a number of tycoons have arranged a massive concentration of votes by registering shelf companies, which then each have a "vote." One of these shelf companies has a share capital of HK$2.



Martin Lee commented: "Many of Hong Kong's business leaders have long made it no secret they do not like democracy, but now it turns out that they sure do like votes!



As if we needed more evidence -- this farce reveals that Hong Kong's rotten electoral system could not be more blatantly designed to misrepresent the views of Hong Kong's 6.5 million citizens. The Democratic Party calls for a full inquest into these fraudulent arrangements and for the abolition of the functional constituency system which encourages this type of abuse. We will accordingly be contesting the May elections with a platform of full democratic elections for the entire legislature."

Larree's started doing research!!! hehehehehe



There may be a point to this after all....



how about India???

[debbie mannas]

there are people striving for everyone to get suffrage.



But at least it doesn't pretend to be one like the US whose 2000 elections were a complete farce. Talk about the wealthy corporate thugs stealing the government.



wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[LarreeMP3]

...how many times did you vote in the last election?







And for the record... IF there was voter fraud in the last presidential election the world would have seen the biggest government investigation and legal TV show EVER because that's just the way we are here in the USA. Get this straight. PRESIDENT Bush won the last election and he is the President of the United States.

If the fine citizens of Tennessee would have voted for him he would be president right now. I would have to assume that the people of Tennessee know Gore (politically) better than anyone else in the USA. And they didn't want him to be president. And THAT is a FACT!

[LarreeMP3]

But...how many times did you vote in your last election?

[debbie mannas]

if you tell us:



Do you mind that Bush lied to you? He lied to the world and took your country to a bogus war...



And you're still voting for him?



Read my post on "Cheap Shots" to avoid the real issues...



You've been avoiding that question for this entire post.
