Bush is ahead in the latest polls by quite a bit. I would be suprised if Kerry takes his job. Unfortunately, Kerry's lower IQ is getting him in

# Jesse Ezell said on October 31, 2004 01:54 PM:

a lot of trouble. :-)

Apparently it's for 'Security Reasons' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3961557.stm)
So, can't secure even a website...just fills you with confidence ;-)

I'm not sure that it matters. It's his re-election site. I think most Europeans forget that they're not able to vote in our elections. And I'd like to ask anyone who thinks otherwise the last time I was allowed to vote in an EU election, or a Russian election, etc.

If you want to know abour him, he has another page. It's called www.WhiteHouse.gov.

Yes Robert, kind of like Microsoft asking Sun to appoint their next CEO after Gates. It is just rediculous. The EU sucks big time. Why we would want the people that let the EU run their lives giving us advice on our presidential elections is beyond me.

# Jesse Ezell said on October 31, 2004 05:29 PM:

Or, rather, after that puppet CEO Balmer that does Gate's bidding to be technically correct :-).

I warned abou the troubles you got into ;-)

Now wish you good luck with Robert. Expect being flamed now foolish anti american :-)))

He just forgot that some fellow americans are living abroad !

I welcome people to disagree with my opinions. If people start to fear speaking their mind it is a serious problem and a sign of sickness in a society.

I would not agree with Jesses analogy in ths comment thread, and I find it funny that americans of all people are against openness. I would like to point out that the election of an american president is very much a matter for all people around the world, because it very much affects our lives.

We are entitled to an opinion, and we are definately entitled to insight so that we can form an opinion whether we have a right to vote or not.

Way to go Mads!!! Nice to see you speak up

Same goes for Finland too. I get a 403 from here.

Wouldnt this be the webmaster's and Akamai's fault and not "Mr W Himself"?

You people are just amazing. ANYTHING to get back into the top seat.

A vote for Kerry isn't a vote because you believe in Kerry's policies, because half the time even Kerry doesn't believe in his OWN policies.

People voting for Kerry are only doing it because they HATE W. In contrast, people voting for W are voting because they believe in a man and know what they'll get.

# Lars said on November 1, 2004 04:08 AM:

Well cant really agree with you there. This issue has been all over the press in both Europe and in Australia that the site si blocked from several countries outside the US. I find it a little strange that if it was the webmasters fault that "mr W himself" hasn't orderd it to be fixed...

And what about voting for Kerry because you disagree with how things are run today?? Shouldnt that be a valid reason?

# Daryl said on November 1, 2004 10:24 PM:

Why does it matter to Europeans?

People, Europeans in particular, seem to like to call America arrogant. Perhaps they are ashamed of their own arrogance in allowing tyrants rule rather than take a stand.

As John Kerry put it today, America pushed everyone away from the table at the UN. America didn't push them away. France and Germany skipped out when it came time to pay for the meal, because it's better to coddle a tyrant that serves their own interests than make a stand and help someone. And once again, when it comes to paying the bill, the US gets shafted with the check.

# Greg said on November 2, 2004 01:52 AM:

Not everyone believes that brute force is the right path to take in every case. Also I think what the Europeans means is that it would have been beter if the UN stod togheter behind the iraq thing. And even further...would we americans even care if iraq didnt have oil??
