Go up one level in this thread


I think the situation is very funny.

I heard something fuuny from one of the US senators. He said that maybe they
should bring in Jimmy Carter with election delegates from all these third world
countries to solve the election problems.

Cause for people who do not know, when there are other countries who seem to
have trouble with the democratic process, they bring in Former President Jimmy
Carter with US and other first world nation delegates to solve the election
problems. So now we will put the shoe on the other foot.

We have people in power to stop the counting process major players in the Bush
campaigne. We have people saying that hand counting is wrong because they think
that three people looking at a voting paper cannot tell if there is a hole
punched through a slot. We have votes changing everyday, cause the machines use
to count cannot seem to count right.

Seems like a country that portrays itself as the best in the world continues to
make a joke out of itself in so many areas. And if I hear one more time that
they are deciding the leader of the free world then I am going to scream.

No wonder so many countries are begining to dislike the US. The arrogance of the
two candidates and the instability of this election result will only make things
worse.

For God sake, these people cannot even finish an election, I think it just shows
what most of us already knew about the US. "Let take everything to the Courts"

I found it very funny watching my pay TV coverage and having CNN annouce the
winner, then changing to Fox News annoucing they were the first to say bush is
the winner, the BBC, then all the other news channels, one jumps in, they all
followed.

Next we will have them sueing each other for individual votes. Maybe by the time
the next elections come around they will have decided a new funny man for the US
President. Quite frankly I doubt many coutries have much respect for the US.
Like most coutries we only pander to anyone other coutry for finaicial reasons.

Most of the time we do respect the people of the country, but not the
governments. And I would hazard to say the US government is one of the least
respected in the world. I would not trust them for any money in the world.

Doesn't the CIA run the US these days, they started the Vietman war, I doubt any
of the presidents have any real power.
