Mock World Vote
beaverbrother writes "As an experiment, a group of engineers from around the world created us-election.com. People over 18 from around the world can vote on the site. Its amazing the difference between U.S. viewpoint and world viewpoint. Kerry leads on the site overwhelmingly, while Bush is ahead in the U.S."
We want what is best for us. That, according to the common polls right now, is viewed as Bush. The rest of the world wants what is best for them. They want the hand outs which are going away under Bush, but is perceived to continue under Kerry as he is viewed as more socialist than Bush. People are voting for their self-interest.

the clearly biased BBC
If you bothered to spend any time examining BBC editorial policy their right wing bias would become obvious (especialy now that the BBC is getting ready to sell to a Big Media corporation).
Observe their playing puppet for fascist mouthpieces. Observe their aggressive, derogatory 'interviews' with anyone to the left of Hitler. Observe the lack of WMD in Iraq (including any 45 minute ready-bake-nukes). Observe the viscious spiral that is now Iraq (how many dead and wounded, how many billions stolen, how many war crimes committed, how many Generals now admit the mistakes). Observe the corporate cheerleading.
Is your problem with the BBC really that they manage to let a little truth leak out to the sheeple once in a while?
How do you feel about Bush draft dodging? How do you feel about Bush lying his way into conquest, at the cost of many lives? How do you feel about Bush being so incredibly fiscally inept? How do you feel about Bush being a cheerleader in high school, growing up as an elite North Eastener, posing cowboy, and finally revealing Republicans for the immoral, heretical, sleezebags that they are?
Return those 40 pieces of gold, embrace truth.
As opposed to living IN the US and getting your news from the clearly biased Fox News. (Remember when Hannity got caught editing transcripts of interviews to change what a person said?)

I write in my journal
Wow! It's a game of "How do you feel?" I can contribute to that!
How do you feel about the fact that Bush's education improvements in Texas were at least partly Fraud?
How do you feel about George W. Bush holding hands in public with Saudi Arabia's "Prince Bandar", especially since al Qaeda's prime complaint is that the U.S. government is interfering with Saudi politics, and the U.S. government is, in fact, doing that, partly through this man the Bush family calls "Bandar Bush"? (See the network TV footage shown in the movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" for the hand holding.)
How do you feel about the fact that the U.S. government has engaged in 24 wars since WW2? The U.S. government seems to create fear to get support from the people, so rich people can profit from violence.
How do you feel about the fact that Bush and Cheney are the most arrested U.S. leaders in history? Bush says he has been arrested 3 times, once for the very serious crime of driving while drunk. Cheney has been arrested at least twice, both times for driving while drunk:
George W. Bush DUI, 1st record of arrest
George W. Bush DUI, 2nd record of arrest
Dick Cheney DUI, record of 1st arrest
Dick Cheney DUI, record of 2nd arrest
DUI means "Driving Under the Influence" of alcohol. A DUI is a conviction for a very serious crime, a crime that endangers everyone on the road, a crime that often kills people. A DUI conviction means that the driver felt such a strong need to be drunk that he or she was willing to take a chance of murder.
How do you feel about the fact that family life is so stressful in the U.S. that children turn to drugs to try to cope:
"The daughter of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested...
George W. Bush's daughters seem to be imitating their alcoholic father. The BBC article, Alcohol sentence for Bush daughter, says that "Barbara and Jenna Bush were both charged." Ask yourself, why do these teenage women feel they need a drug like alcohol so badly that they are willing to break the law?
