The Rest of the World Wants Kerry
Pentagram writes "A poll by GlobeScan Inc and the University of Maryland of 34,330 people from 35 countries found almost all of them gave a strong backing to Kerry; less than one in five backed Bush.
Only people from the Phillipines, Poland and Nigeria clearly backed Bush, whereas Norway gave Kerry the strongest backing with 74% to Bush's 7%. The UK, the US's most vocal ally during the Bush-led Iraq invasion, overwhelmingly preferred Kerry at 47% to 16%."
I say we ask Theresa Heinz-Kerry if she thinks John can lick bush!
No Bush and no Dick in '04!
Christ - could you imagine that thrusting away on top of you?
What a disgusting image.
Sure the rest of the world has US interest in mind. I'm sure the first thing that went through the poll respondants mind when polled was "Well, who would best represent the interests of the US people... because that's who I want." Then they go to the store and think to themselves, "What products can I buy to best support US companies?". They go home, flip on the TV and think, "Which show can I watch to best support Hollywood and the US media?". Then they get on their computers and think to themselves, "Which website can I go to to best support the US tech industry."
They think all these things because they really, really have our best interests in mind. That's why they want Kerry.

I'm sure us geeks have an opinion on support from Nigeria.

Hey, those guys know what a strong leader really is:
Philippines: There's nothing like electing a President who committed human rights violations under the Marcos regime.
Poland: Well, you wouldn't think they'd go for invaders, but...
Nigeria: Come for the stonings, stay for the floggings, amputations, and beheadings under Sharia law.
In any event, what does it matter who the "world" would vote for? The only ones that count are the roughly 25% of the population of the U.S. that bother to vote. And Diebold. And the Supreme Court.
Here come da fudge!
Damn it! When I went to search for my pr0n today, Google sent me to /. when all I was searching for was head, bush, and dick!

That's a nice straw man you have there. Shame if anything were to happen to it...

Is sex the only thing that can get you into trouble?
Even sex wouldn't stop Bush. After all, he already fucked the economy, he fucked Iraq, he fucked our international relations, he fucked our intelligence services, he fucked our civil liberties, and he fucked our electoral system. Kinda puts a blowjob from an intern into perspective, doesn't it?
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
It could have been worse. It could have been "illicit pinprick"... or "joyless nookie".
Pretty much right on. I know a lot of people who are voting for Kerry because they don't like Bush, and don't think he's done a good enough job to stay in office. I haven't talked to a lot of people who are not ardent Democrats who think Kerry is a great alternative. His biggest asset is not being Bush.
There was a great Onion headline a while back that said 'Kerry Unveils One Point Plan for a Better America' and it showed a picter of Bush with a circle and slash over it. Priceless.
