Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America
acey72 writes "The BBC News are
reporting that George W Bush's re-election website (don't bother if you aren't in the USA) is blocked to people accessing it from outside the USA. Netcraft spotted the change on Monday, and have a report on the matter. Oh well, at least John Kerry's site still works for us outlanders." At least some Canadians can access the Bush campaign site, but Europeans cannot (without going through a U.S. proxy).
For those of us with non-US IPs, and who still have some hankering to actually visit the site, then Proxify will let you view. Be warned though, it shows NSFW text ads as well.
Though I've never felt the need to visit Bush's re-election website, it seems to be quite available through Coral even for us europeans. Dog slow, though.
Quality, performance, value; you get only two, and you don't always get to pick.
I live in Guam, and I can't access the site either. It's a US territory, so the citizens aren't allowed to vote in presidential elections, but it's still part of the US and, as it happens, I'm from VA so I'm eligible to vote. Although by absentee ballot wouldn't be counted until after the results are tallied anyway, so what's the point.
Not that I'd vote for Bush. Or Kerry. May they both Rot in Peace.
Well, the hackers will never think of using this one https://georgewbush.com/
perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10);'
They're actually only blocking georgewbush.com, not the IP 65.172.163.222 which the domainname points to.
So http://65.172.163.222 works fine abroad.
Silly ISP.

They think Kerry is terrible, that he has never done a single useful thing in his political career, which he built entirely on 4 months of military service, etc.
That's funny, especially since Kerry enlisted in the Navy in 1966 and wasn't discharged until 1970. He spent four months in Vietnam, from 11/68 to 4/69 as part of that duty.
Here's a simplified timeline if you're interested in more.
You're special forces then? That's great! I just love your olympics!
Those Iraqis?
How about these Iraqis? Is their life better since being "liberated"? Do they count?
Speak truth to power.
A while back, I ran a Nessus Scan on both Kerry and Bush's campaign sites.
Results are here.

sig?

And that guy Bin Laden. It turns out that Bush isn't really that concerned about him.

That's how you get tough on terrorism, Bush-style.
Your sig is incorrect, sir. Here is the full quote, not truncated by the Associated Press:
So, you see, Iran's government simply considers America "the Great Satan" no matter who wins on November 2. I suggest you change your sig so you look less misinformed in the future.

That last one really get me. How can you even watch Fox News and come up with that?
Oh yeah, there's an interview at the end of "To the Point" with the director, Steve Kull.

Show me one case where any freedom of speech, press, or religion was denied in the U.S.
The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
Perhaps you could have phrased your question better?
Irritable, left-wing and possibly humorous bumper stickers and t-shirts
Show me one case where any freedom of speech, press, or religion was denied in the U.S.
Well, American and foreign prisioners are being held at Guantanamo bay without charge or trial. The press are being granted only very limited access to the goings-on there. And one of the persuasion methods being employed there is to prevent detainees from practicing their normal religious duties.
I look at Bush & Cheney and see the epitome of the 'good-ol-boy' network. Back door deals, friends of Enron, Halliburton, & Suadi Arabia.
I find it hard to ignore that the 2 times we've been at war with Iraq, it's been with a Bush in office. The cost is still rising, another 70 billion just been asked for. With this kind of money, we could have searched every inch of Afganistan twice.
As far as taxes go, I have NEVER had a problem paying my taxes when the economy is great, and my paychecks roll in. There are more taxes to COLLECT when more people are working and spending.
Bush should have kept my $300 check. It pales in comparison to the bonus check we get on good years. The year I got a $300 check from Bush, not only did I get no bonus, we had to fire 100 people. It could have been me.
I'm not going to be able to change your mind. So I'll just point out again that I think people see what they want to see. I know during the debates, I sure did. Talked to some Republicans the next day who loved Bush's performance. !!?
Why are there only 19 people folding@home for slashdot?
Instead of the no-brainer www.denver.gov they use www.denvergov.com and www.denvergov.org.
.gov namespace. Denver would have ended up as something like www.denver-co.gov. Or they could have gone with www.ci.denver.co.us.
That's because there are special naming requirements for cities that use the
I can see you've been completely brainwashed by Karl Rove and Fox News. Your above statement is an outright, vicious, republican lie.
They do not drill a hole in the baby's skull. They insert a pair of scissors, then open it to enlarge the hole.
I hope this will teach you not to swallow wingnut propaganda in the future!
Actually is quite well know that Saddam didn't fund or train terrorist, especially not Al-Quada since they were direct enemies.
Syria is another arabic country, a good place to sell stuff if you need some cash to make an escape with.
Isn't it "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" ?
Well, Iran was peaceful until the CIA orchestrated a coup there. Then we propped up saddam and set the two at each other. isn't it great?
Gee I wonder why this is biting us in the ass?
