Maybe they could recruit Jim McGreevey's first wife to help. She lives in Canada, too.

Why don't we just register all of Canada to vote also?? They want Bush out so register them all and be done with it!! Everyone gets to vote but our military who had their votes X'ed out in 2000 by Gore and his bully boys.

>The career school teacher, who has lived in Tehran, Paris and Germany, later addressed about 100 U.S. citizens in a somewhat raucous gathering at the Good Earth Cafe.I'm absolutely against the Bush administration and the dishonesty with which they deal with America," said John Wade, a Calgary real estate agent who is originally from Little Rock, Ark. < How come these folks dont live in America if they want to have a say in America. Did we bust up Iraq? Maybe so we also got rid of Saddam for them. We dont owe them anything , but Yes: we will try to help them if theyw ill cooperate a bit. As for the Dishonsety of the Bush administration I guess this guy relly believe Santa Kerry sat on the River in Cambodia Christmas of 1968 for Richard Nixon. How many lies does Kerry have to tell before Richard (dick)Weeds like this get the message.

Don't you have to have an American address to vote?

These people make no sense to me. At all.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

They will always be ignorant. They choose to be.

Heck, I'm convinced that Petah Jennings only recently became a US citizen despite decades in America so that he could vote against President Bush. Of course he says that he still retains his Canadian citizenship as well.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I wish he'd go back and let the border hit him in the butt.

[Modernman]

Don't you have to have an American address to vote?

No. Otherwise, all our overseas military would not be able to vote.

[T Minus Four]

He has a sister? Oh cool, bring her out and let's have a look. Should be plenty of fodder there!

[GoLightly]

Heard on a local radio station yesterday, some woman has lived in Great Britain & hasn't voted in an American election since 1956, but she's planning to vote this election.

While we're at it, why don't we just register every country in the world to vote in our elections. After all, they don't want us poking our nose in their business, but they want a say in who our leader is.

[EllaMinnow]

Don't the military voters have at least a base address? You can't vote in a congressional race without a district, or a senatorial race without a state - do they make special ex-pat ballots with only the presidential race on them?

Here's a picture of John Kerry with his sister Diana.

Thanks.


About what I expected.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I think the issue here was registering Americans in various overseas countries to vote. And there are organizations both Democrat and Republican, who do this.

Every American adult stationed overseas for work, military, studies or military, has the right to vote (absentee).

In fact, I hope there is a 100% voter turnout in the US military, for example...that will represent hundreds of thousands of votes against Kerry, many in swing states.

This would probably explain that this is not as nefarious as one would think, and a lot better than I could:

The whackjobs will do anything to defeat Bush. I pray they lose.

Deserters for Kerry.
