Expatica ^ | September 6, 2004

Isn't this illegal?

Last I checked, attempting to influence the politics of another nation, while still a private citizen of the United States is illegal.. Unless issued proper credentials by our government.

What she is doing constitutes treason. It must run in the family.

" ... Kerry, who has worked overseas as a teacher for many years ... "

Dubya didn't have much of a chance for the teachers' vote. Expats who are teachers are probably just as liberal as they are stateside. No loss.

That's funny...Kerry needs more votes so where does he send his daughter...to the Netherlands for pete's sake....Yeah like the Dutch will provide the swing votes necessary for Kerry to win!

[Fintan]

Who won the Netherlands in the last election?

 

[mdmathis6]

Oops my mistake, she was talking to expatriates....(kicks own self in shin)

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....It must run in the family.

What runs in this family is a pro-European, anti-American streak that runs a mile wide.

[Indie]

If Diana had her way, the people of Europe would be able to cast valid votes for our President...and a few "moderate" republicRats like Powell as well.

"I think John Kerry would be a different type of leader, willing to work with other countries to defeat the terrorists cede American sovereignty to the U.N., initiate surrender talks with al Queda and ask for France's approval of any American action no matter how small and inconsequential," she said.

They are trying to win the expat vote. Nonmilitary citizens living overseas. How desperate do you have to be? We can't have more than a million or so, excluding military. Maybe trying to get them to register in swing states...

"Democrats Abroad in Israel are holding a meeting on Monday evening... I'd certainly be interested in hearing who they're endorsing. If they endorse Kerry, God help Israel.

Diana Kerry is John's sister. His sisters have been to Canada and Mexico to dig up votes. Desperation shows.

Check out the John F. Kerry Timeline. Email it to your friends.

So it wasn't Amsterdam, NY?

[Beckwith]

I only go to Amsterdam for two things, getting laid and/or getting stoned.

The guys she's talking to will fill out their absentee ballots, but they'll forget to mail them.

[John Thornton]

What are the rules for ex-pats voting while overseas? Is it just based on your word that you are an American citizen? If so, I can see millions of supposed French "ex-pats" flooding the ballot box for Kerry.

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! Proper editing and condensening is essential to the understanding of written communication.

You did Good.

They are trying to win the expat vote.

No biggie.

The expat vote breaks the same way overseas as it would if the expats were back in the U.S. Teachers, NGOs, journos, and similar types will go for Kerry; engineers, businessmen, etc. will go for Bush (not to mention the military vote, which isn't really "expat").

This AOKerry group is preaching to the converted, they just want to make sure everyone gets their absentee ballot sent on time.

[angkor]

Is it just based on your word that you are an American citizen?

You have to be properly registered in your home state to use an absentee ballot.

[RichInOC]

Well, at least she's looking in the right place. Given how many "coffeehouses" there are in Amsterdam, that ought to be a target-rich environment for the left-wing stoner vote.

I only go to Amsterdam for two things, getting laid and/or getting stoned. You have to go all the way to Amsterdam for that?
