Will international support mean kiss of death for Kerry?

Er, "Herald".

The polls had it neck and neck between Jeb and the demonrat opponent (blocked out his name) in Florida. Jeb won by a landslide. It was all BS from MSM.

Oops, I forgot Miranda! I love reading Miranda.

The real reason the MSM are shilling for Kerry's anti-american agenda is that they believe in the internationalist/communist cause wholeheartedly. And our good buddies in France and Germany are behind that movement now that the Soviet Union is no more.

My friends I tell you - listening to the agitated and tortured shrillness at my local bar last night was really an eye opener. These are not confident libs, these are desperate people. I just smiled into my vodka all night long.

I was talking recently to an Auzzie friend I work with and he was home in Perth for the elections.
He told me that a lot of the vote for Howard was to also show support for America and the war on terrorism.
You wouldn't know it from the press, but we have a lot of friends in Australia.

I believe that that is mostly true,except that I would right off the bat make an exception in the case of France's government(not its people or media,I don't know enough about that to say).The French leadership is as nationalistic,in my opinion,as any "jingoist" American,they just use popular opinion to cover it with a veil of "internationalism". They pine for France's glory days-as shown by France's Chirac requesting Communist China's cooperation as a "balance" to US power. They don't care who they sleep with,as long as they get paid well.

I agree with that,as shown by the election results there.I imagine that their voices are muzzled in the media,as are conservative voices here.Supporters of the WOT and the government are naturally not going to be the ones out holding nostalgic protests and getting facetime in the media,and even if they were,they're not going to get the same coverage from an antipathetic media.

Russians and Israelis supported Bush in the poll.

Notice these are the only two countries which are also victims of Islamofacism. I also doubt that the Australians really belong on the list since they just reelected John Howard. The Japanese overwhelmingly favored Bush when he ran against Gore, as he was perceived as the candidate of Communist China. Drops in Bush favorability ratings in Japan can be largely, if not entirely, 24/7 Bush bashing by our mainstream media from which they get their news. The Sankei Shimbun group, which is one of the few with the ambition to send their own reporters to America to do their own stories coincidently paints the most favorable picture of the American President. The rest are content to send fluff reporters to regurgitate the views of CNN, Reuters, etc.
