PARIS One would think it was their leader being elected - and many Europeans believe it is, in a way. In a tremendous show of interest unseen in previous U.S. presidential campaigns, Europeans on both sides of the Channel have been riveted by the coming American vote, obsessing about the future of the United States as if it were their own.
.....Judging from opinion polls, media reports and conversation on this side of the Atlantic, the overwhelming sentiment on what would be bad for Europe is another four years with President George W. Bush. In Britain, France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands, Europeans appear to be united by an overwhelming antipathy toward Bush.
"He has the ability to provoke incredible animosity," said Alain Frachon, a senior editor at Le Monde, one of several French newspapers running extensive coverage of the American campaign. ....
..."There's just something about the president that grates on the foreign viewer - it just doesn't play well here. I cannot remember an issue that has ever aroused such intense interest."
European media are sending correspondents all over the United States in an effort to delve into the American psyche.
"We want to understand why so many people are still on Bush's side; it's a kind of mystery to us," said Peter Frey, Berlin bureau chief for ZDF television in Germany. "We are asking the American people, 'Why are you voting for Bush?' We want to understand why he has this support."....

Oh thats funny, its like reading DUh
Yup, we Bushies get up in the mornin', put our two feets on the ground, scratch our asses and think about killin' some terrists'. Yup.
Here's why we're voting for Bush, Eurowusses:
He will stand for our country. He will NOT ask what you think. He will NOT decline to act without your approval.
We are, after all, electing him President of THE UNITED STATES. Not chief of Europe's police squad.
This is our guy.
And he certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye while his whole continent is eaten from within by militant Islam.
it's as if you pulled your comment right out of my brain
European LIBERALS think they're so cerebral.
Answer: Because Bush is not a J.F-en Lapdog. Because Bush wants America to be INDEPENDENT and strong, unlike the bozo Kerry. Because democrats obstruct governance based on the U.S. Constitution. Because Kerry is a practiced prevaricator. End of story.
Did it hurt?
LOL
It is their leader being elected. It is the United States which will have to bail out the fairy cowards of France the next time they get in a dust up with Morrocco or Egypt or whoever wants to kick their sorry behinds around so maybe they should pay some attention. They might learn something about being a man from Bush and about being a French fraud from Kerry.
"We want to understand why so many people are still on Bush's side; it's a kind of mystery to us,"
Hey Europe, do yourselves a favor and don't bother trying to figure it out. It's beyond your grasp. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Sure, it's a stupid question.....and he'd never understand it if someone gave him the answer.....but I'd be happy to spend several days trying to explain it to him because then I'd know he wasn't spending the time designing a new and improved "Jew Oven" or some stupid sh!t like that.
You just KNOW some of the SOBs will be flying over here to vote.
On the reverse side, I sometimes, briefly, wonder what in the Euro-scum psyche causes them to elect people like Chirac and Schroeder. But at the same time, I really don't give a rat's behind.
Too bad they are FAR from it....
"You just KNOW some of the SOBs will be flying over here to vote."
Now we know what all those extra voter registrations are for in Ohio.,.Now all we have to do is close the airports.
The answer is simple. George W Bush likes America better than he likes Europe. So do we.
OTOH, Kerry wants Europe to like him & that seems more important to him than anything.
