Europeans may have trouble carving out a common foreign policy, but most agree on one thing: Bush must go. With US elections rapidly approaching, countless Europeans are fervently seeking to sway American voters. But can their efforts really make a difference?
Even in Europe, there is no escaping it. The United States presidential campaign is everywhere. Every tiny change in the polls wins a spot on the evening news and not a day goes by without coverage of the campaign. Academics regularly bash heads over the latest campaign intrigue and a flood of titles critical of Bush and the Iraq war dominate display tables in German bookstores. They are selling briskly.
One trend is clear: Europeans hate President George W. Bush. Moreover, they are appalled that a man many here see as responsible for much of the evil in the world has a good chance of being re-elected to the world's most powerful post next week. Most of all, however, Europeans are frustrated that, no matter how loudly they may groan, they can have no real influence on the outcome on Nov. 2.

I hate Europeans
I wont be surprised to see riots in euroscumland...possible they may attack our embassies...ahhhhhhhhh a snipers dream!
At least the Germans ( and Russians) have the honor of being former enemies, unlike the backstabbing French.
Our communications technology has allowed the spread of dementia, chaos, paranoia, and virulent hatred fueled by the lust to power of arrogant, self-worshipping men to permeate and cover the globe.
This is a historic first.
Self annointed 'elites' are causing the 'masses' to be indoctinated with the propaganda of insanity........"fantasy is fact and reality is an illusion."
In this upside-down world, truth cannot exist and there can be no rational discourse or debate.
Yep, that about sums it up...and if Europeans have a problem with that...sobeit!
Megadittos. LOL.
Sometimes, your enemy can be more trusted than you best friend, at least you know were you enemy stands.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oops, I thought this was a thread about Free Republic's "Real True Only Principled Conservative Patriots".
Beat me by 15 seconds. Congrats.
”...International Policy Attitudes, challenger John Kerry was the clear first choice in almost every European country.
Correction: Men like John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and others have spent years apologizing for America for what ever reason – Europeans love to lord it over the up-start, too successful – too rich – not intellectual enough – rough on the edge United States. BUT they love our money.
Frankly, I don’t give a flying fig what the Europeans think about my country and President Bush; that Cowboy suits us just fine!
I am reminded that in the early 1930's, women in London found it fashionable to wear swastika bracelet charms.
I am reminded that Chamberlain danced the Munich Waltz and threw the Czechs to the wolves.
I am reminded that everything honorable in France died in the trenches of WW1.
Old Europe can go pound sand. But PLEASE continue to publicly endorse Kerry.
Go to hell, Old Europe.
EU, PU.
The Euro-trash socialists can kiss my red, white and blue butt.
No tongue, please.
Sorry about that...hey, read that Teresa had mentioned you by name the other day.
She said that Neanderthal(s) were the only ones that didn't agree with her husband!
And why do these socialist slackers with zero values or historical perspective even care? So we can become like them? There is a reason why we are wealthiest and most powerful nation...capitalism. It drives us to work hard, to develop new technologies and innovations, and to better control our own destiny. We believe in religion...tolerance...values...not because we are self righteous fanatics, but because it is the strength of any society. If one value is devalued, what's to keep the next one from suffering the same fate? Just because their past is stained by the blood of tyrants and greed, doesnt make religion a venemous institution. Bad people do bad things, but don't blame faith itself. If they want to live in a world where they believe their government owes them, that a secular society is a progressive society, and hard work cuts into drinking guiness three times a day at the local pub, then learn to accept the hangover that comes with complacency and consternation. In the meantime, don't piss down our back and tell us it's raining. We have a life to live and we prefer to live it with the sun on our face!
I hope I'm not the only one.
You need to factor in how the educational system has been perverted.
