It's not as if the votes count otherwise.

Still, it's a great way to let the world know about the way elections actually work in the US, and I would note, even Floridians can particpate.

[Dutchgirl]

I think that they want to participate in our government because they don't have the guts to over throw this lot of dull in-bred parasites.

All the Dutch dirty laundry.

[Corporate Law]

I was going to say that they would all write in Slick

[elbucko]

FREEP IT!

A global Electoral Commission will be established to validate the election process and results. It consists of the most experienced managers of national elections.

Well, at least it gives Jimmy Carter something to do.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

If this does'nt show you how desperate the liberals are,nothing will!Scr*w the world!

Electoral oversight?

Iraq, China, Cuba, Zimbabwe, and a host of other nations have PLENTY of election managers with TONS of "hands-on" experience.

"They are hoping to show that voting for Bush is an extremely unfavorable choice among the "world citizens", thereby dissuading the US citizens from voting for Bush, and instead, casting a ballot which better reflects the opinion of the World."

Not bloody likely. It will only tick the majority of Americans off.

[PayrollOffice]

If that's what they think, I KNOW I'm on the right track when I vote for GW AGAIN!

"Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth."

- Carl Sagan

One of the many Saganian quotes that sets my teeth on edge. The man was genuine bovine methane.

[Redcloak]

Whenever I see Carl Sagan's name in print, I have the irresistible urge to say "Billions and Billions".

[Redcloak]

I like the warning for stupid US Democrats...

U.S. Citizens: please note!

Casting your vote on theworldvotes.org does not mean that you have voted officially. We encourage U.S. citizens to cast their vote in their traditional polling station as well.

[Congressman Billybob]

What an incredibly stupid and useless idea. No surprise that it comes from Europe. Also no surprise that the only US organization linked to this is the socialist apologists at MoveOn.com. Salon should write this up in detail. (Salon does still exist?)

Congressman Billybob

Latest column, "In the Justices We Trust?" posted on FR, other publication to come.

[Redcloak]

I just sent 'em a note reading...

"Could you include a special voting option just for US citizens? I was thinking something along the lines of 'Kiss my Yankee ass, you Eurotrash poofters!'. Thanks in advance."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Can you say "Palm Beach"?

I suggest FReepers spread the word in majority-Democrat communities that they can now "VOTE ONLINE at theworldvotes.org!!!".

"Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth." - Carl Sagan

You speak for a backwater mudball? Aside from the fact that earth is the only planet we know of at the moment where we can walk around outside without special gear and is of cosmic unimportance at the moment, questions of ethics are better addressed without inhaling fumes from various noxious mudball weeds.

[Ole Okie]

Can you say "Palm Beach"?

This isn't going to work for a bunch of Floridians.

Ain't no chads, pregnant or otherwise, involved.

[Eighth Square]

Forida my cause problems! we're gonna have to send 'em overseas for specialized training - they gotta get it right this time!

[Madame Dufarge]

Knighthawk, could you just bitch-slap these three for us?

You're closer

Thanks in advance.
