Dutch Group Forms Website to Allow Anyone on the Planet to Vote in 2004 US Elections
The World Votes ^ | August 29, 2003 | nwrep

Posted on 08/29/2003 1:11:51 PM PDT by nwrep

A group of 3 Dutch private citizens has formed an internationalist website called The World Votes to register worldwide choices in the 2004 Presidential Elections.

This is an obvious attempt to highlight the unpopularity of President Bush among the America-hating, envious, statist citizens of the UN-worshipping world. As election day draws closer, expect these clowns to be featured on important news stories worldwide in an effort to influence public opinion in the United States.

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.

Great opportunity to Freep the polls, but expect to be overwhelmed by about 500-1 as election day approaches.

If the day ever came when those incompetent socialist losers were agreeing with my choice for the Presidency, I'd have to re-evaluate my decision.

Many Liberals will think this is a great idea to help setup a one world government. I'm sure many of them would love to run for "King of the World" instead of only President of the U.S.

I can't explain how happy I am not to live in a two bit country that's so insignificant that I wish I could vote in another country's elections.

Pretty pathetic. When is it going to occur to them that what they are doing is a waste of their time? Their silly little votes have no bearing.
