Liberal Europeans Demand Right to Vote in U.S. Elections

A quote from the editorial in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard, 3 January 2008
American presidential elections are not “home affairs.” American decisions have repercussions all over the globe. The American mortgage crisis affects banks in Europe. The insatiable American demand for oil makes the Arabian sheiks rich. The American refusal to care for the environment causes the North Pole ice to melt and coastal areas in Asia to flood. A weakened dollar and an immense budget deficit affect the global economy.
Hence, the world should be given the right to vote. Because the current situation is a blatant case of taxation without representation, against which the Americans rebelled in 1776. But of course the world will not be allowed to vote. The best we can hope for is that the Americans choose a leader who is deeply aware of the U.S.’s responsibility, as a superpower, for the rest of mankind.
The international community was able to limit America’s hegemony somewhat through organisations for international consultation, agreements and the corresponding judicial apparatus. But that system is in crisis, partly through the actions of the current American president.
A poll taken on December 20 shows Mike Huckabee leading in South Carolina with 28% to Willard Romneys 18%.

That is a very good thing, and Iowa helps tremendously.
One other question, Chaim: Fred Thompson (ys"vz) came in third in Iowa. Although it is obvious to all with a brain that this moribund corpse should attract more flies than voters, is it a done deal that his candidacy is over?
In my opinion, Thompson has no chance whatsoever. He is the laziest candidate I have ever seen. He got 13% of the vote in Iowa because he was supported by Congressman Steven King, who is very popular. But in New Hampshire, he will do very poorly.I sure hope this loser is toast. This pig, who has the audacity to boast that he wouldn't release the tzaddik Jonathan Pollard, only deserves to win an advanced, inoperable case of colorectal cancer.
Also, Thompson raised enough money to run advertising and have a staff in Iowa. But now he's broke.
Now some liberals in Europe demand the right to vote in the USA-elections as well!The Europeans have lost their minds if they think for a minute Americans for one scond would allow them to vote in U.S. elections

Hanoi John was in no way charismatic. He looks like Lurch from the Addams Family.Yes, but the media idolizes him and he is able to draw big support from both parties. There isn't a lot of organized opposition to him from any quarters.

The Republicans are far from perfect as we all know, but still in the end I believe we must support them over any Democratic nominee, whehter it be Clinton or worse yet Obama G-d forbid. This would be a disaster for Israel and the American economy.
Of course I support Huckabee over McCain.
One thing is for sure we must do what we have to defeat the Democrats. The Reps are not good, the Dems are certified nightmares.
How about stopping Obama!! I don't want a muslim in the white house.
BEWARE THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE!
Christians believe in the concept of an Antichrist, who, according to the Christian scriptures (the book of Revelation), will preside over a worldwide totalitarian government (like a worldwide Roman empire) that seeks to completely annihilate Christendom and Israel. Although Jews of course would not hold to such a concept, all of us do acknowledge that a one-world movement (the NWO) is taking place right before our eyes.
The Antichrist (capital A, for we believe that there are several smaller "antichrists" already sowing their poison, in preparation for the big one) will be an immensely popular, charismatic, persuasive figure who is able to unite all political backgrounds in support (sound anything like Hanoi John)?
That would be a nightmare, the first muSSlim president! >:(
All the U.S. presidents have always been WASP, but a muSSlim or Black president would definitely bring diversity to the U.S. ;D >:(
If we had a righteous right-wing Jewish president that would be the best imo O0
I trust Chaim's intuition. Among other predictions, he was also right regarding Obama's chances.
However, I have a feeling that Huckabee will win in New Hampshire as well because of two reasons:
1) He won dramatically in Iowa;
2) His speech at the end was amazing;
3) McCain performed very badly in Iowa and may have already created the sense of an irrecoverable loser;
4) Because of his charisma, Huckabee has a greater potential to save America from the prospect of having a Black and in addition to that Muslim president.
I know the strategy to stop McCain. The task is to figure out how to carry it out.
Sometime around last January or February, McCain when on the Letterman or Leno show to informally declare his candidacy for the presidency. While they were talking, the host (I forget which show--it was one of these two) said something about McCain's age. He intended it to be a joke. He didn't realize that it worried McCain.
McCain will turn 72 before the GOP convention. No president has been that age during the first year of their first term.
With the Congress, age doesn't appear to be as important with elections. In the Senate for example, Ted Kennedy will be turning 76; Robert Byrd is 90. There are probably some more in congress who are in that age range. However, with the presidency, people usually don't want to elect a president to a first term who is in the 70's.
In last night's FoxNews date, Chris Wallace mentioned at one point whether McCain would promise to, if elected, to not run for a 2nd term. McCain was pissed off that his age was mentioned, he knows it hurts him in this election. He tried to say how he doesn't want to make any declarations about it since he wouldn't want to be perceived by people as a "lame duck" during his first term.
So in conclusion, McCain's supporters need to be reminded about his age during the primaries, before it's too late and he ends up as the GOP nominee. How to do this, I'm not sure.

McCain is 72 !
Although I don't think his age is the major problem with him, I will take your advice. I will post on New Hampshire craigslist:
John McCain: Just because he's got one foot in the grave doesn't mean he has to dig America's.
