that bush2004 website is cool!!! One finger up to bush!!! love it...

he's even paranoid about the web... but most of the American's outside the US have had ballots for about 2 weeks!!! and John F. Kerry is first on the WA ballot!!!

Bush/Cheney wer first on my Maryland ballot. Ralph Nader was on it too, along with Democrat, Green and Constitution Party candidates. Maryland is a one-party state, though

George W. Bush - Errors: 287
apparently isn't so aware of anything
-----------------------------------

ok now WHO is surprised?

Both aren't perfect, but who's more compatible with the world? And I didn't even have to fiddle with voting machines!
