One Thousand Reasons

Let's face it, not many of us have much of an interest in politics outside
our own country, but it's astonishing how the forthcoming US election has
galvanised the world's attention. I doubt if any US president in history has
made his country so disliked by the rest of the world, enemies and
(reluctant) friends alike. If the whole world could vote in this election,
Bush wouldn't pick up 5% of the vote. But we can't. Even in so-called
friendly countries, like here in the UK, the only people who have any
respect or admiration for Bush are opportunistic politicians like Blair.
Here are a thousand
reasons why you shouldn't vote for Bush. I'll admit I'm now ashamed to
have voted for Blair in our last election. In November, the world will be
watching, and hoping, that enough Americans who voted for Bush last time are
big enough to realise what a mistake they made too.
