Yeah.. The fun thing is that only half of America wants Bush as the world leader. I found a site (can't recall the name though...) where people from the whole world could vote for whom they wanted to be president, people from over 190 countries voted a 73% (something like that, can't recall the exact figure) win for Kerry...

Widar,

Well the thing is, there is one thing we non-amicans are forgetting. We don't want Bush, but I have no idea if we really want Kerry.

Thats the whole problem in this world. Yes we are free to choose are leaders, but if you can choose out of a bunch of bad choices, do we really choose?

We face that here in Holland aswell, we have azillion parties to choose from, but when you look at the main big parties, they all basically revolve around doing things the same way, a radical change that might be needed will never get voted into office because either no party exists that wants it, or nobody would vote for such a party because people are afraid of change...

I voted for the lesser of two evils... atleast thats how I like to look @ it.

And hey, whenever something different pops up in this country, some sad fucker takes the task of assasinating the person behind it upon him.
Southpark had a cool show relating to this problem (last month I think), it was an analogy of the 2004 elections where Stan doesnt want to choose between 2 new mascots (giant douche-bag and turd sandwich).

wasn´t there a guy called ralf nader? would be nice to see his party getting bigger. it´s all about balance ... same for cars and politics

I saw an interview on the TV the other day about a new democratic senator who was originally from Kenia or something. That guy seemed to be pretty ok.

Regarding the "2 assholes to choose from"-problem, better to give Kerry a chance. He aint as financaly involved in the whole Bin Laden / Iraq / Afghanistan things as old W.

Well, IMO is Ralph Nader better than the other two, but Nader was the cause of George W. winning the previous elections. Besides that, Nader is extreme left in the opinion of both Democrats and Republicans.
