What if the whole world could vote?
(Excerpt) Read more at economist.com ...
It's only a matter of time...
Last time I checked, Canada had zero Electoral College votes.
For that matter, if the rest of the world wants to vote in American elections, why shouldn’t Americans be able to vote in foreign elections as well?
Russia?
Korea?
Pakistan?
Mexico, maybe?
Well they would all vote for their favorites
Castro
Ahmadinejad
Marx types
Lenin types
Stalin types
Saul Alinsky types
Chavez
Are they willing to give up their sons and daughters for US military duty plus the treasure to support the DOD budget?
Naw they would vote to dissolve our military
then they would takeover the USA
and we would all be refugees here
if they let us live
The Bible does not have good things to say about the New World Order.
Who gives a s##t!! I’m tired of hearing about the rest of the world and their worthless, weak, brain washed opinion.
“For that matter, if the rest of the world wants to vote in American elections, why shouldnt Americans be able to vote in foreign elections as well?”
I think the presumption is America being the empire and everybody else being underneath, like states. So it would be an imperial election so to speak.
I used to read The Economist every single week for years. Then they started bashing Israel, and then America. Then I stopped cold. This reminds me why I should not miss it.
The Left would love to have the the UN & the World Court deciding our elections. The rationale is that what goes on in the US affects the whole world, so they need a say. Of course, that assumes that the rest of the world always has the right answer. The reason America is America and the much of the rest of the world is mired in the muck is evidence that we should use them as a reverse barometer.
“It’s only a matter of time... “
Sadly I think you are right. After failing getting the UN as the World Government. They will turn their attention to getting countries representation in the US Federal Government.
This poll is a joke and should be treated as such. Anybody want to have a little subversive fun?
I think possibly we should bypass such crap as adding our 2 bits to their final tally and go make a submission to their “add a comment” section.
But let’s have some fun with it by inbedding a piece of code, thereby making it obvious only to FReeps that the comment is from one of our own.
For example the code could be: “More Cow Bell”
Comment as you wish, rail against or play the part of an economist lemming, but have those three words in your comment line.
You score points for creativity.
heck,
you have to submit e-mail account to comment.
i should have forseen that and don’t really feel like giving these folks my particulars.
let me know if anyone has an account and they make a post.
this poll is a joke.
No one ever seems to care who Americans prefer in international elections. Is it coming down to this? Is this the back up if Obama loses - well he would have won if a. Americans weren’t racist and b. the whole world could have voted. Why must we exclude all these voters??? Shame on America for wanting AMERICANS to elect the AMERICAN President./s
