Do you all really care?

This is not meant sracastically, so please just answer honestly... Does anyone who posts on this site actually care who wins the American Presidential Election? I know that we Americans tend to overestimate our importance to the rest of the world, so I'm just curious if you all truly think it makes one bit of difference in your lives who wins the election? And if so , why?

I care a bit cos it will affect Britain but tbh I try to stay out of it, every time I poke my nose in, I hear something that makes my blood pressure rise

as long as whoever runs the most powerful country in the world doesn't think hes invincible

I do care, because I wouldn't put it past Bush to use nuclear weapons, or to otherwise trigger a nuclear war. I'd rather not get third degree burns/radiation sickness/melted eyeballs/blast wave to the face, thanks.

There's enough chance of a nuclear war happening by accident, let's not have someone adding to the chances of one happening any other way.

yes. it does affect us over hear. Bush's helping make the world world less stable every day.

To answer your question, yes. The reason for that is that George Bush is the biggest threat to world peace since the Cold War and no-one wants to see him re-elected.

truth be told....i ain't that bothered. I mean george had 4 years in power and the world is still standing so as far as im concerned...it's all good.

My one thing is though, it seems to be a "cool" trend as in not to like george bush. What the fuck is with that? Nearly every muscian or band you read about in metal hammer or ker-pap has something bad to say about him.

Rome wasnt built in a day, and it didn't collapse in one either. Another term for Bush et al would probably mean some sort of disaster (Another war, depression etc).

I don't care cause your crazy gun mad, lifes a computer games country is going to implode taking half the population of the planet with it sooner or later, it's just a matter of time, it's like what happens to a body when the mind goes

It definitely does affect the whole world as the U.S.A is obviously a huge power in the global scheme of things.

I can't find the link just now but I remember reading a very good article on Kerry and whether it'd be just as bad or even worse if he was elected and how he was basically being seen as a good candidate for the sole reason that he 'wasn't Bush'.

Only time will tell whether the country made the right choice I guess.

I care.

because its something we should care about.

not just because it affects us ( which it really does, alot. )

But because it affects americans, who are fellow citizens on this crazy world we live on.
