The Guardian sticks its nose across the pond into our midterm elections; (like it worked so well the first time); and tells us dumb 'ol Americans how we ought to be voting:
Americans can do one of two things tomorrow. Either they can re-elect a Republican-controlled Congress, in which case the administration will rightly conclude that it has a mandate to press ahead with its divisive conservative agendas at home and its go-it-alone foreign policies abroad. Or they can vote for a change on Capitol Hill, putting Democrats in charge of the Congress, thus at least forcing the administration to account and even compromise on the domestic and international stages alike. Seen from Washington it is an absolute no-brainer.
The prospect of a politically weakened US administration is not an unmixed blessing [ huh?? - ed.] for the world. But the possibility that Mr Bush might actually receive a vote of confidence from the American public at these elections, which he would be entitled to regard as an endorsement of his policies in Iraq and a thumbs-up for his reactionary policies on climate change and human rights, hardly bears thinking about. Tomorrow is a day for Americans to send their president the very opposite message by voting for the Democrats wherever they can.
As if I needed yet another reason to vote Republican tomorrow....I hasten to remind the Guardian what they were told by irate Americans when they tried to meddle in 'o4:
Furious e-mails have reached the Guardian, such as this one from Texas, stating: "Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions."
Indeed.
