The Guardian, a Brit newspaper, is actually organizing a campaign to persuade people in Ohio to vote for Kerry.
What the heck are they thinking? Don't they know it's wrong for one country to go around and try to force regime change or influence democratic elections in another country? Geez! And I mean, it's not like anything an American president has done has had any impact on Britain. Nope. I don't see where they think they have any stake whatsoever in this election. Pansy tea-sippers indeed!
Unfortunately, I am guessing their well-intentioned efforts will only cause more harm than good, especially in a state like Ohio.
Sure, Britain's not as bad as those froo-froo Frenchies by gawd. I mean, at least the Brits helped us out in Iraq with actual troops. Republicans in Congress didn't have to take the bold move of renaming English muffins something like liberty muffins.
But there are surely a handful of people who would vote for, say, a shrub if some danged foreigner tried tellin' them not to, just to show 'em they can't influence our vote. And of course this plays right into the Republican's name calling about Kerry being a lackey to foreign interests, with his global test and sissy UN lovin' ways.
I imagine that for Democrats in Ohio, the phrase "with friends like that, who needs enemies" probably comes to mind.
