GUEST,Larry K BS: Does the US bother about UK elections? (110* d) RE: BS: Does the US bother about UK elections? 04 Nov 04


The Druge Report shows pictures of the British Press slamming the American people. I think one of them says "How can 55 million people be idiots" or something like that.

I can't recall a US newspaper ever commenting like that on a British or Canadian election.   I can't recall an organized campaign for people in the USA to write to people in Britain or Canada and tell them who to vote for.

I think countries should stay out of other countries elections.   I don't like it when Carville or anyone else is sent to other countries to help defeat a candidate.   

Only a handful of people in America even know who the prime minister of Canada is.   Why should they care about Canadian elections if they don't even know who wins.    I think the amount of money spent in this election was about the size of the Canadian GNP.   In South Dakota I think they spent about $700 per voter on the Senate race.
