80% of the world wants Bush to lose

The Guardian newspaper, together with 9 other newspapers representing nations across the globe, has conducted a massive worldwide poll to assert public feelings towards Bush and his Republican government.

The results are conclusive: 80% of people want Bush to lose. Amongst the nations polled only Israel (shock horror!) and Russia said they favoured Bush over Kerry.

The full survey and further info

More proof, if anyone needed any, that George Wanker and his neo-con chums must be the single most hated, dangerous and distrusted US government in history.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    The thing is though, do the Americans even care?

    Roughly half the country would. My nation has become a house divided against itself thanks to the neocons and their lying media mouthpieces.

    From some of the comments made in the debates, at least, the second debate, they do care. The world is supposed to love america, and when ten major nations turn around and tell them to shove it, it comes as a shock.

    Re: 80% of the world wants Bush to lose

    Can the results of this survey really be of any surprise? President Bush has done so much to alienate his supporters in the world. Most of the EU countries can't stand him, for a start. I do question however how different John Kerry would be. The USA is pretty divided itself, and that is ultimately the only result that matters.

    he is hardly a great alternative.

    What does this poll show that is new to us?
    Absolutley nothing.
    All it is trying to say is look America (people of America), the world hates Bush so don't vote him in.

    Let the Americans decide, not us!
    I think most people would be happy to let the Americans decide if it weren't for:

    a) The last vestiges of free press and unbiased information have truly been wiped out from the US and those US citizens who do not check out foreign press will have no access to anything resembling the truth about the true nature of their government

    b) Unlike most other nations in the world which tend to mind their own businesses, the Republican Party in the US has the most aggressive, interfering and dangerous foreign policy on the planet. The sad fact is the outcome of the US elections will have an effect on billions of people- especially those who might find themselves the victims of the next US war of aggression.


    Can we have a poll on whether we liked Saddam Hussien or not?)
    What the flying fuck has that got to do with anything? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    So he never changes, powerful like a locomotive, will smash anything in it's path to the ground but you're buggered if you want to steer.

    Stable like Bush isn't necessarily a good thing.

    Well I can't vote anyway so it won't make a difference. I don't think Kerry is going to be as wreckless and a liar like Bush is. I've said it before and i'll say it again, I wish George W would die.

    Kerry would not have gone to Iraq.

    That is a big difference, going to Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism and more to do with oil and finishing "daddy's work" in getting rid of saddam

    Are you 14 years old, mate? If not, please try backing up your arguments with fact.

    Please tell me how their policies are the same?

    Kerry supports greater state intervention. He advocates abolishing the tax cuts Bush implemented for the highest earners and extending the number of people entitled to reduced cost health care. Under Bush 5 million people have lost their healthcare insurance and Kerry wants to reinstate that as well as windening access.

    On the environment Kerry seems more committed to reducing pollution - Bush won't even sign the Kyoto agreement. I'm not suggesting Kerry will, but he isn't from an 'oil tycoon' background.

    We certainly know what you and your European freinds would vote for.

    Food - oil... catch my drift?
    I repeat, what the fuck does that has to do with anything? Or to be more precise, with the issue at hand, which is the US election?

    In this you are partially right. There is not a lot of difference politically between the two. But there are differences nonetheless. And the main point is that to the best of everyone's knowledge Kerry is not a semi-literate, mad, fundamentalist, warmongering, murdering, lying, cheating scumbag who makes the world a more dangerous place.

    That alone is more than sufficient for wanting him to win- or rather, for wanting Bush to lose.

    Unlike you and Donald Rumsfeld presumably?

    Explain to me again why it is perfectly okay to be friends with people like Saddam Hussein and sell them WMDs one minute, and to wage illegal wars to remove him from power the next minute please...

    None of the countries in which the poll took place were Third World countries though. I don't understand what you are getting at when you say this.

    To me, Kerry is the lesser of two evils, rather than a good condidate.

    What I got from the debates, and what I got from the BBC synopsis are two very different things.

    When listening to Kerry, he sounds like a breath of fresh air, but the BBC have lead me to believe that he REALLY isn't that different.

    But he is obviously more intelligent, so maybe that works in his favour.

    Nader's the man, apparently.

    Give me a breat man! looooool

    No I'm not. If anything, I'm saying that Kerry is a lying twat for saying one thing and meaning another. Of course, that is assuming that what is on the BBC website is taken from his manifesto, or whether they have drawn up a synopsis from various things he has said.

    No I'm not saying that and I'm not sure how I can make it any simpler so that you understand what I am getting at.

    God knows his opinion of it now!

    Nope, Kerry supported that Saddam was a risk, but he wanted the US to go through the UN.
