How Bizarre!

Back in November, I posted a bit of satire about a website, Who Would the World Elect, which invited people from all over the world to express their opinion on who should be the next president of the United States. It was a good idea, and while the results would be completely unimportant, they might have been interesting, except the paultards discovered it and spammed it all to hell.
Now, The Urban Grind Blog tells us about uber-liberal euro-weenies who have taken the concept to heart and demand the right to vote in US elections:
American presidential elections are not “home affairs.” American decisions have repercussions all over the globe. The American mortgage crisis affects banks in Europe. The insatiable American demand for oil makes the Arabian sheiks rich. The American refusal to care for the environment causes the North Pole ice to melt and coastal areas in Asia to flood. A weakened dollar and an immense budget deficit affect the global economy.
Hence, the world should be given the right to vote. Because the current situation is a blatant case of taxation without representation, against which the Americans rebelled in 1776. But of course the world will not be allowed to vote. The best we can hope for is that the Americans choose a leader who is deeply aware of the U.S.’s responsibility, as a superpower, for the rest of mankind.
I might comment about this, if I could stop laughing long enough to do so.
Maybe later.
William Teach says:
And I thought the DU thread I posted a little while ago featured wacko liberals.
I’m hoping the next leader we elect will tell the rest of the world to grow up, get a job, and respect their betters. Otherwise, they can all f*ck off.
Beth says:
Well, how else are we going to become sufficiently socialist if we don’t open up our elections?
Just like stupid liberals to expect something so mind-bogglingly outrageous.
