U.S. LOOKS TO IMPROVE IMAGE ABROAD
WASHINGTON (AP)--The White House is raising the profile of a little-known office meant to polish America's image abroad and rebuild ties with allies alienated by Bush administration policies. The Office of Global Communications has existed for months, quietly working with foreign news media outlets to get the American message out. The office was an outgrowth of an earlier administration effort to build public support overseas for the war on terrorism. But a series of administration decisions before and after the Sept. 11 attacks brought increasingly sharp criticism, even from some allies, spurring the administration to give new emphasis to the office.

Arrogant, stupid white men

I voted for Nader in the last election as well. Here is my reason...

I didn't like Gore.
I didn't like Bush.
I knew nothing about Ralph OR the Green Party.

I wanted to vote. I knew Ralph wouldn't win. But, I also knew that if the Green party got at least 5% of the votes in the election that they would be allowed equal federal funding as the democrats and republicans in the next election. I figured that nothing would be better for anybody than to have more choices at election time. Being able to choose between Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and RC Cola is a hell of a lot better than only being able to choose between Coke and Pepsi. So, I guess I had a political agenda of my own. But, alas, the Green party only got like 3% of votes or something.

The American people are stupid as a whole (you, me, and blu are exempt). Most never even considered voting for Nader because the newspaper coverage, debates, tv coverage, etc. was all only about Bush vs. Gore. Most people never think outside the lines. That's why country music is so popular in its current ugly state.

I think a lot of idiots were scared of "throwing their vote away". As if the electoral process wasn't based on that. pff.

My whole family laid into my sister when she said she voted for Bush, even my conservative parents. That made me happy. :)

I still like Gore. I can't help it.

Ok, Jill. I still had this reply to one of my posts in my inbox. I clicked on the link to the original post, and ended up reading everything that you and mrsassypants had to say to each other. All I can say is damn....very interesting reading. Kind of leads up to that point where you mentioned him directly in one of your journal entries later on.

But, one question, is there a website that you know of off the top of your head that has to do with volunteering for polling places? (I know I could easily look it up, but just thinking that maybe you could rattle one off).

I knew Ralph had no chance, but I was rooting for the Green Party to get funding as well. It's pretty scary that they couldn't even get 5%. So much for the American public getting fed up with the status quo.

That's why country music is so popular in its current ugly state.

>>And it's popular at the state fairs, too. *shudder*
