Latin America Has Had Enough of Bush

"No More Bush": it has become a slogan echoed with increasing frequency, on signs and banners carried by protesters and painted on walls throughout Latin America.

<snip>

Since Bush took office in 2001, the proportion of people with negative opinions towards the United States in Latin America and the Caribbean has doubled, according to surveys carried out by Latinobarometro, a Chile-based firm.

2. this is a salient point that most mainstreamers are missing
Right now, pretty much the entire world is pissed off at us, and that's putting it mildly. This country has committed an atrocious 'sin' by illegally invading Iraq, and has broken international law and committed war crimes, to boot.

The rest of the world knows this, but much of the population of the US seems blissfully unware of this critical point.

Reelecting * is a mandate on his policies and doctrine. It will send a message to the world that the US supports the corrupt regimes tactics and barbarianism.

Watch for our loss of allies and friends to become much more dire if we have to endure another four years of thuggery.

3. Poor Latin America: The Busheviks will be turning their eye down there
in a Right-Wing Daeth Squad way very soon.

After all, many of the freshly minted Latin American democracies such as Brazil and Venezuela have better voting systems than Imperial Amerika.

Of course, the Imperial Family doesn't want any parts of THAT (trustworthy voting) and thus they cannot permit nations such as that to reside too close to a Totalitarian Tyranny (though still Kinder and Genlter for the moment).

Thus, any fresh democracy that Old America helped start down in Latin America during the 90s must be undermined and destroyed.
