bushgang tries to rig Australian vote

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3802247.stm

US 'meddling in Australian vote'

Labor president Carmen Lawrence said she believed the Bush administration was trying to help conservative Prime Minister John Howard win the election.

-snip-

President Bush has said an Australian withdrawal would be "disastrous".

-snip-

Mr Bush said such action, "would say that the Australian Government doesn't see the hope of a free and democratic society leading to a peaceful world."

-snip-

"I think the president was speaking candidly, he didn't intend to insert himself into your campaign," Mr Powell said.
-snip-
---------------------------------


snake Powell tried smoothing things over with blather.

Labor president Carmen Lawrence also said: "Australians are a proud people and don't much like being told how to conduct themselves by other governments."

stand firm Carmen because if the criminal bushgang gains a toe hold in Australia you can forget democracy

1. In Bush's mind, democracy seems to be only
what he thinks should happen. That is very scary and sad. Can't he see the irony of these types of statemnents? God, I wish our election was this week!

2. Can't have those folks going against the will of the people
and allowing the terrorist to influence elections like they did in Spain, now can we?

"Opposition leader Mark Latham has vowed to pull the 800 troops from
Iraq by Christmas if he wins".
