I can only assume that Ima has never actually travelled beyond the borders of your narrow minded little state. Politicians in the US take mudslinging to the extreme – in the UK, political parties are not allowed to run negative advertising, and political debate is not allowed to be personal.
Yes, some of us in the UK would like to see Obama re-elected – a recent poll showed that, of those of us who are aware that there is a presidential election coming up, Obama was favoured by 10 to 1.We would rather have a sensible, slightly liberal president who actually likes and respects foreign countries than a right-wing, religious, xenophobic nut like Romney.
Contrary to what some of you Americans seem to believe, the vast majority of people in Britain don’t care who wins your local election.
I suppose they remember Mitt saying the UK couldn’t manage an Olympics. Wrong as he always is, but of course we American don’t remember anything that happened more then week ago. I guess that is our democracy in action?
I guess the author and ewalnut have not looked at a ballot in a long time because in Texas, for the last two Presidential elections, there have been Green and Libertarian candidates on the ballot in just about every office, including the Presidency.
Even though this strip is a rerun from 2008, it’s just as relevant today. God help us.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷In my state, we can opt for paper ballots instead of the Diebold Switcheroo Machines. Is that true of other states?
If people want to vote for a particular person or party, let them. It’s called democracy and that never makes people happy. When we vote on the POLICIES (I am not a US citizen, so I speak in respect of my own country as well) we will get a better result.

If Romney wins, we can all look forward to another war between the United States and England.
