I never wanted access in the first place
Mind you, I’m not bothered in the slightest that I can’t access Bush’s website, I’ve never until tonight tried to access it before and I suspect I never will again (but being the good reporter I am, I have just viewed the site via proxy). Why the Bush camp decided to ban overseas visitors from accessing the site I don’t know (could be protection against spammers, a chintzy way to save on bandwidth charges) but I can’t help feel that someone needs to tell those yahoos “Don’t flatter yourself.”
The rest of the world, which if it could would surely kick Dubya’s ass back to Crawford, can hardly be trying to beat down down the door to this poor excuse for propaganda, so really this only hurts Americans abroad. But then again, if you are so misguided as to believe you can find anything truly informative in Bush’s site, or for that matter, John Kerry’s or Ralph Nader’s, then perhaps you deserve to have your access blocked. Seek alternative sources folks!

Yeah, I hope you sent in your proxy vote.
I mailed mine in a couple weeks ago. The entire process was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

You might want to head over to http://www.georgewbush.org as it is far more intertaining than the offical site. I also reccomend http://www.thewhitehouse.org and their brilliant collection of posters.

use one of those anonymizer sites, e.g.

Have you voted already? Or rather, are you able to, via mail/embassy..?
