But have they paid their bill for the voter list yet? "For the most part, I don't think people are too impressed," Rosicka said. "Clark County people are fiercely independent. Pretty sharp. They figured out al-G without reading a full issue. Marie Lewis, a Manchester, England, resident, said she got the name and address of a Clark County voter, wrote a letter and sent it via air mail Wednesday.

#5 Fantastic story. I found it absolutley hilarious. Almost as funny as Boris Johnson having to apologise to the entire city of Liverpool for implying they're all scallies wallowing in their own victimhood.... |

#4 I stumbled across the guardian letter writing campaign while browsing cnn.com and Iâm hugely embarrassed by it. The whole concept is ill thought out, inflammatory and offensive to our closest allies. Offensive toward a nation of people who are possibly the most hospitable and friendly a Brit is likely to visit. Alas âGuardian readersâ are far from representative of most British people. âThe Guardian Readerâ - due to its vehemently leftwing partisan reporting â has become an epithet that characterises our own Looney left. Woolly jumper wearing aging hippies and rebellious middle-class students who enjoy their daily dose of establishment bashing, self-righteous reporting over a vegan breakfast. If itâs any consolation we have to put up with these morons daily. |

#3 Note to the Gaurdian for future American electoral missions. 1. Above all Americans want to be left alone to mind our own affairs. 2. Nothing pisses Americans off more than someone who ignores the above and invites themselves into our affairs. 3. Coming in a close second in pissing Americans off, are people who assume that we need help with our votes or in appreciating our impact on the world etc etc. We vote our own minds thank you and so far we are doing a pretty damn good job of it. 4. In the future the Gaurdian should contemplate the possibility that just maybe the reason why their little colonies have so greatly surpassed the mother land is precisely because of all the above. You'd think that 228 years might be enough time to understand where they went wrong the first time but apparently not! |

#1 "Retired Wittenberg University political science professor Richard Flickinger said people should view the letters as an expression of concern from a group of people rather than that group trying to sway the vote." Spare me the bullshit, professor... |
