So in questions about American Politics I see people from outside the U.S. answer. Its getting rather annoying for them to be throwing their $.02 in seeing has how they can not vote and dont live here.....if you can not vote for an American President then stop trying to tell others how to vote...I think we can make up our own minds w/out the outsiders giving us their opinions. Which in many ways is usually skewed......Anyone else agree?
 
Most Canucks and Brits really feel they should be allowed to vote in our president I feel as you and have really have had a gut full of them
Never discuss history with any of them they have twisted it and turned it around Annoying little SO B's
 
Its kinda double edged because on the one side you can think 'oh, they're unbiased so their opinions can help us see things more clearly.' But then its like they're only hearing what their media feeds them about us, which is more than likely bad considering foreign opinion of the u.s. so I really don't know. They shouldn't. Tell us who to vote for though. We're the ones who have to live with our politicians, not them.
 
I really don't mind them putting thier two cents in. Remember, Americas economy, military, etc affect people on a daily basis. No othe counties actions affect people worldwide to such a degree.

But when it comes down to it, It's the AMERICAN voter that chooses the president.
 
Outside opinion is by far the least biased and as such the most accurate (well, you do get exceptions). I don't like politics in general, so I don't have anything special again the US government, but I really do hate all governments. The one is more corrupt than the other. Quite sad, really.
 
Rex as much as i understand your frustration in the end what happens in the States has a knock on effect on us all, sometimes its nice to take all opinions into account before coming to a conclusion
 
It's sad for those people because they are giving opinions only based on what the media portrays, and we all know the media loves to look at the bad side of things often. They lead to distorted views.
 
It seems as though we as Americans are certainly in the habit of discussing the politics of other countries and trying to influence some of them based on our prejudices and opinions about how they should do things in other countries. If other countries seek to influence Americans, we should not be especially surprised.
 
Everyone has the right to express his or her opinion and everyone has a duty to weigh those opinions against your own and against the validity of their argument. You obviously think that non-American's don't give good opinions about who you should vote for president, so the simple answer is,DON'T LISTEN. As for me, sometimes getting an outside opinion is quite valuable so keep on shouting, rest of the world, I may or may not listen, but you have the right to speak as much as this questioner has the right to ignore your argument.
 
no i don't mind them , i like the foreign news for getting a fresh perspective.

but i do object to the foreign contributions, too bad the politicians from both parties don't feel that way
