    Clearly he doesn't care about us. :)

    Is it locking out non-US IPs?

    For me it says "Acces denied".

    Maybe he doesn't want to show his lies to rest of the world.

    So what if he is? is this important for any real reason?

    It didn't block me but if it's blocking others...that's strange. I really have no idea what the purpose behind that would be.

    Maybe all those non-US citizens are stealing his bandwidth :p

  • It is no doubt part of a security effort to keep hackers out. There are plenty of far-left leaning foreigners who would love to mess with or take down W’s web page in an effort to bias the election in any way they can ~ just hatefull people.

    But at the same time he is denying access to US citizens in foreign countries. To me this makes him seem paranoid.
  • What’s the saying? “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.”

    That’s not a large percentage of people voting frankly ~ so it’s a risk / reward issue***. Frankly the risk, embarrassment, and damage of someone like ET coming in and attacking his webpage is greater than the risk of alienating citizens living abroad. There is the military ~ but most of them support conservatives with a passion anyway. However, If that’s the spin you want to put on it: That the choices of the people securing his web page makes HIM seem paranoid, so be it.

    ***Also most of the absentee ballots are already in the mail or in the United States.

    You know how pathedic that sounded. It could easyly be somone from the States hacking his site.

    Why isnt John Kerry Worried about people hacking his site

    Edit: It lets me in though.

    heh, go figure it really won't let me in. And technically I'm in US territory.

    Due to the limitations of text, you have to imagine the frilly tuxedo. Sorry.

    And you haven't lived until you've heard his version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." The man goes through about thirty different emotional states in something like ten seconds. Its like a bad High School drama class monologue done on speed.

    Big deal... I sure as hell could care less about some (would-be) politician's website; it's just more of the same meaningless political drivel/propaganda that's been on U.S. TV for the past several months.:rolleyes:

    DoM: What you [I]really[/I] need would involve one of an aircraft carrier's steam catapults, a mattress, and two rolls of duct tape.

    There should be a law against that sort of thing. And what's with the cover art?
