For me it says "Acces denied".
Maybe he doesn't want to show his lies to rest of the world.

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

[B]So what if he is? is this important for any real reason? [/B][/QUOTE]
Nope but that doesn't make it any less funny.
[B]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. [/B][/QUOTE]
But at the same time he is denying access to US citizens in foreign countries. To me this makes him seem paranoid.
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.
[B]He did it to keep the terrorists at bay, because theres always a terrorist behind every single bush...oh wait! ;) [/B][/QUOTE]
Oh, great. Now no one on this board will [i]ever[/i] trust a girl. ;)

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.

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.
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.
"Let's see just how many times we can make this guy skip across the water...":D :p
