Bush re-election site closed to commie lovin' "ferners"

Surfers outside the US have been unable to visit the official re-election site of President George W Bush.
The blocking of browsers sited outside the US began in the early hours of Monday morning.

Since then people outside the US trying to browse the site get a message saying they are not authorised to view it.

The blocking does not appear to be due to an attack by vandals or malicious hackers, but as a result of a policy decision by the Bush camp.

1. now this must be one more example of the bush paranoia and the extent to
which the paranoia has to keep him in a bubble. Perhaps he doesn't want "ferners" to see how ignorant he is. or, he doesn't want ferners who can use planes to see where his campaign has him headed to, or ... just fear of the jaws in the deep blue sea has him curtailing what his internets can do for or against him.

and by the way ... i read somewhere that after he became senator, prescott bush was deadly afraid that someone was "going to get him" and for that reason kept a gun inside his desk drawer at all times.

"aha, aha, they are coming to take them away"!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Today he came here to Youngstown Oh.
He never left the airport....It was a beautiful day but he held his rally in a hanger with hundreds of invited supporters, leaving thousands of commoners outside on the tarmac.

The TV news said "Tickets and photo ID required".

"I'm sorry Mr.Bin Laden, you're not on the list".
