According to netcraft http://www.georgewbush.com/ has blocked access from outside the US. Anyone outside the US wanna try and see if you are being blocked. I'm curious.

If it is ..... why ??

[t6hawk]

I'm in Canada. Loads fine here

No problems from Canada. Does that mean I don't have to register as a foreign agent in order to talk about US politics in my own home?

[Krusty]

The netcraft report actually said the 3 outside test servers were in UK, AUS, and Amsterdam ... so maybe Canadians aren't considered foreign agents per se ... just cheap drug pushers

Just as long as you tell yourself your correct location.

But how would you know you were telling you the truth?

It MIGHT not be verifiable, thus not enforceable, in which case the answer might be...

Hmmm...good question. I'll have to think about that one.

Incorrect. Poutine is typically eaten only in Quebec (for the geographically challenged, that's a Canadian province where the majority speak french).

Trust aberdeenwriter for all your factual inaccuracies (not available to Quebec residents).

[y0y0]

Working fine here, so maybe I'm in the US, but maybe I'm in Poland using an anonymous proxy server in the US, like a good foreign agent would.

But this is so fukking pathetic anyway. Is the point of blocking foreign access to the Bush's website meant to stir up American fear of foreigners, or is it so that Bush's nutjobs can post virulent xenophobic crap about how dangerous "Them foreigners" are, or what?

And it's also shooting himself in the foot, as is typical, because Americans overseas can now not view the site, so he loses potential votes.

What a fukking dumbass.

[andi*pandi]

It's a very similar tactic that they used when they had the "print out a campaign poster" section of the website. You had to select the state you were in, and if you selected Massachusetts or some other "libral" state, you weren't allowed to print posters. Which was very silly, a) there are republicans in MA; and b) anyone who wanted to could just select Iowa from the pulldown instead.

Once again confirmed, using the name ain't working but the IP loads just fine (from Denmark)

Perhaps just a DNS entry that somehow hasn't propagated overseas yet. Strange.

Anyway, vote for Kerry, his site uses Apache!

It has to do with certain 'outages'.

Here and here...

October 21, 2004

Web sites for President Bush's campaign and the Republican National Committee suffered outages for several hours on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear whether a systems failure or a hacking attack was to blame. Campaign and committee officials would only say they were investigating.

Protesters often attempt to bring down sites by overwhelming them with so much bogus traffic that legitimate visitors could not get through. The fact that two sites suffered outages simultaneously suggests such a coordinated attack.

But analysts with AlertSite and Keynote say other evidence suggests a technical problem.

Roopak Patel, senior Internet analyst for Keynote, said many of the errors related to the Domain Name System, the computers that translate a domain name into a site's actual numeric address. Those errors often occur when incorrect or incomplete information is loaded into the system.

'Better' is not required in this instance, my friend. Canada is a 'poutine eater's haven' as the United States is a 'polygamist haven'. Quebec is as broadly representative as Utah in these disparate yet analogous contexts.

While Quebec tends to have a more diverse amount of poutine, you can get it anywhere in Ontario and people love it here. It makes for such an excellent snack or quick meal.

Do you have a particular gravy of preference?



EDIT: I don't eat pork and recently stopped eating beef too (I fear that CJD might prematurely impair my intellectual function) would chicken or turkey gravy work?

Can you specify which one when you order it at a restaurant?

I go to Kingston Ontario a couple of times a month, and they have that foul dish every where. Even the McDonalds on Princess St. has it. Talk about a big heaping plate of heart attack! Just nasty, I say.

Oh, Saad, you provoke nothing but yawns. Although your efforts to be provocative do deserve an honorable mention. Just like your website.

Hey, I couldn't put something like that together, so good for you!

BTW, the point of the thread was made. It was (finally) understood by those who wanted to understand and those who had/have sufficient mental horsepower.

My referring to it is one thing. Your references to it simply amounts to a non issue because YOU MISS THE MEANING.

I never said or supported that which you are railing against. Therefore, you are trying to argue a point I never tried to make.
Therefore, you're looking to debate an issue which no one supports.

Get it?

There MAY be things you can dig up that would be suitable for rehashing. But this ain't it, pal.

Hey, why don't you re-hash that GREAT thread of yours accusing white women of being the greatest abortionists and while you're at it, leave me out of it...ok?

Because there's nothing but seasoned professionals working for the Bush campaign ... and they have to make sure that evil terrorist hackers can't make a mess of Dubya's site.

• Because hackers would never ... ever think to attack the domains' IP address or even make a complex substitution within the address field of their web browser.

Professionals, the whole lot of them.

You sound like some sort of genetic cross between Bush and Kerry. Your sentences are incoherent and you can't stop talking. For instance you replied to a post asking why anyone would want to go to that site with some crap about poutine. Do you have ADD or something?

Furthermore, while poutine is available throughout most of Canada at Burger King it is in fact a Quebec (eastern canada) dish. Most people here do not love it, like it, or even find it mildly edible. Thus it is a regional dish not a national one.

Please, please stop being a little ****.
