<ot>Hi Steve - thx for the information. As I ve said time and again, I am not rooting for either of them. I even respect everyone's preference here. If one likes Gov Bush, fine with me. If one dislikes VP Gore, fine with me too. Maybe your point on the difference between Tx and Fl is correct, or maybe not. It is also irrelevant. If they need the court to be the referee, that's fine with me too.
My real point is that both camps are making political gambles with some truth mixed in. What I find interesting is that the amateur spin docs keep trying to make some sort of moral high ground/low ground dichatomy here, some sort of a us-good-them-bad mentality. If we do something, we are the bearer of integrity. If they do something, they are the thief who wants to steal the election. So happened Sec Baker making a flipflop on the court issue and the recount issue, so that is quite apparent to me.
You can accuse me of being cynical, but I am sorry to say, this is really political warfare. I mean, look, yesterday was Veteran's Day, I don't see them pause for a moment to praise the real heroes of this country. Instead, it is me-me-me. If you want to respect someone, respect the veterans in some homeless shelter or those who have to visit VA hospitals daily for their ailments they acquired in the field.
Sorry for the outburst, but this is getting to be very silly
best, Bosco |
