hypocrisy is...

1 - claiming hand counts are no good when you have personally picked up 400 votes by hand counts in 6 Florida counties.
2 - claiming hand counts are no good when you support the system in your own state
3 - campaigning as an advocate for state's rights then running to a federal court when the state courts in Florida interpret Florida law as going against you.
4 - claiming that machine counts are the only way to go when the second machine count resulted in Gore picking up over 900 votes more than he did in the first machine count.
5 - constantly levelling charges of partisanship when the Governor is your brother and the woman who may hold the final decision is your co-chair in Florida and campaigned for you in New Hampshire during the primaries.
6 - constantly using the argument that "it's about the rule of law" when every court decision has gone against you.
7 - I could go on, as could the GWB supporters which brings us to the bottom line...

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF EVERY PERSON WHO SHOWED UP TO VOTE IN FLORIDA ON NOV. 7 HAD THEIR VOTE REGISTERED AS THEY INTENDED THAT AL GORE WOULD HAVE CARRIED THE STATE AND THEREFORE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. GUARANTEED MINIMUM EXTRA VOTES FOR GORE WITH NO SPOILED BALLOTS IS IN THE 20,000 TO 30,000 RANGE. THIS IS STATISTICALLY FACTUAL AND I'LL BE GLAD TO EXPLAIN WHY IF ANYBODY REALLY CARES. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!
