<<It also permits me to make a jocular remark stating that their political affiliation makes them IMPARTIAL! (What Luck!)>> Sorry I wasn't quite able to distinguish between sarcasm and jocular......<sigh>... limitations of cyberspace. Anyways my point was that there is nothing illegal about what is going on to date. I have no doubt that there is bias by counters on both sides ........But my point is two fold. One only a small percentage would try to exercise it. And the safe guards in place are more than adequate <<Are you intentionally ignoring or evading the proposition being raised by myself and others, that the greatest problem with the recounting is that it ignores most of the citizens in Florida and virtually all the citizens of the U.S., whose votes were not counted by the machine? >> Well I shall forgive you here as you are new to this thread. But I have said repeatedly that selective manual counting in FLA is a disgrace! And that Gore,were he to win would have no legitimacy without manual counting all of FLA. But of course in Gore's defense he has said that he would agree to state wide manual counting . A proposition that was rejected by Baker. With regards to other states.If the vote is close enough and the out come would determine the Presidency I certainly think that they should be done .Otherwise from a practical point of view I see no reason for it. Do I think that the media projected Fla for Gore deliberately to aid Gore?....... himmmmm..... No, nada, absolutely not ,no way. They made fools of themselves...... Nor am I sure that it did help Gore any more than Bush. And my recollection was the polls called Fla. a toss up. No offense but I think that the right wing conspiracy theories regarding a left wing media border on the paranoid. Having said that if an investigation would make a substantial number of Americans feel better.... go for it. <<the infamous telemarketing campaign >> Never heard of it. My opinions are of course always 100% correct...;^ ) ......Nonetheless I welcome sincere questions [and your's always are].... and even accusations. If I can't answer them and defend my beliefs I have no business posting them.
