Article..Gore To Sue Any American Who Failed To Vote For Him

Crazy Republican Absolutely Partisan (crAP) Writer

Vice President Al Gore's lawyers said Thursday he will initiate a class action lawsuit, in Federal District Court, against any American who voted for anyone besides himself.

Chris Lehane stated that "Al will not concede defeat in this presidential election, even if he loses". Lehane stressed that the Vice President believed that anyone who voted for Governor Bush was delusional or traitorous, and in the former case could not be held responsible for their actions.

"It's clear that the Republicans will stop at nothing to win this election, including using votes received on November the 7th. What this lawsuit seeks to do, is to sue anyone who voted for Bush on the premise that such a vote denies the right of everyone else to have Al Gore as their president."

Asked if that meant that Gore would not concede even if he lags in votes after certification, Gore campaign spokeswoman Jenny Backus said that was correct.

"We want a full, fair and accurate count, and we will only be satisfied when the will of the people is interpreted to mean that Al Gore is president. The only way left to do that is to file the class action suit," she said.

George W. Bush remains ahead in votes that are certified Sunday night.

The announcement came after the United States Supreme Court struck down the Florida Supreme Court proclamation of Al Gore as Emperor of the United States.

Gore's lawyers objected strongly to the overturning of the Florida Supreme Court proclamation, stating that the United States Supreme Court was "capricious and arbitrary, and quite possibly damaging to American Democracy" when it rescinded the coronation of Al Gore as Emperor.
