Bush's status tonight as the certified winner is due to his cronies stating so
So you count the seven Democratic members of the Florida Supreme Court, two of whom were contributors to the Gore campaign but who didn't recuse themselves from hearing a case in which he was a litigant, as Bush "cronies"? Wow.
We will NEVER have a full and accurate count of every single vote in Florida, even if they keep recounting until 2004. Every time you recount, the count will change. If you truly think a Presidential election should not end until every vote has been counted accurately, we will never have another President of the US, and Clinton might as well be appointed Emperor for Life.
Plus, Gore, you will notice, has NOT demanded recounts in the primarily Republican counties. So much for truly wanting every vote counted. What he wants is every vote that might help HIM counted. Notice, for example, that Gore supporters are challenging absentee votes in Seminole where others, not the voters, put their voter numbers on absentee ballot applications. There's no question that the actual voters did the voting, and that they clearly indicated their voter choice. But Gore wants all those votes tossed out. A pretty sad say of saying that every vote should count, eh?
I waver between opinions as to whether your are merely naive or are intentionally hypocritical. |
