Actually, you're right. I don't think what happened in Florida was fair. Bush got screwed by Gore's slick lawyers out of nearly 1400 votes. He won the state of Florida by a much wider margin then was shown in the end.
How many military overseas votes were tossed out because of technicalities. Punch card voters had rules, but when they couldn't follow them, we were supposed to weep and cry for months while we counted scratches, dimples, one corner, two corner, whatever it took to help Whopper Al. The very same canvassing board members who for a decade were not accepting dimpled and hanging one corner chads, TOTALLY CHANGED THE WAY VOTES WERE COUNTED, in order to help Whopper Al. The extremely partisan FLSC completely rewrote the law (something they were never asked to adjudicate), in order to give Whopper Al and his team more time to invent votes.
Everything Democrats asked for, Democrats got. They controlled the court, they controlled the canvassing boards, and they controlled the media spin. In the end, they failed, because they lacked the management talent necessary to accomplish the tasks they fought so hard to get. And more importantly, because providence stepped in, in order to put the greatest nation on earth back in alignment with her principles of fairness and decency.
I am proud George Bush fought (and is still fighting) these despicable lawyers to the end. Many wanted him to give up early on. But his team stayed the course, just like they stayed the course during the election when times got tough. "Character matters", and George Bush demonstrated the character necessary to be Commander in Chief, and our next President.
Al Gore has only demonstrated what a sore loser and lier he truly is. Attacking our fighting men and women voters in far off places around the world, was the most vile thing I have ever seen done by a potential Commander in Chief. He can't lead, because he has NO credibility!
None whatsoever.... |
