There is an interesting mechanism that I have heard some people make mention of over the years. It's kinda like 'if you want it so much that you will sacrifice your honor, integrity, and morals to get it, you will NEVER get it because you are sacrificing your honor, integrity, and morals.
The moment Al sued his own people when they decided to not do a recount, I knew he had stepped over that line. The result of his dementia was that Bush attorneys were defending Democrats in a suit brought by Gore! Katherine Harris' attorney, Mr. Klock, is a Democrat...so it turns out that he is defending a Republican who is involved peripherally in a legal suit brought against other Democrats by the Democratic candidate for president.
It's too convoluted to be understood unless you base it all on the presumption that Al Gore will do literally anything to get things to come out the way he wants. And I personally don't want that kind of person to be calling the shots for me. (And I mean "shots" literally.)
I wish the Democrats would put Warren Christopher back on TV to explain Gore's plan for the coming days.
Here's the statement I believe he should make:
It would be unfortunate for Mr. Gore if, after the law was followed and President-elect Bush moves into to the White House, the ballots that were rejected by the counting machines because they did not meet the requirements for a valid vote in three heavily Democratic counties in a state where the popular vote in the entire state did not go our way were to be examined by hand by people who applied some new criteria to them which was designed to divine the intention of the voters who failed to actually vote properly and submit valid votes in the first place, and those new votes our people found where there were no votes before were enough to show that had the rules been different at the time of the election, and if we had a partial, unfair, biased, more subjective, and less accurate recount of some ballots, Al might eventually win the state maybe if we keep adding votes using the new rules until we finally get one more vote than President-elect Bush had in the first place, and if that we can pull that off, we could then claim that President-elect Bush would be illegitimate. |
