Hickory, this is the real world, grown ups have to play by the rules. Gore lost the machine count, period. The machine count was recounted, thats it. Its over, I can handle that.
If your really concerned, you can spend the next fours years fixing the voting system. Look I am not so stupid, or nieve not to think that a whole lot of shoving and pushing wasn't going on, when both sides thought no one was looking.
Thats life, that type of weakness and dishonesty will always be with us. I'm far from perferct, how about you.
On that day Bush won the machine counted vote, the vote was recounted and Bush one, end of story.
Its an election, but its a race, and by the rules Bush won, with out winning the national popular vote.
We live in a republic, the electoral colledge is part of the balance of power aspects inherit to the constitution. Remeber I voted for Gore.
This is about accepting the rules, and living with them. |
