Oh, stop with the "a good defense is a strong offense"......if there was any stealing of the election, you'd have to talk to Bush and his brother, not Gore. Your comments would be funny if the issue weren't so serious.
Oh please. Gore conceded the election to Bush. Gore took back that concession.
Of course, Gore took back his concession once he learned how screwed up and dishonest the electoral system was in FL. He would have been a fool not to.
Dems were giving cigarettes for votes up north.
That's interesting......do you remember where? I would like to know in which precincts there are people willing to take cigarettes for their vote. I want to pass it on to 60 minutes. It should make for a clever newscast.
In fact its so clever a tactic, I suspect it may well have had a Rep. origin.
The polls were forced to remain open in heavy Dem territory past closing some places.
Yeah, so what........it doesn't make what went on in Fl any better. Besides, in FL it wasn't one or two polls but rather the majority that were fukked up.
The networks announced Gore the winner of FL while the polls were still open in heavy Rep territory in FL.
Yeah, they made a mistake because the rural panhandle of FL is in a different time zone. Now how many people do you think were at home ready to go out and vote, but then heard the media forecast and stayed home instead? Most rural areas vote early, not late.
You mention that Gore won the popular vote, but you fail to mention that it has been proven that Bush would have won FL if the full state-wide recount (that the Dems were pushing for so heavily) had happened.
Proven? If I remember correctly, it was K.Harris or someone else who reached that conclusion. And I still can't figure out how they got to that conclusion. So excuse me if I am not convinced.
Since the electorial college was part of the rules before the start, it's clear that, even with the hypothetical recounting, Bush was the clear winner.
Its clear that Bush won the electoral college but it doesn't change the fact that he did not get the popular vote.......which is what I was discussing with Ten.
BTW, Alec Baldwin should keep his word and move out of the counrty. Anybody that says Henry Hyde should be "stoned" for supporting Clinton's impeachment has no place in a sensible discussion. It's amazing what the raving liberal segment of the Dems can say and get away with.
And the rants by some of the conservative right are in good taste? I don't think so. And they certainly get away with it.....ad nauseum. Frankly, I don't mind people with different opinions but I get annoyed when those people think they're right all the time, yell it so loudly you can't hear yourself think, and let their bias influence their observations. I find it to be niggardly behavior.
Besides, Baldwin may be obnoxiously outspoken but so are the Rush Limbaughs, the Buchanans and who's that crazy like the devil reverend that speaks for you all. I'll take Baldwin any day over those clowns.
