I also used to think that I was an independent but no longer. That's no longer true.

I can't imagine you ever being an independent. You're pretty far left Ted ;)

Maybe I was a political neophyte but the 2000 election was a wakeup call for me. It made me realize how badly conservatives want to win. It made me realize that their vision of this country is not what I was taught growing up.

Funny how you can have a totally reversed version of the 2000 election. Gore is the one who conceded, then took it back, then wanted selected recounts, then ran to the courts etc.

Here's a timeline. Note that several of the counties involved were controlled by democrats, so you can see why they sue.

You will find that Gore's campaign joins the first lawsuit. The Bush side doesn't do anything legal until far down the page.

The sec state (Harris) was totally within her job description to declare when the recounts had to be in (by law). The Dems ran to court to get her job description changed. Good thing they had those activist judges.

It's funny how all these "disenfranchised" voters are only disenfranchised as long as their side needs help. Someone took Jessie Jackson to task on that during the Cali recall. He was whining about all the problems and "irregulararities" etc. and the reporter asked him what he was going to do about it if Davis won. He did his usual "ahh...ahh...ahh", then said "nothing". Figures.
