Amy, Well, that's possibly how some felt when Bush stole the election from Al Gore.

I'm having trouble figuring out whether you believe this or not, given how tired yet outrageous this accusation is, and given how you aren't the type to toss out flame-bait.


Its not "tired" or "outrageous". Unfortunately, its not legally certifiable either. Only once before have we had a president win the EC and not the popular vote. So its a rare occurrence and a hard pill to swallow for those who were on the winning side of the popular vote. Tie that in with the fact the deciding state had signficant levels of voting fraud; that that same deciding state of 17 million people was won with a paltry 537 votes; that the deciding state is governed by the EC winner's bro and that the party of the EC winner ran to the USSC when the stateside issues in question were not handled to THEIR satisfaction, and you have enough uncertainty to smell up the results and make those results look very questionable.

The entire FLA debacle was handled poorly. Some critical issues were raised that never got addressed and nothing has been done to prevent those issues from coming up in the future. It was so unpleasant, we have gone into a national state of denial over it.

In any case, Gore supporters were left with a very bad taste in their mouths. Adding insult to injury, this presidency has chosen to implement an agenda that is both radical and questionnable. Furthermore, it has not been done with great success.

Consequently, I am surprised that you are annoyed that the results of the 2000 election keep getting raised. I would be surprised if they were not.
