> I do need to "chill out", but not till I feel the job is done. No need to, as far as Clinton goes, in two months he's gone and just goes on to collect hundreds of thousands for speeches and at least several million dollars for his "memoirs" >But I would say that, by tonight, Clinton/Gore will be for the same fork test you apply to a turkey. They are done. It will be a new day. I still think that Gore will win. But I have done my best in MIchigan, I voted for Ralph because "Bush and Gore make me wanna Ralph"<g> I assume you voted for Georgie

BINGO! George W. pulled it off.... Whew! I got off my bed at 5 o'clock this morning to watch CNN as I heard on our local radio network that we were in a tight game. Goddamit! Those f*** Bilderbergers have spared no dirty trick to rig the polls --I mean, just think of their "Florida thimblerig"! The Bilderberg-controlled media claimed that Gore bagged Florida while voters in other states had still to cast their ballots --DISGUSTING!! Shame on those PIGS!!! Ah, anyway! Over here the whole European Goregeoisie is crying, sniveling and groaning around --Hahahahaha! Europeans have called George W. a moron, an idiot, a hillbilly, and a trigger-happy executioner (cf Texas' execution record). Smug Europeans sneered at George W. Bush whom they view as a disaster area in foreign politics --ROFL! Because he allegedly couldn't tell Chechnya from Patagonia or didn't know who was the king of Bophutatswana, George W. is tagged a clown! Add to that his 1976 DUI offense and you get a boozer into the bargain! However, the truth is that Euro-politicos are, on average, no more in the know than George W. when it comes to foreign issues: as former Governor of Texas, GW Bush does know his Mexican onions just like President Chirac knows what's what in Morocco and West/Central Africa, or just like Belgium's Foreign Minister Louis Michel knows who's who in former Zaire, Rwanda, and Burundi.... Yet, Euro smartasses with all their geopolitical sapience screwed around more often than not --remember: >>President-elect Jacques Chirac's first move was to resume nuclear testing in the Pacific --igniting anti-frog protests throughout the region, from Japan to New Zealand! >>More recently, upon a recent tour in Israel, French PM Lionel Jospin called Lebanese Hizbollah a "terrorist outfit". Not only was he stoned by outraged Palestinians, but his diplomatic faux pas led Pres. J. Chirac to publicly disapprove him --further undermining what's left of France's credibility in the Middle East.... Tell me about diplomatic gaffes!! Now for Jews and Israel... Boy, how pissed off the Jews are! LOL! But hey, they've only themselves to blame!! After all, Bibi didn't have to wreck the moral stature of Clinton in the first place! The Lewinsky sugar-trap was a brilliant Mossad ploy indeed --until it backfired.... And now Barak has only two months to learn how to dance on the Republican music whereas Arafat, to be sure, gave a sigh of relief.... Champagne! Gus.

The Bilderbergers haven't thrown in the towel yet.... Wednesday November 8 1:16 AM ET Networks Berated for Early Florida Projection WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans berated major U.S. television networks on Tuesday for jumping the gun and first projecting that Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) would win Florida's pivotal 25 electoral votes and then withdrawing that forecast. ``You all called Florida before Florida even closed its polls,'' Karl Rove, chief strategist for Republican nominee George W. Bush (news - web sites) complained on CNN. ``I just think this whole issue of calling states on the basis of exit polling is something that needs to be taken another serious look at, just like the whole issue of running all these polls in the midst of the campaign,'' he said. Former Republican Secretary of Education William Bennett suggested the early call could have affected voting elsewhere. ``You don't call a state like Florida, as big and critical as Florida, and then take it back off the board. This affects how people think, it takes the air out of people's enthusiasm,'' Bennett told CNN. [snip] dailynews.yahoo.com GIVE IT UP, AL!!! DON'T ADD RIDICULE TO (YOUR FLORIDA) INSULT (TO DEMOCRACY)!!

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the end of the Cold War more countries than ever have accepted the democratic process People now can vote and decide who will be leading them by voting. They have looked up to the United States, the longest working democracy, to teach them how to do things properly! Ex-President Jimmy Carter has travelled world-wide for the past 10 years to oversee the elections. United States has helped the world but is helpless to help herself!!! What is going on in Florida is "CAOS" it is no credit to the reputation of American democracy!! Both side are running to courts, county courts, district court, and supreme court, and ask for and rulings that will be over-ruled, ignored, or interpreted to fit the either-side! Judges, rightfully, are reluctant to pass judgement, as it is the people who must decide not the courts!! Both side are running to courts and rulings are either being over-ruled, ignored, or interpreted to fit the either-side! I believe that this will end with a national crisis, and a "recession" in the year 2001, if not solved efficently and fairly. Maybe time has come to call on Jimmy Carter? Kind regards ALex
