To: James F. Hopkins who wrote (802 ) 11/10/2000 11:31:15 AM From: John Read Replies (2) | Respond to of 2063 OT regarding the election: Point 1: The liberal media stands to monetarily gain from a final election decision being delayed as long as possible, and to that end, they will continue to exacerbate the situation by fanning the flames of those who feel they were somehow wronged. Point 2: Those inept people in Palm Beach County, Florida who claim they can't do something as simple as vote for the candidate of their choice are quite pathetic. Upon examination of the facts, one finds Palm Beach County, Florida is heavily Democratic. Liberal Democrats control the politics in that county, a liberal Democratic supervisor oversees the election process in that county, a Liberal Democrat designed the voting ballot, more Liberal Democrats reviewed and approved the voting ballot, a liberal newspaper published it for all Liberal Democrats in the county to see, and finally, Liberal Democrats mailed an example with instructions out to Liberal Democrat voters in the county before the election. The Liberal Democrats are beyond shameful for crying "foul" now after the fact. They shot themselves in their own feet there, and they have only themselves to blame. Too bad for the Liberal Democrats. Gore lost, and Bush's victory margin in Florida will only widen once the military votes from overseas are counted. The Liberal Democrats simply can't keep voting until they like the results. It doesn't work that way. Bush won 60% of the states, and, the only fact that matters according the constitution, is that he won the electoral college.
