Jim, I honestly believe that George W. Bush does not have the intellectual capacity to run the country. If his last name wasn't Bush, the guy might be an insurance salesman, like Richard on the Rambus thread. Scumbria

Jim, Here is a great article describing Bush hypocrisy: One article describing the Republican thinking appeared in The Boston Herald on Nov. 3. It quoted Republican sources outlining plans to rally public sentiment against Gore’s election if he won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote. “The Bush camp, sources said, would likely challenge the legitimacy of a Gore win, casting it as an affront to the people’s will and branding the Electoral College as an antiquated relic,” said the article by Andrew Miga. The article quoted the Bush adviser as saying: “That’s what America is all about, isn’t it. I’m sure we would make a strong case.” The Nov. 7 election turned out differently, however. Gore appears to be the popular-vote winner by a margin now standing at about 200,000 votes nationwide, while Bush contends that he is the Electoral College winner because he holds a tiny lead in Florida, which would put him over the top in electoral votes. Gone is the Republican talk of challenging the Electoral College as an anti-democratic relic. Gone is the principled stand in defense of the expressed will of the American people. Gone is the outrage over a popular-vote winner – now apparently Al Gore – being “denied the presidency.” Instead, the Bush campaign is denouncing the Gore campaign even for questioning voting irregularities in Florida, though these acknowledged errors likely cost Gore a clear majority in Florida, too. consortiumnews.com Scumbria
