<<< Ready to go down a really slippery slope? >>> Absolutely! There should be a recount in every state where the results are closer than 1%. There should be additional recounts until the totals converge at a repeatable result.

<<One recount request is perfectly legitimate...But now two? and then lawsuits to folow the second recount?? Or should we recount the second recount to suit Al Gore? Al Gore's carnal lust for power is taking our Country down a very ugly road indeed- for his own personal gain. Shades of Juius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompey at the end of the Roman Republic. And the same goes with all of these staged demonstrations and interviews in Florida. I look back at the 1996 election when Al Gore ordered D. Meisner Head of the INS to rush citizenship papers on over 2,000,000 new citiziens, many of whom had not even yet applied yet for citizenship, and many of whom were convicted felons, just to get them onto the voter roles before that election.>> This is the verbatim sequence of your post that pissed me off, Douglas. One recount request - it was not a request, it was mandated by law. Al Gore is a crook, Al Gore has a lust for power, Al Gore is another Julius Caesar. Your protestation of making an innocent observation is a little lame. Your post was filled with incendiary BS, and I can guarantee you that if I used similar name calling in referring to Mssr. Bush, half the board would be up in arms and sending me private hate mail. I thought my response was rather measured. I don't mind us straying into politics on this board, I just don't need to be served up Rush Limbaugh style vitriol with my corn flakes! Take it to a political thread. I don't stand for the ankle biting name calling on this thread either and I have several posters on ignore as a result. Lets keep to the facts and leave the rhetoric to the politicians that we all despise so dearly <g>. Look at it this way, we all agree that 50% of the country is stupid, so lets build on that <ggg>.
