I rank the statements like "harm to the country", "do the right thing and step aside" as emotional blackmail at best and pure trash at worst. Amen .. with this situation there is no "high road" for either party to take .. and when either side tries they look ridiculous .. Jim in CT .. @one-for-Bore-and-one-for-Gush.gov

Volusia County is claiming it will probably have the county-wide manual recount completed tomorrow afternoon. Just saw it on CNN.

<< If there is one thing I could pinpoint about the current Republican Party that bothers me more than anything else, it is this: As if Divinely inspired, they have this disgusting habit of believing that they have a monopoly on patriotism and moral righteousness. >> We shall see. I believe that if the vote count in Florida (once it comes to its full conclusion) is in favor of Gore, the Bush camp will graciously concede. This is counter to what the Democrats stated they would do. Already the Gore camp has stated that they will pursue (frivolous) law suits to their conclusion. They have stated that unless Gore wins, the outcome will not be the will of the people. Those statements by the democrats will stand as unforgivable for all eternity. Damage has already been done to our country. The world looks at us differently than they did before. How can we step in to oversee another countries democratic processes when we can't handle our own. 26,000 votes were discarded due to a confusing ballot in a republican county of Florida. 19,000 votes were discarded due to a confusing ballot in Palm Beach. You don't see an equivalent to Jackson in upstate Florida. You don't see a huge conglomerate of republicans calling everyone in that upstate county and telling they were ripped off and they should protest and sue. You see it in Palm Beach because the democrats have no scrupples, they have no morals. In my opinion. Dave

"As if Divinely inspired, they have this disgusting habit of believing that they have a monopoly on patriotism and moral righteousness." That's entirely due to the vacuum on the other side...

As if Divinely inspired, they have this disgusting habit of believing that they have a monopoly on patriotism and moral righteousness. Amen Brother Greg, Appeals to Patriotism are generally the last resort of the scoundrel..............Why else would huge flags be so popular at used car lots? I'll take my arrows in the back, Ray <vbg>

<<<If there is one thing I could pinpoint about the current Republican Party that bothers me more than anything else, it is this: As if Divinely inspired, they have this disgusting habit of believing that they have a monopoly on patriotism and moral righteousness.>>> It's too bad you have something against righteousness. Since the Republican party is the least of the two evils many Christians vote Republican. Should Bush win you will understand that it was the Christian vote that gave him the edge. Now in the future the Democrats may try harder to win the Christians over but being so ignorant of what morals are it will be futile. Should anyone want a hint....here i'll toss you one. Anyone who believes in abortion for any purpose outside of saving the mother's life is a murderer. Whew!!!!!! No wonder so few Christians vote Democrat!!!
