<< My favorite of his "ethical" methods was to try to block a hand recount, while he signed a bill in Texas authorizing hand recounts. >> Texas uses optical readers, not punch card readers. There's a LOT less chance of inserting judgment calls when you hand read a marked card then there is when you try to sort out pregnant chad, swinging door chad, bulging chad, etc. They had a decent argument, but they lost. They admitted just a few minutes ago they weren't surprised by the ruling. You don't see them screaming "appeal, appeal!" If it were the democrats you'd see a 1 million man march. In my opinion, Dave

But you guys are right. Democrats are inherently unethical dishonest minions of Satan, and Republicans are good and righteous YOUR SARCASM POINTS BACK AT YOU! You don't have to be a Republican (or a Democrat), to be a Bastard. People are not the many groups they join; They are themselves. When the microphone is (accidentally) on, you will find that your heroes are not at all like you believe. Many of them will curse gays, women, Christians, Atheists, and clowns. Trust me. I know them. I would rather have an idiot telling me sincerely what he/she TRULY believes...than have a psychopath telling me what he/she doesn't. In the meantime...I wonder if THIS will really be the hammer that is the fulcrum for your/my happiness quotient and future? OK. I apologize. In their own ways--Bushy and Gorey are important kids. BUT THEY ARE BOTH KIDS.
