Dems getting Gored on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews over the military issue. It's so over. Gore blew it with the Daley et. al goon squad. Hillary's next in 2004.

Jim, I find it odd that from the beginning, the Democrats have pushed their agenda by advocating, "The Will of the People", rather than insisting on the Rule of Law. I find it odd that the Democrats have insisted that, "All votes should be counted". However, they only asked for manual recounts in democratic strongholds, rather than have all votes counted throughout the state of Florida. I find it odd that the Democrats want to divine the will of the people from ballots that do not have the chad fully removed, yet as I understand (heard this on TV tonight FWIW) the voting booths had warnings posted in clear terms admonishing voters to assure the chad was fully removed from the ballot. In any event, voting is a serious, solemn occasion & it is incumbent on the voter to assure their vote is unambiguous - see the Federalist writings on voting. I find it odd that today we have learned that it clearly appears that Democrats have made a concerted effort to assure that as many absentee ballots be invalidated as possible. This process appears to be replete with a 5 page playbook enumerating every conceivable ploy to invalidate votes. Military votes appear to be the target of this concerted effort. Clinton argued about the meaning or definition of "is". Have the Democrats found a new meaning for the word "ALL"? I do not find it odd that Pandora's box is being pried wide open & that the Rule of Law is now a distant memory in this process - I believe I called that on election eve/day. We will get the government we deserve..... regardless of who is sworn in. Ö¿Ö P.S. Perception is reality...... regardless of the facts.

>>.......But one senior Bush aide hinted at another line of legal attack this week, when he said the campaign’s research had found that 1,100 Florida voters were simultaneously registered in New York state. The Bush campaign presumes most of those voters are Democrats, and if their votes were disallowed, even a Gore lead from the manual recount might be reversed. Asked whether the discovery of the dual registrants might prompt further litigation to disallow some of those votes, the advisor said, "We’ll see.">> latimes.com Ö¿Ö
