We saw it different. I thought he made a fool of himself. Barney Frank, that is. Have you heard Gore is considering him for a cabinet post if he is elected?

County grubbing was never intended to be an endgame for the Presidency. Facing a situation, needing to hand-count ballots, to be sure, for the American people, to hear their voice, and knowing handcounting was vote recovery method that could only be fair if applied to all counties where both candidates had majorities, Al Gore asked for unfair advantage from the get go. He had 72hrs to say, "Obviously, we shoud have a handcount to be sure and fair, I owe that to my voters. Folks, handcounting recovers votes machines lost let me explain what I've been told... . If I were to do that in just counties that voted mostly for me, I'd gain on Mr. Bush for SURE, so my campaign is requesting ALL counties to begin handcounting as soon as reasonably possible. Thank-you." Then he'd a had a lock on the fair way. If he just hadn't missed the deadline. If he had used his fairbone, we wouldn't be in this mess today. Dan B

Score a big one for Barney Frank over Fox TV's O'Reilly. Frank's pretty good a scoring "big ones"... Especially that lover of his who was running a gay prostitution ring out of his capital hill apartment years ago.

Those %$% Democrats are stealing the election. We know there would have been another 10000 republican votes if the media hadn't called the election early. And there would have been another 3000 votes for Gore if it hadn't been for that #**&butterfly ballot in Palm Beach. Wait, that means the Republicans are stealing the election! Those %$%^%$ Republicans, you can't trust any of them! And that explains why the Republicans are trying to stop a legal recount of ballots judged to be fair by a panel of both democrats and republicans! And now the republicans are trying to block the vote of those in the military! How dare they! Wait, those are the Democrats. As I said, the Democrats are stealing the election! You can't trust any of them. And with all those Democratic lawyers down there, they are just trying to steal the election with legal games. Wait, there are just as many Republicans lawyers down there! Ok, I think I've got it now. Both the %^#%$ Republicans and the %$#^# Democrats are trying to steal the election! You just can't trust any of them. Obviously I am the only one maintaining a clear unwavering unbiased view here, and the rest of you are just trying to manipulate peoples views into your narrow opinion! I am definitely backing the Hillary Clinton/Katherine Harris ticket in 2004. Obviously, these are the only people you can really trust.
