Well Dan, the disqualification of overseas ballots tears it for me, have lost any last shred of respect for the Democratic attorneys trying to steal the Florida election. IMO they may have gone a bridge too far by insulting the Military My Grandfather served in The Norwegian infantry in the 1800's. My father was on a US battleship operating off England in 1917.His brother Harry drove an ambulance in France in WW1. Another brother Henry was gassed in the trenches but survived only partially disabled. After being married less than one year my sisters first husband was killed by a Jap grenade on Guadacanal after being in the service for 3 months. Another sister moved to California and worked as a riviter on bombers. My Mother born in 1892, after raising 5 kids on a 17 acre farm in Michigan, made copper coils for mine detectors during WW11. I joined the ROTC in 1941 and served in the Air Force on Guam until 1946. We lost 364 B-29 bombers and many among the 10 man crews before the conflict ended. Any voter who does not read the notice on the polling place wall, or ignores the instructions on the ballot itself where it says to be sure the card is punched thru does not deserve to be counted. Does not deserve to walk freely down the streets of this great nation, protected by police and by laws, innocent until proved guilty, freedom of speech, right to bear arms with the country guarded by an alert Military. Mr Gore will, of course, deny having anything to do with distributing that pamplet showing exactly how to disqualify an overseas ballot. I would believe that BS when the cows come home. Thanks for your great posts......... Sig
