<<Whatever that is supposed to mean>> Well Gee Whiz........exactaly what part of that didn't you understand? So you were insulting Republican voters and mocking them with that remark. I just wanted to be sure that I understood your remark. I would like to compliment you on your tolerance and balance, btw. Good for you. Altho the public thinks Bush is handling it better they seem to support Gore's position on manual counting by a large margin [60% to 37% ] I believe that poll referred to Democrats, not the public. There is a slight difference. As far as the military disenfranchisement, I believe you have assumed too much. The law will indeed allow them to vote. Just be patient, and you will see that I am right. But remember: The letter and the spirit of the law would not have been fully tweaked without rubbing some of the dimples that people were sitting on. That is enough for today. It is not healthy to spend too much time in front of a computer. Bye for now.

what do you call it when naval ships, that were stationed in FL for sometime, all of a sudden start taking to sea without any prior agenda to do so ? and all that happened the day before election day... you see, the navy, along with other military units, plan all their routes well in advance... unless of course there is a situation somewhere and they get orders to respond... that was not the case the day before the election... yet, they received orders to take to sea... and the question is WHY ? this was reported on national TV, so, I am not interpreting anything on my own... by the way, the matter is being investigated and we shall see. regards amein

Re: "Altho the public thinks Bush is handling it better they seem to support Gore's position on manual counting by a large margin [60% to 37% ]" That would refer to statewide counting. But 94% are against Gore getting these four counties in alone. Gore, as is well known, has sought exactly that and suggested it would give him a fair victory, all along. I think I can put 2 and 2 together. If he were declared the victor this way, he'd be a toast President. g'day Dan B

Are you SURE that every military person ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE BALLOT they requested....THAT is the question ALL of us need to ask, and to find the answer......And if they didn't....we need to ask WHY NOT??? IF they did, EXACTLY what date did they RECEIVE it, and EXACTLY what date was it mailed......FOR EACH AND EVERY STATE....NOT ONLY FL.....Important, don't you think??? You said: With regards to the military ...The law clearly says the ballots must be postmarked on or before election day........ The reason ?? sothat no one may have the benefit of hindsight .........Rather important in this case ya think?
