<<You would be a "States rights" kinda guy, right? >> No. I'm really an individual rights "kinda guy": Article [IX.] The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Article [X.] The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. <<As for chapter and verse, references to this law have been all over the news the past few days. Find it yourself. But you probably won't find references on newsmax or fox, the all-Bush-all-the-time channels>> I gave you the Texas State Constitution. Find it there! While I would agree that Newsmax has a(somewhat) Republican axe to grind, the same can not be said for Fox News. Problem is The Traditional mainstream media is so far left, the middle or the balance of both (as shown by Fox News) seems right to the supporters of evil. <<What I'm saying is, being hardcore one way or the other right now just plays right into the Republicrats game. >> No, what you are really attempting is to propagandize for the Democratic party to make the Republicans seem extreme, when the core of Gore support is even more extreme. <<What I'm saying is, being hardcore one way or the other right now just plays right into the Republicrats game. They have been trying to get us to think it's Black versus White for the longest time, while they've both been secretly hiding the real rainbow of IDEAS from us all as best they can. They don't want to be pushed to give us principles instead of bullshit, they are both hopelessly addicted to corporate money, they both seek the center(of what!), they are stuck on focus groups and polls and it's all marketing to the "target" voters, presumably forgetting the rest of us who might actually have any brains. They both fear the left and the right because if confronted by either they might have to actually defend themselves.>> Hre you begin to show a bit of true balance. I'm really MOST pleased to see the "average" Republican standing up and demonstrating (Heck it was a near RIOT) in Miami-Dade. The Republicans have been "quite polite" conservatives TOO DAMN LONG! These rights we have been giving away due to Communist operatives inside the Democratic Party are far too dear & bought at far too expensive a price that we might sacrifice them in the name of a civil tone or for fear of disturbing the peace! Where-ever there is oppression of Freedom, disturbance of that false peace must become the rule of the day!

Well, I think this whole argument about "dimpled chads" is ridiculous. How can anyone possibly discern intent from a potential mistake. Especially if the person managed to punch out the holes for other state candidates or referendums being put to a vote from the people. What if these people made A CONSCIOUS CHOICE NOT TO VOTE FOR EITHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE? Here we have someone ready to press that "chad" for Gore or Bush, pressing in a little bit, but then saying "screw them all, I won't vote for either of them". And yet Gore wants that dimple counted as a vote for him. I can see a hanging chad with daylight, but a pregnant one is BS. Regards, Ron
