>>The Gore people will "say or do anything" to get every contested issue and vote to go their way - key difference - "anything". <<

i haven't see bush draw a line yet. care to venture what bush wouldn't do to get elected that the demos would do? be VERY careful as the pubs may embarrass you in short order ;-)

i think all the major differences we see now are due to circumstance. if bush lost by 900 votes you would see very similar tactics and arguments, imho.

this may be the catalyst that changes the world's view of the ALMIGHTY BUCK. regression to the mean, here we come... ;-)

"The Gore people will "say or do anything" to get every contested issue and vote to go their way - key difference - "anything". "

LOL... have we been watching the same election? I'm not even sure why I responded to your post.

Two simple points.. before the election Bush said if he won the popular vote, yet lost the electorial that he would continue to campaign the electorial college to swing their votes in his favor. I said to myself at that point that this would get ugly, because he would do ANYTHING to win..he is playing defense only because he has a narrow lead, and it plays to his public support to do so.. give Gore a lead, and Bush gets bush league.

2) Bush signed a law to count dimpled ballots, and supported hand counts.. yet now they are the root of all evil..lol

I really wonder how you can see an issue so one sided... I know, I know, you are in the middle, and support neither guy...lol
