OK Richard Fair enough Let me take the first one, easiest to prove Bush is a hypocrite Bush signed a law that essentially says manual recounts take precidence over machine counts and requires the counting of ballots with dangling chads and may include looking at ballots to decide intent. He is a "states rights" candidate that was the first to try and stop a recount via FEDERAL courts, interfering with Florida's rights He was offered a chance to manually recount the entire state, both by Gore and the Supreme Court of Florida, turned it down IN PRINCIPLE, now complains bitterly about only the Democcrat counties being recounted. Tries to hype up the emotions of the nation by demanding after the fact counts (against Florida law) of EVERY overseas ballot, yet wants to stop recounts that in any way shape or form may benefit the Democrats Lies through it teeth about "discrepancies" in the recount process when after watching for 6 hours I only saw a few dimpled ballots get counted (and only in the case where there were dimples for multiple democrat ballots and the ectire rest of the ballot was democratic). Richard I very tired of these fraud allegations when the Republicans know full well there is none with all the spotlights we have seen. I also notice these "allegations" have stopped since the process is now shown on nation TV. Bush refuses to say whether or not he will conceed if he is behind after today, yet chastices the Democrats when they say they will protest. They protest the manual recounts as innacurate, when state after state after state, including Texas and Florida have provisions for manual recounts and counting votes on intent and or chads. They have the adaucity to acuse the democrats of hypocricy, when they have shown to be far bigger hypocrites. The Republicans know full well that chads do not fall out by holding up or handling the ballots (unless they are dangling on one leg) yet try to convince the public of what they know are lies. ========================================================== Quite simply I am amazed and shocked about what lenghts the Republicans will go to spin this in their favor. Gore is taking the high road in what he says. No criticism of Bush, directly or indirectly, just fighting for what he believes is his, however best he can. Honest to God, I wish Gore would come on with the same "scorched earth" policy of the Republicans AND ON NATIONAL TV, OUT AND OUT CALL BUSH THE BIGGEST F******** HYPOCRITE HE HAS EVER SEEN, give his reasons just as the the Republicans are doing to them.
