I'm not surprised it happened. I was surprised it was on national television. Mainly I was surprised because I saw the fraud with my own two beady big eyes, and now I know absolutely positively unquestionably that the recount in Broward County was not only not "fair and accurate", it was fraudulent. I really hope somebody puts some clips on TV. If you see the clips, you can only draw one conclusion. It's like watching a tape of somebody getting assaulted where the perps have identifed themselves and said "put the spotlight right here before we beat this dood up." It's very, very clear.

TLC,

If you are disturbed by the "fair and accurate" hand counting process in Broward County then you should be really concerned with the "impartial" news coverage by the major television networks. Why just report the news when the major television newtorks can make the news with an editorial "spin" to support a preordained political position and pass the final product as an objective piece of news journalism?

And as a side note.... I have grown pretty weary with this entire election fiasco. Politics is (and has always been) a dirty game so I am suggesting the following actions by the Bush camp. If Ms. Harris should certify the Florida election count after the 5 PM Eastern time deadline (as mandated by the Florida Supreme Court from a suit brought on by Al Gore and the Democrats) then George Bush should appear on live television tonight, with his best suit, tie and smile before the American public and ask for a concession from Al Gore. There should be tremendous pressure on the Gore camp to concede; and if he doesn't, Al Gore will be publicly percieved as a sore loser.

When you have your opponent down, go for the juglar veins. There is no need to drag the US Supreme Court into a squabble among two very politically unappealing men and possibly tarnish the reputation of the highest Court in our nation in the process. Enough is enough.

Regards,
