Gore asked for, and got, a judge in Palm Beach to order the Palm Beach canvassing board to look at dimples. The Palm Beach canvassing board looked at dimples. So where's the beef?

Gore asked the Florida Supreme Court for, and got, an extension for Miami-Dade to manually recount the ballots. The canvassing board declined. Gore asked the Florida Supreme Court to order Miami-Dade to manually recount the votes. It declined. Again, where's the beef?

I don't really mind if the Clinton/Gore traitors want to continue their strategy of screwing the overseas military vote. This is the greatest crime they have perpetrated since the election. Should they happen to sue their way into the White House, the national priority will be to eliminate any myth that they are legitimate. That can be accomplished this week, by their public shafting of the military.

Chances are they will think better of it, even though that means a Gore concession...

Following "the letter of the law", or "the intent of the law".....How do you define "intent".....

--"Officer, I KNOW I should have the registration with me" (letter of the law)....."but I meant to take it with me today" (intent)

jt--It's like that mind set I was telling windsock...the old double standard.

Gore was accused of "lunging for power", but Bush is functioning and has been functioning as President elect since November 8, even before his FL campaign trollup certified the votes.

He tried to force the GSA to give him transition space and they refused due to pending litigation, which is definitely a valid reason.

There is such an obvious double standard here that it makes me want to vomit.
