Yeah, I thought this place was getting polarized, but I think the issue may have a life of its own and that it is certainly bigger than we are. If we can't put an end to the bickering - maybe we can just switch sides. We haven't discussed the 4700 absentee ballots in Seminole County - Democrats are suing to THROW OUT the counted ballots. Republicans are charged with MANIPULATING the election process. okay everybody - pick sides - ya goin' with party allegiance or stickin' to the issue?

Hi Clappy, I was out back on the woodline workin' on my old car when I heard your voice on the porch...Well, I needed another concrete block anyway, so I thought I'd come over. I don't wish to argue... and, from your post, I know you don't either...for sure! That is why you left for the library, but, when you come back, cogitate this point...please...and forgive me, I jes had to throw my two cents in... You wrote: With a small number of votes to the other direction, Bush could have easily been walking in the same shoes that Gore is wearing now. How would this message board have reacted if Bush was pulling for a recount?" Clappy, please understand, the reason so many on this board are upset is that if the shoe had been on the other foot, this would have all been over on election day! There wouldn't of been no planeload of trial lawyers on the way to WPB before sunrise...no telelmarketers creating false disatisfaction in WPB qtips... no Jessee Jackson stirrin up hate n strife...no...wouldn't be prudent..... Today, Y'all 'ud be talkin bout the bus n the que n the Naz... kirkout

Clappy, Thanks for taking the time to express yourself. I feel somewhat honored that I was the "vehicle" for your frustration. I agree so much with everything you said. There is such an avalanche of pro Bush on the Porch that it's intimidating to respond figuring, "what's the point"?? I admire people's passion, but have disdain for anyone that can't (or won't ) understand that there is another side of the story. In hearing your words, it really demonstrates how serious the problem is because you are one of the "insiders" on the porch. More importantly, you are so well liked by all. So if you are offended, for me it just really highlights the problem. I hope things get better soon. I started to follow the new Yahoo thread "Qualcomm Rocket To The Stars 2" started by MikeMargin and I still enjoy "Coming into Buying Range". Take care, and I'll know things have improved greatly when I see you back on the Porch or at least posting somewhere else. Best Regards, Don
