Well, since you are a liar, you should be more accomodating to him, don't you think?

No, what President Bush is, sir, is the certified winner of the Florida Election and the next President of the United States. And that, my friend, is something you can't take away. I only wish you would channel your energies into helping the losing candidate with some box packing.

It's a stupid analogy. Presenting a product at a cash register unambiguously signals your intention. If there is a question you are standing right there and the clerk can ask you. Leaving a hole unpunched in the Presidential election might mean, you were confused and didn't know what to do (and gave up), or that you chose not to vote for any of the candidates. In either case, the voter is long gone and there is no way connect the card with the voter so you can ask them.

OK LAWDOG: in fact your grocery shopping analogy is terribly flawed and corrupt. Casting a vote is a right, paying for groceries is an obligation. When I vote, I exercise my right to cast a vote. I have the right to cast a vote ...but I have no right to have my vote accrue toward the total of votes for my selected candidate unless I exercise my right to vote with the care that I should apply to all of my other rights. When I shop for groceries, I have an obligation to pay for the groceries - regardless of whether the grocer made a mistake or not. LAWDOG, if you don't understand the difference between a right and an obligation then you should not be posting about such topics.
