LOL. What he is doing is showing he doesn't deserve the opportunity to hold any elective office. He is trying to steal an election. He is not statesman material. He is a selfish and self centered man who lies to the people and those who are uninformed or naive believe him. That is his constituency. Here is a post I copied to illustrate honest, hard working and thoughtful democrats will leave the party in droves. This man voted for Gore and here is where he is now. Your arguments are very weak. But reality is all i am interested in now. We are days away at most from a Gore concession. It is in the air today. Gore will do the right thing in the end and that will justify in my mind my vote for him. It's folks like me, who voted for Gore, who understand the process and who have abandoned Gore. We have made the 50/50 argument moot. I am sorry I disappointed you, but the country is worth more that recounting a tie vote until you get it your way. Yes it is was a tie in Florida but in 3 separate ways of counting, count, recount and a chance for 3 democratic counties to recount, Bush came out ahead. IMO you only deserved 1&2 but even with 3 and even if you add Palm and the 156 counted Miami votes in you still lose because the good folks of Miami refused to play your dimpled chad game and continue the count. We have all lost in our lives and we all bounce back as you will. The election was not stolen. It could only be perceived as so if there are forced recounts now and Gore were to win. Get over it.

TOLD YOU SO....... More "troubling" lowdown for you, TE: AS I SAID, THE BILDERBERGERS' JITTERS ARE ALL ABOUT GW BUSH'S NEGRO PALS --Game of the day: find out the Jewish surrogates for Ms Condi Rice and Gen Colin Powell... GO! NEWS ANALYSIS Presidential? Bush Is Getting Mixed Reviews on His Profile Dan Balz Washington Post Service Monday, December 4, 2000 WASHINGTON Governor George W. Bush exuded enormous confidence in his pursuit of the presidency, skillfully managing the symbols and imagery of politics to his advantage. But in trying to stake a claim on the White House in one of the most difficult environments any would-be president has faced, he has been far less sure-footed. With personnel moves, photo opportunities and scripted speeches, Mr. Bush has tried to create a sense of inevitability about the outcome of the still-disputed election, from his "victory" speech a week ago to his appearance Saturday at his ranch with Republican leaders in Congress to discuss his legislative agenda. In doing so, Mr. Bush has begun to sketch the outlines of a presidency. But the question for Mr. Bush and his team, raised by some independent analysts and some Republicans speaking privately, is whether the man who believes he will be president has done all he can to make it possible to govern successfully after weeks of legal warfare and inflamed rhetoric on both sides - or whether he has made his chances worse. [...] Mr. Bush's reliance on his running mate, Dick Cheney, to direct his transition, Colin Powell, the retired general, to offer national security advice, and former Secretary of State James Baker 3d to run his Florida legal operation while staying relatively out of view testify both to his commitment to give broad authority to those around him and the confidence to let others share the limelight. [...] In naming Andrew Card as his prospective White House chief of staff, Mr. Bush has dealt quickly with one of his most important appointments, making it more likely that his White House team will be in place well in advance of an inauguration - a telling contrast to the way President Bill Clinton picked his White House staff. In leaking Mr. Powell's likely nomination as secretary of state and the choice of Condoleezza Rice as national security adviser, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney have sent signals to potentially nervous capitals abroad about the foreign policy team they will be dealing with if Mr. Bush becomes president. Republicans in the Bush camp and close to the campaign contend that there is a deliberate strategy to keeping Mr. Bush out of public view. "The strategy is to low-key it and not let Bush be damaged in this period, so that when he is president-elect, he can mount a charm offensive and start to talk to the Democrats," a Republican official said.
