That's a typical GOPer post on this thread littered with insults and vapid opinion. What makes you think your vote is worth more than mine or someone in Florida whose vote was not counted because a machine couldn't read it. Typical of GOPers on this thread, your empty accusations fit better on you than any demolib posting here. You and your candidate are the ones trying to appoint a President. You support the dictator elect. You lie to yourself and buy into GOP propaganda and platitudes and carry your message of Clinton rage with you. You don't ever stop to wonder if there is any logical basis for your crazy rants. You just spew venom at anyone you associate with democrats or Clinton. You have total disdain for democracy and the Constiution. Anyone who doesn't think just like you is the enemy. Any court that decides against you is automatically biased and impeachable. You don't even think before you spout out your opinions. You reason with emotion. You should take a step back and think about the weakness inherent in your opinions. Your mind is being controlled by the GOP.

Here's what I think the U.S. Supreme Court should do: 1) Rule that Florida's election laws are so imbalanced to a point where no close contest can fairly be decided. 2) Order the state's legislature to rewrite its election law. 3) Require the two candidates to flip a coin to determine the winner. The ruling should include a provision as to who gets to call heads or tails, however. (LOL) The winner would get Florida's closely contested electoral college votes. Another fair solution, particularly for the voters of Florida, would be for its state legislature to award 12 electoral votes to each candidate, and one for Nader. Beyond the two above solutions, I don't see any fair way to resolve this, to a point of legitimacy, other than what the Florida Supreme Court set out to do by determining the election from counting the undervotes (votes never counted) under court supervision. This at least would produce as final of a count as can be possible under the existing circumstances. Remember, Gore has not yet had his request for a hand recount honored by the Florida system even though, by its laws, Florida said he had a right to have one. It's too bad Bush didn't fight for Gore's right to have his recount--it would have made him a great American. What also would have made him a great American were if he had conceded Florida go Gore once he realized Buchanon got Gore's votes. But I guess Bush doesn't really want to be an American hero, since it appears he'd rather push, using his connections (hello Ambassador-elect Harris), into the presidency. That's got a bad taste of legitimacy. Finally, the only thing Gore should concede to is a coin flip. And he may not have to.
