"When the full story of how the Dems almost stole Florida is fully known, it will involve blatant acts of voter fraud and many more improper acts that are less blatant, but no less immoral and corrupt. The level of anger that you see now will seem mild by comparison when the truth comes out. and make no mistake, the news is going to come out - some of the press is already putting the pieces together. And when it happens, Gore will have to answer for his conduct, and that of those who acted in his name and on his behalf. And it won't be pretty." I corrected your errors.

The reason I could not bring myself to support Dubya is two fold -- first, I think he is anti-intellectual Well I think you're wrong here, and that you should feel free to support Dubya. He is not ANTI-intellectual. He is just UN-intellectual. There is a great difference. An Anti will go to hell to avoid intelligence. An UN will at least admire intelligence when he inadvertently bumps into it.

Most of your post is just whining...you need a frikkin towel? reproductive freedom, environmental protection, separation of church and state, free speech I took the liberty of rewriting your view to show what you really said: pro death by abortion, keep all your gas plants in Texas while I use up your energy, keep JJJaKson and all Klinton's black ""churches"" on the warpath while we muzzle conservative Christians in the name of so called separation, and free except for conservatives speech?? Take a hike.

Re. Dubya's ``anti-intellectual'' posture. It's funny how all who criticize him would be hard pressed getting an MBA from Harvard as he did. At least Dubya knows what he doesn't know, by opposition with the totally fake image projected by his opponent, Al Gore, who flunked out of Divinity school and could not get admitted to law school. I have yet to hear a thought out of Al's mouth that's not a platitude. For original thought in the White House, you would have to go back to Teddy Roosevelt. Reagan, Truman or FDR were not intellectuals (FDR never managed to pass the bar) yet, they were successful Presidents because of their character They were either people persons like FDR, knew their limits and took advice well like Truman, or were focused on a few key strategic issues like Reagan. All indications are that Dubya has several of those traits. It never pays to underestimate the opposition, and I think the Dems are in for a tremendous surprise from G.W.

Lol, one of the saddest posts I have read in a week (ok, trust me that is a record on this thread). I think you have some of your "facts" reversed. Somehow this does not surprise me. This "payback is hell" sounds like fightin words-vbg- What are you Democrats gonna do, each vote twice next time? I doubt very much that most of your clients are conservative Republicans. My lawyer has very similar views to mine and why not, I picked him. No, it does not add up. I wouldn't pay someone with your difficulty with facts to work for me, and I don't think other Republicans would either. Marion Barry is not a conservative Republican -vbg- HAGO TH

This post is Clintonesque to the point of surrealism. that he ran as something he wasn't in order to win, a sense that was only reconfirmed by the unprincipled manner in which...blah, blah Accuse the opposition of your own faults and keep repeating it. Straight out of the playbook the whole post. But the sad part is you are sincere.

You know, using Gore's "logic" we'll never know who won the popular vote. 2.5 to 3 million "votes" were "not counted" nationwide for reasons similar to those argued in FL. We'll never know how those "votes" would have affected the outcome. As for FL itself, those ballots have been handled and rehandled and another round of counting will NEVER produce an accurate "recount" at this point. All told, it makes a good case for nationwide electoral reform, ie, "idiotproofing" the balloting process. JLA
