Carolyn, How about this one? Sandra Day O'Connor - Reuters December 18, 2000 NEW YORK -- Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was upset during an election-night party when she heard Florida was first called for Vice President Al Gore, exclaiming, "This is terrible," according to a report in Newsweek magazine released yesterday. The report said O'Connor made the comment at about 8 p.m. Nov. 7, and declared that meant the election was "over" because Gore had also won two other key states. Quoting two eyewitnesses to her comments, Newsweek said O'Connor then walked off to get a plate of food, and her husband, John, explained to friends and acquaintances that she was upset because they wanted to retire to Arizona and a Gore presidency meant they would have to wait at least four years because she did not want a Democrat to name her successor. O'Connor, 70, had been Republican majority leader of the Arizona state Senate before being appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Reagan in 1981. The magazine said in its edition due out today her remarks would likely fuel criticism that high court justices "sought to influence" election returns in their ruling that ended the impasse over the presidential election.

The Clinton/Gore totalitarians once again dragged their country through the mud, thinking only of themselves first. When their tawdry attempt to steal the election with fabricated votes failed they kept up the fight until the average citizen could see what a crooked mess voting really is. Not that I object to that. I think one reason we stupidly elect liberals in the first place is that far too many of us are taught to think that citizenship is just another verse from "Puff the Magic Dragon". Just vote for the charlatan who acts like he "Feels your pain" and the world will turn into a fairy tale, with all of us living happily ever after. But I will point out that two Republicans, in '60 and again in '76, walked away from elections that had been rigged against them mostly so the people wouldn't have to see the crooked little men behind the curtains. Add to that a president who resigned in '74 instead of challenging the limits of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and degrading them in the process (ala Clinton in '99), and you have to give the Republicans a whole lot more public service credit than the Demos could ever earn. But Clinton started the war in '99, and Gore pursued it in 2000. So that's what the liberal slime have from now on: war. Personally, I don't think they have the b--ls for it....
