another pos article. This is and has been the Bush position: Rice said that an alternative to Kyoto -- which the administration will present to its European allies next week -- would have to include involvement by countries such as China and India and cannot harm the U.S. economy. Bush has directed a cabinet-level group to examine the issue and develop recommendations for the U.S climate change policy. vny.com

We all knew that the Florida election was crooked, and now we have a formal report. An honorable president would resign, knowing that he was improperly elected.... WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights approved Friday a controversial investigative report that found the 2000 presidential race in Florida was marred by "injustice, ineptitude and inefficiency" that disenfranchised minority voters. The vote to approve the report was 6-2, with two members -- one Republican and one independent -- sharply dissenting... ...The commission's report found that voter disenfranchisement was "widespread" and that state and county officials, including Bush and Secretary of State Katherine Harris, "failed to fulfill their duties in a manner that would prevent this disenfranchisement." The report said "countless unknown eligible voters" were wrongfully turned away from the polls or purged from voter registration lists because of procedures and practices used by election officials. Among the practices criticized in the report was an effort to purge convicted felons and other ineligible voters from registration roles. Lists of ineligible voters, compiled by a private firm, had an error rate of at least 14 percent, and black voters had a "significantly greater chance" of appearing on the inaccurate lists than white voters, the report said. Also, the report found that black voters were nine times more likely than white voters to have their ballots rejected during the counting process. Faulty voting systems were more likely to be used in areas with higher percentages of minority voters, but even in counties where the voting systems were the same, black voters still had a higher rejection rate than white voters, the report said. cnn.com Jeb is toast in the Florida governor race even if it is only Micky Mouse that runs against him. The voters will even the score in a year and a half, and again in 3 1/2 years. Del
