Already a couple of the Bush's administration members are under investigation and questioning over possible illegal activities. There is no indication of any truth to the rumors of alleged illegal activity. We'll see. In the FL vote count, there were many more examples of miscounting in favor of Bush vs Gore in the various counties of the state. The more conservative the county the more likely a miscount. This is bull. The Democrats tried to steal the election, it is clear that Gore was using every crooked means to do so, and Bush behaved like a professional throughout the event. Gore would do anything to win the election, he said it, and he pulled out all the stops. You seem to have forgotten it was the Democrats trying to pull all the crap in manipulating the counting standards The armed forces, a bastion of conservatism, is notorious for paying huge sums of money for such minor items such as toilet seats and coffee machines....what's that all about? What that's about is "Cost Accounting". Those items have overhead cost allocated to them and that's why they're "overpriced". In fact, if those items were not priced so high, that cost would have to be allocated to other items. This subject is covered at length in your basic junior-level cost accounting course. The Democrats will try to invent things to attack Bush on, but unlike Clinton, there is simply no culpability. If you can't see this stuff is manufacturered, it is due to your own yellow-dog blindness.

Liberals did not invent greed and dishonesty...it started with all the conservative robber barons of the 19th Century and the very narrowed minded, greedy kings of the 18th Century. Ted, greed and dishonesty started before our species started. The robber barons weren't really conservative either in the sense of resisting change (they changed a lot of things) or in the sense of having politics similar to the 20th/21st century conservative movement in the US. They weren't really for laissez-faire capitalism either. They enjoyed subsidies and liked restrictions on their competition. They where greedy, often unfair, and sometimes dishonest but they did a lot of good along with all of the bad and shouldn't be demonized as a whole class. They where one of the driving forces developing the country in the 19th century. Tim
