"My point is that based on limited information from the Media, you cannot say that Gore wanted to steal the election" These are facts: 1) Bush had enough votes to win FL after the initial vote count. 2) The vote count was so close that Florida law mandated that there be another vote count. 3) This additional count was done per FL law, and Bush again was the winner. 4) Al Gore would not accept that, and there were many lawyers brought in (75 I believe) to discredit the results of the election. Do you believe any of the points above? Your conclusion that nobody can ever know is a cop out imo. If you are suggesting that Bush may have cheated BEFORE the election I would be curious as to what he may have done. I have never seen anything close to credible to suggest this happened. And going back to the old logic thing, how could Bush have stole the election if he already won it? That seems impossible to me. To show that it was even possible for Bush to have stolen it you have to show that he did something BEFORE the election, or offer up some reasoning as to why Gore would not accept the results. And I don't think you can do either. I think there are enough facts out there to make a decision. You won't make one imo because it will not support your political position. Ooops. Did I say the same thing again? Sometimes the truth hurts, eh?
