2. Considering the ratio of understanding of the issues between W and Gore...
(...or W and Clark, or W and Dean, or W and Feingold) is something like 1 : 1,000,000,000...this is just another Rovian cockamammy whacko puff of crack-smoke blown up the American voters' behinds.

3. Prescient article.
Great paragraph!!!

Oh, barf. The truth is that George Bush is a chucklehead. Was then; is now. If I visited Fort Knox and a huge gold ingot fell on my head, it would not make me a mining engineer. Son Of Bush had the extreme good fortune to have wandered onstage for the most convenient war in history, one in which his officials, if we let them, can justify for years any atrocity by claiming there are shadowy “terrorists” under the bed.

5. Kick
"And then the bad guys, from Katherine “Cruella” Harris to Clarence Thomas, stole it. That’s a very important distinction. And while even political junkies are now weary of campaign books, the best by far was published just a couple months ago, and in paperback, to boot. Jews for Buchanan (New Press, $14.95) by John Nichols, a columnist for the Nation magazine. Nichols establishes beyond the shadow of a doubt that Gore really should have won Florida by 51,000 votes or more."

6. Stolen election
Even when it was written, this article suggests that the author was unaware of the final Florida recount that shows that Bush did win in Florida. Not "should have" but did.

7. Is that a typo?....
Edited on Sun May-07-06 05:39 PM by stillcool47
or are you under the influence?...Saying Bush won Florida, is like saying Saddam has wmd's in his jail cell.

8. huh?
you and i must be remembering different elections, and different final counts.

bush didn't win crap. he, cruella, jim baker, the gop brooks brothers, and all the rest STOLE it.

there was NO should have. if you want to forget about at least 75000 votes from heavily democratic counties that were never included because they were OVERVOTES, meaning the gore box was marked, and the voter also WROTE IN gore's name, thereby making vote counters unable to discern who they wanted as president (?), then we know where you are coming from.

from what i read, after the consortium took in all the variables, out of 7 scenarios, gore won 6 of them.

have you picked up your paycheck?
