Anyone else notice this in the Supreme Court ruling?

[Format C:]

"...our state statutory scheme has been superseded by federal law governing overseas voters;..."

"See Fla. Admin. Code R.1S-2.013 (1998), which provides in relevant part:

(7) With respect to the presidential preference primary and the general election, any absentee ballot cast for a federal office by an overseas elector which is postmarked or signed and dated no later than the date of the Federal election shall be counted if received no later than 10 days from the date of the Federal election so long as such absentee ballot is otherwise proper." *

*Emphasis added

Looks like maybe one of the talking heads was right. So, now whats going to happen?

 

[Locutus of Board]

No

 

[BigToque]

Actually...











































I didn't notice. Kind of you to ask though

 

[Format C:]

Drunk again are we?

 

[charliebrown]

We're going to war dude. Did you see how mad Baker was tonight when he made his statement? He's P*SSED...

 

[Format C:]

Nope. Havn't even turned on the TV.

 

[Harvey]

<<He's P*SSED...>>

He's PASSED? Nah. He's PESSED? Uh uh. He's POSSED? Mmmm... Maybe. He's PUSSED? Yeah, that's gotta be it. No?

Oh... You mean he's PISSED. Well, you know what they say if he can't take a joke.

<<We're going to war dude.>>

Him and what fscking army, DOOD? This ain't no backwater banana republic where the military rolls out tanks and canons if one group of pols doesn't like what a court says.

If you don't like it, please sit on your thumb, and twirl a bit.

<< This ain't no backwater banana republic where the military rolls out tanks and canons if one group of pols doesn't like what a court says. >>

Odd choice of words. Why inject religion into the discussion? Maybe you meant Canon the camera manufacturer which makes a bit more sense. Perhaps you really meant cannon instead, and just didn't know how to spell it properly.

[BiggieN]

is that like special &quot;elite&quot; crack you all are smoking? with the exception of red dawn of course. he's always coherent and relevant...

 

[Format C:]

Stir stir stir, Mr Beetle.

 

[chess9]

BiggieN:

Oh, I couldn't agree more. Red is the clearest voice in these political debates, and he's nuttier than a loon.

This talk of tanks and big power moves really reflects the scary side of the right wingers. Let's hope calmer heads prevail in all of this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the right wingers acting out their fantasies.

God help us.

 

[Double Trouble]

Let me get this straight... when the repubs talk about using their legal rights to take back the election (having the fla legislature decide what voters to send to the electoral college), it's referred to as &quot;tanks and big power moves&quot;. When the dems try to turn everything the country is based on (voting by the people) on it's ear to have the supremes try to hand them the election, then it's called &quot;legal manuevering&quot;. Double standard?? Gotta fight fire with fire. If the dems are willing to go all the way regardless of cost to steal it, then the repubs have to be willing to go all the way to not have it stolen.

Tagej:

The Supremes let the people's voice be heard. They didn't hand the election to anyone. They don't know who will win. All they know is there are uncounted votes. Many of them. If Bush wanted a recount of the other counties, he should have asked for it, but didn't because he'd lose that one too. Bush was relying on his little Nazi SoS officer to pull his cujones out of the fire, but she tripped on her own stupidity. Now he's trying to win the PR battle because he's lost every legal battle. You Republicans need to find some lawyers with brains. Dumbest shmucks I've ever seen, excepting Richard.

Anyway, it's obvious God is on the side of the Democrats. The Republicans are evil and have embraced Satan. They covet power. They will burn in hell for a million eons, or something.

 

[cxim]

ches....

to use your terms... you are the only dumb nazi shmuck, I see around.

Where the hell do you get off tossing names like those around ???

If you want to disagree, do so &amp; state your points in a civil manner.

Other wise you stink up the place.

 

[chess9]

CXIM:

Who appointed you the censor?

 

[cxim]

I am not a censor.

I don't like obnoxious jerks....

We have had a modicum of civility here for a long time.

You show a crass disregard for such.

Cxim is right Chess9. I've seen plenty of people banned here for using the word Nazi and you have absolutely NO right whatsoever to call anyone that. You have just lost the last ounce of any credibility you may have once had and any respect that I may have had for your views and opinions. You've shown yourself to be nothing more than a slimeball POS. No wonder you like Mr Beetle so much. The two of you share a common denominator. You deserve whatever scorn and contempt you receive because you have totally earned it.

 

[chess9]

I called no one on this forum a Nazi.

Big difference.

Grow up.

 

[chess9]

CXIM:

This has nothing to do with anyone being an obnoxious jerk, but, rather, your inability to accept that others don't share your narrow political and world views.

Grow up.

Edit: And where were you when several right wingers were referring to Gore supporters as Commies? Your mouth was clamped shut. Yet those comments were directed at actual members here. Consistency, though art a jewel.

It's the right wing that's pathetic.

 

[Format C:]

You're pathetic.

 

[chess9]

Furthermore, now that WW is not posting, Red is the only creative person posting on this board. Thank God for his unrelieved hilarity. If I had to listen to the pontificating from the right wing non-stop I'd be comatose from boredom.

So you don't like Red and I do. Big deal. What are we going to do break up into warring sub-camps? Little cliques? Think alike drones vs. free thinkers. Repubs vs. Dems? Runners vs. walkers? Blondes vs. Brunettes? Blue eyes vs. Brown?

How low will you go?

 

[chess9]

FormatC:

Great argument. And incisive as well.

 

[fdiskboy]

Think-alike drones vs free thinkers.

So Chess, you've finally admitted you're a think-alike drone. That's mighty wide of you.

 

[chess9]

Yet another right wing drone weighs in.

Ho-hum.

<< Does that mean we'll get to listen to you complain some more? >>


Well, it's common knowledge that a political thread on this board is not &quot;certified&quot; until you complain about the Myopians, Red.


<< You Republicans need to find some lawyers with brains. >>


It's not the lawyers who make the decisions -- good thing the Dems packed the court system full of their judges years ago.
