Did Al Gore rightfully win Florida?

I think he may have, but I don't know what Party Florida's legislature was at the time, so I don't know for sure. Their Sec. of State was Republican and Bush's brother was Governor and a Republican, if in name only, so iI'm really puzzled as to whether Bush or Gore won.

The fact that SCOTUS snatched the case out of the Florida State Legislature's hands boggles my mind even more.

I personally think the Florida State Legislature should've had the final word, even if they didn't choose Dick and Bush.

Oh well that ship has sailed, we suffered 8 years of Bush and we are still paying for those consequences.

Now we have someone who has the audacity to think he could unfuck the proceeeding 8 years of fucking America got and it seems he's not up to the job (I don't think anybody actually is)

He is Bush 2.0

What major policy has he changed from the Bush years?
 
Lest misinformation get posted, Gore clearly 'really' won Florida, for many reasons any one of which would have changed the official result. I've posted at length previously on it.

The party of the Florida legislature doesn't give them the right to override the voters - though they threatened to, it was a Republican legislature.

Right...because he deported more people? How about the patriot act? How about deficit spending(lol)? How about the military? Gitmo?? Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? The list can go on and on.

Hey you asked. Still he's preferable to McCain and Sarah Pinhead.
 
I think you may be on to something. This question came into my head last night. I was researching the Chupacabra that may have killed JFK after he landed in Roswell. It seems that the Chem-trails dropping mind-controlling flouride into the public water supply may have something to do with the jooz and Bush taking down the towers with explosives.

I need to do a little more research on this first. If I suddenly disappear guys, they found me.
 
no. And he also rightfully lost his home state. When the people at home don't want ya it's time to get treatment for your alarmist mental disorder.

I don't blame them in the sense that they don't like to be reminded of those many bad, inexcusable and indefensible things that the repubs did during Bush's and Cheney's watch at the helm, and extra especially so in reference to what you're posting about. 😉

You answered your own question. We'll never know because the SCOTUS stopped the vote counting and performed a coup d'etat on the people of the United States.

LMFAO!!! 'Delusional' doesn't even begin to cover your post...

They recounted how many times? And Gore was ahead in the count how many times? Then independent groups came in behind the official recount and Bush STILL WON.

Get over it...

We know. There are many other factors that corrupted the election, but even counting the votes that WERE cast, a media consortium paid for that recount later, and by any of the counting measures that might have been used, Gore would have won that recount. They did do some other ways of counting too in which Bush won, but it seemed those were done because they did not want to publish the Gore result at the time just after 9/11 when the recount happened and underming the new President not yet a year in office.
 
I distinctly remember some dude named Chad won that election. And somebody wrote a book about it "Hangin with Chad" or something like that

That's why there were various possible rules - if a ballot had the Gore box punched but a corner of the chad still there, do you count it?

But under any of these rules that counted 'overvotes' - for example someone punching Gore AND writing in "Gore" - Gore won.

But remember too there are many ways - different ways of handling invalid ballots in black and white districts, the wrongful disenfranchsing of innocent people on a 'felon voter list' intentionally designed to capture a large number of 'false matches' of black people who vote Democratic, even the state government taking thousands of felons *from other states* who had the right to vote off the lists, ignoring court orders to stop - any one of these and more (remember the butterly ballot screwup?) changed the election.

There is no question to an informed person that Gore was the people's choice IMO.
 
There were many recounts after the fact, using many different methodologies. In all but one, Bush won. So had the votes been counted one particular way, Gore would have won, otherwise Bush won. Of course, as Senator Franken shows, had the Dems been allowed to recount enough times, Gore would doubtless have won. When Dems really, really need votes, they tend to appear in Democrat-controlled districts.
