Gore camp already stating they will contest results.

Gore to contest results

Now why does this not surprise me? After all the cheating and legal hanky panky, with the aid of his democratic Florida supreme court, Gore is still not assured of the final vote count going his way. So of course he's gonna challenge..... the rest of the country be damned, so long as Al gets his way. Of course, they were kind enough to add "if the final count favors Gore, we'll drop all federal and state suits". Gee, really? Thanks fellas, that's swell of ya.

This spineless bastard just doesn't cease to amaze me. I always knew about his liberal agenda and lying ways, but like many naive people, I thought he was just another typical politician making things up where convenient. Now his actions over the last 2 weeks have made me (and a lot of others) finally see the REAL Gore - a man with the integrity and morals of a back street whore, a pathological liar, and a disgrace to his home state of Tennessee. No wonder even his home state didn't vote for him.

Over dinner last night, two relatives said "I can't believe I voted for this scumbag". These are hard core democrat supporters.... If even they saw through the Gore veil of lies, I get the feeling the backlash of all this conniving and cheating are gonna cost his party down the line, regardless of the outcome of this election.

 

[StageLeft]

morals of a back street whore ouch.

I would like to see a nation-wide election reheld...I have a feeling Gore would not win the popular vote...

 

[Lvis]

Well said, tagej Hopefully more people will come around to your way of thinking, before it's too late.

Thats a shame, so far it was all legal and within the law. The hand counts should be done and tomorrow should be the final count and lets move on.

I sure as hell don't blame him. It makes no sense that Miami/Dade stopped their hand recount. They had taken all the time to fight for a hand recount, and then they end it. The Board that decided to end the recount was clearly threatened in some way or another. Pretty sad.

<< Gore camp already stating they will contest results. >>

So you'd expect anything different from the Bush league if they lose?

Whatever is going to happen in this one is going to happen, and no amount of pissing and moaning from any of us is going to change it. In the end, will be President and have absolutely no chance of getting anything done for a few years, and that is the real shame, because, even discounting political agendas, far too much day to day business will not get done.

Hopefully, four years from now, everyone will be so pissed that we will get some real candidates, instead of these two pissant losers. :|

 

[BoberFett]

Sorry Harvey, but until we get some real men in office instead one of these sniveling losers

<< far too much day to day business will not get done >>

is the best option there is.

If Bush wins, there is no way anyone can say he 'stole' the election or anything of the like. The most they can do is say he didn't win the popular election, just the electoral election -- but that's what the constitution says you have to do. If, on the other hand, Gore wins it, the repubs will (rightfully so) feel that he cheated his way into the office and make his life miserable for 4 years.

Harvey: <<So you'd expect anything different from the Bush league if they lose?>>

I don't know for sure if I'd expect anything different from the Bush camp if the situation were reversed, but that's still speculation. Gore has now shown how dispicable he really is and removed all doubt. At least there's still doubt whether Bush would do the same or not.

I've said it before, I didn't like either guy going in, but these last two weeks have made it clear at least one of these guys is not suited to be president (Gore) -- there's still some doubt about the other.

 

[Viper GTS]

Contesting the results of a count that HE sued to get?

That really makes a lot of sense.

slunk,

Hello? They didn't want to do the hand count to begin with. They were threatened, all right; by Gore's Goonies. They had originally said they were NOT going to do it, but once Goreby rattled his legal sabre, they decided to move forward.

They flip-flopped before. I didn't see you complaining when the last time the change favored Gore.



<< . Of course, they were kind enough to add &quot;if the final count favors Gore, we'll drop all federal and state suits&quot;. >>



Tagej,

I think there is a word for that type of threat. Give me a minute, it'll come to me. Oh, yeah...blackmail.

Handcounts are legally provided under the law, both during the contest and after the votes have been cerified. Then any canadate can contest and challenge the vote count.

Why is Bush fighting a legal procedure? One the even he voted as being more accurate than machine counts. Yet Bush want to fight for a re-count (by hand) on mail-in ballots that have already been thrown out for illegal technical specifications.

Why is Bush so afraid of the more accurate hand counts? Why didn't he ask for hand counts in the entire state of FL? Why did Bush constantly say &quot;I trust the people&quot; and now doesn't trust election board counters, and even the FL Supreme court justices.

 

[Russ]

<< now doesn't trust election board counters, and even the FL Supreme court justices. >>



Well, gee, could it be because they are all democrats?

Russ, NCNE

 

[slunk]

Thanks for clearing everything up Russ! I still totally disagree. Did you not see all of those white supremacist looking Republicans after the decision to continue the manual recounts, rushing inside the Miami/Dade county courthouse. There was definitely some threatening going on. Where you get blackmail from is beyond me. Those three election commisioners have stated that they felt threatened at that point. The Democrat protesters haven't gone near that point of protesting. Therefore, it is to be believed they were threatened, unless your close-minded and blind. Yeah, blackmail, good one.

 

[slunk]

Russ, what are you talking about in regards to the counters being all democrats? Are you kidding? The process is almost neutral. There are from four to six people analyzing each ballot. There are also election officials and deputy-sherrifs overseeing the process. You are pretty ill-informed on this process. I know plenty of people that are there counting from Texas, both democrats and republicans. They all say there is almost no chance of stealing votes. Why do you make such outrageous claims?

 

[Capn]

&quot;white supremacist looking Republicans&quot;
I see your true sentiment comes through,

&quot;unless your close-minded and blind.&quot;
talking to yourself again?


btw, saying Russ is illinformed is a joke right?

 

[Michael]

slunk - I had my first real laugh at the process in Florida today. I read an interview with Lieberman where he was complaining about the Republican protesters. I think that he was just complaining because public protests are a long held Democrat tactic (see Jesse Jackson running to Florida right after the election in an attempt to stir up sh!t).

With the exception of the right-to-lifers, Republicans are not known for demonstations. I found out that there have been election protests in my town most days this week. Gore may have done the Republicans the biggest favout possible. He has them so mad right now that they're starting to beome activists.

I'm still chuckling about Lieberman complaining about protests.

this is really making me sick. I really hope the us supreme court calls off these damn hand counts and lets the fl. sec. of state do her job and certify the election.

and to whoever said bush would be doing the same thing if he were in that position, I disagree. Look what Nixon did in '60, he did was gore should have done weeks ago, bow out gracefully, and spare his party the shame of looking like a bunch of crybabies. and look what it did for nixon's political career. if gore would have stepped out gracefully on the 8th, he would have a legit shot at the democratic nomintation for then 2004 presidential election, now his party will disown him if he keeps this crap up.

and I gurantee that if gore does end up stealing this election, he will have hell during his term, and Bush will be back in 2004, winning in a landslide. I can tell you that the republican-contolled congress will never get anything done with gore in office. its time for the sore/loserman ticket to concede

<< now doesn't trust election board counters, and even the FL Supreme court justices. >>



Russ's response <<Well, gee, could it be because they are all democrats?>>


Gee Russ, I guess that only Republicanes are the only trustworthy people in America. Especially multi-millionares like GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Secretary of State Katherine Harris. Not the supreme court jugdes that try to reslove a conflict in vote cerification dates in FL state law.

 

[jacobnero6918]

Gore is a weasel.........

 

[Valhalla1]

this is getting rediculous

 

[Russ]

<< Gee Russ, I guess that only Republicanes are the only trustworthy people in America. >>



And yet another has seen the light. We're making real progress.



<< Especially multi-millionares like GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Secretary of State Katherine Harris. >>



Careful, your class envy is all over your sleeve.

Of course Gore will contest the results, Bush would if he was in the same situation.

Gore won the popular vote so he has got a mandate from the majority of voters to do everything he can within the law to win the election.

Sure if Bush wins the electoral college votes he's president, but the fact remains he won't have the mandate of the majority.

If situations were reversed ,Bush would be doing exactly what Gore is doing &amp; vice-a-versa.

You mustn't forget they are both politicians, so you shouldn't expect anymore from either of them than you'd expect from a lawyer or bureaucrat - as all 3 are members of the lowest form of life.

 

[BoberFett]

<< Gore won the popular vote so he has got a mandate from the majority of voters to do everything he can within the law to win the election. >>

Ummm, no. That's not the way it works here. Popular vote means nothing. And I hardly consider .2% difference to be a mandate .

 

[DABANSHEE]

Especially when in a country where one only needs the votes of about 20% of eligible adults to win.
