Gore siezes the high ground?

[BoberFett]

There's no such thing as a larger half, nitwit. Think about it. And if Gore is really that much more popular, then he should have won, shouldn't he.

 

[Moonbeam]

Oh my tagej, the cannons rolling on your deck are gonna hole your hull. What's there to meet about? WHAT'S THERE TO MEET ABOUT? WHAT'S THERE TO MEET ABOUT/ Let me see! Well there is the fact that half the country (the better half) are going to be really pissed off if Bush wins. They are gonna be morally outraged that bush won without a plurality of votes in the country and in Florida. Half the Congress is gonna be pissed off that the morality thumpers are thieves, sneeks, cheets, and whiners, and they are gonna make life as miserable for Mr Pres as they possibly can. 50 million will be spent finding out where Bush was when he was AWOL from the National Guard, who did the deals on the baseball stadium in Texas that made Bush his tax payer funded 10 million profit, who was the girl who had the abortion, and how many more DUIs there were and who paid to keep them quiet. By the time four yers rolls around we'll know not only his sperm count, but also every letter of his DNA. Acourse, we could try to meet together, people from both sides,and attempt to restore some sense of dignity and common trans-political self-respect to the process. Who knows, you might even be human, have half a brain, and even contribute something worthwhile to my future ultra conservative grand children who (God help them)harken back to the good old days when minds used to think like you.

 

[BoberFett]

And you expect the situation to be different if Gore gets to sit in the big chair? Remeber Moonbeam, half the people don't like him either.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

Almost half the country didn't vote at all, so I don't know what you guys are talking about..

 

[BoberFett]

Quite right Engine, so then it's really 3/4 that don't like one candidate or the other.

 

[Moonbeam]

Bober, we are all the same. I remember very well. What I am trying to do is to hold up a mirror to show that every argument, every point, every belief on one side or the other appears the same on the opposite side. Until we see the emptiness of name calling, recrimination and blame, until we can muster some humility that we know very little, that our passion is about protecting our identity from feeling how bad we already feel, we won't have the sense to see we are better and stronger extending the dignity we want for ourselves to the other. There are real questions that politics raise, real choices about our future that get lost in the struggle for power and control. But when you come right down to it, the only thing keeping us out of the heaven of this beautiful day are the disturbances of our own mind. Republicans are fun though because, while they have real reasons to feel morally superior to some Democrats, they make character such an issue that they trun a blind eye to their own. Since I gotta take some sh!t, to keep both the wolf and the sheep intrusted to my keeping happy, I succomb to temptation too.

beam, <<people outraged, half the country, blah blah blah>>

Baloney. Neither candidate was the clear choice in this case, the country is gonna be devided regardless. Not to forget, only 1/6th of the population voted for the eventual winner, regardless of who that turns out to be. Let's face it, the majority of the people don't give a ratt's butt one way or the other (as proven by the voter turnout), and they will accept whomever wins as the 'real' president.

 

[Moonbeam]

tagej, yea I forgot about the non-voters, but I don't think I know why they don't vote. I have an opinion that for many it's because nobody represents their view. I wish we had non of the above and a prioritised ballot with first and second etc choices so more people could risk a 3rd party choice. The political mud slinging also turns off a lot of voters. Since most people tend to be more liberal that Republicans, I think it is mostly to their advantage that campaigns go negative.

>>Bush is a frightened little twit that's why he doesn't want to meet with Gore to work this out.<<

Wow.
Thanks for enlightening us, SirRed.
How did you happen to learn this little gem of superintelligence,
if we may be so bold as to ask???????

And how do two candidates work together to create the public
vote count?

 

[sweetrobin]

Moonbeam .. so you think because you voted for Gore you are somehow better than those of us that voted for Bush

=====> &quot;Let me see! Well there is the fact that half the country (the better half) are going to be really pissed off if Bush wins.&quot;


get your head out of your butt. Noone is any better than anyone else just because they vote one way or the other ... I have never said anything derogatory about any one other than Gore .. because I have a problem with him .. not with the people that voted for him ... If you want to rag on Bush go for it .. shoot your best shot .. but when you start ragging on people you dont know just because of one choice .. you are being the worst kind of a$$. People like you piss me off. Through this whole election fiasco I have stayed pretty calm .. didn't like what was going on .. but what can I do .. not my job to fix it ... but with that one statement you show why there is so much partisanship .. we have to remember that we are all a part of this nation ... Gore got a quater of the poplulation .. Bush got a quarter of the population ... but it was so close that when you consider that half the population was so disgusted they didnt vote at all .. what do you think that says ??? Your candidate is no better than my ... Bush hasn't won ... Gore hasn't won ... when the absentee ballots are counted .. a winner will be declared ... either way .. I wont be whining .. because I went and voted .. and did what I should do ... if things dont work out the way I want them too .. oh well .. better luck next time ... I wont sit and bitch and whine and complain like I'm sure some will ...

 

[Moonbeam]

sweetrobin, please read my reply to Bober. I am as better than the people who voted for Bush as they are better than me, but only for purposes of illustration. What pisses you off is exactly what disturbs me too. We are reading from the same page. I just sometimes mirror what I see to call attention to it. We don't see ourselves, but you saw what an a$$ I am. Congratulations. That's my point. Peace!

Russ, in regard to Moonbeam, you're the one with the Borg avatar. Maybe you're the one in your strange universe.

 

[sweetrobin]

<<Russ, in regard to Moonbeam, you're the one with the Borg avatar. Maybe you're the one in your strange universe.>>

Dear Sirs:
On Friday, November 3, 2000, I picked the lottery numbers 7-38-18-41-3-30. Saturday night when the numbers were announced I found that the numbers I picked were, however when I checked my lottery ticket I found that I must have marked the wrong numbers by mistake because the ticket
indicated the wrong numbers.  The cards that must be marked to be read by the
computer is hard to read and it is easy to mark the wrong column. I know that you will honor my request that I will be considered the winner because I selected the right number and just made a small mistake.  If you won't pay me for intending to mark the winning numbers, I want
to have you to declare a recount of the Nov 4th Lottery and allow me to select the numbers that came up on the 4th. If you won't allow the recount, I plan to sue.

Respecfully submitted,
Shirley Lotz
West Palm Beach, Florida
