Stand back - My head is going to EXPLODE!!!

[Feisters]

I am literally going to blow a gasket after watching the latest images, and listening to the latest news stories, talking heads, etc., etc., etc. concerning the presidential "election". [pounding head on table, hard]. Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The BS spewing from the Gore camp would be funny if it weren't so damned tragic. They can't even give a straight answer in a simple interview! (Answer the God damned question already!!!)

Power-hungry muthafuc&ers. Socialist, liberial coc&suckers. I'm not into your "one-world" (UN). I'm not into your "social programs" (Appalachia is still poor, and every city still has crack whores). And if I see one more "pretty white boy" trying to act like he's from the "hood"....

I better stop. I'm getting really pissed. This is the internet afterall. Some liberal will probably whine and complain to some "governing body" that they were "offended" or "threatened" by me. You know what? . . . SUE ME!

Oh, and by the way, I am trying to stir sh!t up with this post. Have a good day

I concur

So you're trying to stir stuff up? Then how about I help you.

<< I am literally going to blow a gasket >>

BULLSH!T. If you had half a brain, you would know that by the definition of the word LITERALLY, you are saying that you will ACTUALLY, IN REAL LIFE blow a gasket. --And the only recognition this language allows for using &quot;literally&quot; in place of &quot;figuratively&quot; is as a USAGE PROBLEM. So, if you are saying you will ACTUALLY blow a gasket, then you are implying that you CONTAIN a gasket, and simple anatomy and physiology irrefutably proves otherwise.

I feel for you.As a conservative myself,I have to let it go.I cannot do anymore than I have done,thats vote correctly,the first time,for my choice.Dont watch or listen to the bs anymore,it will only upset you.The media feeds on this and will continue to do so untill public opinion and their ratings start to dwindle.I check the progress now about once every three days,and thats for about 3 minutes.The sad part to all this is the folks in florida are going to cost the US taxpayers millions in lawyer fees by their inablity to cast a vote correctly.As I have stated b4,the state of florida has kept paper ballots just so they can manipulate the outcome of an election.They and cook county (Chi town) are the only places that still use the punch ballots.Other places,texas for one uses a paper ballot,but you must put a MARK on the ballot with a black marker.Dailey,the guy gore trots out at his every chance is the son of one of the most corrupt politians every,Mayor Dailey of Chicago.Fla has really put the nation and free world on hold as they slowly twist fold and mutilate(eating chads!) the ballots.

Well said, squirrel dog.

OK, so look at it this way. If Gore wins he will be a President that has alienated half a nation, widened the divide between the parties, and in effect will be a four-year lame-duck President. Nothing much will be changed or accomplished as the Republicans and Democrats hold a four year pissing match. The country will continue the slow downward economic spiral that's been happening the last few months. (this in my opinion is a repeating cycle that neither party can completely control)

In four years, Gore won't be able to get elected as dog catcher but will still be nominated by the Democratic Party for a second term. The Republican nominee will win in a landslide because American voters do have memories and will not elect ANY Democratic nominee. The Republican winner will probably serve two terms.

So in reality if Gore wins nothing much will happen, then in four years we will get a two term Republican nominee.

Just my .02

I solve all these problems with one simple action:


I just don't care

 

[Xzaver]

You got to give gore credit though the man has balls for sticking it out.

You know I hope gore dosn't ever give up. , It will show the Truth about Americains , We never quit.

I hope he does get in. Then Sends Bush to the cleaners.

Regards,
-Xzaver-


EDIT:Fathom5, Why would he alienate half the nation , If anything They should give him more credit then he has now.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Feisters - I feel your pain. What in the world can AlGore and his camp be thinking (smoking)? He is coming off as the biggest a$$hole, trying to win the election via a loophole or some other trickster method is just NOT going to go over well.

Even Democrats I know that were pretty staunch Gore supporters think he's gone too far and looks ridiculous.

[edit] I guess I didn't answer your question. In my opinion, he has ruined any chance of being able to work with Republican's (about half the nation) by the actions he and the Democratic party have shown. They are exhibiting a do anything, say anything win at any cost mentality that is only hurting themselves more. The worst thing they can do is to push this farther and farther. They are showing no credibilty, IN MY OPINION, by their actions.

I speak for no one but myself, but this is what I observe.

 

[Jumpem]

Yeah, Algore's a total idiot.

 

[Fathom5]

Damn, Red where ya been? I expected to see you here earlier.

Please don't hold anything back, let it out.

<< BULLSH!T. If you had half a brain, . . . >>

LMAO! Touche' DesignDawg! I stand corrected.

I am thoroughly enjoying watching Republicans stick their chests out in indignation over this. The fact of the matter is that if the roles were reversed, Bush's camp (led by that arrogant old dinosaur James Baker) would be doing the exact same thing. Nothing Gore has done to challenge this election was illegal, or even pushed the envelope of the applicable laws. Why do you think the notoriously conservative 11th Circuit threw out Bush's effort to foreclose the manual recounts?

I talked with my mother, a state-court judge in Minnesota about this question (i.e., the apparent disconnect and conflict between the FL law enabling a candidate to request a manual recount and the one requiring certified returns within 7 days). She predicted this exact outcome, for the exact reasons enumerated by the FL Supreme Court. Believe it or not, this was not a political decision, but one based on well-settled principles of legislative construction.

I only hope that if Bush et al seriously approach this by empaneling the FL legislature to override the Supreme Court (as Baker has vaguely threatened), the public recognizes the outrageousness of their actions. As I said above, I think all of the righteous outrage in the Republican camp is strictly partisan, and I predict that many Republicans will endorse such an action, as extreme and seemingly unfair as it would be.

 

[Feisters]

A recount isn't the problem. It's the second, third, forth. . . recount that's the problem. Every time these ballots are handled introduces errors. The physical ballot itself is mechanically fragile, as is evident by all the chads falling on the floor.

The Court erred by not following the law. Period. Courts are not to make law. They are to enforce law. Period. Instead, they &quot;interpreted&quot; the law in an obviously partisan manner. There is nothing partisan or outrageous about the Bush camp approaching the Florida legislature to override the court's decision. The legislature is the body that makes the law, and they have the authority to instruct the Court as to the intent of the law.

Everyone is talking about &quot;the will of the people&quot;. Well the legislature is the people. Not the courts.

Thank you for making my case, Feisters.

The matter is not so much that Gore's persistant actions are ILLEGAL persay, but more so that they lack the maturity and honor that one might expect (but surely never see) from a political figure. This is not to say that Mr. Bush and his committees would not do the exact same thing in the Democrats' place, however I do find it to be rather nauseating that Mr. Gore continues to make an ass (the democratic symbol none the less ;-) ) of himself AFTER conceeding the election to Mr. Bush via that little phone call. At least he could have had the balls to take the defeat that was his according to the process laid out by the United States Constitution; were he a wiser man, perhaps he would have realized that neither he nor Mr. Bush would have been likely to have much impact once in office, due to the 50/50 opinion split of the general public. Just my 2¢...

 

[ride525]

Gee,

Who would think....after one manual recount....we might count the ballots that the machines missed.....

And the guy with the most votes will win.....

 

[fluxquantum]

oh boy..another political thread.

 

[Feisters]

<< Thank you for making my case, Feisters. >>

Tee, how convenient. And just what is your case? That Bush should just stand by while Gore attempts to steal the election? The law says there is a deadline to complete the recount. The Court can not legally change the law! Yet that's exactly what they did by extending the deadline. Only the legislature can make or amend law. What is so hard to understand about that? It's not rocket science. All the Bush team has been trying to do is to make sure that the law is followed to the letter.

I also have to comment on something else you stated in your post:

<< The fact of the matter is that if the roles were reversed, Bush's camp ... would be doing the exact same thing. >>

That is what's known as a gratuitous assumption. It's an invalid statement because there is no way to prove it. You may suspect it would happen. But you can't say that is what would happen.
