Al Gore's Presidential Legacy

[cegerer]

Thanks to Al Gore, elections in the United States have forever changed. There will never again be an uncontested election. Rather than standing down like Nixon did (in an even closer race against Kennedy) for the good of the country, Gore and his army of trial lawyers put themselves ahead of their country. So now the legacy begins ......

The Democrats - with their hoardes of trial lawyers - have already begun to lay the ground work for a messy election. Yesterday, just 2 blocks from my office in Bay City, Clinton-appointed Liberal Federal Judge David Lawson made an incredibly stupid ruling. In essence, it says that a Michigan voter can show up anywhere they want and their vote for President and Congress must be counted - although their vote for State, local and ballot initiatives won't count . This, less than 2 weeks before the election. Of course, election officials have no idea how to implement the law in that short period. But that was the goal of the Democratic Party and the NAACP who filed the suit.

But why file it in the little town of Bay City? Why not the State capital of Lansing? Or the State population center of Detroit? Well, that would be risky because there are both conservative and liberal judges on those benches! And the Dems didn't know who would be picked to hear their case ...... in Bay City - the Eastern District - there's a Clinton-appointed Democratic lap dog - Lawson! Hmmmmmm ..... let's file the suit there!

So now, it is entirely possible to vote twice for President. Once in your own Precinct and again whereever you show up. There is no mechanism to check for double votes. How could there be? The Dems purposely filed the suit just prior to the election to get this result. I'm sure they've got the lawsuits already written and ready to file as soon as the polls close. The fun is just beginning ......

BTW: Bush leads Kerry 47 to 43 in Michigan as of today - a traditionally heavy union-supported Democratic State.

I don't know which is worse: the Democrats obviously padding votes, or you working so close to such a liberal hotbed.

Anyway, yep - it is reassuring to know lawsuits about the election's results are ready to be filed even without knowing what the results will be.

After what bush pulled last time I would say the dems are smart to adopt the addage that 'the best defense is a good offense'.

Holy monkey balls, get over it. You lost, you lost, you lost. It's that simple. You got LESS votes. If you can't come to grips with that you got a tough row to how ahead.

What do you mean I lost, I wasn't runnong for office.

I think you bush lovers are just still pissed that your guy was selected by his dads right leaning supreme court (and a legal council that included scalia's son) instead of the american public.

What's wrong with enforcing the state election laws? Or doesn't following the law mean anything to liberals unless it's in their favor? Get over it, there were four seperate counts by independent media groups and not one could even remotely be twisted for Gore. Now let's examine what's going on with military absentee ballots not being delivered in time for those guys to vote. But wait!! Can't have those guys vote, they might vote for W, let's disenfranchise them by a technicality while we pass out crack to get more double phantom voters for the DNC.

The more I watch the modern DNC, the less I like the liberal philosophy and the more suspicous I am of their motives and goals.

Those recounts should have performed by state officials to determine the outcome of the election, not the press after the fact, but bush blocked it because he didn't want the will of the people to effect the outcome he wanted. Just in case you missed the story thousands of offical ballots were also lost due to a mysterious plane crash before the press had a chance to examine the remaining ballots.

Those recounts also didn't concider the questionable overseas absentee ballots submitted after the deadline and the thousands of people that were denied their voting rights cause they showed up on our faulty felon list.

Relish in the white wash all you want, but the florida election and the legal shenangans that followed were just as crooked as the man selected to run our country.

PLLLLEASE!

Pull your head out of the sand Creger, your boys have been doing much worse. From Ohios ballot paper-weight requirment, to lil' Jebs magic felon list in Florida, to the ballot tossers in New Mexico, the reps have been waging war on voters accross the land.

We've been pushing for vote reform for years now only have to a GOP dedicated tech company with a no-bid contract provide us with easy to abuse voting machines. No paper needed, brilliant.

Don't blame us man, we're just covering our asses. The difference is we use the law instead of breaking it.

[red-beard]

Miami Herald and a Dozen other Florida newspapers _did_ the recount in Florida. The result: Bush won.

HE WON FLORIDA. He won the election. He did not intimidate voters. he did not create the butteryfly ballot. He did not stand in front of people and hold there hands back so the stylus would not penetrate the cards. These are lies created by Democrats to infuriate voters to "get out the vote".

And don't give me the crap about "count every vote". Gore was the one who had the Military absentee votes thrown out.

Gore lost, not because of Florida. Gore lost because he couldn't even carry his home state.

Actually, you're wrong about that. If the recount had proceeded as planned, and Gore had gotten his wish to recount specified counties, he still would have come up short.

So your perception of bias in the judiciary, correct or not (and face it, it's not - it's just a convenient whipping boy for your loss) is irrelevant. The result's the same either way - W is your President. And rightfully so. He got more votes.

All the illegal recounts, barring counting of military absentee ballots, blatant disregard for FL election law, sounds like hypocritical liberals at work again gnawing at the foundations of our legal system.

"We've been pushing for vote reform for years now only have to a GOP dedicated tech company with a no-bid contract provide us with easy to abuse voting machines. No paper needed, brilliant."

Here's a solution designed specifically for Democrats who seem to have such trouble figuring out how and where to vote!



And here's a quote from Michael Whouley, a hysterical Kerry hack who is running election operations at the DNC: "Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day".

Dont forget the 50,000 plus voter who are registered in both Florida and New York of which an overwhelming majority are Democrates.

[jm951]

I'm waiting to see if that's going to the granddaddy of all October surprises, and why hasn't anyone had the stones to call Kerry on this?

Exposed: Scandal
of double voters

With debate over the 2000 election still raging, thousands of people illegally register in both New York City and Florida, which could swing an election

Some 46,000 New Yorkers are registered to vote in both the city and Florida, a shocking finding that exposes both states to potential abuses that could alter the outcome of elections, a Daily News investigation shows.

[ubiquity0]

But The News found that between 400 and 1,000 registered voters have voted twice in at least one election, a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Why aren't these people being prosecuted? It seems like sending the several hundred double-voters for a 5 year jail term would be a pretty effective deterrent! The evidence is obviously there- I'm all for these people being made an example of.

Glenda Hood, the Florida secretary of state appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2002, created a list of felons to be purged from the voter rolls. But the methodology used to create the list guaranteed few Hispanics, who typically vote Republican in Florida, would be purged, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.

In another problem, The _Miami Herald reported that more than 2,000 convicted felons on the list had regained their voting rights after receiving clemency. Hood has opened an internal investigation.
