Thread Name: BS: So Who is Our New President?
Subject: RE: BS: So Who is Our New President?
Septic er, Skeptic(sorry there) I never mentioned a vast liberal media conspiracy. I simply stated my opinion based what I have seen and read.
Of course the press is sensationalistic. It is no longer driven by a wish to inform but by profit margins and market shares. My examples are not anecdotal but are there for anyone to read or-more likely- view.
The ballot problems in Seminole and Marin(?) Co.'s are even now being investigated by the courts and this fact is being carried in the conservative press.
Why hasn't Bush asked for a recount in Republican counties? I don't know.
If the shoe had been on the other foot, I'm pretty sure Gore would be doing everything humanly posible to hang onto his lead. As it is, the reports are that he has investigators out trying to find dirt on the Fla. electors to see if any of them can be "persuaded" to change their vote. Sweet guy.
The votes that Bush is trying to stop being counted are NOT legal, valid votes. I'm sorry but a dimpled chad does not qualify as a legal valid vote no matter how you spin it.
Those votes were counted twice by machine and the rejected votes were counted again and when Gore STILL couldn't find enough votes to win, they started counting dimpled chads.
Fla. law is pretty clear that the votes will be in and certified by five o'clock on the seventh day after the election. Ms.Harris tried to follow the law. Should she have recused herself because she's a Republican?
If so, by that logic, so should the supervisors and canvassers in South Fla. since they are Democrats.
I don't like Bush. I like Gore even less. Our choices this time were limited in the extreme.
Better luck next time.
