Thread Name: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
I guess Michael Moore doesn't make any money at all from his filmmaking ventures? He's standing up for the working class? That's just about as logical as --- what's his name, John Edwards? ---- the guy who wants to run for President who's a millionaire lawyer who "stands up for the working class." Right, and I've been to the moon.

Let's get something straight here. Presidents don't get elected in the US by the popular vote. They get elected by the Electoral College, which is laid out pretty plain in the Constitution.

George W. Bush wasn't the first President to land in the office this way. I believe there was a similar situation early in US history - with John Adams, perhaps? I don't remember. I will have to go look it up. But the 2000 election was not unprecedented.

Conveniently all of you have forgotten that Bill Clinton didn't have the "popular" vote, either. Less than 50% of the people who voted elected him.

As far as the war being fraudulent, did any of you see the press conference this morning? The General said that some of the missiles fired by Iraqi troops were missiles they said they didn't have.

People, put your emotions away for a little while and take a look at the facts. Throw away everyone else's opinions but your own, and examine your own thoughts very carefully. There are too many of you here just jumping on the bandwagon without giving it any real consideration.
