New Freeper to Old guys 11/21/00, We won but FL Supremes ruled 4 Gore,Where did u put your efforts

[steve0]

Without giving away the store, what did you old Freepers do after we won, when the chips were down because Gore wouldn't concede? What did you do in response to November 21, 2000, when the Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gore. I'm sure some then then felt all was lost. What did you do then to persevere and ensure that Gore didn't steal the election? If conservatives didn't have the resolve to appeal to the Supreme Court, Gore may have prevailed. I pray that if we are in a similar situation McCain will have the resolve to fight it all the way. Its seems like it will be worse this time as Gore Vidal(Buckley's nemesis) says not to concede and many leftist want blood in the street. I hope there are plans in place as it seems like the RNC could have done better in some areas especially this year such as in opposition research.

When we win and the dems sue to overturn our win we need to act swiftly. If Mac won't fight, then the 3rd party candidates should be asked to join a lawsuit against the one on the issue of eligibility.

Here is Dems presumptive lawsuit info here: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/florida/story/753542.htmlI saw the timeline here: http://www.uselectionatlas.org/INFORMATION/ARTICLES/pe2000timeline.php

In Novemeber of 2000 Freepers stood outside of the Veep mansion with signs and chanted:

“Get out of Cheney’s house!”

“Get out of Cheney’s house!”

“Get out of Cheney’s house!”

and I thought this is a group that is for me!

Some FReepers were among those who raised a ruckus when the Donks tried to take the counting behind closed doors.

That Sore Loserman sign was designed by a (now former) FReeper. He made up some files that could be downloaded & printed.

Some news organizations were FReeped (FReeper protests).

Ok good idea. What do you think about starting conversations with 3rd parties?

What do you think about starting conversations with 3rd parties?

You could. In 2000 some of them stepped forward on their own, Nader's people in particular. Donks had over played their hand trying to get him scrubbed from some state ballots.

We gave $$$ for the legal challenge campaign.

I must have called a hundred people that called our congressman and senators to stop this nonsense. We supported Katherine Harris back then!

“FreeRepublic.com scored a masterstroke with its lampoon of the Gore-Lieberman campaign logo, reborn in the same colors and typeface as "Sore-Loserman 2000," complete with a tiny crybaby's tear drop dangling from the red swoosh featured in the Democrats' official graphic. Bush voters downloaded this image from the Internet and printed it on placards they waved in the sunshine. Sore-Loserman signs appeared earlier this week on my hotel TV in London — and everywhere else.” – Deroy Murdock, National Review Online, 11/30/2000.

I had a small role in the 2000 post election fight. There are a lot of old hands who were part of that effort, so our army is experienced and ready, but the battlefield is not yet set. Florida may be out of the mix.

November 2000 I got my family in the car and drove to the West Palm Beach Board of county supervisors building where with about 5000 of my best friends we protested the continuing recounts, and in favor of G.W. Bush.
There were two brave fools seriously carrying algore signs and the crowd was good naturedly laughing our tails off at them.
