Cherie [Blair] said Bush 'stole' power and tackled him on executions

Nothing is more amusing than assertions, especially from foreigners, that Bush "stole" the election in some alternative reality where the Electoral College and actual constitutional procedures for selecting presidents does not exist. Apparently plenty of Americans, starting with the Democrat party and Al Gore himself, are ignorant of this process. Every schoolkid is supposed to know that it's possible to lose the popular vote and still become president.

As for Iraq's "missing WMD's," it's unfortunate that free countries have inadequate propaganda ministries, else the Americans could blast the truth out loud into every outlet-- the Russians dismantled Saddam's weapons at the last minute when it became obvious the invasion couldn't be staved off through the UN Security Council, duh.

The supreme court prevented Gore from stealing the election

As far as the death penalty there is an argument that is legitimate over the danger of convicting and killing the wrongly convicted. But the leftist argument that it is "inhumane" is BS. People who murder and are sentenced to death deserve to be killed. Period. And anybody who feels sorry for them is an idiot.

Mrs. Blair is a moron.

the supreme court prevented Gore from stealing the election.

Murderers deserve to die (if she likes our murderers so much why doesn't she volunteer to have them come live with her)

And the war in Iraq prevented hundreds of thousands of brutal murders and tortures that would have followed had Hussein or one of his kids continued to rule.

The liberals like her should be happy that blood too is not on their hands for they already have more than enough.

Miss Marple and I have noted here on FR that this is a quite common liberal quality. My latest example, of several I have encountered, is a family member attending the family Christmas dinner wearing a Dennis Kucinich t-shirt with HUGE lettering.

... or, as in my own case: my wife's ultra-uberliberal uncle arriving here last Thanksgiving, as a three-day guestl and spending virtually the entire seventy-two hours hectoring and yammering on the topic of how "George Bush stole the election of '00," and "George Bush ought to be impeached," and "you need to get more of your news from genuinely impartial web sites, like MoveOn.org," and so on, and so (endlessly) on.

Blithely, arrogantly, and non-stop... in a room full of wincing, clearly aggravated conservatives serving as his HOSTS, mind.

We won't be repeating that mistake next year.

why in the Hell does the Left get a pass?

The Blairs ARE the left...

Laura's from a mostly died in the wool democratic family.

That was decades ago. There were generations of conservative yellow dog DemocRATS in Texas up until the 1990s. As the DemocRAT party veered more and more to the left beginning in the 1960s, most of the yellow dog DemocRATS left the DemocRAT party.

[PISANO]

And what information does Ms. Blair have that GW stole the election? She obviously is a screaming leftist who will NEVER let the FACTS get in her way!

[bootless]

Good grief, how tacky!

I cannot imagine Laura Bush embarrassing her husband in public.

You're waaaaaaaaay overestimating the man in ''men''.

I've spoken to liberal friends in Texas practically in tears asking what happened to all the Democrats in the state? Dumbheads. They were conservative Democrats (many of them racist by today's standards, of course).

Isn't it amazing? And there we go, biting our tongues to preserve family harmony.

Amazing.

Well, with comments like yours I can't say I'm pleased that this thread is getting such attention.

It does not reflect well on the forum.

A discussion broke out at my house last Thanksgiving. I welcome it. Things were fairly cordial until my sister blasted the invasion of Iraq as ... cruel to Iraqis! I'm afraid I busted a blood vessel ranting about torture, mass murder, rape rooms. I had to retire to a bedroom and pet the cat for a while.
