I always get a kick out of the libs who say Bush stole the election when in fact it was the Algore who tried to steal it and was
prevented from doing so.
Who asked Jesse Jackson to come down to Florida to stage a fake protest about blacks being turned away at the polls?
Algore.
Who tried to get overseas ballots disqualified?
Algore
Who used every trick in the book to get unpunched ballot cards recounted in his favor?
Algore
Who used every trick in the book to get ballot cards recounted over and over?
Algore
It was the Algore who started that whole chad crap and it was Algore who tried to steal the election and you can see it on his fat face nowdays.

You forgot the disgusting memo from the DNC telling the Rat lawyers how to get military ballots thrown out. Marc Racicot's news conference revealing this scheme and the memo was priceless - one of the great moments in American history. By the end of the day Holy Joe Lieberman had to renounce the effort. The election was essentially won at that point, the rest of it was just argument.
Rats also conveniently forget that the essential SCOTUS ruling was a 7-2 vote - that the SCOFL-ordered recount violated the 14th Amendment. The 5-4 ruling was on the less important issue, that Florida would not have time to conduct a constitutionally proper statewide recount in time for the state to certify its electors by the constitutionally-mandated deadline of December 13th. That ruling did "end the election," but Bush would have won anyway had the recount been allowed. The SCOTUS simply refused to ignore the plain text of the constitution which required electoral votes to be certified by December 13.
The Rats were "hoist on their own petard" with this ruling. Had they immediately demanded a statewide hand recount with uniform vote-counting standards, it would have survived a GOP legal challenge and been done by Dec. 13. Of course, Bush would have won it, which is why the Rats didn't ask for it in the first place.
