Reliving the Florida recount (TV movie produced by Democrats)

Reliving the Florida recount

One of the most highly anticipated political telefilms being released next year is “Recount,” a fast-paced depiction of the behind-the-scenes drama that took place in Florida during the disputed 2000 Gore-Bush election.

[snip]

Earlier this year, the possibility was raised that this “Recount” might be swayed and history rewritten because writer Strong and executive producers Paula Weinstein and Sydney Pollack, as well as HBO Films President Colin Callender, are all Democratic supporters.

“There have been many incarnations of the script,” the HBO representative said in response to questions about literary license taken in the film.

Still, HBO expects many of the real-life figures featured in the film will help promote the project once they see a final cut.

“We’re veterans in doing these projects,” said the HBO rep. “We’ve done our homework.”

Actually, it's a three-sentence story:

1. Gore tried to steal the 2000 election.

2. The Florida Supreme Court tried to help him steal it.

3. The US Supreme Court said "NO!".

Dems and their narcissism lunacy about 2000 elections. Gore tried to steal the election. End of telefilm.

My problem with the 2000 elections is that the courts should have let the political process run as stated in the Constitution. Bush would have won, he had the electors. Unfortunately, the FL courts are so corrupt and biased to Dems, they made unconstitutional decisions, so there was little choice but for the Supreme Court to step in. Our court system is broken.

Before that moment, Algore campaign staff were outraged because the massive fraud hadn't worked.

Could we please start a pool of our own money to finance movies that tell our point of view?

I can’t see the average TV viewer having any interest whatsoever in watching a movie based on this...

A new bad-film category will be created for this kind of left-wing propaganda: the “TURKEY BOMB”.

The media tired to suppress the Conservative vote by calling Florida for Gore before the western(and more Conservative)polls closed.

Gore lost.

The media and Dems stirred up a bunch of old folks.

Recount. Gore Lost. Recount. Gore Lost. Insert Dem corruption to steal the election. Supreme Court stops the mess.

Bush wins.

Any Democrat voters watchng it won't be able to figure out what is going on and us Republicans will just get pissed watching it because we know Gore tried to steal the election.

Mr. Global Warmed over conceeded the election, then tried to conceed his concession. He got the Florida Supreme Court to overturn the Florida Constitution on the matter, driving it all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the U.S. Supreme Court had not put an end to Albert Bore's shenanigans all state constitions would have become malieable throughout any election, throwing the process into chaos.

The title should not be RECOUNT, but RECOUNTS as the Democrats continued to redefine the standard by which votes would be tallied (or rejected) until they had enough votes to “win” (they never did reach that tally).

Of course they’re going to show us the part where the Gorons went out of their way to try and disallow military overseas absentee ballots through technicalities those servicemen had no control over. Probably in one second of the movie, like a flash card but my guess the movie makers will avoid the subject like the plague.

HBO = Hate Bush Often.

Let me guess. This will be televised just before the 2008 election.

Will they show how dimpled chads are created when a stack of ballots are all hit with a single pin at the same time?

Wondering how many times they'll air it between release and the 2008 elections?
Or, if they'll just hold it until about October 27?

But I'm sure that would be entirely coincidental.
