what's the world coming to.
I am so sick of media propaganda.
The liberals and Dems. will never get over that election will they?
Why does nobody ever talk about how the Dems. sought to disqualify military absentee ballots in the Florida recount? If you want to do a tit for tat, there’s lots of ammunition to use against the Dems. They aren’t pure as the driven snow when it comes to election mischief. And what can you say about the “butterly ballot” where some people voted for the wrong candidate, and may have cost Al Gore votes? The Florida Democratic party approved that ballot before the election.
Had the supreme court not stopped the re re re re re re recount, Bush still would have won according to the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, and AP.
Sad thing is that most lefties get their world view from movies such as this, the msm and the moonbat blogs.
Oh absolutely! Laura Dern's portrayal
is just like the real thing:

Well Brent you moron, Gore wanted to selectively count votes in counties that were overwhelmingly in his favor to get more votes. He wasn’t interested in recounting votes in counties that leaned the other way. In addition he wanted different rules used for the “under vote” in those same counties that leaned towards him and to continue to use the original rules in the counties that were the other way. In other words, he wanted to cheat. The supreme court put and end to it because it is unconstitutional to purposely count some of the state’s votes differently (apply the law differently) than other parts of the same state - all to slant the outcome.
My first reaction was that this was a BHO movie, not an HBO movie. HBO=Hussein Barack Obama
They did a recount after everything (courtesy of the press)
Bush won
You should read the Laura Dern statements in TV Guide. This woman is not only waaaaay too homely to play Katherine Harris, she is also a complete idiot. I was disappointed in TV Guide for their obvious lean to the left in many of their reviews. I guess anyone with ANY kind of journalism degree lacks the ability to be unbiased. Too bad brains aren’t necessary to be successful in Hollywood or journalism - we might actually see some balance.
HBO is rewriting history to suit their political views.
Ten years from now, you won’t recognize these years in the way they are portrayed.

1. Called the closest election in history way too early for Gore, even before all of the state's polls had closed.
2. Whined about the butterfly ballot even though it was Democrats who had designed, approved, used and counted them.
3. Disenfranchised military overseas ballots, even though the servicemen overseas had totally acted in good faith.
4. Somehow, mysteriously discovered large blocks of Gore votes in at least two precincts in the ensuing recounts.
5. Started hand recounts in heavily Democrat districts, with the idea that they would quit when then had enough to win.
6. Arbitrarily changed the standards of what was a vote when they found that they weren't picking up enough.
7. Attempting to conduct the recounts in secret, while all through the recount process, chads were littering the floor.
8. They tried to disqualify legitimate absentee ballots for one county (Volusia?) on a technicality. Again the voters were acting in good faith.
The Democrats demonized Katherine Harris. Why? The vote took place, Bush won. The mandated recount took place. Bush won. Katherine Harris did what she was legally obligated to do by certifying the election. If she hadn't, the Democrats would have went to court to invalidate the election on that basis.
The Florida Supreme court twice overstepped their bounds. The U.S. Supreme court made the only logical decision that they could make. Mr Gore DID have a right to a full state recount. But only if there had been hearings in advance to determine what the standards of counting would be. There was a date certain specified by the Florida legislature when the state's electoral votes had to finalized. If I recall, that date was 45 minutes after the decision came down.
I'm sure that HBO will cover all this.
To the idiots who researched the movie:
The actual Supreme Court ruling to shut down the recount was 7-2, not 5-4. The myth of the 5-4 is that 2 of the 7 thought there might be time to recount the entire state.
The actual vote WAS 7-2!!
Does anyone really care?

Could anyone really be that stupid?
