My HBO free pass from DirecTV expired just in time....today!
The facts will be in short supply in coming days. Remembering them and reminding the ignorant that the vaunted Democrat Party is the party of liers and cheats. Remember on Memorial Day that the only votes that any party worked to ensure were not counted were the absentee votes of America’s military. The people who did this are the real Democrat Party and they are to be reviled and condemned.
Well from what I’ve read they’re light on the facts as usual - is the word bias?
I guess this movie is what the libs need for closure.
So who won American Idol?
< /sarc not off>
.......2000 was the Dem trying to steal an election and now history ......
My impression is that the Dims were pulling out all the stops to the max and fighting tooth and nail legally and illegally in what amounted to a coup attempt.
What about those military ballots that were being rejected? Do the dims ever worry about THOSE disenfranchised voters?
The Dems tried to count these so-called “spoiled ballots” as votes for Gore, on the basis that people simply meant to vote for Gore, but messed up their ballots. From this scam came the Democrats line “count ALL the votes”. Republicans should have responded with “count all the LEGITIMATE votes”.
As a result, I will find it difficult to leave any offices blank on my ballots in the future. I would propose that every office on every ballot should include an extra block of “no vote”. Democrats would never go for that though. Just like requiring voters to show ID’s, it takes away their potential for fraud.
Sincerely,
Hillary Clinton
I lurked then, that’s what got me here in the first place.
Ikept the /sarc off because the Sheep could care less these days, as long as they can still watch Oprah/Wheel/Jepoardy/Idol/Dancing-with-the-Stars.
Kind of a bread and circuses thing the Left does, you know...
HBO just wanted to cleanse its palate of the John Adams series, being the pro-liberty, pro-Founder, pro-American vision that it was...
I’m sure HBO showed the laimstream media declaring Gore the winner of Florida at 6:49 PM central .
Docudramas of this sort normally would put info on the screen at the end, explaining that recounts by various media showed Bush did in fact win.
Also, they say the Supreme Court ordered a stay which made it impossible to count by Dec 12, and then ruled there was no time left to count so thw election was over. No, the Supreme Court stayed a recount of only some votes, which was not being conducted uniformly across the state. The SC overwhelmingly found that the recount was violating equal protection. The SC did not create the problem by ordering a stay.
“If you were on this board back then you know the truth .. 2000 was the Dem trying to steal an election and now history”
Al Gore was simply on a vote shopping expedition with a compliant and very political Florida judiciaries assistance - changing the rules after the votes were recorded and doing so only for those counties Gore was vote-shopping in
at no time did Gore seek to “correct” anything about the voting statewide or seek a statewide count on any new basis
the entire time he was seeking to squeeze a few more votes out of some Dim-dominant counties, and forcing the state total to be adjusted therewith
the Florida judiciary went along with the vote shopping expedition and the U.S. Supreme Court - twice - told them - the courts - to knock it off
the judges antics in support of Gore were not only set in opposition to the Florida state constitution, they had the affect of disenfranchising all the voters of all the counties the judicial rulings were not to apply to, setting one class of voters - those who Gore wanted to go shopping for - as deserving of general rules for vote counting that were not to be applied to all Florida voters - thus the “equal protection” clause was violated by the Gore-judicial-assisted cherry picking
regardless, in accordance with the Florida and U.S. Constitutions, the Florida legislature had already certified the winner of the Florida vote in the constitutionally required time frame
four years later the Florida voters vindicated the U.S. Supreme Court decision (maybe, in part, because the people in the Florida panhandle did not hear the game was over before they voted that time - as they did in 2000)
