The 2000 presidential election day ended without a clear winner between Texas Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. It all came down to Florida, which was too close to call. State law required close contests to go through a recount, and some counties handled it better than others.
Miami-Dade County was identified by Democrats as a county where Gore could pick up new votes in a recount. Although state law required full recount of the countys 654,000 ballots, the Democrat-controlled canvassers instead focused on 10,750 ballots that had been rejected for one reason or another or where no clear pick could be identified for president.
Then the canvassers tried to determine intent using their own subjective feelings. For instance, if a voter had by and large picked Democrats for other seats, or if a canvasser could claim he saw an indentation where the chad could have been punched out for Gore, they would count that as a Gore vote. They didnt recount Cuban-American precincts that overwhelmingly went for Bush and where he might pick up new votes.

What those feckless GOP representatives don’t understand is not only will they be handing the government over to Democrats, but they will be consigning themselves to a minimum of 40 years in the wilderness.
If they don't get real strong, real fast, at stopping the coup, the nation as we know it is through. Let the Dems have it.
RINOcrat = gutless coward.
Limbaugh was on fire this week.
“Hell yeah...”what about responding to GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN Robert F’n Stalin-like, Mao-like, Chavez-like O’Rourke? Yep, that’s what I thought.
I suspect many of them will switch sides and join the Rats against us. Many of the rest will just become a token loyal opposition and sit back in the comfy chairs.
Good to hear. HOORAY Rush! I heard the first 20 minutes of the 2nd hour and he was fabulous!
If they don’t fight this they die.
Because they will have proven once and for all they are worthless and need to be replaced.
Whoa! I haven’t seen your name in a long time. It’s very good to see you.
I could not agree more! I wish there was a way us "Deplorables" could fight other than just voting and raising our voices on internet forums. I don't believe contacting our senators and representatives does any substantive good. And while it's great to contribute what we can to the President's reelection campaign, that also is not really fighting.
I wish people with the national organizational skills and financial resources would organize some kind of nationwide protest.
This isnt about President Trump. This goes way beyond him. The Progressives see this as a chance to steamroll traditional American values of economic freedom and individual liberty
Most are dirty along with the rats in all of this, they are running out the clock, keeping a close eye on all things Trump and secretly supporting what is going on. They don’t care and probably would prefer a rat take over. It would be back to the old usual routine
Couldn't agree more. We need a much more muscular response. Those who would overthrow the government and their GOP fellow travelers need to receive a message that they will not be able to enjoy the fruits of their treachery. A million patriots with torches and pitchforks in DC would be a start and a large group that would surround the Capitol during any show trial would demonstrate resolve. The future of the country is on the line if President Trump is removed.
We’re about to learn just how many liberal Democrats register and run as Republicans so they can oppose incumbent Democrats and still maintain Democrat control of our government.
I think people forget or never knew the GOP was the “Loyal Opposition” for many years.
Pretty much need to be a child of the 40’s to have witnessed their previous days in the Desert.
lol... Well thanks!! I lurk from time to time to see whats up here. Hope you’ve been well...
Unfortunately, for them it is more a question of “what’s in it for me?”
Molly should know by now that the globalist RINO NeverTrumpers would far rather lib-Dems dominated all 3 branches of government than Trump win a second term. Theyve made it quite clear.
