You came very close to giving us a Gore Presidency.

Not at all, despite your claims. Let me explain it to you once again. Assuming a non-tainted, non-rigged voting pool, a candidate only gets to count the votes that are FOR that candidate. Votes that are NOT for that candidate are NOT subtracted from that candidate's total.

Your supposition is that my vote belonged to Bush and that I gave it to algore, neither of which is true.

Sometimes it is better to have an aknowledged opponent infront of you in the open than it is to have a hidden on behind you.

As for your Bush smear, everybody knows that Dan Burton's committee is a sieve of information to the liberal press

Case in point.Sometimes it is better to have an aknowledged opponent in front of you in the open than it is to have a hidden on behind you.

Do you really believe that Bush is seeking justice by sandbagging clinton into slumber so that Bush can blindside him later? I'd cheer it if he does, but I don't believe that's what he's doing.

We hollered when clinton abused Executive Privelge. Why accept it now?

Not sandbagging but playing their game. It is a given that any information to Burton's committee will make a bee line to the Washington Post or New York Times "laundry". Bush says no and who puts up the biggest fuss? Barney Frank of all people(a member of Burton's committee)

As you can see the "mainstream press" reported this but has not shown outrage. The reason being if the press screams "outrage", Bush and Ashcroft bring the information out bypassing Burton's committee and making a "spectacle"(i.e a shining light) of the Clinton information. You could say this is a "standoff" at the present moment, but Bush/Ashcroft hold the weapon(the Clinton information).

Clinton and the democrats used Burton's committee, where they would give the misdeeds to Burton, Waxman/Frank faxed the information to the Washington Post and New York Times. The press "launders" the information, and they can say they reported it(from the leaks provided by Waxman/Franks).

You may not like the "game", but Bush/Ashcroft have not let out their best shot and keeping the artillery for when it is needed(i.e 2004).
