Still Steaming: A pair of filmmakers dredges up all the rage and frustration of Election 2000

Ross and Yarock found no takers among elected officials, all of whom just wanted to "move on."

But...but isn't that what the Clinton supporters used to say during the Impeachment---"Move On?" They even started a website by that name---MoveOn.Org. So why can't these film makers just "Move On?" Instead they are still stewing angrily in Election 2000 when Election 2004 is just around the corner.

"I think at this point, from a legal standpoint, the election's over," Deutsch summed up, though later that evening, while casually chatting with two attendees, he declared that "it isn't even debatable that more people in Florida intended to vote for Al Gore when they went to the voting booth than intended to vote for George Bush."

What a bunch of losers!

[OldFriend]

What a pathetic bunch of losers and liars.

We're asking for a federal investigation of voting fraud in the state, and I want to know why the Democrats are doing nothing about it,"

Because Bush won.

Personally, I'd like there to be an investigation too. I think it would should all sorts of voting irregularities perpetrated by the Democrats.

[John Valentine]

It is difficult to see who is the bigger losers, the idiots written about in this piece of tripe, or the loser that authored it.

Nitwits, all.

[MEG33]

The 2000 election is on the Dems talking points list..comparing the recall petition and coming election to the recount.

[PJ-Comix]

I wonder if these film makers interviewed the DEMMYCRAT election official who was caught in Palm Beach county with a votomatic machine and a whole bunch of ballots in his possession? Remember that?

[My2Cents]

Now, from a couple of other Democrats (these from Jay Nordlinger's file on National Review Online) --

Democrat #1 -- "Dear Mr. Nordlinger: I don't know if it's a trend, but consider this: I have voted for every Democrat that ran for office, starting with McGovern and ending with Gore in the last election. I will be voting for Bush in this one, regardless of who is on the other side. I will also be voting Republican in local elections.

"The Democratic party is totally bankrupt, full of personal vendetta and hatred. They have no ideas on what they would do in power, only what they don't want the Republicans to do. I do not trust them with the security or the future of this country anymore.

"When I voted for Clinton, I felt the country deserved him. We didn't deserve the best. I don't feel that way anymore. I want someone who stands for the things that this country stands for, someone who has read the Constitution and isn't interested in living under the U.N. Charter. I want to vote for someone who understands that those of us out of work right now want jobs, not unemployment extensions. I am not hearing anything from the Democrats that leads me to believe that they get it."

Democrat #2 -- "Mr. Nordlinger, I wrote to you in April and said how I as a lifelong Democrat was planning to vote for President Bush next year. Well, my plans have changed. Not about voting for Bush but about continuing to be a Democrat. I made the switch and became a Republican last week. I believe Ronald Reagan is credited with saying, 'I didn't leave my party; my party left me.' That's not nearly strong enough a sentiment for how I feel now. The Democrats didn't just leave me; they're driving away at full speed into oncoming traffic. The Democratic party has gone off the deep end and is being taken over by the extreme Left. And by extreme, I don't mean Mondale/Dukakis liberal; I mean people who would rather have the United States meet with disaster than have Bush succeed. These people need to be kept as far from the levers of power as possible."

"I don't think the people have moved on one bit from the election,"

El Rushbo was talking about this today - they just cannot, or will not, get over it.

Now what did I do with that Official DemoRat Seal picture...

I'm glad SCOTUS was there and ruled like they did. The state SC's have went whacko - Floriduh's in 2000, Cali's, Nevada's recently - overturning the voter mandated 2/3 budget vote.

Not very pleasant to think about...

Heck, they still can't get over the Reagan years. They are obsessive losers.

[Freedom4US]

he declared that "it isn't even debatable that more people in Florida intended to vote for Al Gore when they went to the voting booth than intended to vote for George Bush."

It may not be debateable, but it isn't relevant one iota, and everyone needs to understand that. An election always has spoiled ballots. It's not a perfect process, and there is no provision for a "do-over", this isn't third grade fella - it's the real world - and thankfully more and more Americans finally understand just how dangerous radical leftists really are. We were warned, but failed to take heed.

[Paul Atreides]

I once missed a question on a test (I had left it blank) because I didn't take the time to look over it again before handing it in. It was my fault. Case closed.

[Little Bill]

I made several of these protests, Fla, GA, and Mass, I didn't see these "Hundreds of Thousands", all I saw was Republican thugs and a few cowering Rats.

Rush is right! These people are stuck at 11/2000 - They will have to get over this before they can be effective again. I think the repubs need to be in power for at least 40 years - that way most of these idiots will be gone by then.

[squidly]

it isn't even debatable that more people in Florida intended to vote for Al Gore when they went to the voting booth than intended to vote for George Bush."

I'm ready to debate it if he is.

[PJ-Comix]

Heck, they still can't get over the Reagan years. They are obsessive losers.

I predict the Demmycrats will have a massive MENTAL MELTDOWN when they lose again in '04.

[Paul Atreides]

I look for them to manufacture another fiasco so as to attempt to taint Bush's win, like they did in 2000.

[PJ-Comix]

Do you remember how after Florida was tossed into the Undecided column after being declared for Bush (after being declared to Gore) there suddenly appeared THOUSANDS of ballots almost all of which were overwhelmingly for Gore? I wish we could see a videotape of that so we can refresh our memories as to where the REAL voting fraud was coming from. The Gore people's mistake was to believe the early forecast that he won Florida. At that point they relaxed their vote fraud efforts only to revive it when Florida went back into contention again. It was AMAZING the high percentage of those LATE ballots that night that went to Gore.

[Paul Atreides]

How many people go home saying to themselves "I think I accidentally voted for the wrong guy."? Those ballots were tested and there were no problems. Then, there was that equipment found in that Dim's car. I will always believe that corrupt Albore attempted to steal the election. He just didn't count on W not backing down.
