WHY WE HATE BUSH (It's the Stolen Election, Stupid)

My response to this whacky article: "WHY WE HATE BUSH (It's the Stolen Election, Stupid)"

Here is a reality check for those with liberal blinders. There was no crime scene, nothing was 'stolen'. Bush won, Gore lost...and there is evidence that hard core liberals, including Ted, lost their sanity in result. Maybe their lost sanity is what they should blame Bush for?

Facts are facts, as Gore filed court papers in an obvious effort to reverse the outcome of the election based in Florida. Gore officially lost that election, and out of desperation he pursued a ridiculous court challenge...and he lost AGAIN. Bush simply responded to debunk Gore's challenge to recount votes, which limited the ballot recount to be conducted in select democratic majority counties.

Liberals are obviously stubborn about this election war, there have been numerous unofficial recounts based on Gore's original recount plan for select counties. These silly recounts spanned over two years afterwards. Each and every recount attempt put Bush on top...if that should matter. However, IF Gore won any one of those recounts at any point then the Bush-haters would make this into some outrageous circus...which by all accounts would describe them as "Stupid".

The "stupid" label should belong on those who don't understand the basic historical fact that Bush OFFICIALLY WON the election. There is nothing to dispute that fact (period!).

Leftist liberals - especially Marxists, like Ted - NEED to get over election 2000, and stop spinning some fantasy. Perhaps their strategy is to gain some sort of sympathy vote from moderate liberals in 2004. Like that is going to help the promise of Dean, ha, ha! (That is IF Socialist Dictator Dean actually wins the Demo nomination).

I agree. Why would we want to be like the DUers who only post things that speak glowingly about fat Clinton, and dismiss all conservatives as Nazis without even scanning what they write?

"Time to dust off the F word. "Whenever people start locking up enemies because of national security without much legal care, you are coming close [to fascism]," warns Robert Paxton, emeritus professor of history at Columbia University and author of the upcoming book "Fascism in Action."

A couple of other great American "fascists" who also locked up their opposition in America : President Wilson and Abraham Lincoln.

The author of the article seems to believe that prior elections were just outright won by the voters/electoral college.

Nixon conceded to Kennedy when Alabama votes were in question.

Cleveland, 1888, won the popular vote with 48.6% , but lost the electoral vote to Harrison by 233 to 168.

"Because every day some Democrat seems to make a manic or totally over-the-top statement about George Bush, the Republican party, and the state of the nation today."

Hey, Ted -- thanks for proving David Brooks right.

The liberals searched with a fine tooth comb. Gore definitely lost. Uber-liberals like Hillary Clinton concede this. So does Al Gore. Anybody who thinks otherwise is delusional.

As far as I'm concerned, Gore lost without question. More than one study has showed that when the networks falsely called Florida for Gore and started saying, "It's all but impossible mathematically for Bush to win now," anywhere from one to three MILLION Bush supporters in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones either left their place in line at their polls or stayed home, convinced the election was already over. If it hadn't been for the networks' lies to the public "mistakes", Bush would have won a clear, unquestionable victory both in total votes and in electoral votes. It wouldn't have been a blowout, but it would have been decisive.

(After all, it's all about DIVINING THE INTENT OF THE VOTERS, not the actual ballots cast, right?)

ABC NEWS ADMITS BUSH TECHNICALLY WON 2001 ELECTION:

This video was taped on Veterans Day, 2001 on ABC; in my view, the most liberal broadcast network out there. This news broadcast was aired after ABC premiered Saving Private Ryan. In it you will see that they admit if the Supreme Court would have allowed a recount of Florida votes, Bush would have still won the presidency. The clip here starts with 2 stories prior to the announcement. I left them in to verify that this is not a hoax. It is about 1 minute long.

What's the point? The liberal rhetoric heard especially this week of the 2004 Democratic Convention is that George Bush stole the 2001 election. Yet, the most liberal network broadcaster admits here that technically, Bush did not. It is now 7/30/04 1:30am General Mountain Time, and I really should be asleep. But post 9/11 politics are so distracting that I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP anymore or get any personal work done! AAARGH! This Democratic Convention was so disgusting; it makes my heart sick! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I've got to unplug my radio and television to protect my mental and emotional health. Why is it that the most divisive issue in our time is 9/11? Answer: LIBERALISM.
