Alessandra Stanley's brain

The New York Times is known for inserting their bias into reportage where it doesnt belong. This is the kind of BS that passes for journalism, for example, use a weather story to bash Bush about climate change policy. The New Yorker is infamous for it as well, full-blown BDS page after page in just about any story. My God, the New York intelligensia must have spent the last 6 years thinking about the many ways they hate Bush.
This is a great example of such an obsession leading to an absurdity.
Alessandra is a real nut-job commie, and every time she’s exposed as such, she just gets worse.
Last ratings I saw, "American Idol" was on top.
If people were really that upset about the result of the 2000 election, we would have seen mass protests and riots in the streets. In reality, most Americans took it in stride.
One other thing that did NOT happen: There was no huge push to eliminate the electoral college. If there were really a groundswell of discontent over the election outcome, we would have seen a serious move to change the system. No one even talks about that anymore. Of course, if Kerry had taken Ohio, and the presidency, in 2004 while losing the national vote, these far left whiners would have been quite content.

Television Voting Rights?
He’s got problems right at the beginning of that paragraph, 04 turn out was huge. Kerry got more votes than any candidate before and still managed to lose. 12 million more votes were cast in 2004 than in 2000. OK we still haven’t cracked 50% of the overall populace but 2004 is a bad year to pick for people not turning out to vote.
OK, so which Idol contestant is Alessandra voting for, and how often? The only way this nutjob analysis makes any sense is that she has cooked up some desperate rationalization for why she is speed-dialing the Idol number for two hours every Tuesday. “It’s because I got disenfranchised in 2000! Yeah, that makes sense!”
I am a Democrat who voted for Gore in the 2000 election. Although initially disappointed with the results (I later changed my mind), I did, in fact, take the results in stride and never felt that the election was stolen.
One thing that the left has never noticed: There were only three states that changed hands (parties) between the 2000 and 2004 elections: Iowa, New Mexico and New Hampshire. All were very close both times. But Bush won Florida fairly substantially in 2004: 52% to 47%, if memory serves me correctly. This indicates to me that he probably did win in 2000 (and if the state hadn’t been called prematurely for Gore, he would’ve won by a larger margin).
