Al Gore Lost ... FINALLY!!!

It's about time... Al Gore lost the election for good. The Supreme Court even ruled that the recounts in Florida were unconstitutional. If there's one thing to be grateful this holiday season, its that we won't have to hear Algore for the next 4 years.

Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Well here, have a criticism. Nothing specific, I just don't agree. Have a nice day.

Bad winners are just as bad as sore losers!

Let them gloat, Katie. When the piranha's of the beltway
get hold of Shrub, we'll hear about all the little
peccadillos.

[barrk]

It's going to be an interesting four years....I can't wait until all the military folks around here who think that Shrub is going to give them huge increases in wages, better billeting, better benefits have their eyes opened for them in October (end of fiscal year). They are going to be greatly dissappointed. I'm sure they will find some way to blame it on "the other side" though. They usually do.

Yeah, and just wait until the folks making less than $50K
try to spend the $3.97 tax refund.

[[Digital-X-Treme]]

The US claims to be a 'Democratic Republic', yet the court ruled saying that no more recounts will be undertaken What is the deal with this?!?! ALL the votes in question should be counted again, at whatever cost... Then we're talking 'democracy'...

Later

democracy in America has breathed it's last breath. It's up to us to give it CPR to see if we can revive it. I've not much hope actually. I think Australia is looking better every day.

You're hyperventilating, Katie. This is by no means the
first time post-election nit-picking technicalities
have decided an election. It isn't even the first time
it's happened to the presidency (Check out Aaron Burr's run
for the presidency). THAT was a constitutional crisis.
This is just petty chicanery at a very high level.

We'll survive Dubya. He can't be any less intellectual
than Reagan.

[barrk]

You do have a point there DerFarm. I am getting a little tense. I sit in a room full of people who think they have finally grasped the holy grail or something by Bush winning. It's all just getting a bit much. I know we will survive. It just shouldn't be this hard to come to work everyday. These people are normally very intelligent. It just amazes me that they can't see beyond their party affiliation and recognize the blow this whole thing has been to our country. Much worse than Bill Clinton's sexual escapades..those should have affected no one outside his family..it was turned into a circus...if they want to debate morality they should make sure that they have looked in their own closets first. Sex is just sex. Our government is another thing entirely. It affects it's people much more deeply..why can't they see this?

You see it at work. I live it everywhere except my house.
This is how I felt a few weeks ago when I started to go
hysterical.

The reality is that neither candidate is THAT much
different from the other.

Bush CAN appoint virulently anti-abortion supreme court
justices but he probably won't. The support level for
those kind of actions just isn't there...even in the
Republican party. Any who think otherwise are single issue
radicals that believe their own press. Besides, You got to
have a majority of the Senate to appoint. Wouldn't be the
first time judges got run through the ringer and not
approved.

What goes round, comes round. The economy is beginning to
tail out. This does not mean that there will be a
depression, but it does mean that there will quite likely
be a "correction" affecting the employment status of a lot
of people. Probably about the time of the next elections.

Lots can change. Be of good cheer. I've been around
politics and social action for quite a while. Trust me,
it's been worse.

[barrk]

Thanks for the reality check DerFarm. I just have had it this week. I know it will calm down once the gloating period is over. I never thought I'd say this but thank god the congress is split so evenly. It will at least help to keep the radicals on either side at bay somewhat.

Jeb Bush ensured that the right result would happen....oh he's the village idiots brother....ok well the female returning officer.....oh she dates some one in the bush camp.


What are you guys doing there, running some sort of banana republic or what.

[Sophtware]

Bush is a joke... plain and simple...

I still find it interesting that florida had all the trouble that it did and who is the gov. of florida? jeb BUSH.

What is wrong republicans? cant win an election without cheating?? hehehe

Elections? We make the biggest jokes in democracy.

We have free and fair elections and still manage to elect a dickhead like Howard. Still we should get rid of the mentally challenged drop kick next year.

Geroge W. Bush at his victory speech:

In the year 1800.. when our 3rd president thomas jefferson became president...

That sounds a tad off if my history serves me correct..

George washington was our first president in 1776...

And every presidential term is four years.... so just for the sake of argument, let's say that george washington served two terms (which i do not know if he did or not)
that would be eight years in office.. which would make it 1784 when geroge washington finished his stay in office... so then comes along president #2 (which i dont know who it is) let's say again for the sake of argument that this president also served two terms.. that would bring us to 1792... so that means (accoring to president elect Bush)
we had 8 years without a president... 8 years of total chaos and unorganization.. 8 years of leaderless stupdity...
then (accoring to bush) thomas jefferson came in and saved the nation in the year 1800.


And this is who you choose as your represenative you republicans? oo boy..we are going to have a great 4 years ahead of us... *yippe*

Thanks republicans

[Sophtware]

Notice that i did mention on more than one occasion in my last post that i was *unsure* of certain things..which led me too believe that you would understand that i do not know all of that facts... i was just gooing by what i know...

Thank you for correcting/pointing me in the right direction
so i could find the appropriate information.

[LAURENS]

Well, the papers are going to count the remaining ballots. So we'll see if Gore actually lost or simply has been cheated out of the White House.

[Dror from Detroit]

Here's part of a song I'm working on:

Al Gore and Joe, it's time for them to go.
George Bush and Dick, the Supreme Court's pick.

[Sophtware]

Another thing republicans cant do...



They are not very musically inclined
as the above post proves my point.
