He meant to say that there are liberals that say Bush was never elected, that he was point in there by a judge and that he stole the election from Al Gore.

Well in hindsight we should be thanking those judges.
Al Gore lost a screw somewhere along the line.

Al Gore lost the election..disappeared and got born again as the spokesman for Global Warming/Cooling/whatever.
Al Gore got exposed at climategate in Copenhagen ...he's disappeared again.

Who will he be when he emerges next time ?

Who cares who Mubarek appoints as his new VP. This has nothing to do with us. This guy was supposedly a good personal friend to Mubarek. It's not like he appointed Bush to VP.

You're really reaching here....

Then, of course all of the other shenanigans started with the Brooks Brothers brigade, the antics of the Flor Gov Jeb Bush & Kath Harris, the Secty of State. Gore's PR and strategy was not as sophisticated as Bush's. They should have requested a recount for ALL of the counties, not just the ones where they felt that they could gather extra uncounted votes. Liebermann made a mistake when he commented that the "late" military votes should be counted, etc. The presentation and processing of the electoral votes to the Fed Electoral commission should have been a State issue, not Federal. The Supreme Court slipped its way in to win one for their boy and our country sure paid for it: 2 unnecessary wars, 9-11 attack, unfunded Part D mandate, high unemployment and inflation, erosion of civil liberties in our personal lives and at the airports. The list goes on.

2004 is a little harder to contest. Bush had the electoral votes necessary to claim the Presidency, but how did he get them? Did Diebold rig the machines in Ohio as they claimed that they would? Why did predominately poorer voting polls have far fewer machines to cast votes? I am certain that the Bush campaign and Ohio Secty of State used every immoral, illegal means necessary to win the Ohio vote. Bush campaign set it up right and won it- that's politics.

Yeah, we wouldn't want the people in our military to actually have a say in who is the next President, now would we?

I haven't read anything about sending our "enemies" to foreign soil to "question"/torture them lately.
I do read some English language papers from outside of the US.

You don't think that affects the US?
Well perhaps the One should place a call to Egypt and complain. He is ,after all, the President. Bush hasn't been President for some time now.

I rest my case, just when you think people couldn't possibly be THAT stupid someone comes along to prove you wrong.

"Gore's PR and strategy was not as sophisticated as Bush's."


Hmm, I thought Gore conceded the election, then later decided to challenge (cherry-pick) individual precincts. What is "sophisticated" about counting the votes in all the FL precincts?



"The Supreme Court slipped its way in to win one for their boy and our country sure paid for it: 2 unnecessary wars, 9-11 attack, unfunded Part D mandate, high unemployment and inflation, erosion of civil liberties in our personal lives and at the airports. The list goes on."


So, who do you like in 2012 since you would never vote for anyone who would expand the Afghan War, "mandate" new spending, continue the practice of rendition, authorize heavy petting by the TSA and renew the Patriot Act.


As for 9/11, that was underway for five full years while Bubba was allowing a 25% attrition rate at the CIA and making sure we never used unsavory individuals for intelligence gathering. I would think after the first attacks on the WTC in 1993 and all the following attacks by the very same al Qaeda, Clinton would have doubled-down on intelligence. I guess that's why I'm a conservative.
