The World Trade Center was losing money... George Bush's younger brother Marvin Bush was head of the security company Securacom for the WTC until just before 9/11...

Securacom now named Stratesec, Inc., had contracts to provide security for Dulles International Airport and the World Trade Center in New York.

According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down."

The State of Florida required a recount of ALL counties. Gore fought, in court, for a recount of 4 counties, all heavily democratic.

State of Florida had that law in place long before Bush-Gore. And every newspaper that did a "recount" found Bush won. Fair and square. This includes the Miami Herald, USA Today, The Washington Post and NY Times.

If anyone was trying to win by dubiuos methods it was Gore and Company.

Class Dismissed.

Then why did the Supreme Court stop the Florida recount?...

How many time did you need them to prove Bush won? Would 10 times have been okay? 20? 30? 1,000? Any at all?

Then why were the recounts consistently showing that Gore was actually getting more votes?
