Interpreting the law is their decision. Just because they came down on the side of Bush doesn't mean that it wasn't their call to make. > BTW - the Washington Post reported that "Bush's lead would have vanished if the >recount had been conducted under the > severely restrictive standards that some Republicans advocated...The review found >that the result would have been > different if every canvassing board in every county had examined the >undervote...[Under] the most inclusive standard > [that is, a standard that sought to include the true will of ALL the people] Gore >would have won by 393 votes...On > ballots that [suggested] a fault with either the machine or the voter's ability to >use it...Gore would have won by 299 > votes." I have seen so many if this else this and the moon fell out of the sky Gore would have won conditions. Just imagine if Nader hadn't run. They should have followed the letter of law and counted the votes the way they were supposed to this. None of this dimpled chad or hanging chad garbage. > > The Palm Beach Post also reported that an estimated 3000 voters, mostly elderly and >Jewish, who thought they were voting > for Al Gore ended up punching the wrong hole - for Pat Buchanan.

Ask questions, that's why people are there to help. If you are confused and not sure who you are voting for ask. Why don't we just let them vote as mant times as they want to make sure they get it right. > > > > > In case you missed it or have forgotten, GW went on record in a speech and >personalized the entire thing, stating that > Saddam was the man who tried to kill his daddy.

Yes he did try to kill Bush senior in Kuwait. I don't know about you, but unless the Iraqi nuclear scientists who have defected are lying, I am worried about our countries safety. Appeasement doesn't work period. If we continue to let this guy build these weapons, when he does decide to use them, then we are in serious trouble because he will have had all the time in the world to build them up. Send in the inspectors, if he gives them one bit of trouble, the next set of inspectors come on B-2's > > Texas had one of the worst Education systems during GW's tenure as Governor.

Here's one for ya: Because of President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, Federal funding for America's elementary and secondary schools has risen 27 percent since last year. - National Center for Education Statistics That's just one of the piece, so don't tell me he has cut spending. > > I remember GW accusing the Clinton administration of "nation building" yet, here we >are doing the same thing in > Afghanistan and, if he has his way, we would be doing the same thing in Iraq.

We may be helping them after destroying them, but the only reason we are helping is because we destroyed them. I don't think we would have been involved in Afghanastan had we not been attacked on September 11th. > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_community This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
