Because he was hell-bent on abriding first-amendment rights,
limiting the ability of candidates and citizens to publicize
their views on election issues, turning over all communication
to the leftist Ministries of Propaganda more commonly known as
ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC.
McCain was defeated because his ideas would assure that
ALL opposition to the Democrat party would be effectively
silenced forever.

There have been TWO recounts already.

The vote-counting machines are accurate to less than 1 error per MILLION.
According to cnn.com:
FLORIDA VOTE COUNT TOTALS Nov. 26, 2000
PRESIDENT Nov. 7 First Recount Certified
Bush 2,909,176 2,911,872 2,912,790
Gore 2,907,451 2,910,942 2,912,253
Bush Lead 1725 930 537
So, total votes:
5,816,627 5,822,814 5,825,043
Thus, the margin of error is 5.8, which we can round up to 6.
The closest margin of defeat for Gore is 537, which is almost
100 TIMES THE MARGIN OF ERROR.
The instructions at the polling places EXPLICITLY TELL VOTERS
to make sure that they remove any punch-outs before submitting
their ballot....because THAT IS WHAT CONSTITUTES A ***LEGAL*** vote.
What Gore and company are trying to do is get ballots that
are ***NOT**** ****LEGAL**** Votes counted as votes.
Counting non-legal votes is ILLEGAL.
Anybody who tries to become president using ILLEGAL means
should be put in jail for attempting to overthrow the
Constitutional government.
Since AlGore is currently Vice President, and took an oath
to DEFEND AND UPHOLD the Constitution, then, when this mess
is all over, he should be indicted for conspiring to violate
his oath of office.
After all, the dozens of lawyers who are perpatrating this
fraud was assembled BEFORE the voting even started....all
Gore had to do was pick up the phone and say, "Send the
team down to Florida"

No, they did not. Nixon conceded before any suits were filed,
even though it was WELL KNOWN that Daley had managed to get
votes out of people who had been dead for years.

You Demoncrooks are all the same--spend your entire life accusing
Republicans of the sins committed by the Democrats.
Remember slavery and Jim Crow laws...that's the core of Democrat
values...keeping blacks impoverished and uneducated....and it
continues to this day....look at ANY school district controlled
by Democrats, and you will see that the PRIMARY effect is one
of keeping the black children uneducated.
You accuse Republicans of hating blacks...when in actuality,
the largest collection of black-hating racists is in the
leadership of the Democratic party.

The BEST dual-O/S solution is install Linux on the "normal" boot
partition, and then, through VMWAre, make a Windows installation.

I'm agreeing that my choice of "idiot" was wrong. The hypothesis, strange as
it is, points it out. It's a matter of experience and environment, not
intellect. I used the word idiot because I had been trouble-shooting over
the phone to complete morons that evening and had a dim view of humanity as
a result.

Oh for God's sake!
His hypothesis was extreme, yes. However, it makes a valid point regarding
experience. You're bordering on anal retention, i'm afraid.

"Feminists like to set the pace for how women like Mrs. Clinton are judged,
correct? Well, in recent weeks feminist writers for The Washington Post and
other news outlets have told us that we ought to judge Katherine Harris by
her eyelashes, makeup and wardrobe, and decide based on these criteria that
she cannot be trusted. So it's apparently okay, once again, to judge a
female politician based on her looks, figure, clothes or makeup. This makes
me think of something we can now say about Mrs. Clinton. In line with the
feminists, I want to be the first to go on record as asserting that we
cannot believe anything Hillary Clinton says, because she has a big broad
beam and elephant ankles - and I want to thank the feminists of America for
agreeing with me. "

"Feminists like to set the pace for how women like Mrs. Clinton are judged,
correct? Well, in recent weeks feminist writers for The Washington Post and
other news outlets have told us that we ought to judge Katherine Harris by
her eyelashes, makeup and wardrobe, and decide based on these criteria that
she cannot be trusted. So it's apparently okay, once again, to judge a
female politician based on her looks, figure, clothes or makeup. This makes
me think of something we can now say about Mrs. Clinton. In line with the
feminists, I want to be the first to go on record as asserting that we
cannot believe anything Hillary Clinton says, because she has a big broad
beam and elephant ankles - and I want to thank the feminists of America for
agreeing with me. "
