Did Gore look like an idiot for contesting in 2000, once it was discovered what a train wreck Florida was? [/QUOTE
It’s mathematically impossible for Kerry to win. Florida was a LOT closer than Ohio, and Gore had the popular vote.
This may have to be my new sig. It presents an example of bitter vitriol so well.
Cite? Or are you saying a Bush victory is evidence of fraud?
sigh
It’s no use, folks. We’re stuck with four more years of President J. Fred Muggs and his Rove-ing band of sinister stooges.
But if they think they’ve got an easy four years coming, they’re going to be just a bit surprised.
Frankly, the biggest result of this election will not be any policy Bush tries to implement, Those come and go with different administration. The REALLY BIG DEAL will be the Supreme Court appointments. Looks like Bush will get to select 3 Justices. It’ll be tough going in the Senate to get his appointments confirmed, but he’s got the upper hand.
Does this mean we shouldn’t hold our breath for millions of high paying jobs, affordable healthcare, rolling taxcuts, lower deficits and peace in our time? Wow, color me disillusioned already.
I’m not DtC, and I give up this fight, but here ya go.

It’s something.
I wouldn’t. But you wouldn’t’ve gotten any of that under Kerry either, so maybe you should think about taking responsibility for your own career and healthcare-- no one is going to give those to you.
We will never know, will we, Kreskin?
Tax increases instead of tax cuts; check. Every man for himself, don’t bother me about the economy; check. Windfalls for the pharmaceutical companies and insurance industry, check. That’s about what I thought; empty promises followed by a big dose of “Fuck you, made you look!” And he can get away with it too, because, in four years, it’s somebody else’s problem!
And once again, Americans will sit in the ruins saying, “What were we thinking?”
Which previous ruination are you referring to?
In November 1972, Richard M. Nixon won re-election by what is still, to this day, the largest margin (in gross number of votes) in Presidential election history - some 17.8 million. 21 months later, he was addressing the nation in disgrace, the first (and, so far, only) President to voluntarily leave office before his term was completed. As the revelations regarding various dirty tricks and actual crimes committed by the President’s staff members piled up, with all indications pointing to Nixon’s knowledge and complicity with said activities, millions of Americans looked at each other and said “what the hell were we thinking?”
And then we realized that the other choice was McGovern, and it all made sense.
You would prefer Nixon to McGovern??? Oh sure, you’re no Republican… Quack, quack, quack.
How so? McGovern, who I respect immensely, was far out of the political mainstream in his time.
He drove millions of Democrats to pull the lever for Nixon.
Not by a very wide margin this election. They mentioned on the news just a few minutes ago that only 17% of those of us 18-29 voted(grrr!!), but 45% of us who did vote voted for Bush. That’s definitely not the 3 to 1 figure that the media predicted for both young and/or undecided voters before the election. How’d he do with the “undecideds”?
