 I surely hope you're right!!  I don't think I could handle another election like that!

The reply was merely a grasp at some cheap entertainment on my part....very selfish of me....I'm sorry.

As to votes, I wish this nations electorate would do just that, vote. Maybe this next one won't have such a poor turnout.

nope... don't hate england at all.   simply pointing out the blatant hypocricy and what would appear to be their obsession with  America...

just like the rest of America... I don't give england much thought one way or the other.  

I was glad to have them fight beside us and interested in their effort.   I am not interested in their neurosis about America.  What the BBC thinks is even less of interest to me.

yes that's true it was more like this.....


 Gore:  I want a recount
 
 Bush: I won the state, now play by the rules.

 Electors: Mr. Gore you still lose

 Gore: Every vote must count! I want a recount, but only 2 democrat counties.

 Bush: I won the state, now play by the rules.

 Electors: Mr. Gore you still lose.

 Gore: I demand every vote must count! Now do a recount of the 2 democrat counties, and forget about the military votes.

 Bush: I won the state, now play by the rules.

 Electors: Mr. Gore you still lose.

 State Court: We'll try and help you Herr Gore,  Every vote must count, so count only 2 democrat counties.

 Bush: I won the state, now play by the rules.

 US Court:  Play by the rules Mr. Gore,  you can count all the votes or none of the votes.

 Bush: I won the state.....

 Gore:

 EVERY MAJOR NEWS PAPER IN AMERICA: after our intense review of all the ballots.  Mr. Gore loses......


 What the hell kind of LOSER wins the popular vote and loses the election?  Oh yeah,  Al Gore.

Gore couldn't even win his home state of Tenessee.  That should result in automatic loss of the election, plus permanent exile from the country.   He could move to France and invent the eclair.

Wouldn't it be great to abolish the electoral college so that all the votes outside of liberal population centers would be silenced?

 They didn't.  They said all the votes have to be counted. And afterall that's just was Gore wanted right? :rolleyes:   And even then counting votes by even gore's hypocritical standard he still lost.

 I ask again, what kind of LOSER wins the popular vote and loses the election?  Oh yeah,  the answer is still Al Gore.
