If by that you mean Canadian politics, then you're going to have to get waaaaay more specific. Because ya see, we seem to be just a touch more discerning when it comes to meaningless brain-dead rhetoric... as opposed to guys like you that have read the book, bought the film rights, seen the movie, the sequel and jacked the DVD.

Don't tell me to get my house in order. You know scant about my house - and you aren't kidding anyone besides your gang of 22 percenters.

And don't bother telling me that I don't understand your politics - because I could give you a clinic on it that would embarrass you. Don't believe me?

Try me. Topic is all yours.

If we followed this logic, we'd have no reason to talk about Israel and the Hezbollah.

Check your facts, Nash.  You are either misinformed or spreading misinformation.  Gore did not get a majority of the vote.  Neither did Clinton - either time.  The last Democrat to be elected with a true majority of the vote was Carter (and wasn't THAT a stellar success. :rolleyes: ).  Reagan and the first Bush won with majorities of the popular vote.  Then we had three consecutive elections where the winner did not get a majority (first two due to Perot, third one due to Nader).  Then in 2004, Bush DID get a majority of the popular vote.  Due to the high turnout (by US standards, anyway), Bush got more total votes than Gore did in 2000 by a few million.  If I am not mistaken, Kerry got more votes than Gore did, too -- and he lost.

To do this, you and they would have to quit spreading your own BS first.  I'm sure that isn't going to happen. :rolleyes:

It's too bad that you predicated your entire post on this being false.

It's true.

By your original wording, I took you to mean either Gore got 51% (majority) the first time (which he did not), or that Gore got more votes in 2000 than Bush got in 2004 (also false).

By your edited post, I see you may have not intended it as such.

To the extent I misinterpreted, I apologize.

Huh?

My edit was to add in one thing at the end. I didn't edit the numbers nor did I edit anything that would change the context of what I wrote whatsover.

What a lame assertion.

Spare me the apology..... completely disingenous - a lie and a back pedal.

yep...

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the Democrat party?

I think of Jimmy Carter....  that alone is motivation enough to vote Republican.  I was nine when he left office, even at that age I knew he was a terrible president, and both my mother and father are(and still is) die hard Democrats..

Are we arguing the difference between plurality and majority?
