There are so many errors, distortions and misrepresentation in your uncle's rant that it's hard to know where to start refuting them all.

When a person is this deceived, it is usually willful and they are too far gone to bring around.

You can however usaully at least shut them up by exposing their ignorance with the facts repeatedly.

I used to have a Bush hating woman at work who would come into our dept. and start bashing Bush over all kinds of things. After I openly embarrassed her before the entire dept. by showing she didn't know what she was talking about (like most Dems) she finally stop running her mouth around me.
She now only bashes Bush in front of people who won't challenge her.

He was not elected by a majority, he was anointed by a fiercely right wing supreme court majority, most of whom owe their positions to the Shrub man's father and party, undermining the court's legitimacy and that of the Shrub's administration.

Bush won every vote count, re-count and re-re-count in Florida. Gore ran to the Florida Supreme Court and got them to illegally wave election laws so that he could attempt to manufacture enough votes to overtake Bush by changing the definition of a vote several times and by recounts ONLY in specific overwhelmingly Democrat counties where he thought any "new votes" would average out in his favor.

Gore was a cheat. Most of the court cases he LOST against Bush in Florida were presided over by DEMOCRAT Judges, not Republicans.

The US Supreme Court decided 7-2 (that includes Dems) that what Gore was doing violated of Federal election laws and the the FLA SC was wrong for changing election laws AFTER the election.

Are 7 of the USSC judges all "fiercely right wing"?

Furthermore, the newspaper recounts after the election show that Bush would have won by even more votes, even under Gore's rules.

As far as those who claim Bush lost the popular vote; First of all the electoral college is how we elect presidents in this country. Secondly it is totally hypocritical for those who kept claiming every vote wasn't counted, to tell us on the other hand Bush lost the popular vote. How would they know?

He has kept the country in fear since 9/11 and sought to campaign as a WAR president, because most war presidents have an easier time passing legislation and getting reelected. He even created a war for that purpose. Remember, it was leaked before the mid-term election, by a White House source, that the sudden irrational run up to the war with Iraq was a matter of "marketing".

12 years of UN sanctions and unsuccessful inspections with Iraq shooting at our planes in the no-fly zones is a sudden irrational run up?

In the 1990s Clinton, Gore and many Dems made the case as to why Saddam was a threat and a case justifying military action against Iraq.
How did Bush cook this up when he wasn't even in the White House yet? That's idiotic.

The official US policy toward Iraq was REGIME CHANGE before Bush even became president. That policy was put in place when Clinton was in office.
Did Bush "create" that too?

With all due respect, your uncle's claims are uninformed and juvenile.
