The liberals and Dems. will never get over that election will they?

Why does nobody ever talk about how the Dems. sought to disqualify military absentee ballots in the Florida recount? If you want to do a tit for tat, there’s lots of ammunition to use against the Dems. They aren’t pure as the driven snow when it comes to election mischief. And what can you say about the “butterly ballot” where some people voted for the wrong candidate, and may have cost Al Gore votes? The Florida Democratic party approved that ballot before the election.

No surprise here whatsoever. The shocking thing would have been if the film were balanced. But that probably would not have been allowed. The thing that enrages me most is that they will portray this as some kind of balanced look at what happened when in reality the producers know full well this is anti Republican left wing propaganda. But then, to their small, closed minds, anything that is biased and unfair to the right IS perfectly proper.

Had the supreme court not stopped the re re re re re re recount, Bush still would have won according to the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, and AP.

Duh! What an a$$. We all know why algore only wanted recounts in 4 highly democrat counties. Let's just say that 10% of the disqualified ballots were found to be valid in those counties, it would give a higher percentage of votes to algore than to Pres. Bush. If a statewide recount had taken place in all counties in FL, with most counties voting majority Republican, more votes would likely have been found for the President. Same with the military votes, greater percentage for the President.

Sad thing is that most lefties get their world view from movies such as this, the msm and the moonbat blogs.

With flaming lipstick and helmet hair, Dern nails the Florida secretary of state's looks, cadence, and carriage to a disturbing degree...

Oh absolutely! Laura Dern's portrayal

is just like the real thing:

The Florida Democratic party approved that ballot before the election.

Then to top it off, they pushed for and got the electronic voting machines. Saying we should vault
into the 2000's with new technology, and then in 2006 they scream that the electronic machines are rigged.

The party of denial, victimology and an assortment of other not so complimentary maladies.

Well Brent you moron, Gore wanted to selectively count votes in counties that were overwhelmingly in his favor to get more votes. He wasn’t interested in recounting votes in counties that leaned the other way. In addition he wanted different rules used for the “under vote” in those same counties that leaned towards him and to continue to use the original rules in the counties that were the other way. In other words, he wanted to cheat. The supreme court put and end to it because it is unconstitutional to purposely count some of the state’s votes differently (apply the law differently) than other parts of the same state - all to slant the outcome.

My first reaction was that this was a BHO movie, not an HBO movie. HBO=Hussein Barack Obama

You should read the Laura Dern statements in TV Guide. This woman is not only waaaaay too homely to play Katherine Harris, she is also a complete idiot. I was disappointed in TV Guide for their obvious lean to the left in many of their reviews. I guess anyone with ANY kind of journalism degree lacks the ability to be unbiased. Too bad brains aren’t necessary to be successful in Hollywood or journalism - we might actually see some balance.

HBO is rewriting history to suit their political views.

Ten years from now, you won’t recognize these years in the way they are portrayed.
