The catch is that our secular calendar is an extension of the church calendar. While people argue whether or not they got 1 A.D. in the right place (let alone the debate over what date ought to count as Christmas) it is clear that a zero year was never intended and historians honor that convention. The year after 1 B.C. was 1 A.D.

oops sorry, the connection to FR got hung up. inadvertent double post resulted.

[CPOSharky]

Have yo7 noticed that the left always wins recounts?

Because they keep recounting until they do win?

This Obozo waits 3 days to comment on the Detroit incident, and Bush was roundly criticized for finishing reading to children.

To be fair, Obozo was reacting to a failed incident, whereas President Bush was reacting to a successful one.

But three hours would have been a reasonable interval - not days. You know - the three hours that his staff took to tell him about the incident to begin with?

[A.Hun]

The SCOTUS just didn't let him complete the theft effort. And now we can see how insane Gore is, as you said, thank God Gore didn't win.

We surely dodged a bullet...it had to be Divine Intervention.

Good Riddance to Decade That Began With the Unsuccessful Attempt at the Theft of the Presidency

Just helping out their headline writer.

Not really. If Gore had won his HOME state, the Florida issue would have been moot. Liberals refuse to face this fact.

[Rome2000]

John Nichols is a homosexual sex pervert and self described "Progressive" (what marxist without the balls to call themselves marxist call themselves these days).

Communist garbage, a filthy lying red son of a bitch ex hippie scumbag who lies for a living.

Watch out for him and give him a rash of shiite if you are unfortunate enough to happen upon him.

Gore won the District of Columbia handily.

“This extreme judicial activism was not merely a devastating assault on American democracy.”

This statement is a manifestation of the mindset that guarantees that this nation will fight another civil war. The 'reasoning' of the speaker STRICTLY serves himself and his seperate "reality", in this case, to the point of grotesqueness.

Was it Stalin or Lenin that said, “It doesn’t matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.” That is why
this year we must trounce the opposition, because like you say if it is close they, the group who has no morals, will always steal enough votes to win elections. Not much difference between Democrats and muzzies is their?
God bless and a Happy New Year. 2010 pay-back is coming!

[HiTech RedNeck]

When I see the label “progressive” I always wonder “progressing towards what?” It seems the tag is almost always used by those progressing towards hell and bent on dragging the rest of the world with them as they go.

[Past Your Eyes]

In that case (and I agree), they still have another year to wait for the decade that started with the final determination of that election to have passed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The first civil war was not wrought with as much willful misunderstanding.

“Hey, Nation Boy, wait ‘til the next decade you get an 8 year dose of President Palin!”

From your lips to God’s ear.

[RandallFlagg]

You beat me to it.
There was nothing complete about that re-count.
The writer lied in the first freaking sentence.

[freedomwarrior998]

Newspapers' recount shows Bush prevailed.

[moondoggie]

I didn't think the USSC stopped a "complete" recount, but just a recount of the precincts Algore wanted recounted?

And, weren't they all Dem precincts?

[listenhillary]

Except in the 2000 election when the newspapers kept tallying the votes until May of 2001 and came to the conclusion that Gore lost the election.

[McGruff]

Ah yes. Those poor Floriduh voters.
