Clintons and other left-wing liars [what I KNOW about election 2000]

As a Florida Republican, I listened to the press lie through the 2000 recounts, pause for an obscenely short time after 9-11, and pick up the refrain - the campaign of lies..."Gore won" "Bush is selected."
Remember when the press "discovered" the old mildly-intoxicated-while-driving Bush "scandal" a week before the election? Coincidentally, earlier that same day, Janet Reno told the press that she would be opening an investigation into Al Gore's pulling the plug on a multi-year drug investigation (after the Houston detectives cried foul at the cover-up) because the #1 suspect made a BIG $$$ donation to Al's campaign. A mob of "mainstream" journalists chased the ancient DUI story. The Washington Times reported the Gore story, too.
When I asked a local SW Florida NBC-TV news manager why the Gore story was being covered-up, following three days of "DUI" coverage into the weekend before election day, this news boss said of the Washington Times, "That right-wing rag?! It's owned by the Moonies." I asked him whether he believed that Janet Reno would grant the Washington Times an exclusive? He conceded the point, but no mention of the Gore story appeared on his news channel or in the mainstream media. No daily reports from NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Boston Globe, NPR + the INTER-national press - or press mobs chasing Gore across parking lots demanding that he spill all.
Can we say "left-wing" media? Popular vote?
Florida Republicans fought the attempted election theft by the Florida Dem. election machine and their army of lawyers who descended on our fair state during election 2000. Surprise, we didn't let them steal the election. We bypassed the DNC press and informed ourselves and our neighbors. We now have the internet, can go directly to sources and share information with neighbors and friends.
Two years later: Fla., pre-election 2002:
"Jeb is gone!" Mr. McAuliffe declared brazenly, brushing aside the determination of the White House to protect the president's brother. "There won't be anything as devastating to President Bush as his brother's losing in Florida." --Terry McAuliffe, DNC Chairman, NY Times, Oct. 23, 2002
Dem leaders based election 2002 on the revenge of the disenfranchised Dem 2000 voters.
On Nov. 5, 2002, Florida voters, both Republican and Democrat, voted fair and square (again) and 1) re-elected Jeb Bush - first Republican Governor re-elected in Florida's history; 2) elected Katherine Harris to Congress; 3) elected a 100% Republican Cabinet; 4) elected a majority of Republicans to the Florida House; 5) didn't elect Al Gore's Fla. campaign manager and former Fla. A.G. Bob Butterworth or 6) Carol Roberts, Palm Beach County Democrat and election accuser; 7) Republicans took back the federal Senate; 8) Republican Governors won across the nation.
After being told by the DNC leaders that Florida voters would turn out in droves to avenge election 2000 - Florida voters did turn out and overwhelmingly validated election 2000.
How did the 'unbiased press' deal with this PRO-GOP election? By giving "we the people" a week of NANCY PELOSI, newly elected Democrat House minority leader.
Some of what the left-wing media left out of the 2000 election re-re-recount coverage:
While the Democrats are still blaming those Votomatic punch card machines (like the one in Palm Beach) for Gore's loss, it was Bush who was hurt in the Votomatic counties...including my Republican Lee County. Impeachment manager Bill McCollum received more votes for Senate than did George W. Bush for President in Lee, Palm Beach, Charlotte counties. Think about that. Voters voted for Bill McCollum and Al Gore?
Oh, and those "hick" counties, the "red" counties in Florida with fewer than 10,000 voters? All but one of those 22 Florida counties voted for BUSH and they are ALL Democrat-majority counties with Dem. election personnel...and ALL recounted (as did EVERY county in Florida (just not 2 or 3 times 'til ballots could be manipulated for Gore))- and the HONEST Democrats in the small Florida counties showed mostly single digit changes in the recounts, mostly insignificant. As a friend said, "my Democratic neighbors are southern Democrats with family values and they don't trust Gore."
Did you hear of a Republican* voting twice? Republican* felons voting in large blocks? Republican* illegal immigrants? Republicans* in nursing homes and hospitals "helping" incompetent patients vote? Republicans* adding non-resident names to the voting rosters at the polling locations? Republicans* poking holes in ballots/ eating chads? Writing books about recounts and how to win elections by manipulating ballots? Did Republicans* have a GOTV center set up in a Palm Beach law office, with "ballot protest" forms and a telecom company (a little bankrupt firm called Telequest that sold to a company from India days later for millions $$), set up in advance, as well as a team of lawyers ready to put the "recount" campaign in place? Did a Republican* lawyer lie about an Illinois "dimple decision" to the national press and in court? Did Republicans* go into the inner cities and tell the voters that George W. Bush would send them back to slavery? Did a Republican* Florida Supreme Court ignore existing state law to allow carefully selected Republican* counties recounts, and then change the laws as it was necessary to help Republicans*? Did a Republican* send a memo to every one of 67 counties - not based on Florida law - telling poll workers how to disqualify military ballots? Did Republicans* prevent over 500 Florida students from Liberty University (Jerry Falwell's school) from receiving their absentee ballots? Did Republicans* misdirect military mail? Make it exceedingly difficult for military overseas to vote? Did the Republican* press cover up the massive Dem. dirty tricks? Did a Republican* Florida elect our Republican House, Republican Governor and GHW Bush over Bill Clinton in 1992? Is the Republican* press still lying?
No.
* Democrat(s)
The false charge of "racism" was the most destructive lie of all...the DNC knew exactly how that lie would play in the inner cities where they frightened young children and incited hatred. Teachers and parents comforted children who were terrified that Pres. Bush would make them slaves.
"Racist" Republican Bush was a topic of discussion at the UN conference on racism, where American "civil rights" "leaders" carried out their post-election 2000 campaign of deceit in front of an international audience and sympathetic left-wing press.
Leaders from over 180 nations listened as speakers railed against the "racist" American leadership during a week of Bush, American and Israel bashing, taking home the message to their respective countries. What enemy of America wouldn't be encouraged by this display of international enmity against US? The UN "racism" conference ended two days before 9-11-01.
Don't bother trying to find this info in America's textbooks, University websites, press accounts. You probably won't find the AP graph showing the before and after recount totals from all 67 Florida counties, and the Palm Beach voting records? Accidentally destroyed.
At the end of the day, election 2002 was the smoking gun that exposed both the lack of gravitas and pattern of deceit by a puffed-up, partisan far-left press, international PR agents of the shady, scheming, mean-spirited socialists, bullies, despots and scoundrels - aka the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy.

Thanks RC. . .for the fresh synopsis; a much needed reminder of
fact as we head into another election cycle.
The Dems still re-writing the past (just listen to Gray Davis whiney analysis of why he is being recalled); in Clinton voice and word, he covers his butt via a 'right-wing' conspiracy (from east coast to west. . .) Only word missing is 'v a s t'.
But then that belongs to Hillary.
This should be copied and parts thereof. . .saved for the right windshield. . .Starbucks tabletop and left in a Borders/Barnes&Noble Lib mag as things heat up!

Kay, the AP graph shows 1) that every Florida county DID re-count - as the Fla. State Constitution requires for an election this close - and 2) it shows each county's very small change in vote totals - including those 22 smallest counties - all Dem. majority, w/ Dem. election personnel - and all but one county out of these 22 Dem. family-friendly, honest Florida counties (Leon = Tallahassee, the Capitol - Dem - as all Caps. are) voted for Bush - twice.

Hey girl! I've said it until I am blue. I believe the state of PA was stolen for Gore.
Look at the numbers. Rick Santorum running for reelection and arguably much more conservative than Bush, received 200,000 more votes than Bush did in PA. Show me the damn voter that went out and voted for Santorum and Gore!
I have repeatedly told the RNC that they kiss my butt until they adopt a platform that addresses voter fraud. I take my politics seriously and am sick at the thought of what goes on and everyone damn well knows it!

We have to remain vigilant, work as election personnel in the BIG cities, win by bigger margins, and do what Jeb did in 2002 - when Terry McAuliffe threatened to use DNC lawyers as poll watchers across Florida on election day - Jeb brought in the DOJ to observe. Heh.

PA, NM, WI, and so many others were stolen as well. And SD 2002 was stolen for Johnson, due to Indian voter fraud. Vote fraud is the ONLY way the Dems will hold on to power, so we need to be ready and watchful, and ready to act when necessary.

Great post! I was disappointed that the DOJ with Ashcroft at the helm, didn't launch a federal investigation into Voter fraud during the 2000 election. I think the Dems have been twisting election results for years. They succeeded in stealing the presidential election in 1960, but 40 years later thankfully failed. However they likely stole the close Senate race in South Dakota in 2002. And if a proper investigation would have been done, I think we would find that Gore didn't win as many votes as people think.
To: alwaysconservative
Thanks, a.c. The sentiment was 'lets move on' after the Electoral College elected Pres. Bush on Dec. 18, 2000. With a Clintonized DNC-EU-UN - you know what to expect. Dirty, rotten, scoundrel tactics.

I believe the state of PA was stolen for Gore. Of course it was. PA mostly voted for Bush. Gore won because of the number of votes in Pittsburgh and Philly. We know that in some Black precincts in Philly 125% of the registered voters voted, primarily for gore. I'd guess that is just the tip of the iceberg.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl
I was down in FLA last month, and a family friend told me the reason for the "hanging chads" was that the dems would put MULTIPLE CARDS into the machines. That's why they were so interested in this particular abnormality. Makes sense to me (but I wasn't there).
I could barely read your (really good) article - could you make the type size bigger next time? Just a suggestion.

The story of how the DUI incident from 24 years earlier suddenly surfaced 5 days before the election was never fully investigated. There was a theory advanced on FR, I forget by whom, at the time of the 2000 election that this dirt came in some way from Hillary's FBI files. If the story could have been found by some ordinary snooping around the courthouse where the incident happened (presumably that was York Co., Maine), someone would have used it against George W. Bush in the 1994 or 1998 Texas gubernatorial races. Rather, it would have been something the FBI had learned about in the course of one of their investigations of George H. W. Bush when he ran for V.P. or President.

If the story had come out two weeks or a month in advance, Pres. Bush could probably have used it to his advantage. He's driving slowly, accepts full responsibility, his parents hold him accountable, he cleans up his act, dotes on his wife, goes to Bible class - pretty admirable to most Americans, imho. Only a last-minute smear would work to bring down his numbers. Of course he would have won the popular vote.

Thanks, CG. The reference material is in paper and computer files. Someday I may put it all together on the net. We really thought they'd cut it out once we foiled their attempted theft.
If you're seriously interested - let me know. We archived most of this data during election 2000 here at FR - from the voting machines by type/county, to eyewitness accounts that made up the lengthy paragraph of Dem. election abuses. Fla. government election database is easy to search as well - by county, year.
I wasn't meaning to write a book, simply to debunk their lies....and lies...and lies. I stand by the numbers - have a newspaper copy of the elusive AP recount graph as well. (^;

California has a lot of military bases; alot of deployed military personnel, too.
Someone out there needs to be watching what is being done/not done, to ensure every military person who wants to cast a vote will be able to, and that IT WILL COUNT.
Great read, there, Ragtime!

Thanks, FlyVet. We couldn't match your anger, I'm sure, but we probably came close.
ALOHA RONNIE says a judge in CA is thinking about disenfranchising the military vote in the upcoming recall election. We've had a few Californians die for their country in the last month.

Not to toot my own horn, but related blogs on this can be found here and here. The first describes proof of the fix. The second describes one way to fight back in 2004.
In fact, an ad like this in Florida just before the 2004 elections would be highly effective. Maybe a certain conservative grassroots organization could run it.

Yep, I know Bush won fair and square. Though you don't hear it often enough. I live in florida where all those *disenfranchised* voters were supposed to be as well..
My understanding was EVERYONE was given ample time to come forth about not being allowed to vote. They didn't show up...and personally I have not met one soul who said they weren't able to vote on election day.
Oh by the way, I had no trouble voting myself.
The whole thing was ridiculous.
