"What about this?"

What about what? I'm sorry but counting lawfully excluded ballots doesn't give Gore a win. The so-called "Palm Beach Standard" was the most liberal, illegal counting method employed...which is exactly why this is where he recieved the most illegal votes. It is not the job of the counters to divine the intent of the voter...just as over-votes and under-votes don't count. You can't change election law after an election just becasue you don't like the outcome.

If you want to talk about lost votes, just take a look at the predominatly Republican populated Pan-handle where thousands of votes were lost because the media falsey reported that the polls had closed an hour before they actually had. Or how about the military ballots that were intentionally disenfranchised by Mark Herron, who led the effort for the Democrats to throw out as many votes as possible?

The fact is, with everything going the way Gore demanded...including multiple recounts in Democratic controlled counties, he still lost. And the truth is, there shouldn't have even been a "hand" recount as the Democratic judge N. Sander Sauls ruled, because Gore couldn't prove any fraud, deception or negligence.

While people talk about the 5-4 decision that supposedly gave Bush the election, the truth is he lost 7-2 in the USSC as they found the FSC had erred...twice. The 5-4 dispute was over the resolution. It wasn't the USSC that was out of line here as just about every other lower-court, liberal judge in Florida ruled against Gore only to be overturned by the partisan FSC...and even there, the Chief Justice rebuked his colleagues over their final decision. This should've been resolved when the lower court (Terry Lewis) ruled that Kathryn Harris could legally certify the election. But instead the FSC not only extended the deadline once, they extended it twice, going against their own previous rulings.

Frankly, the courts shouldn't be involved in any electoral decisions period...unless some sort blatant fraud occurred (which even they could't find). The FSC usurped the state constitution, legislated local/state election laws, their own lower courts, the elected Secretary of State...and even ignored the USSC. There was only one rogue outfit in this process and it was obvious who it was.

You got that right. democRats are out of control, and they act as though no one will even figure out what they're doing, much less call them on it.

Their arrogance makes them think no one is as smart as they are. And the reason they're acting so crazy right now is that even they are beginning to realize that the rest of the population is getting wise to them.

Anyone remember the slogan of HL Hunt food products? "Tell or ask two people each day about HL Hunt products." This is what we need to do about democRats; every damned day, discuss the wacky antics as well as the dark, ulterior motives of liberal democRats, with at least two people. Get 'em worked up and angry, hardly able to wait for the next election.
