Look again at the map of the U.S. showing the areas of the country that voted for Gore.

Those areas have the largest populations of illegals.

It isin't hard to figure out what went on in those cities.

The sooner we boot all these illegal bastards out of the Country the sooner we get back to a more representative government!

How about the thousands of "overvotes" that were likely created by Democrat operatives (as opportunity presented) pushing long, thin rods through the chads corresponding with the Gore votes, thereby leaving all Gore votes valid and making overvotes of Bush's and other candidates' ballots. The wildly disparate number of Florida overvotes was not due to voter stupidity. Apparently this has been a staple practice of dems in many elections. Their ends justify any and all means, even if those means corrupt our democratic institutions.

Is it any wonder that the dems, who were so loudly screaming about vote fraud, disenfranchisement of legal votes and "irregularities" they attributed to Republicans and promising exhaustive investigations to expose the same, fell deafeningly silent when the election and Gore's frivolous contests were finally concluded? Those leftist screamers knew exactly who such investigations would implicate.

The US Supreme Court and Sec of State of Florida and the people who knew how to vote correctly have spoken as to the winner of the Florida Election - Not the hanging chads, dimpled cards and whatever those nincompoops could think up for Algore to "steal" the election away.

These idiots that have spent a lot of somebody's money, time and energy to try to make our President Bush and our Commander-In-Chief look illegimate.

Media suppress the news that Bush lost election to Gore

What the hell is this aussie crap? If it were somehow really discovered that Bush should have lost to Gore, you would hear it on every TV channel 24/7.

If the DemonRats had really discovered that Gore should have won and could offer a decent explanation and analysis, we would have heard it by the first of June. That didn't happen. We're still hearing a few whisperings of the election, but it is all heresay and B.S. The media in mid-May found out that GW actually won by a wider margin than originally thought. The TV news media said almost nothing and the newspapers printed it on page A-16 in an article the size of a postage stamp.

If Gore would have won the recount they would have printed it big time. If they had the co ordinates of any special forces in Afghanistan they would publish them in a heart beat.

Bingo Tator! I can just hear the Conversation now at the Big Consortium Meeting!

First Consortium Bigwig: Damnit Bush Really did win... How we gonna Pay for all this stupid recount crap now?

Second Consortium Bigwig: Hey let's create a controversey by NOT releasing the recount numbers saying that due to the War Effort we must show unity!

Third Consortium Bigwig: Yea and when election time rolls around we can sell portions of the recount numbers to the Dumocrats and the Repubs with skewed results.

Fourth Consortium Bigwig: Yea and we can get on all the talk shows and get invited to all the parties in the interim cause we can leak bits and pieces of the info!

Fifth Consortium Bigwig: Ok now That's a plan!

The default constitutional solution would have been a decision in the US House of Representatives. This via the certified but contested victory by GW in Florida.

UPSHOT? GW was & is the 'legitaimate' President of Los Estados Unidos. The USSC simply cut to the chase ....

David Podvin, an investigative journalist who runs an independent Web page, Make Them Accountable

and just who pray tell is this? Where is his URL and who is his "reliable" source? Smells like garbage to me. Anyone here know anything about this guy?

No doubt. Studying rejected ballots to try to interpret what the vote really was is an exercise in stupidity and futility.

By the way, I really love how the article says that the people who "discovered" that Gore should have won are saying that they won't release the info because of the war out of the goodness of their hearts. They're actually doing the smart thing here. If this story was widely disseminated, it would be shot down pretty quick. What they are doing is subtly planting seeds of doubt for use later.

You realize that as votes are anonymous, no physical connection can be made to any particular person. Enter, John Edwards, medium extradordinaire. He has been retained to divine the intent of those who voted. He has reportedly told the media phalanx that the dead former president Lyndon B. Johnson has assured him that the entire lot of 170,000 rejected votes were cast with the intent that Owl Gore be elected. The new plan is to physically handle the ballots for a couple more months and, after additional ballot mutilation, announce that Gore actually won FL by about 400,000 votes.

"Results of the inspection of more than 170,000 votes rejected as unreadable..."

Rejected as unreadable. Legally. Succintly. Forever.
What possible difference can these votes make? They are unreadable. Therefore rejected...thrown out...discarded.
Am I being redundant redundant?
