Sheesh, the media won't tell us how badly Gore beat Bush in Florida because it would undermine the president's "legitimacy." And the Census Bureau doesn't want to tell people what the census count is because they don't like what the numbers say.

Free press?

Open, accountable government?

In a pig's eye.

They actually did give us the REAL census numbers. What they are refusing to do is give us the bogus, "politically manipulated," numbers. I have mixed thoughts on that. On the one hand, the Democrats will use them at the state level to advance a corrupt agenda. On the other hand, it would be a good opportunity to show just how fallacious the manipulation of the numbers really is.

Actually, Bush beat Gore in Florida and was declared the winner by that state's Secretary of State in accordance with the law. Remember?

Nonsense. The Census Bureau is or will release the census count. You know, the official one.

What they are trying not to release is not the census count at all but a bunch of made-up numbers which have been fudged and massaged by statisticians.

Of course, you're the one who posts something then never comes back to defend your statement, aren't you?

Bush has won about 8 recounts. Back in March several media sources released their finding of their own recounts. Bush won those as well. How many recounts will it take for you people to acknowledge Bush won Florida?
