Gore and the Democrats will not give up. They will fight and fight and fight until they get their way.

THEY designed the ballots. THEY counted, recounted, and recounted a zillion times.....with the counters being mostly on THEIR side......and they still couldn't win! I'm afraid a Bush landslide (which we have to work for) next time....still will not shut them up. SORE LOSERMEN!!!!

With 'One More Day' Gore Might Have Prevailed Before U.S. Supreme Court

Perhaps my response can best be framed in Spanish: Pobre Chulita. (Translation: Poor little cutie). It should be delivered with the appropriate hand gesture towards Mr. Gore.

Maybe Gore would have called in Columbo to be his AG...or called in Ed Harris to be an asstronaut...maybe he could get McMillan and Wife to be Solicitor General and WIfe.

Gore is a frigging moron.

The only thing the Supreme Court did wrong is not toss it back to the Florida Legislature who would have chosen Bush anyway. They were absolutely correct on the majority opinion, just a little off on the remedy.

Gore is a frigging moron.

Yep. He is about as shallow and stupid as they come. He does everything in terms of publicity generated-just like his mentor. And he is willing to do ANYTHING to win. Which is what REALLY separates him from President Bush. Gore moves thru life with his finger in the wind, seeking popularity by changing himself whenever he thinks it will garner approval. Something we had enough of with the sick clintons for so very long. Gosh-I still think it is providence that President Bush won, God knew we could not hang in there and muster the will to fight the degradation and creeping socialism much longer.

Gore is genuinely stupid. And I suspect many who know him know this very well.

But when you have folks like george stephanopoulis and others who have refined the art of taking one's greatest weakness and ascribing it to an opponent, there is always a tough battle over public knowledge. clinton was always 'out of control', so they labled his enemies 'out of control' to use the term first, President Bush is a brilliant leader so they use the term 'dumb' to follow their pattern...it's Orwellian. And it allows for genuine confounding.

The phone rang, but it was Evans again ``Jack,'' he said, ``it sounds like your heart's not in this. Maybe it's best for you not to do it. Have a nice vacation.'' .

Hah! Evans sounds like one of the rare smart ones.

IMHO, the behaviour of the Demon-rats in 2000 will be the modus operandi for their party for the forseeable future. Since their ideas are bankrupt, they will plead "racism" and play the class warfare game...usual tactic for the 'Rats, but this time it will be in context of the election. "BLACKS COULDN'T VOTE" "POOR FOLKS COULDN'T VOTE" will be the mantra. The 'Rats, worthless and weak, will do this over and over and over again, every election cycle. They will also bring in trial lawyers by the boatload to every locale wherein an even modestly close election happens.

A party without values will do anything to win, and the Democrats have become that party. Beginning with their idol worship of Clinton, the 'Rats have moved beyond the pale of respectability. They are now akin, in my opinion, to Hitler's Brownshirts or Idi Amin's torture squads...the difference is, they aren't destroying property now, they're destroying integrity.

A couple of things struck me about this. First, the ruling stopping the counts was 7-2, not 5-4 (two of the 7 did think that something else could be fashioned by the DemonRAT Floruduh Sump-pump Kangaroo Court before the 18th without violating either the Constitutional primacy of the state legislature or federal law all-but-mandating that all challenges be concluded by December 12. Second, it casts no aspersions on David (Turncoat) Souter's admission that he was seeking to bribe another Justice's vote (you heard me right, bribe). Rather, it seems to cast aspersions on Anthony Kennedy's stand on principle. Third, the excerpt quotes all 4 members of the putsch while only quoting the "swing". Fourth, there's no mention of the Floriduh's Sump-pump Kangaroo Court's attempt to nullify every last vote count (and also doesn't mention each and every vote total showed Algore with less votes than President Bush) and the Constitution.

If I were on the House Judiciary Committee, I would enter this book as Exhibit A in the impeachments of Justices Souter, Breyer, Ginsburg and Stevens.

And yet all the "recounts" still go Bush's way...

So how is it the Supreme Court decided the election by enforcing the Constitution???

The vote that made Bush president was the electoral vote from the home state of his opponent and the home state of the sitting president.

The Supreme Court overturned with lunatic reasoning the decision of a subordinate court - a subordinate court that carefully listened to all the accusations and the evidence - and demonstrated a solid sense of justice in its decision....

The subordinate court I'm talking about, of course, is that of Democrat Judge Sander Sauls, who threw out the Democrats' patently transparent suits to overturn the election via legal fiat. And it was the corrupt Florida Supreme Court majority that threw out justice, fairness, due process and common sense, along with Judge Sauls' well-reasoned decision in its stampede to install an American Dictator.

May these SCOFFLAWS rot in hell - (except for the Florida SC Chief Justice - who accurately described his compatriots as the traitorous scum that they are).

And we all "know" that if the Florida situation was a mirror image of what did happen: that is, Republican Florida Supreme Court deciding for Bush, and there was a DemocRAT legislature, a DemocRAT Governor and Gore count in the lead that "Justices" Souter, Breyer, Ginsburg and Stevens would have voted the same way as they did. Yeah, Like I believe that Ginsburg is the most apolitical Justice in the world.........Not.

Have a question for Newsweek's crack investigative reporters?
E-mail: Letters@newsweek.com
or: WebEditors@newsweek.com

Still waiting for an investigation into Dem. fraud. My letters asked why journalists have not mentioned the ~7500 illegal felon votes that were counted for Gore in Florida? Instead of an investigation, we get a new PAC in Fla. working to restore votes for felons, make the Governor and Republicans appear racist and conveniently distract from the real issue which was- Why no mention of the ~7500 illegal votes for Gore in all of these press attacks on the USSC, Jeb Bush and Republicans?


Don't "click here"

Breyer got baited by a Russian Judge!! What a teenager!! Grow up Justice Breyer, no wonder you're a liberal. "The phone rang, but it was Evans again ``Jack,'' he said, ``it sounds like your heart's not in this. Maybe it's best for you not to do it. Have a nice vacation.'' ."

Good call, why would someone want Danforth to do anything, the wuss and coverup artist. James Baker was perfect, even though I'm no fan of his.
