I detest Bush. I think Bush is a huge criminal, among a bunch of criminals.
I despise Bush. I call him names that aren't allowed on network television.
When I see his image, I flip it off.
##As I said that is just sour grapes because he beat you at the polls by
representing the desires of the American people better than you did.
Frankly, that sort of emotional ad hominem attack is beneath you.
"I didn't have a problem with the guy until the presidency was most recently
stolen."
# I assume you mean the presidential election of two years ago. It is hard
to imagine that you are speaking of the recent election where he beat you
badly enough that you couldn't even file a lawsuit.
So lets take the election of two years ago. The Dems filed something
like six lawsuits in the State of Florida. Our friends in Europe probably
don't get the details but every suit was presided over by a judge that was
known to be a Democrat. The Dems lost every suit except the two times they
went in front of the Florida Supreme Court. The presiding judge in that case
was a Dem and a contributor to Clinton's campaign in 96. Even he, in the
end, told the other dems on the court they would be reversed by the U. S.
Supreme Court and they were.
Dems complained bitterly about a "court awarded presidency" but the
fact is they took the cases to court.
You will also hear the complaint that Bush lost the popular vote. In
the States we count until a victor is determined. Usually we stop at that
point. In other words if you and I contest for an office and we get to the
point where you are 10,000 votes ahead with only a 1,000 votes remaining we
normally quit counting. In the Bush/Gore contest I have read there were
several million votes uncounted but not one of which would have changed the
outcome. That procedure rained on both sides. Sometimes they quit counting
because Bush could not win even if he got all the uncounted votes. Sometimes
they quit because Gore had clearly lost.
So the only answer to the question of who won the popular vote is,
"WHO KNOWS?" But one thing is for sure, neither Ross nor I have the foggiest
idea nor does anyone else.
