Al Gore should have won comfortably in 2000, enough so that Bush couldn't steal the election...

Yet it was close enough for Bush to steal.

Gore should have campaigned as more of a liberal. Instead of picking a DINO like Lieberman in an attempt to distance himself from the popular Clinton Administration, he could have easily picked Paul Wellstone or Russ Feingold-both strong liberal Senators of integrity and neither connected closely to Clinton. That way, more of the Nader voters would have been inclined to vote Democratic.

Also, Gore could have spent more time on places like Tennessee and Arkansas, Ohio and West Virginia. He shouldn't have lost these states. Yet he did. He bet it all on Florida, and the Republican machine so desperate to get Bush/Cheney into power won by way of cheating.

One of the (few) office moonbats was complaining again last week that Bush stole the election from algore. He said that if Bush hadn't "stolen" Florida, algore would have won. When I pointed out that algore couldn't even win his home state, he looked like he'd been slapped with a week-old trout.

Priceless.

Wait.. are you not denying that Bush stole the election? Cause he did. Idc if Gore did lose his home state. He should have won Florida. And would have had SCOTUS not shut down the recount.

Bush did not steal the election. The SCOTUS didn't shoot down a recount they made fl go by the laws on their own books.

And Gore did win his home state, Washington DC. (I know bad joke)

And I'm curious are you a MIHOP believer or is it LIHOP?

Yeah Gore would have won...

...if the overvotes were given to him but why should any fair standard assume an overvote go to any candidate?

...and if the MSM had not called Fl for Gore before the polls had closed in the western part of the state it wouldn`t have been close so carry on with conjecture.

The raw fact is that President Bush was never behind in any counting and for Gore to have prevaled would have required the theft you have been crying about for going on a decade now.

Or if the recount was allowed to take place. SCOTUS decided for Florida that it would not be able to complete the recount in time thus handing the presidency to Bush.

SCOTUS new what they were doing was wrong. Why else would they explicitly say in the decision that it set no precedent and was never to used to argue another case.

Look, all I'm saying is that SCOTUS took away the peoples choice. Had the recount happened and Bush still won, fine. Had SCOTUS ruled in favor of Gore I'd be just as upset with them as I am that they ruled for Bush. I just wish that they would have stayed the hell out of it.

You Libtards never cease to amaze me. Especially when it comes to forgetting all the recounts your mouthpieces in the MSM did after the election.

A group led by the NY Slimes spent a million dollars and recounted the vote every single way all the Libtards were saying they should have been counted and guess what....

BUSH STILL WON!!!!

And what the f*ck does it matter now any way? Last time I looked there was the word "former" attached to his name now.

Guess you mouth breathers need this distraction to try and forget what a miserable failure the guy you voted for has turned out to be in the last 8 months.

If two-term Republican President George W. Bush would have lost his home state in 2000, Idiot Gore would have won. If Idiot Gore would have won his home state in 2000, Idiot Gore would have been President.

Unfortunately for Idiot Gore, President Bush won his home state. Equally unfortunate for Idiot Gore, Idiot Gore lost his home state. To compound the fracture for Idiot Gore, the Supreme Court of The United States of America ruled that thieving and crooked democrats FOR ONCE would not prevail in stealing a national election by cheating and changing rules as it went along.

Democrats and the idiots who worship democrats and liberals, like the Little Goons, know these truths. They aren't outraged - still NINE YEARS LATER - about a "stolen" election. They are outraged because the democrats and Idiot Gore was stopped cold while attempting to steal the election. So actually, the Little Goonie types are outraged because the election WASN'T stolen. This applies to the Little Goon posting in this thread, too.

What about all the absentee ballots that were not counted? Funny how those were primarily from the military. You do know how we tend to vote.

safeharbor laws pre-existed long before Gore v Bush and for the express purpose of not leaving everything in limbo when some spoil sport tries to snivel his way into office.

But SCOTUS didn't deide on safe harbor, they decided on the fact that SCOFLa (pun intended) was re-writing the law.

Please, tel us about all the military absentee ballots Gore protected. Tell us about how Gore didn't just place his challenge on the 3 counties--all run by democrat canvassing boards.

Save your breath Sparky, I voted in Broward county in 2000. There were no stolen votes and nothing was wrong with those ballots.

The guys who won Florida were Elian Gonzalez and that ICE agent in the startrooper outfit,
sent in by Chelsea's dad (Janet Reno).

That one photograph swayed thousands of Cuban-American votes, and offset the western
panhandle Republicans who were discouraged from voting when the MSM told them Gore had
won the election and their votes didn't matter.

You should not call our new moonbat, DUmmy Lleu, a clueless ****ing moron. There are some
clueless morons who are otherwise decent and civilized people. Our new moonbat, DUmmy Lleu,
is simply a DUmmy. When someone is a DUmmy, the clueless ****ing moron part goes without
saying.

Which recount? The first one, the second one...the illegal one...the one that they decided they'd change the laws and only count the counties that vote Dim?

You do realize that they still recounted all the votes...and Bush won the state fair and square. No? I guess you're lefty MSM "forgot" to mention that little fact, huh?
