IMLDS2..."And what about FLA saying that thousands of people called and complained about the butterfly ballot.?
[b]In reality it was the next day a telemarketing firm was hired to call voters in that area and suggest perhaps they'd voted wrong. Hmmm...and who hired this firm?
Why the dems of course!"[/b]
I was watching CNN and they had someone on from the Palm Beach Post, and he said that by 8:00 on the morning of the election, he had already started getting calls about the butterfly ballot. Not the next day, as some would like us to believe.
Also, by 4:00 on the day of the election, they had received so many complaints about the butterfly ballot, that there was a memo sent out to the people in charge at the voting booths about this problem.

This is old news. Why bring it back?
I saw that mob (that's the word I'd use) on the national news the day it happened.
The guards that were there failed to protect the counters. Why did they not do their duty?
They had a stout door they could have pulled back throughj and fired a couple warning shots into the ceiling.
If anyone had forced their way through against a verbal warning and warning shots I would have systematically shot anyone coming through the door. Even a mob has to think twice about crawling over a pile up of bodies in a doorway.
People don't care. They care less now months later.
If as many think the present government is a fiat regime and not legally elected they hold the power and nobody has the stomach to start a revolution against the government with small arms.
Who wants to be in the position of the palestinians who are going to have a war with AK's against tanks and helicopter gun ships?
The South thought they could fight a Civil War based on honor and military tradition against superior arms and manpower and look where it got them.

Oh Come on I was actually there when it happenned. It was not a mob,staged yes, and very theatrical. What constitutes a mob? How many people? I saw a bunch but hardly a mob scene. It was all so boring actually I even ate a sandwich inbetween the boos and the theatre-----The Republicans were just bigger phoneys more organized....What do you expect from a town that speaks Spanish as their native tongue.Most citizens in Miami don't want to bother to learn English--Its one of my pet peeves here---
As for the butterfly ballots poof---it was like punching a bingo card if you happen to hit the right number you got a bingo---
