That's what happens when Nasty people do Nasty business dealings -- underhanded dealings against the best interests of the America people, that is!

The reason being is that they caught so many instances of Florida ballot-box stuffings for Bush, and the Texas firm that Gov. Jeb Bush hired to oversee the updating of the voter records ended up updating a large number of Gore voters right off the voting rolls! So much dirty, sneaky, illegal, underhanded crap wen on that this last election was a complete farce! If Gore does end up somehow getting more votes than Bush, it still won't prove anyhting, Republicans having "morally cheated" throughout the entire thing. Nop wonder Russians jokingly offered to come over here to America to watch the voting places, just as we've had to do in the past with corrupt political systems to ensure that afiar and democratic election takes place. At the rate of misconduct by Republicans, it woouldn't be a bad idea at the next elections. Help to keep the Republican Brownshirts from intimidating any more outcomes.

Yeah, that and selective recounts. Lets only recount the disticts that vote 90% democrat. It's only fair.
PS.
How do you stuff ballot boxes? Did you vote? I'll bet you probably thought the butterfly ballots were unreasonably complicated too.
If you think either one of those parties are worth a fuq, then I don't know what else to say. It's just that I can't afford all the taxes the democrats want to take from me. I don't make enough, I guess.

Well if dumbya won Florida in the landslide many republicans claim, poor Jeb should get in easily, and so will dumbya in 2004. The people will show us who really won last year. With all the jobs being lost many "republicans" I know are thinking different. Like one told me "what good is a taxcut if people arent working".......

Well SarahAW, you are new here. I should tell you that I have been scolded by AW moderators for less. In fact, I've even had an AW moderator go and snip out a phrase I wrote and twist it so hard that it eventually violated the guidelines and then that moderator gave me an informal warning! No rational person could have made such a correlation between the phrase and the guideline, but it happened. The worst was that your supervisor backed it up 100%, which tells me the exact level of professionalism I can expect from AW. Now I don't mind playing on a dirty field, just so long as I know where everyone stands!
So, Sarah, you'll forgive me if I expect others to toe the line - moderators included. After all, I have to go the extra mile to make sure that my words can't be twisted around so far as to violate the CGs again! So, if I seem snippy, I hope you'll understand.
Remember, address the topic not the Member
