I CAN NOT TAKE THIS ANY LONGER!!!!
you 'socialists' said that i was showing my ignorance with supporting capitialism, now i must show you your ignorance in this subject. BUSH WON the election--get over it. i'm going to snap if one more person says he stole it. first of all, i know that gore recieved more 'popular' votes, which is a shame, but what counts, if you didn't already know this, is the Electoral votes. only the Elector college's votes really count.
ok, but gore would have won if he would have won florida, right? of course he would have, but the important thing is, HE DIDN'T WIN THAT STATE! after 3 or 4 media covered recounts--some started before the last one ended--bush still had more votes. Not to mention that the recount(s) was(were) only for the most liberal counties in FL. after about a total of 15 recounts, all of which showed bush winning, they stopped them--but you won't hear about that on your CNN.
Bush is the rightful president right now. i'm not saying that he is the best man for the job (actually, i don't know if there is any man good enough for this hellish 4 year term), but he is a hell of a lot better then gore!!!
gore is an ass. he has done nothing good for our country, and i hope he leaves the political life forever. him and clinton are both the bane of American politics
