We have Al Gore VS George Bush.

any regrets? It was a very tight election, perhaps the tightest. Would you take your vote back?

Myself, I only see Nobel vs lesser of two evils?

which seems to be the trend, in the past 8 years.

I railed on for days about the 2000 election and,my coworkers all looked at me and,just smirked.They were largely republicans and,they voted for the god fearing dumb guy. Who turns out to be not so god fearing after all.

Well i left that firm around mid 2000 and,kept in touch with a few of my old coworkers,you know how it goes.doing my own thing and,have been pretty successful.

But the yahoos who stayed there got the shaft.healthcare thru the roof,
one benefit after another taken away and,finally they went out of business.

A few of them that i know about lost their homes.
My main antagonist,lost his home and,ended up moving back in with his mother.

I am not the kind of person to revel in someone elses misery.But he was acting as though it was a football game instead of american citizens having their vote stolen from them by the supreme court.
AS THOUGH HIS TEAM HAD WON.
I felt as though a coup had taken place in what is supposedly the most advanced democracy on the planet.

But when i found out he had lost his home,i wanted to call and,ask him -HOW DO YOU LIKE GEORGE NOW, NA,NA,NA NA NA.- But i didnt.

Hope you feel the same way about ACORN. I know of several family members in FLA. who voted for Bush and their vote didn't count. Not sure how the conspiracy theorists on the left have some how have been turned into saints.

How many of the non-counted and counted votes were the work of ACORN-like liberal front orgs? I mean if we are validating conspiracy theories and all...

I hate that we live in a society that buys peoples votes (ACORN, Votes on Wheels, ect.), intimidates people into voting for a specific party (Unions, community orgs.) and coercers using peer-pressure (all the celebrity adds, liberal professors) 18-24 year olds into voting for "their" party.

I have no problem with maybe %80 of what you say.
But i would say that,those who wish to practice voter suppression and,steal the vote of an american citizen,should get a automatic 40 year jail term.

THATS ELECTION FRAUD AND,RIGGING.
If some yahoos are trying to throw out 200,000 ballots in OHIO. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIX THE ELECTION.
Some idiot puts -mickey mouse -on a ballot,mickey mouse isnt gonna show up to vote.
but someone taking 200,000 peoples vote and,tossing it,they are trying to pre determine the outcome. AND THEY SHOULD GET 40 -50 YEARS.

The same for the good folks at diebold when it comes out that they added and,subtracted votes.

I think it should be 40 -50 years to set an example.
If you believe so strongly and,are willing to spend your life in lucasville,then go ahead and,try your luck. When they throw a few idiots in the clink for 50 years,that will cool all of the willingness to steal another persons vote. JUST MHO.

So you are saying that ACORN fixed the vote in 2000, but that ACORN is liberal? If I am not mistaken in was the Republican brotherhood that stole the 2000 election and aren't Republicans conservative? That's what I thought.

By the way ACORN only sends in or helps people register to vote, it doesn't make people vote and if the registered voters don't exist how on earth could they show up to vote?

You know not every ad is liberal and not every professor is liberal. Most professors I know are Republicans, but no matter what they represent they try to present both sides of the ticket. There are always exceptions, but this is the norm for my professors.

Acorn is a good talking point. But they probably have someone making minimum wage taking applications. This person is not going to look over the applications very carefully. Bottom line is voter fraud is very easy in this country whether Acorn is involved or not. Either party just likes to claim foul when it's close not to change the election results but so the next time they vote they think republicans/democrats stole the last election and I don't want them to do it again. So then you switch sides to their "good" side.

jimmyfrank it makes me sad that you revel in these individuals misfortune. There are poor individuals who are democratic and poor individuals who are republican. I've yet to see any study that concludes the party you choose will determine any effect on your life. Most likely what happened is your company worked in a republican area and they weren't able to whether the storm as well as some other companies. I see that as tragic, not individuals getting what was coming to them.

The real problem is our two party system. Neither are getting it done. Bush doesn't write laws he just signs them and our congress is abysmal(both sides) and has been for a while. I wanted McCain to win if only so the president/congress would clash like when Clinton was in office and neither party could get anything accomplished. Kinda sad when their are thousands of sentors/representatives/executives/cabinet/advisors/actists/etc. and I just hope they don't continue to mess up my life like they have with their economic policies, healthcare policies, social security management, etc. We have a democratic and republican problem. Enough of the finger pointing I want solutions not everything would be hunky dorie but their party is standing in the way.

I liked Bush A LOT in 2000.

He spoke of no nation-building and having a humble foreign policy (How did that turn out). He also wanted lower taxes (which came) and lower spending (which did not come).

I personally still hold the belief today that if 9/11 did not happen, George W. Bush would be one of the best conservative presidents, even next to Reagan and Taft.

Don't get me wrong though, the guy is the worst president in American history. It's just that he went from paleocon (good) to neocon (bad) in 21 months. Thats enough reason to consider him a great president to a piece of cow dung president.

His dad lied to me and,he was evasive during the debates.Which is another way of saying he was lying to me.
Then when -W-debated al gore,it was obvious that he didnt have as good a grasp of the issues and,he was being evasive on a lot of issues.
Then they started saying gore was too smart. how can a president be too smart ? How can a president know too much ?

It has always seemed to me that we would want the best and,the brightest leading the country.
But it always seems to be that people vote for someone who is -DOWN TO EARTH- or -LIKE THEM-.

I DONT KNOW ANYONE PERSONALLY,WHOM I WOULD WANT AS PRESIDENT.

Ihave voted for democrats and,republicans.I thought gore was clearly more qualified.
I thought kerry was slightly more qualified,though uninspiring.

But i really disliked the bush intellect. so that may have been a huge factor.

BUT IF WE HAD ELECTED GORE,I THINK WE WOULD BE SO FAR DOWN THE ROAD ON RENEWABLE ENERGY,IT ISNT FUNNY.

Instead we have bush and,his oil buddies and,$4.00 gas.
We wouldnt be having this crisis.

I FEAR WE ARE GONNA DO IT AGAIN.
I just think the goobers in the woods are gonna fall for the -OBAMA IS A MUSLIM - crap and,then we will have a depression and,not a recession.
If mccain and,his economic advisor phil,get in office,you aint seen nothing yet.HE HAS ALREADY SAID HE WANTS TO DEREGULATE HEALTHCARE,JUST LIKE HE DID THE BANKING SYSTEM.
People dont listen closely enough to what these guys say.
Mccain has said he wants to deregulate healthcare.HOW COME THAT ISNT ON THE NEWS,24HRS.,A DAY.

^^^ Your writing abilities make you so incredibly credible.

I credit you with the ability to make me puke when reading your posts.

How,,does, this loo,k whe,n you,,,,,,try,,t,o, rea,d,,,it,,,? Ye,ah,tha,ts,what,,I thought,,you, said Mr. Jimmyfrank1,,,

To be honest, I liked McCain in 2000, but then I jumped on the Bush bandwagon. I thought he was a little akward, not polished, stright talking, and driven to do what he thought was right. Thats what I came away with. I voted for him.

I see a lot of what I saw in McCain/Bush in 2000 in Obama. I don't know whos tax idea is best, and to be honest, I don't think either of them do either. I am not a economist, and every report I find against one, I can find one for the other...

I have been put off by what I percieve as McCain selling out his 2000 self for a better chance to become POTUS, and if anyone has seen what I write, its no secret I despise Palin...

So I will roll the dice in 2008 on the same feelings that seem to have failed me in 2000. So maybe my luck changes, maybe it doesn't.
