I don?t understand how you people can support Bush.



Are you accusing me of supporting Bush? I did not vote for the man, I did not think he would make a good president and I have greater negative feelings about him now than I did at the time of the election. However, I am not blinded to the facts of the case by my political preferences.

Quote:

This President is the choice of the corporations, not the people...



Which corporations? Do you have any statistics or facts to back this up? Did you know that in the U.S., the Electoral College decides who will be president. Is the Electoral College ?the corporations?? Regardless, corporations are owned by the people, ever heard of ?stock??

I suggest that you read the Constitution, learn about the Electoral college, and try to understand the meaning of the term, ?rule of law.? Because these are what came into play in the Supreme Court?s decision and the results of the election.

Quote:

... and if you think it?s otherwise you?re just loving Big Brother.



Wow, that?s brilliant.


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

Bush didn't steal the election. He won legitimately, but... the election showed that the whole electoral college system is flawed. Gore won the popular vote. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE was ignored in favor of an antiquated system. The sad fact is, if you live in a state with a large population, you are being UNDERREPRESENTED in the electoral process. I doubt there will be any reform because the good ole boys in Middle America will never give it up. They got it good.

The system exists for a reason. Once again I will point out that we are not a democracy.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

True, but we are a Republic based on democratic principles. Anyway, I admit that Bush didn't exactly "steal" this election, and that Gore's hands aren't exactly completely clean in this matter either. The whole election was shady at best. Not that this was the first shady election. After all, entire graveyards showed up to the polls in 1960 to vote for Kennedy.

Wow. I'm impressed.

First... you finally spoke the truth re Bush vs Gore.

Second you pointed out shady democratic election tricks.

Now was that really all that hard?

The one lingering that REALLY bothers me about this, is now every fucking election, the loser is going to sue everyone in sight. It already happened with the congressional elections...Hell, both sides had their lawsuits lined up and ready to go, before they even lost. This makes me sick...

Other than fadedpinkwings and possibly JohnnyRespect, I think most of the conservative leaning folks here do.... when proved wrong. Fortunately for us, it rarely happens.

The best way to stifle laughter is to put a plastic bag over your head and count to 20,000 by ones.

Let us know how it works out for you.
