Is it that you don't have to money to buy bullets?

I'd be glad to send a check!

I disagree, papa. I think public sentiment and media bias are a chicken-and-egg phenomenon. Actually, co-evolution might be a better analogy. Both sides are dependent on each other and determine each other's evolution. Like long-blossomed flowers and long-beaked hummingbirds. They evolved and got longer and longer together.

Papa --

With all of the jurisdictions using touch screen machines that leave no paper trail, there won't be anything to recount this time. Now if Jeb Bush decides to systematically disenfranchise black voters again with intimidation tactics (they've already started going house to house in the black neighborhoods), threats, purging the rolls again, the Kerry lawyers will know not to make the same mistake they did last time with that idiotic Equal Protection argument they put forward (which was a loser from the get-go) and this time go right for the 15th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 -- had they argued and won that last time, Florida would have had an entirely different result. One of the possible remedies the court could have ordered under the '65 Act would have been, given the widespread evidence of state sponsored racial harassment and disenfranchisement, tossing out the results of Palm Beach and Miami-Dade altogether and holding a new election for those counties with federal monitors in place -- I don't Bush would have liked those results the second time around.

i can't believe you'd actually argue for buchanan's votes to be stripped away like that! that's just mean-spirited!

but i think it's possible for gw to win it without florida and am looking more at states like minnesota, michigan (which together add up to florida), iowa, washington and even new hampshire and maine (ok that's a stretch). i think that the fight for votes will be longer and more protracted than last time because i really believe that if it's close anywhere, either side will go straight to the lawyers.

it's florida, plum! their motto was almost "state of the living dead." it's the only state with early bird specials at the combination buffet/mortuary.

robbiej your comments on this thread are too funny and what's funnier is that i'm imagining Shirley Booth saying them!

I'll never know what it was I was supposed to be glad to know because it was all deleted and I think that I am probably very glad of THAT instead....

he's posted on the Unbelievable thread...

I'm still here, robbie.

Unlike you slackers I do have a job that requires my attention sometimes.
