-=> Quoting Roy Witt to Lee Lofaso <=-

 >>LL> That's right.  Which is why Al Gore was our legally elected
 >>LL> president.
 
 >>RW> He would have been, had he won enough electoral college votes to be
 >>RW> President.
 
 >>LL> Since not all valid votes cast in Florida had been allowed to be
 >>LL> counted,
 
 RW>> You mean, the ballots that had 'hanging chads' were not counted.
 RW>> Those are called 'invalid' votes.
 
 LL> Five justices of the U.S. Supreme Court forced the recount of all
 LL> valid votes cast to be ended prematurely,

 RW> Wrong. They ordered the counting to stop after the FLSC told the
 RW> counters to do it again, only count the invalid votes too. They were
 RW> already on thier third count, btw.
 
 LL>  thus awarding the presidency to GWB.

 RW> They can't award the Presidency to anyone.

Lee isn't familiar with the laws of the US, especially with the 
dictates of our constitution ... [sigh] ...
 
 >>LL> the electoral votes awarded to George W. Bush were invalid.
 
 RW>> He won them fair and square, after the AlGore fucked up by not
 RW>> asking for all voting districts to recount.
 
 LL> Gore did in fact ask that all votes throughout the state of Florida
 LL> be recounted.

 RW> Wrong.
 
That Lee!  He writes such *funny* stuff at times ... heh heh heh 
... in actuality Gore *feared* that *all* of the Florida votes 
might be counted.

 LL> Bush objected, and never asked for such a recount.

 RW> Bush didn't ask for any recounts, but he did object after they started
 RW> on thier third count; changing the vote count criteria each time.
 
 RW>> Perhaps he would have won enough popular votes to win, but it wasn't
 RW>> very likely.
 
 LL> Had all valid votes cast been allowed to be counted, Gore would have
 LL> won by over 50,000 votes.

 >>LL> In other words, five justices of the U.S. Supreme Court awarded GWB
 >>LL> the state of Florida based on incomplete results.
 
 RW>> Wrong, as usual.
 
 LL> I stated the facts, such as they are.

 RW> Wrong again.
 
Actually Lee doesn't know what the word "fact" even *means* ...

 >>RW> As it was, he couldn't even win the popular vote in his own
 >>RW> state, nor that of his former boss.
 
 >>LL> There is speculation that GWB also stole the state of Tennessee.
 
 RW>> LOL! If you believe that, you're an idiot.

He believes!  He believes!!
 
 LL> It is plausible, given the relationship GWB had with the mayor
 LL> of Knoxville.  Or was it Nashville?  Anyway, the theory is that
 LL> GWB and the mayor are gay...

 RW> You sure post a lot of bullshit to wade through.

That's what he's *paid* for ... I think ...
 
 >>RW> Knowing that, he began the fiasco that emerged from that election
 >>RW> in Florida, which the left leaning State Supreme court tried to
 >>RW> throw his way, but the USSC overruled their crooked efforts to give
 >>RW> the election to AlGore.
 
 >>LL> If an election is held and the secretary of state says "STOP!"
 >>LL> in the middle of votes being counted, declaring your candidate
 >>LL> as being the winner due to your candidate being ahead at that
 >>LL> point,
 
 RW>> How many 're-counts' do we want to have before it gets rediculous?
 RW>> She stopped the counting in the middle of the third recount and
 RW>> rightly so.
 
 LL> Aside from the automatic recount mandated by Florida law, there was
 LL> only one recount of the entire state of Florida. And that recount was
 LL> never allowed to be completed.

 RW> Wrong again.

By now you must be getting used to Lee's writing-style:  Black is 
white, up is down, this way is *that* way ... etc. ... [sigh] ...

... Comes in Regular, Nonfatal, and now NEW Fatal!
