    When rolls are scrubbed just before the election to disenfranchise 54,000 people who were then found to be eligible and are majority Democrat, yes, there is something wrong with YOUR truth. Add the fact that the Palm Beach County had 5,330 votes cast for the cross-party combination of Gore and Pat Buchanan, compared with only 1,631 for the equivalent cross-party combination of Bush and Buchanan. Those mistaken butterfly ballot votes ALONE would've swung the difference to Gore.

  • I miss Ashleigh Banfield.... :'(

  • I'm glad this monster is out of office. God riddance, fuck him and Dickhead Cheney. 

    Sadly, it took more than 4 years for most to realize how much of a scum piece of shit that this president was.

  • Gore did not win in 2000. the vote was razor-thin in florida; however, he still lost. certain people have a problem with that truth. moreover, you all are right regarding how this country went down the tubes during bush's presidency. it went down the tubes because neo-liberalism completely permeated this country. alas, bush pandered to the left too many times. stop being sheep, people. i know it's fashionable to bash bush; however, it is a bit trite now. :-)

  • no gore lost the electoral vote blame who ever does that

  • He started off pretty good.

    Then after 9/11...

  • You mean fuck up of the world relations -__-'

  • thank god for the stupid fuck of bush because that way we got Obama. Gore won! <3 Obama

  • Hmmm.

    How many "common folk" were invited to last night's innaugural balls? Hmmm?

    How many folks WITH TICKETS were turned away yesterday from the innauguration!

    Of course the media has NO PROBLEM with that!

  • not the first time that happened in history, by the way
