42 different recounts and Bush won them all. If the SCOTUS had stayed out then Bush still would have won. .... Originally Posted by JD BarleycornI trust Pat Buchanan's knowledge of the election , of which he was a part, way more than yours.
I trust Pat Buchanan's knowledge of the election , of which he was a part, way more than yours.Well, thank god for voters who are too stupid to figure out a ballot.
What you are looking at are snap shots. If you look at the big picture, Gore would have won if the ballots were not confusing in Palm Beach Co. That is just a fact you Bush apologist will not admit because it is above your IQ capacity.

Pat Buchanan himself has admitted that most of his votes in Palm Beach County were meant for Al Gore, saying he "did not campaign and bought no advertising there" (Nichols, 2001, p. 86). He added, "I would say 95 to 98 percent of [the votes] were for Gore" (id. at p. 89). The day after the election, many people were upset, saying the butterfly ballot was confusing. When the election results were "too close to call," Buchanan worried he would be charged with costing Gore the election. He said he got more media coverage after the election than he did during the campaign (id. at p. 84). The graph to the left showing an abnormally high Buchanan vote in Palm Beach County suggests the butterfly ballot cost Al Gore thousands of votes, more than enough to have won the presidency.

No, it just shows you the IQ capacity of the typical Democrat voter. If they were confused by the ballot, they should have asked for assistance. And you are forgetting who designed the butterfly ballot in Palm Beach. I will give you a hint. It was not the Republicans. Originally Posted by NiceGuy53+1

If anyone thinks that Gore would have been a better president than W is delusional. Gore would have been equally as bad. There wasn't a true choice between Bush and Gore. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Plus, Odumbo has involved the U.S. in Syria's civil war and has committed U.S. military assets to actions in several African and Southwest Asian nations.
Do you really think any other President would have taken this country into an elective and unfunded war like Bush did?
There is no way that Gore or any other President would have gone into that stinking quagmire nor would he have approved all those tax cuts to the wealthy that drained our treasury.
. . . Maybe it was the fact that Bush fucked up this country so badly that made it possible for Barack Obama to become President and frankly, I think he has done an admirable job in getting this country back on track!
