Ten years ago, Al Gore tried to steal the presidency of George W. Bush. That is how the story should be written for all of history, but the left will try to spin it otherwise. Rehashing every single moment in the 36 day 2000 Election drama would be more boring than an Al Gore speech. A decade later, some things that were true in 2000 remain true in 2010. Richard Nixon could have sued to challenge the election of John Kennedy in 1960. There was real election fraud, with dead people in Chicago and other dirty tricks in LBJ’s home state of Texas providing the difference. Nixon refused to challenge the results because he did not want to plunge America into a constitutional crisis. Republicans are the party of laws. Democrats are the party of lawyers. Even when Nixon was on the rocks, he resigned to avoid an impeachment trial. At his two lowest moments, he wanted to spare the country from crisis. Bill Clinton and Al Gore continued the tradition of Democrats trying to win at all costs, regardless of who gets hurt. The 2000 election combined with the Clinton impeachment also led to the left embarking on a poisoning of our culture that we may never recover from. While the original politics of personal destruction began in 1987 with drunk driver and negligent homicide perpetrator Ted Kennedy verbally butchering Judge Robert Bork, the 2000 election finally allowed the leftist lunatic fringe to run wild. George W. Bush did not steal the election. He simply won a close election. There was no fraud, unless one counts Al Gore trying to manufacture votes with concepts such as “undervotes.” Voter intent became whatever Gore said it was. Yet to the rabid frothing left, President Bush was an evil murderer, torturer, Nazi, Fascist, racist (stop me when you’re bored from the slurs) bigot who “stole” the presidency. The left never ever gave him a chance. They despised him from the moment he was declared the winner. On every issue, their predetermined opinion of him led them. By responding with civility, Bush made them more enraged. They will never accept that he won the presidency honestly. The left did not complain when the the liberal media led by Bush-despising “fake but accurate” memo supporting Gunga Dan Rather gleefully called Florida for Gore before the heavily Republican Panhandle polls closed. The left had no complaints when that same liberal media in conjunction with Al Gore broke the Bush drunk driving scandal four days before the election. In 2000 and 2004, the left did everything they could to get into the gutter to drag President Bush down with 11th hour hit jobs. No gutter is too low for the left. The left complains that he was a “Supreme Court appointed” president based on a 5-4 vote. Would the left say the same thing had Gore won 5-4? Of course not. The Florida Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in favor of Gore, and the left was hailing the decision. The left has used the courts for decades to force their agenda, yet dare to criticize the courts the rare times they lose. Lower district court rulings went in favor of Bush, and those judges were Democrats, including N. Sander Sauls. Liberals dismissed this as rulings by “Southern Democrats,” as if that should mean anything other than liberals dismissing anything not in total agreement with them. Then Al Gore did what liberals do. He tried to simply make up new rules. Rather than agree to a statewide recount, he tried to only have a recount in four heavily liberal areas. The goal was simple. Get the lead, declare that the American people were “exhausted” by the process, and declare that we should all “move on.” This tactic allowed Al Franken to steal the Minnesota Senate seat from Norm Coleman and for Christine Gregoire to steal the Washington State Governorship from Dino Rossi. Those elections had real voter fraud. Eventually it was ruled that Gore had to have a statewide recount, but that there was no time to get it done in time by the deadline. Had this been New Jersey, the deadline would have been ignored, which is how Frank Lautenberg illegally got back on the ballot to steal another election. Yet all Florida did was enforce the law. Democrats claimed that Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris was a partisan hack. Yet they had no problem with a Democrat Attorney General using every legal trick in the book to get Gore over the goal line. Again, conservatives are about laws. Liberals are about lawyers. Governor Jeb Bush was accused of rigging the election for his brother, yet any honest assessment showed that he recused himself from every major decision, an act of unilateral disarmament given that his Attorney General kept shilling for Gore. (This is where the left goes berserk for being conservative and existing. What they cannot and will not do is say I am wrong. Every fact I laid out is right, so their hyperventilating is boring.) George W. Bush would go on to lead America during trying times punctuated by the horrors of 9/11. His heroism on that day will be remembered forever. He retired to his ranch happy and at peace. Al Gore turned into a raving lunatic resembling the homeless man in the town square rambling to anyone who would listen. Despite making about a billion dollars thanks to Google, he remained empty and unsatisfied. He won meaningless statuettes like Nobel prizes and Academy awards, but lost his marriage. His one area where he received adulation was his environmental lunacy, and he even recently admitted what we all knew. He is a fraud. He said so himself, regarding Ethanol subsidies. When all is said and done, Al Gore was willing to destroy anything and everything to become president. The nation did not matter. He wanted power, and to heck with all who got in his way. Now he has unchecked power, burning lear jet fuel in the name of conservation and celebrating climate change through Winter Break party junkets in Cancun based on science extracted from equally fraudulent “scientists.” Looking back, we now know that the better man won the election. Those who support hatred and poison and confuse enemies with opponents will still cling to Al Gore, but their arguments are as hollow as the Goracle himself once the self-righteous tree stump is removed from his hide. George W. Bush is a far better man than Al Gore will ever be. Legally and morally, the better man won the 2000 election. In 2010, the gulf between these two men is wider than ever. Al Gore is only relevant because the Daily Kos, Huffington Post, and Moveon.org lunatic bigots will not let him leave. They share a mutually parasitic relationship, empty shells reassuring each other that they are not vapid morally bankrupt wastes of space. President George W. Bush is a gracious man of honor, integrity, and character. He is a man comfortable in his own skin, a man at peace. Al Gore leaves a legacy of lawsuits, election disruptions, and lies. George W. Bush leaves a legacy of leadership. That is what is left of the 2000 election. The right man won.

The Day the Presidency Was Stolen from Al Gore and the American People: December 12, 2000, and the Supreme Court Coup Share Submitted by BuzzFlash on Wed, 12/12/2007 - 4:35am. * Analysis A BuzzFlash News Analysis "About 10 p.m. EST on December 12, the United States Supreme Court handed down its ruling in favor of Bush by a 5–4 vote, effectively ending the legal review of the vote count with Bush in the lead. Seven of the nine justices cited differing vote-counting standards from county to county and the lack of a single judicial officer to oversee the recount, both of which, they ruled, violated the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution." * The Fateful Moment in the Silent Coup That Stole a Presidency
The very same statement can be said for every month of every year with every new Police State/Empire action. Obama attacked his 'supposed' base on the Top 50 000 Tax Give Away. Like that. 8D Justice ain’t blind, she just wears a blindfold to keep you in the dark about what she’s looking at. That’s the real scar from Bush v. Gore, and it’s a scar that ABA president (and Boies Schiller partner) Stephen Zack desperately wants to heal. He writes an impassioned editorial in the New York Daily News: The Dec. 12, 2000, ruling against Gore – the culmination of what was likely the most politically charged case ever decided by American courts – was very difficult for his supporters and attorneys. But we must now look ahead and beyond politics to ensure our courts remain strong, respected, fair and free of influence by whoever holds sway at the moment. Perhaps that’s why, today, David Boies (my law partner) and Ted Olson, antagonists in Bush v. Gore, are working together on the ABA Task Force for the Preservation of the Justice System to ensure our courts are protected, respected and adequately funded. Lady Justice need not remove her blindfold and hold her finger in the air in order to feel the direction of the currently blowing winds. It is crucial, however, that she remain strong and healthy. That’s a message we must all get behind. Sorry buddy, but that ship has already sailed. The message you want everybody to get behind no longer comports with any understanding of reality.
that's actually true - but if there had been a statewide recount, Gore could have won (depending on the standard used for recounts).
it's the only ruling I can think of that specifically said it shouldn't be used as precedent in future cases.
It’s all politics; Bush v. Gore proved that. That is its legacy. Both parties are dirty, both judicial philosophies are compromised. Both sides will shape “the law” to support whatever political outcome they prefer. But I suppose we should just “get over” that too — right, Justice Scalia? "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."
And thank you. 8D IT Couldn't be used as a precedent. November 29, 2010 4:52pm Just How Bad Was Bush v. Gore? It's been ten years since the Supreme Court decided Bush v. Gore, and everyone involved--especially the justices themselves--would like it to slip out of our collective memories. Brown v. Board of Education was cited 25 times in the decade after it was decided, Roe v. Wade 65 times. But not a single time has the court cited the ruling that ended the 2000 election. Justice Antonin Scalia frequently urges audiences to just "get over it."
By a handful of votes only under the most favorable conditions.
yep.
The Real pisser is that with the SCOTUS stealing the 1872 Election at least the South got free of Reconstruction. To this day I can think of nothing the Dems got in return for this butthurt. ;}
1876
George W. Bush would have won a hand count of Florida's disputed ballots if the standard advocated by Al Gore had been used, Again, because Scalia got scared and violated the State Law, killing the stripper at the bachelor's party.... It's the Cover Up that gets you.
The fact these clowns are still bitchin about this tells you its a waste of time to even discuss it.

Nope. Just noting the facts about this, bucky. As for how things are today...compare pre Pelosi Galore Speaker to what we have today, across the board.

Otherwise, he's outtahere. Which I predict will happen again on this thread. 8D As wrong as your prediction the Gulf Coast was going to be evacuated... (laughing) I don't think about 'winning an arguement' with the insane. Nor do I post for anyone's benefit but my own. If you weren't nuts, and self absorbed, you'd have realized it a long time ago.

1876 Yes. I confuse the Panic of 1873 and the End of Reconstruction with the Compromise of 1876. Thank you. James ;}

I Was There and I Still Can't Believe It, Laurence H. Tribe reminisces for The New York Times. Tribe argued before the court on Gore's behalf, and the justices' questions hinted that the court might stop the recount. "But not even those hints prepared me for the 5-4 late-night decision in which the court announced that equal protection demanded a more uniform approach to counting the ballots — only to add that, having itself run out the clock, it sadly had no choice but to end all the counting that very night (Catch-22!).
Never Gonna Get Over It, Scott Lemieux writes at Lawyers, Guns and Money. "It’s true that the decision was 'judicial activism' by any standard, but then the tradition of conservative 'judicial restraint' that Toobin cites is just a myth; conservatives, over the history of the Supreme Court, have only shown restraint when greater activism would tend to lead to substantively liberal results (and vice versa.) And even the sudden conservative embrace of an expansive conception of equal protection in vote counting wouldn’t be that unusual or especially problematic if they were willing to actually follow through and take the alleged new principle seriously. But not only, as Toobin notes, did the Court assert that the principle couldn’t be applied to future cases, the principle wasn’t even applied to the case itself. Based on the Court’s own reasoning, the count that gave Bush the presidency was just as defective from an equal protection standpoint as the recount ordered by the Florida courts. And then there’s also the fact that the decision was the end result of a Catch-22 created by the Court itself. "
Believe They’ve Killed the Gulf, deniselngbch, December 12, 2010: (at 5:00 min in) There is absolutely no sign of life in the water. None. There is no bait fish there is no shrimp. Nothing. Not a hermit crab. Just absolutely no signs of life whatsoever. None. I believe they’ve killed the Gulf. I really do. Another Planet Killing op by your favorite Corporations. And that's Laughable. You bet, be. You the man. ;}

I see you have your nose up Newt Gingrich's asshole again. Man, when shall you learn that once any of these people get into office (particularly higher office) they sacrifice the People for the comfort of their lobbyists. I presume within your own lexicon that you still ride the political pendulum siding with Rush Limbaugh as the People vote Republicans; and yet, you also side with Rush Limbaugh as the People vote for Democrats. Today, everything that is manifested in America is a certainty. No matter whom you vote for on the political pendulum, you lose.
How is the Gulf Coast evacuation proceeding, mcclown? Has the death toll now exceeded one million, you fookin lunatic?
Most people know you are a fookin lunatic, mcclown!
with all due respect, except for maybe Dick Morris, you are the last person who should be highlighting the prediction errors of others. Or are you going to tell us that the tax deal didn't really pass the Congress?
Isn't Dick, one of the proponents of the Clinton administration that said Jennifer Flowers was a liar?
Dick has tried to redefine himself as the 2nd coming of Rush Limbaugh, but his track record of making accurate predictions is up there with badeye's.
No one approaches mcclown's prediction of the evacuation of the Gulf Coast and a million fatalities as a result of Obama's oil disaster!
Does Morris lie about it the way BE does?
I see you fabricate the views of others, and then make statements based upon your created fantasy, bucky. Same old same old.
Atascadero sure has a large number of idiots (laughing my ass off)
Merry Christmas to you and yours GO65. You had a rough year politically. Been there myself...but not THIS YEAR.
Atascadero sure has a large number of idiots (laughing my ass off)
and the TOP 50 000 Always pay more taxes than they should. 8D
And that's circular logic. 8D
And I've yet to see one of your 'arguements'. ;} Just ad hominem attacks and disinfo. post you 'beneficial' arguements at your leisure. Tick Tock.
The Definition of Political Whore? yes.
Touche' LOL
You had a rough year politically. Been there myself...but not THIS YEAR. Thanks and same to you and yours. Your electoral victory translated into growing Republican support for increasing the deficit and Obama's legislative initiatives. I look forward to see how you define "success" next year. But as we both know.... (see signature)
For some reason this is the only part of your post thats readable today. Enjoy. We'll pick up where we left off next week.

And it really doesn't matter anyway. It has already been proven that if Gore had gotten the recount he wanted, he would have lost.

Writing in the New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin tells us that in the decade since the five “conservative” justices stopped Florida’s recount, the Supreme Court has cited Bush v. Gore exactly zero times. Think about that: it’s been ten years since the Supreme Court picked the president, and the Court is kind of hoping everybody forgets about it. Bush v. Gore is like a stripper the Court killed in Vegas when it was there for a bachelor’s party. “She’s got no friends or family, strippers die all the time in Vegas, let’s get back to the hotel and NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.”
