Default Alaska for Obama?

Tom, could you explaine that, please? What corruption?

Dave



lessee.....vote suppression, bogus counting process, a few other things.
And, for the record, such corruption of popular vote goes on in countless
ways, nationwide, all the time. In 2000, in Florida, it just allowed the
elected officials of Florida(GOP) to 'declare' victory of a candidate under
dubious circumstances, with the Supreme Court maintaining the state's right
to do so.

Probably does. It was said that JFK (whom I voted for) won Chicago
and therefore Ill. because of voter fraud.

Have you read the supreme's decision. It simply affirmed that the
State of Florida could not change the voting laws post facto. There
were, what, 5 recounts with Gore losing all of them. The law stated
that the results had to be in by Jan 1. The Florida Supremes tried to
change that law with their own Chief Justice recusing himself because
he knew they couldn't do what they tried to do. Apparently he was the
only honest justice on the Florida supremes. BTW, ALL the supremes in
Florida were appointed by Democrats. They did recounts and recounts
and recounts, with Gore losing every one. The Dems wanted to only
recount one district - heavily Democrat. Was that the correct thing
to do? Yeah, if you wanted Gore to win.

So, are you saying that they should have kept up the recounts well
past the day the president was to take office, or until Gore won a
recount? I will guarantee that if Gore won just ONE of the recounts
the Florida Dems would have declared him the winner. Just ONE. Bush
won ALL the recounts. Dimple chads, pregnant chads, hanging chads ad
nauseum..... Gore LOST. Get over it.

that's pretty must established fact, not hearsay. If you want to generalize,
the Dems get out the vote from the deceased better, the GOP has fraudulant
absentee balloting down to a science.

not my point, David. Something was clearly up with turnout and votes for
Buchanan in a lot of districts. No investigation was done by the GOP-led
state government.
It was a very fraudulant, crooked election from a notoriously fraudulant,
crooked state. And, it affected the national election, in that case. You
will note, however, that I defended the electoral college system, as I feel
it's purpose of evening out the importance of densely populated and rural
areas serves the country well. As for getting over Gore losing, hell, I
wasn't surprised that he lost in the first place, so nothing to get over
here......

Were not the Dems guilty of the same thing on numerous occasions. The
school bus incident in Philly comes to mind, along with the dismissing
of over a thousand absentee ballots by military personell in Floriduh
because of some silly technicality.

It was the ballot form, Tom, the ballot *approved* by the Dems.

The only thing fraudulant about it was the attempt to recount only
those districts which were heavily Democrat. Gore lost. Live with
it.
