I thought Ralph was dead...wow, I guess he's one of those people who never die. Kinda like Bob Barker. Now that's a man I'd vote for. I dunno what his politics are, but I know by the time he left office, every pet in the country would be spayed or neutered!

Al Gore's out riding around in his Hummer. Saw him yesterday topping up at the nearest Texico.

Whatever negligible effect Nader has had on any of the past elections is not the real issue. The votes he got were fair and square, just as a democratic election should be. Whether any of his votes caused one candidate to lose more votes than the other is irrelevent to the election process.

What IS relevent, is the disenfranchisement of targeted voters by caging or other illicit and unethical methods. This is the biggest threat to our democracy and continues on to this day. It's all right here for anyone who wants to open their mind and realize it:

As far as the Katherine Harris connection goes, yes, she played a large part, and anyone who thinks any of this is funny should be seriously questioned as far as their patriotism is concerned. A flashwave video on these facts, uncovered by investigative journalist Greg Palast, was created shortly after the 2000 election and can be found here:

You do not have to defend the relevancy of the matter. I took issue with the "HEHEHE" comment. I am getting the impression from this thread that this is all just some bogus, liberal-concocted tall tale created to whine about dubya "winning" the election.

Eight years and two elections later, we are STILL faced with countless voting discrepancies and incompetence. After eight years of the most corrupt administration since the 70's, (if not the most PERIOD), the potential of another thrown election looms large. Making light of it or pretending it's just so much leftist bunk is outrageous. Every citizen should be outraged at this, regardless of their political affiliation or how the corruption twisted the election results to their liking.

This is not the America I grew up in. You might expect to hear these stories coming from many other less democratic political systems in the world, but not here. As long as I still have my First Amendment right, I will continue speak out against repression and corruption, especially those that strike at the heart of our democracy.

bogotabro - sorry the 'hehehe" offended you but on blogs, and the written word, the facial clues are not available that allow readers to interpret the TONE something is said in.

Sometimes wry humor is missed - and misinterpretted. Obviously you were bright enough to "get it" but there are(sadly) others who would need the extra clue.

Patience and understanding, ... nice to meet you though! :-)

Just a comment... I don't think there is a country in the world today that was the same 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago and there won't be a country in the world that will be the same 10 years from now.
So we are all going to have to get used to change, whether for the good or bad, the only thing we can do is to stop radical politicains from giving a great country away for the benefit of their own deep pockets.
