Less Than One One-Hundredth Of One Percent
That's the percentage of the Florida vote by which Gore lost the presidency. Yeah, it was stolen - but if Gore had gotten another one- or two-hundredths of a percent more, he'd be finishing out his second term now.

We must all pull together to run the Republicans out of the White House. Every last vote counts. The person you alienate with your post might cost us the presidency - so let's all keep positive, and get this thing done.

2. words the history books will reference in amazement
"but if Gore had gotten another one- or two-hundredths of a percent more, he'd be finishing out his second term now."

Contemplating that fact and contrasting it with this seven-year chapter of horrors in our nation's history is absolutely mind-boggling.

Asian people would all commit suicide in shame if thay had done what the American electorate did by putting that cabal in power - twice.

3. I don't get it.
MannyGoldstein, you say that Gore had the election stolen out from under him by the bushes and (in my opinion) the Dancing Supremes. If it was stolen, what difference would another vote or even another 1,000 votes make?

The bushes stole the elections twice. They have lied, cheated, stolen, tortured and murdered while in office. The evidence of their illegal and immoral activities is lying around in the dark corners throughout the administration. Are they really going to just turn over the reins of power and the hidden evidence to a duly elected president?

I think there is a mighty struggle coming our way.

5. no, he needed a million more votes.
he needed more than they could steal. or he needed to have been more cynical. like especially cynical enough to have busted the brooks brothers riot.

6. If it was stolen then your post makes no sense.
It didn't matter how many Floridians voted for Gore in 2000, FOX News and K Harris called it for Bush.

There is a major dramatisation coming to HBO at the end of this month called "RECOUNT". Not to be missed.

10. It is easier to steeal if it is close to begin with. I will never understand the Nader thing.
Yep, Gore was just like Bush. I know its been reshashed a million times but all those Hillary supporters need to realize its Obama or Rethugs. Rethugs don't care about healthcare or ending the war or the middle class or the economy. Make the right descision or else face 4 more years of Rethug rule and our rights being chipped away.
