I'm beginning to enjoy this election now.
The repubs are fighting to see what part of their agenda they get to ram down our throats first. We are going to deploy a non working defense system. Conservative's kids will get drafted along with ours to die in the neocon wars. We're now hated by everybody over seas. Bush is salivating to turn social security over the the gamblers on Wall Street. In a couple of years people will begin to see that Medicare reform is Medicare going bye bye.

The sooner they ruin the country the sooner they will ask us to fix it again. Fuck them! They brought it on their selves and me to.

1. Sad thing is that almost HALF the voters (that's already factoring in the
cheating they did) did not agree with this administration, and will also get to suffer the consequences of the Bush second illegitimate term.

2. 2nd illigitmate term?
he won the electoral college in both elections, and huge margin of the popular vote this time around. Afraid to say it but both terms were legitimate.

4. The Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes in....
Florida in 2000.

Enjoy your stay while it lasts.

5. LOL
that's a good one! "both terms were legitimate" LMAO!
I'll say this 2nd term possibly is legitimate. The first, no way!

8. It isn't.
Given that he was not the legitimate president after the first election, then he cannot be legitimate now as he would not have been the candidate (presumably).

If you voted for Bush I'll be glad when you do.

7. He didn't 'win' anything
2000 was awarded to him by the Supreme Court who stopped the vote in Florida with chimpy ahead.

And as for the 'huge margin of the popular vote', DIEBOLD and black box voting fixed it.

I see a low post count - coincidence?

11. um...
I voted for Gore in 2000 and Kerry this time around. I believe Gore legitimatly lost and so did Kerry. If the Sepreme Court had not stepped in we would still have no president to this day. The lawyers on both sides had enough ammo to keep that election held in limbo for years. The country needed to get on with life. I wanted Gore to win but in the end I stopped caring when he continued to push the issue and insist on count after count after count. I'm sorry, but accept the initial count at face value and get on with life.

9. The only valid result would have been Kerry by a landslide.
Anything else means they cheated. DUH.
