Answer 1

Hi yall. I'm a little ol contry bumpkin who falls for all right-wing hate ray-dee-oh. Gawd save us from any Democrat who might pull us out of a quagmire in Iraq. Yee-haw! Retards.

And yes,you're right on the money

Answer 2

The premise of your question is completely invalid on every level.

In the United States our political and legal system functions on legitimate evidence that is overwhelming enough to be considered proof of the controversy at issue.

We do not give credence to rumor, speculation, innuendo or sour grapes in determining issues, scandals controversies or elections.

That being said, there is no credible evidence let alone proof that George Bush ever stole any election whatsoever, going back all the way to when he was in grammer school. If there was credible evidence you can be absolutely sure that the New York Times, the Washington Post or any one of a large number of newspapers that do not favor the Bush Administration or its policies would have disseminated the evidence to the public. They have not. The reason is because there is no such evidence let alone proof.

Instead, what has happened in terms of the election is a completely legal process and procedure which you do not understand. Understanding it is not difficult and I urge you to check the facts that are very very available all over the internet. You might think about starting with Wikipedia.com

In essence, the United States Supreme Court made a completely authorized legal determination about an election law controversy brought to it by both the Democrats and Republicans, the main parties in the election. The Supreme Court did so within the letter, tenor, intent and meaning of the legal and political system which existed in the United States at the time and exists today.

However that is entirely separate from the issue of whether or not the United States can or can't spread democracy.

Do you seriously contend that a country should only act humanely in the ininterests of its people and the people of another country if it is acting entirely consistently with its past actions.

If you do, and contend that the United States acted undemocratically in some way with respect to its own election, and so shouldn't "spread democracy", then you are necessarily implying that the United States should be entitled to act undemocratically toward all the nations of the World that it deals with, since it allegedly acts undemocratically toward its own domestic elections.

Are you really contending this? I think not.

What you are really attempting to do is provide a rationalization to denigrate the efforts of the United States in creating a regime change in Iraq or Afghanistan or both.

Rationalizations are not reason, they are bias, masked as reason.

Answer 3

In response to some of the recent observations, I am an ex-Republican who has abandoned the GOP -- and indeed the democratic process itself, I will probably never walk into a voting booth for the rest of my life -- solely because of the issue of Bush's request for an injunction to stop the counting of ballots in Florida. Bush's request for an injunction was so appallingly bad for its lack of legal merit that I am far too embarrassed at it to support it -- certainly not out of blind party loyalty. Bush did not steal the election of 2000, and maybe the Supreme Court's conservatives did not ACTUALLY steal that election, but those Justices did TRY to steal it, which in an of itself makes those five conservative Justices criminals. I strongly agree with Vincent Bugliosi's book "The Betrayal of America."

The rest of the world should legitimately look upon America as hypocritical for trying to "spread democracy."

Answer 4

Still holding on to the 2000 election, eh?! When emotion is trumped with logic in a debate - the liberal response is to whine and cry foul. (Just look to the recent Mexican election where the liberal lost - he's following the liberal playbook from 2000) Have you ever thought about looking at yourselves and the message you are sending to people? No, it can't be that main stream Americans don't relate or want to relate with the liberal message and agenda. No, it can't be that besides the presidential election you lost the house, senate and governships. No, it can't be that Americans are tired of leftist activist judges cramming immoral laws down our throat. No, none of those issues had anything to do with the democraps losing power. Conservatism is growing and will be confirmed this November and in Nov. 2008.

Answer 5

That is false on two counts. First people around the world see him as the president.
Second he didn't steal the election. Do not bring up the crap in Ohio because you only know the fallacies presented to you by you crappy little talk shows. Truth is the polls where over burdoned by the number of people tring to register the day of the election. Furthermore the number of complaints would not have changed the out come of the election.

Answer 6

This is a dichotomy I have been struggling with ever since I was in the UK in 2001 and all my colleagues at the time were constantly ribbing me about our fraudulent president.
With hindsight, I now know that it was imperative that his backers had him in the Oval Office to pay back his dues. Legitimacy and Integrity are not to be found anywhere near this president.

Answer 7

There is a simpal explantion for this. We are not trying to spread Democracy. We are trying to spread our Influcne in the Middle East. They just call it Spreading Democracy, it sounds nice right.
What they really mean is there is a shortage of oil and if we dont get to it before China we are screwed.

Answer 8

and so it is.
do you have a better suggestion for voting?
just be glad you're not in a 3rd world country or the middle east. we voted him in as president and honestly our choices weren't great. had to pick the lesser of 2 evils. kerry would have been worse...

Answer 9

well, I am from around the world and I see him as voted in as a ligimate President. Actually I like your President. God save us from Al Gore and John Kerry with his "I" "I" "I"

Answer 10

common sense is rarely sensical and hardly common.

Bush beat Gore, and he beat Kerry. If you cannot see that, then you do not believei in the constitution, or are ignorant of it.
