The decision was made by the Supreme Court...while it was still relatively left leaning...if you respect Roe v Wade, do you respect this decision as well? I'm not trying to start an argument...I just want to know.

I mean... Republicans still complain about Clinton... and much of that was over 10 years ago... both sides feel the actions have put us in the place we are at (through both Clinton's actions and the Court's decision... right or wrong)
but, mostly... I think they feel burned by winning the popular vote, but not the election... which I can kind of understand... I mean, really more Americans voted for Gore...
But, the way I look at it... everyone knew the rules going into the election... popular vote doesn't matter... electoral college does... those are the rules that were made to play the game... sometimes you loose, sometimes you don't... I'm not pissed about it... I do get a little pissed by Bush's decisions though... but that's another story...
so not all of us are upset about the election... disappointed maybe... but I think a lot of us have gotten over that...

The Supreme Court didn't decide the election. This is a common misconception caused by the fact that the actual decision, which was to stop an illegal recount, resulted in Gore finally conceding, as he realized he had no other way to win.
To sum up: George W. Bush became President by receiving the most electoral votes, including Florida's by virtue of winning the popular vote there. The Supreme Court did NOT appoint Bush to the presidency, nor did they summarily award Florida's 25 electoral votes to him. If anyone disputes this, show me a result for Florida that shows that Gore won the state. You can't do it, because it doesn't exist. However, some whiny left-wingers still cling to the fantasy that Bush wasn't truly and properly elected. Don't let their lies and propaganda confuse you.

I have accepted the decision since it was made. I am still upset about the election. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I have great respect for the Supreme Court, even when I don't agree with their decisions.

It seems that the Democrats are still upset over the 2000 election, why else would they continue to bring up the subject.
The Supreme Court made their ruling on the law.
I am pro life, therefore I am not happy with the law, but I respect the law, and would never try to interfere with anyones constitutional rights.

Democrats don't have a vision for the future, so they rely on the past. Bill Clinton was an idol, Jimmy Carter was under-rated, and by golly President Bush stole the 2000 election! They want us out of Iraq (but don't have a plan for how we'll transition over to the Iraqis), they don't have a policy or vision other than "we aren't the republicans", so they dwell on the past.
Democrats are more concerned about getting the outcome they want than ensuring the "right" process for getting it.

As far as presidential elections go, no matter which party wins, nearly half the people will not be happy. The dems are just more vocal about it.
The Supreme Court decision only supported the election results as the left party tried to negate legitimate votes that only reinforced the ultimate result.

I am not at all upset by the Supreme Court decision. I am upset that the electoral process failed so badly that it had to come down to a court decision. If it were not for local corruption and inefficiency in Florida, the judicial branch wouldn't have to get involved.

No, for several reasons. To much water under the bridge. What you can not change you have to accept. Bush has turned out worse than even the Liberal Democrats thought he would be which makes things better in the future for a terrible price that can not be worth it. We all lost that election and 2004.

OMG yes.
They:
1) still can't believe how STUPID America IS.
2) Would rather the COUNTRY fail in it's mission, rather then admit we're doing a better job then they ever could!
3) Still accentuate the positive.
The problem the DEMOCRATS have is that their willing accomplices in the media are not so all powerful now. Conservative radio points out the idiocy and double standards... and they SURE miss it.
