david c, david c... another delusional non-question about half-truths and misinformation...
Liberal lardheads like yourself want to talk about Florida, which the President won, and only the United States Supreme Court backed him up...
Why don't liberals want to talk about all the shenanigans, down right criminal behavior that took place in New Mexico, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Iowa in the 2000 election that delivered those states to Al Gore, even though there is good reason to have challenged every single vote in those states with good reason to expect that the President would have not only carried those states' electoral votes, but their popular votes as well...
All this liberal whining about the 2000 election is just because they lost, not because they will ever admit to working diligently in many arenas to have stolen the election themselves... Al Gore knows it, and that's why he keeps up with the wounded, poor suffering "I got screwed" act... Everyone who knows anything knows that if an entire investigation took place in just the four states that I mentioned, Mr. Bush would have won many more electoral votes than he was credited with, and quite possibly the national popular vote as well. Why didn't they do it - because the Supreme Court ended it, and the President wanted to move ahead with governing, not replaying old news...
Someday some honest historians will put the 2000 election into perspective - polls being held open in St. Louis and Milwaukee, well past poll closing time, ballots disappearing in New Mexico, and mysterious extra ballots showing up in Iowa, all that helped to tip the balance to Gore...
Get over david c, take your red and blue crayons and color the states any way that you like - George Bush is President, and guess what - he war RE-ELECTED in 2004... this is his SECOND term... which makes you liberals two time losers...

I'm not even going to address your stolen election comment. What I will say is after reading the article, I can't believe how biased the press is (yet again.) Instead of championing Bush and Congress for doing something liberals should love, all the article can do is continue to bash him and put a grey cloud over the event by describing it as nothing more than a pr campaign by Rep. to garner voting favor among blacks. How do you people continue to claim there is no liberal media bias?
Chrikes all mighty!

You really need to get past that myth. If anybody suppressed the vote in Florida, it was the Dems. Every outside audit that was done of the election...mostly by Liberal newspapers, BTW, said Bush won. Get over it, Dude.

I remember in the 2000 election, there were many blacks in Florida who believed that their votes were not counted. I even remember one woman saying that she voted democratic and the computer automatically switchted to Bush before she entered it.
If all that is true, what's the difference what bill gets signed in Washington?

He also stole the 2004 election. I heard last night that Bobbie Kennedy filed a lawsuit about this.. I dont have the details yet.
Yes it is ironic but he was also backed into a corner politically. He fought it tooth and nail. I personally am enjoying the heck out of him having to give in and sign it. muuuuuahhhhhhh

Hoe exactly did he steal the election? If I recall, Gore conceded, then took it back, then demanded recount after recount which all showed Bush had won, albeit by a very small margin, then the Supreme Court finally stepped in to stop the weeks of worthless recounts. Where exactly was the stealing and what proof do you have for it?

You do know that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are real, don't you?
And they all voted twice for Bush, in Florida.

Gore lost because he did not have the tree vote, and Kerry lost because no one knew he was running. Bush stole the election!! hahaha Take your party's advice and move-on.

It's good that he signed it but bad that your such a douche bag you still believe he stole the election.

He did no such thing in Florida. You are gullible and ignorant if you believe that BS.
