"Wait a minute, who sued? Gore and Kerry both filed suits."

I mean reality is reality. And whats honestly scary is the twist on facts and reality. People will no doubt beleive anything.

I wonder in ten years how reality will be twisted and the truth be literally shifted.

Oh, here is a little bit on the law suit by G.W. Bush vs. Al Gore. truth, and reality.

"Per Curiam
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

GEORGE W. BUSH, et al., PETITIONERS v.
ALBERT GORE, Jr., et al.

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

[December 12, 2000]"

It is their usual MO.
In the Bush administration "the negation of truth is so systematic. Dishonest accounting, willful scientific illiteracy, bowdlerized federal fact sheets, payola paid to putative journalists, 'news' networks run by right-wing apparatchiks, think tanks devoted to propaganda rather than thought, the purging of intelligence gatherers and experts throughout the bureaucracy whose findings might refute the party line -- this is the machinery of mendacity...The point here is not the hypocrisy involved, though that is egregious. The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary. No wonder the Bush administration feels no compunction to honor the truth or seek it; it conceives truth as a tactic, valuable only insofar as it is useful against one's enemies

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

A less depressing way to say it is reality and truth do have a liberal bias.All the lies in the links below are still used here on this board regurlarly by conservatives even after they are debunked.

Conservatives ignore facts, logic, truth and reality? Are we not the ones who have been echoing the possible consequences of an immediate withdrawal from Iraq while the liberals draft non-binding resolutions, attach pork to the troop funding all the while your supreme leader in Congress gives his blessing to legislation that doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of passing? Is your question a typo? Did you not mean "libs" instead of "cons?"

Read the opinion carefully:
"On November 27, Vice President Gore, pursuant to Florida’s contest provisions, filed a complaint in Leon County Circuit Court contesting the certification.".
