I was referring to the FL thing where you have a conspiracy to disenfranchise voters starting with the Governor's office. While you may call it "just politics" it requires a cast of thousands to carry it out -- the same inherent flaw in all mass-scale conspiracy theories. In which case, there'd have been mass squealing following shortly thereafter.
Do I think politicians are above reproach? Hardly. But most aren't suicidal and THAT is exactly what the outcome of such a massive effort to defraud would amount to.
As far as the voting machines go, I don't question that as I know nothing about it.
Do you really think Jeb didn't do everything possible to make sure his brother got elected -- including having his secretary of state (Baby Bush's local campaign manager) make sure that black voters had a harder time getting to the polls?
There was "squealing"... the right said we were "whining" and Gore decided it was better for the country to go down without a fight. Might have been the right decision from a global perspective. Doesn't mean that there wasn't anything to complain about. Don't you remember the black congressional dems refusing to certify the results?
It's only suicidal if someone is willing to do something about it. When you have the executive, the courts and congress, no one's doing nuffin. And the Florida high court got overruled by Bush v. Gore.
