Blame Bush now?

[red states rule]

I didn't say he was good or bad at business. I really don't care. He's a politician. He's been a better President than either Kerry or Gore would have been, a point libs ignore, choosing instead to attempt to obfuscate that fact by dogging out Bush on a continual basis.

There have been plenty of Presidents worse than Bush. It's just that none of them had to withstand such an ongoing attack from the left and the media every second of the way.

There have been plenty of Presidents worse than Bush - like Pres Peanut Carter for one

I agree with you.

how does one "ignore" an opinion? I think that both Kerry and Bush would have made a better president that Bush. Perhaps, you'll ignore THAT opinion.

How?

By raising taxes, government run health care, and appeasing terrorists?

so when Gore won the popular vote, what effect was THAT indicative of?

Presidents are NOT elected by the popular vote

I thought such a well educated liberal like you would know that

I understand that...but you were the one who said that ::yawn:: was the effect that Gore had on the electorate...and HE won more votes than Bush did...so I guess you are admitting that ::yawn:: is the effect that Bush had on voters as well?

Gore could not shake the Clinton legacy and his constant liberal double talk

 

[maineman]

Gore could not shake the Clinton legacy and his constant liberal double talk

but he DID get more Americans to vote for him.

::yawn:: for Bush!

but not where they counted

Gore did not even carry his home state

I say again:

that is exactly how the folks in Gore's home state felt about him as they voted

Since the Inception of the Constitution ( was that 1787? ) the Presodent has NEVER been elected by popular vote. And Gore and his people believed before the election it would turn out opposite of what happened, they believed THEY would win the electoral votes but not the popular vote and reminded everyone the week before the election that the law was electoral and we should all respect that.

Of course when he lost he changed his tune.

You would think the man who invented the internet, would be smarter then that

 

[The Man @ Lunch]

You sir, are a damned liar.

Now you want to keep this up, or play nice? Choice is yours.

And you, sir, need to read the rules again:

Derogatory statements directed at other members as well as direct or indirect personal attacks are permitted with the stipulation that you generally look like a fool when resorting to these tactics within a serious conversation on real issues. If you're comfortable playing the fool, feel free to do so.

If someone really gets to you and you feel the need to vent, please do so within the confines of the Taunting Arena. If you don’t have thick skin and the ability to take abuse, it is better to walk away from a possible confontation and come back with constructive arguments.

Now you want to meet me in the taunting arena, or you want to start acting like a Marine (who's supposed to have thick skin in the first place) and show a modicum of class?

This is the first I've heard this load of shit.

Prove it.

It is the electoral votes that matter at any rate. In fact, it is the Bushies whose ass you love the taste of, who thought that Bush was going to win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote, and they had plans to make certain that did not stand. And that, is Unamerican. Reminding people that it's the electoral votes that count, isn't.

are you suggesting that Al Gore changed his tune to state that the electoral college was not the law and that we should DISrespect it?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Gore made every attempt to thwart the State of Florida from participating in the electoral college, his whole plan was to keep the certification from happening by th required deadline, thus preventing ANY of Floridas votes counting. He then would have a majority of votes in what was left of the electoral college and believed that would make him President,
