And your point is???? If Gore was President (and should have been, since he won the 2000 election), the war would never have happened. Hillary did not prosecute the war and did not make the horrible executive decisions that Bush and Cheney made. Even your hero Trump is smart enough to know that Bush and Cheney deserve the vast majority of the blame for Iraq.
My point is the war is supposedly such a thing to you, yet you're voting for the only candidate in the election who authorized it. You're a liar, it's just a lame political attack to you.
And how did Gore win? He lost every recount, including the media recount. You're just assuming the four liberal counties would have successfully stolen it?
Yes, she voted for the war and she fucked up. I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter and Clinton definitely isn't my first choice. However, it's pathetic how you dishonest Repugs try to equate her mistake voting for the war with the horrible executive decisions made by Bush and Cheney. There is no comparison between Bush's mistakes and Clinton's mistakes when it comes to Iraq.
You Repugs own the horrible legacy of the Iraq War so quit being little pussies about it and just admit it, like Trump has.
A full recount of Florida was never completed in 2000 because the 5 Republican justices on the Supreme Court stopped the FL recount. This is a historical fact. To this day, a full recount of Florida has never taken place. Gore graciously conceeded because he put his country before himself. Unfortunately, we ended up saddled with Bush, the worst President in history, because of this.
I'm not a Republican, moron. I'm a libertarian.
Wrong as well that it was stopped by 5 Republicans, the vote to stop the recount was 7-2. The 5-4 vote was whether to allow the Florida court to ignore Florida law or not
And wrong again:
Media Recount: Bush Won the 2000 Election
And you keep saying Gore won, what is that based on? There is no objective standard he won.
The Florida Supreme Court did not ignore FL law by allowing the recount. So your spin is nonsense. What the U.S. Supreme Court did was unprecedented -- the U.S. Supreme Court rarely, if ever, involves itself in state election matters. The 5 Republican justices on the U.S. Supreme Court overstepped their judicial bounds because they wanted Bush in the White House. There was absolutely no legal precedent for the U.S. Supreme Court to involve itself in the Florida recount and their final decision on the matter also had no legal precedent. The U.S. Supreme Court absolutely disgraced themselves in Bush vs Gore.
And there are a bunch of other facts that you conveniently ignore. First of all, 18,000 people did not vote for Pat Buchanan in Palm Beach County. I don't think Buchanan got 18,000 votes in the whole state combined. The people who voted for him in Palm Beach County on that butterfly ballot obviously meant to vote for Gore.
In addition, over 80,000 people (mostly minorities) were illegally prevented from voting in FL because they were purposely and erroneously put on an ex-felon list and these people were not ex-felons. There is indisputable evidence regarding this. Gore easily would have won if these 80,000 people had not been prevented from voting. These are the type of voter suppression tactics that Repugs are quite fond of.
So Gore won because Democrats were too stupid to follow a line to punch the right hole, LOL. That's more funny than anything. And there were a lot of things that happened. The media calling the State when the Republican panhandle was still voting was huge. I a lot of discouraged Republicans left line and went home.
And Florida did have a full recount, it said that W won. It was the sham hand voting the Democrat Election Commissions in four Democrat counties were doing that was a farce.
You'd trust Republicans hand recounting, sure you would.
The machines counted and recounted the votes. Allowing Democrats to keep discovering Democrat votes was a complete farce. And the election laws were created by the legislature and followed by the executive branch. The courts stepped in and ordered without any basis in law to keep counting until enough Democrat votes were discovered to flip the election.
You know, Gore had another way to win. Win his ... wait for it ... home State!
That was classic
Wrong again, there was never a full recount in Florida. You claim to be a libertarian, but you're obviously a Repug in disguise or highly sympathetic to Repugs. And you ignored what I said about the 80,000 people illegally being prevented from voting, like intellectually dishonest Repugs typically do.

The Florida Recount of 2000
According to a massive months-long study commissioned by eight news organizations in 2001, George W. Bush probably still would have won even if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a limited statewide recount to go forward as ordered by Florida’s highest court.
Bush also probably would have won had the state conducted the limited recount of only four heavily Democratic counties that Al Gore asked for, the study found.
On the other hand, the study also found that Gore probably would have won, by a range of 42 to 171 votes out of 6 million cast, had there been a broad recount of all disputed ballots statewide. However, Gore never asked for such a recount. The Florida Supreme Court ordered only a recount of so-called "undervotes," about 62,000 ballots where voting machines didn’t detect any vote for a presidential candidate.
