just after Bush stole his first presidency.

Bush won the election by every recount so far - have you found a
different
result? I would like to see it. I am not some blind follower of Bush
but I'm
getting tired of this stupid "Bush stole the election" crap. What
happened
in Florida was absurd, but the result has been verify many times.

???

Perhaps you are unaware that the the Republicam members of the Supreme
Court
stopped the recount.

Well, that would be because the recount was being performed in
violation
of
state and federal law in a biased manner that threatened the accuracy
of
the
election, and therefore the recount was ruled to be unlawful. The
Supreme
Court is neither Republican nor Democrat, it's a neutral body that
rules
on
the law, not on politics.

True or false: it was the Republican appointees to the Supreme Court that
voted to stop the recount.

Time to prove you point. Just exactly how would this recount allow Gore to
win the Presidency??

I have no idea.

For the sake of this argument, let's say the court stayed out of the
matter,
and Gore would have won this recount as ordered by the Florida Supreme
Court.

How would Go

1) get rid of the slate of certified Florida Bush Electors send on
11/26/2000, via the remedy crafted by the Democrat majority of the Florida
Supreme Court in Palm Beach County Canvassing Board vs. Harris???

2) get rid of the slate of Bush electors that the Florida Legislature was
in
the process of sending on 12/12/2000 (the Florida Senate was to vote on
12/14/2000)??

3) If he would get this far, how would he keep Congress from disqualify
his
slate of electors that were send via an a recount that violated 3 U.S.C.
section 5????

4) If he could not keep his electors, how does he win in the US House???

Here is a link to the law that would be used. One thing to keep in mind,
who
controlled the US House and the US Senate.

I have no idea.

As to what every recount so far has to say, it depends on who you ask.
For
every http://www.bushwatch.com/gorebush.htm there's a

However, the ultimate arbiter has spoken. Clinton and Kerry both lost.

Actually, Clinton won.

I think you mean Al Gore.

And as mentioned, thanks to the Republican appointees the Supreme Court
who
halted the recount, it will forever be known as the election that George
W
Bush stole.

Only to those who do not understand the Electoral College System.

No, I daresay a great many people who understand the ECS still view it this
way.
