Just like there were a lot of his supporters down in Florida
when they tried to storm the office of the people trying to do a recount? Or, were they athletic supporters? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ...

Just like there were a lot of his supporters down in Florida
when they tried to storm the office of the people trying to do a recount? Or, were they athletic supporters? -- "j" ganz @@ I remember seeing that on cable news. A bunch of middle-age and older guys in golf shirts and white loafers were shouting because the Miami- Dade (democrat) poll officials were taking the recount behind closed doors, against Florida law. On the tape they looked like a bunch of retired car salesmen and accountants yelling indignantly, about as frightning as my grandma. Scary only if you're about five years old. Another case of the Gore spin outliving the true facts. -------------------------------------- Text: Bush Legal Team Makes Remarks Tuesday, November 28, 2000 http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/docs/...mbush11-28.php Following is the full text of a Tuesday news conference held by George W. Bush adviser James A. Baker III to introduce senior members of the Buwh campaign's legal team. [snip] BARTLIT: My name is Fred Bartlit. I'm going to talk about myth number two. That's the myth that Miami-Dade would have conducted the manual recount unless they--if it wasn't for a Republican mob that intimidated the canvassing board. Gore lawyer Ron Klain said that a mob stormed the counting facility to stop the count. That's the myth; here are the facts. The board is composed of independent David Leahy, a supervisor of election for 26 years, a highly experienced individual, and two other sitting judges. What was being protested was a violation of the Florida Sunshine law; the count was moving behind closed doors. The New York Times was at the forefront threatening litigation if the count wasn't opened. Mr. Leahy said that the demonstration was - all he saw was something that was noisy and peaceful and nothing else. There were babies in the crowd. There were little kids there. There was, in some ways, a holiday atmosphere. Mr. Leahy and others said that they were not intimidated. They said the count was stopped because they could not possibly - could not possibly - meet the deadline set by the Supreme Court. The air in the room when they made the decision was calm, it was relaxed, there were no shouts. There was no pressure in the room. There were many, many police there. There wasn't a single arrest. No one ever asked the crowd to desist. A statement under these circumstances about a mob storming a counting facility is desired to heat up the situation, and it really is time to tune back the rhetoric. |

SV Good for You Scotty, Should of stopped and said hello. If you dropped my name he would of invited on the bus for a steak dinner and some excellent Texas wine. He's been so busy lately I havent had a chance to sit and talk with him fer a while. Not like the good ol days when I could call him any time in Austin. Last time I talked to him he was just up the road visiting NASA when the shuttle was lost. I hope to see him again before he wins the election, I sure he will drop by before November. Joe |

..., about as frightning as my grandma. .... I'm sorry your grandmother was a wus but I have fond memories of my dear now departed mother hurrying to where my brothers and I had four young men who'd vandalized my brother's car shouting "Don't kill 'em - just shoot them a little bit!" or watching her shoot the head off a snake with her Ruger Single-Six. I have a lot more respect for 'grannies' like her than the woosie-assed people demanding gummymint protection from "terrorists". Wonder what Harry Truman would say about the elder Bush's cut and run after Desert Storm? |

You actually know the man?? Yes, Ive meet him several times. More times when he was working in Austin. And Ive meet his dad a few times as well. Also have meet Jimmy Carter, Ann Richards and Loyd Benson. Then tell us, is he really as stoooopid as his looks, speech and actions make him appear or is it just an act to get Homer Simpson's vote? Well he's smart enough to get elected president, and before that gov of the finest state in the union. What have you done to be proud of Veto? Tell us of all the millions of dollars you made for yourself since your so smart. Guess you have a 747 jumbo jet as a personal shuttle to use as you see fit. You may not like him, but millions do. I suspect many more millions like him than Kerry. Dont sell him short, he very swerd and like most successful people hires the smartest consultants in the country. But I suspect you're BSing again - everybody knows all good wine comes from California. Guess you have never tasted Texas wine huh? Were catching up to California in a big way, do a google search on the subject. "Joe" wrote Good for You Scotty, Should of stopped and said hello.
