Well, he has a point. The problem is that his point is full of logical
falacies. The American people did elect Bush. In our system, every
person - aside from certain felons and people deemed mentally ineligible to
vote - have the right to vote. The first decision every voting age citizen
makes is whether to vote or not. If one opts not to vote, his vote is
actually cast with the majority. The non-vote is essebtially a persons
conscious decision to go with the majority. So, if you aply this logic
(which incidentally is the topic of one of the Federalist papers that is
assumed to have been authored by Jefferson), Bush won by an even wider
margin, sisnce you would add all registered voters who did not cast a ballot
in the Bush column. Remember, a ballot not cast is a ballot cast for the
winner of an election.

The American people, in general, did not vote for Bush. In fact, the
majority of people eligible to vote didn't vote for Bush. Only the
majority
of those who voted, voted for Bush.

As usual, you're just plain wrong. But, keep squirming.

So in effect Jon claims Bush was elected in a landslide by a minority??

Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!! How stupid is that??
