Mojo, Bush is an absolute moron. No if's ands or buts about it. If he gets into office this nation will quickly become the laughingstock of the rest of the world. That is all I have to say.

I am often amazed at what people will actually allow to come out of their mouths in this forum. I understand everyone has a right to their opinion but some need not speak before they think. In Florida there have been numerous allegations of wrongdoings that is no fault of the voter but those in charge. According to some of the voters in Palm Beach County, there were complaints that the ballots were confusing because of the positioning of canidates and this was BEFORE November 7th. In fact, here in Orange County, we had a ballot similar to the one they used before and it can be very confusing because the arrows are not exactly positioned directly in front of the canidate. The NAACP has been listening to testimonies all day today from various communities and some of these stories are astonishing to say the least. The most incredible was the finding of a voting box at a church in Hillsborough County. Kwesi Mfume sent investigators to the police precinct to confirm this allegation that a police officers offered as testimony. The investigators came back with confimation and a photograph of the locked box. They have yet to investigate the contents of the box. The people who gave their testimony reminded me of stories from the past when people were not allowed to vote using any means such as tests, Grandfather Clause, intimidations, etc. I take my right to vote very seriously. One reason is because my grandmother and great grandmother narrowly escaped injury or death along with other families who were forced to leave all that they owned behind simply because a Black man tried to exercise his right to vote. This happened in 1922 in the city of Ocoee, Florida. Therefore, I do not take any of these issues lightly. To put it bluntly: there is a huge problem in Florida. Many have been DENIED the right to vote which is a constitutional right. If you want more direct information about the issues surrounding this, you can watch C-SPAN.

Ania-I do agree with that last statement. I heard someone say two nights ago that we should throw Bush and Gore out of the race and have a new election with all new candidates.

It seems to me that Granny is the negative one. If you think Canada is the better choice, you should have left a long time ago. Don't cry take action and leave. If you don't like your life, change it.

32-This country a laughingstock. If you haven't noticed, it's been that way since the LewinskyGate affair. No pun intended.

By the way an EXECUTION is not more cost effective then keeping a person alive for 70 years, but either way who are we to say that a person should be put to death ...

and p.s. being rude does not make one right.

Who's being rude, I'm talking the finance of prison versus death penalty.

I modified my post due to the direction that it was going. I was stating MY personal opinion on Bush. Mojo we all have our personal opinions! I pray, hope, and wait that things work out for the best.
Gore supporter all the way through.

This nation isn't the laughingstock of the world. I cringe when I think about what would have happened around 9/11 with Gore as President.

Little32 · #25 02-21-2007, 02:33 PM

^^Dude. Go. Away.

We wouldn't be at war, and we wouldn't have injured Veterans held up in molded, rat infested motel rooms. (check out the Washington Post for more details)

Hey neat, you actually read the paper one day and found something interesting. You might want to check back and see that officials are now acting on this information. Believe it or not, Bush doesn't know everything that goes on in the country. Its completely idiotic when people on here consistently blame him for anything that happens within the government. I think its great the Post reported on this, it brought attention to the subject and hopefully we'll see quick action to begin fixing the problem. That is a role of the press. If the media would spend more time doing things like this, more might get done. However, usually they spend time blaming things on the administration when the blame should be placed at different levels (Katrina).

As for war, we may or may not be in one. God knows what response Al Gore would have had to 9/11, if any. I'm sure Iraq would be a stable DICTATORSHIP if Gore was president, which would be a great improvement for their citizens...

As for Little, if you bash US leaders, I'll respond whenever I damn well please. If you want to start a separate forum titled something like "People who don't know anything about government or politics-Post here!" I'll be happy to seek my entertainment elsewhere.

Only a republican would be concerned with the system of another country when we have things at home that need our attention (all the while the well being of our soldiers is a vague after thought and the wishes of the citizens are overlooked).

I am not surprised.

Seriously, take a government class. Turn on the History Channel. Republicans are the only ones concerned with systems in other countries? You must be kidding me. I guess thats why Johnson did such an excellent job getting us out of Vietnam. Oh, and Clinton in Somalia. We should get our priorities straight and just focus on America...Wait, what about Darfur?

The wishes of the citizens are being overlooked? Why, because you voted out the evil Republicans and we're still in Iraq? Thankfully, we don't have people like you making decisions for us. Apparently you're unfamiliar with the NON BINDING resolution passed by the Democratic-controlled House. I guess that NON BINDING resolution shows just how serious the Democrats (your party) are at getting us out of Iraq, just like you asked them to.
