Kerry v Bush

No, he didn't, I'm afraid. I'm not sure what makes you think that.

Bush won the first official count as well as the official recounts. There is no evidence to suggest that Gore would have won any subsequent recounts.

here,

bbc coverage

there's way more fanatical sites out there about it,
some with more damning, equally reliable statistics and facts,
posting up conspiracy sites lacks legitimacy though.
BBC can hardly be contested.
good place to see the score with less bias.

That's not the BBC, dude.

Look at the first line:

"This entry takes a Democrat's view of the 2000 US Presidential Elections, but does not represent the opinions or views of either h2g2 or the BBC."

It's an American Democrat's view. It doesn't get any more biased.

*You* might want to check your sources and diversify your reading a little bit before you lecture someone else about the biases of *their* sources, especially when you have no idea what they are.

i mean do you not remeber the thousands of people protesting at his Inauguration?,

maybe it was rash to say gore won, but
to juxtapose the statement you made,
there's no reliable evidence to suggest Bush won.

I can't figure out what your argument is.

Bush won. Officially. He won the official Florida recount as well. He won the election.

I'm no Bush supporter, dude. Far from it. Like I said, I didn't vote for him... but he won fair and square. He won. He became President.

Yea we get a bunch of crappy presidents and people running for president for that matter.

i think the story was that the courts supposedly stopped the counting of a lot of votes.. and at that time, Gore was quickly gaining..

the incomplete count was then declared...

lots of conspiracy theories.. including how a lot of people were struck off the registry and not allowed to vote because they had committed crimes.. "crimes" like parking tickets outstanding and all that..

well, it doesn't matter anymore.. that term of office is long over...

what matters now is that the US is still a democracy... with the privileges and advantages of democracies, come the responsibilities... the responsibility of the people is to make sure that those who are voted in, actually serve the people..

the responsibility of the people is usually forgotten...

it's something the people here in Singapore are also grappling with..

i wish all countries well 8)

it's that mentality that allows our governments to get away with these huge infringments on democracy.
in only been 6 years.
everything else i agree with
this complete indifference of the populace fustrates me no end.

66% of people struck of the registry illegally were black,
through accident or not (although Katherine Harris was never even investigated)
black people in florida typically vote democrat,
90% of those that voted did.

even this simple fact without considering the rest of the discrepencies, irregularities and estimations on the voting system.
would of been more than enough to outweigh the 537 votes he supposedly won by.

The "abnormalities" go both ways. There were many "abnormalities" that would have caused Bush to get way more votes.

In any case, the fact is that he *did* get more votes by official count and official recount *shrug*

the recount was incomplete,
subsequent recounts conducted by various media have put gore as the winner.
with such inconsistencies it can't be said that bush won,
surely you agree that an investigation was required by law but was never conducted.
the woman who in the very least could be accused of gross negligence is now a congress woman


i'm no fan of Gore, i wouldn't of voted for him if i could,
i'm just infuriated by the constant unsanctioned actions by those who are very literally above the law.

The United States isn?t a democracy, we?re a constitutional republic.

I just wanted to chime in....I aslo saw that on TV and I have to say thats why I hate races for office like that. Smearing can turn bad and when you end up putting down an entire government and all their soldiers you only look like a bigger a** than you are!!!

Im shocked.

But not really, cause I voted for Bush too. Its really the lesser of two evils.

Jonny voted for "None of the above"

There were, IIRC, 6 choices for President on the ballot in New York State.

My candidate received almost 400,000 votes nationwide.
