Groan! How many independant recounts has Bush won now? Last count was about 3.

In the recounts, he actually won by a larger margin.

There are also similar stories in the NY Times.

Anyway, the court just decided that a third recount would have done irreparable harm to the Bush campaign. Also, Gore lost the previous two recounts.

If you want to talk about a stolen election, look up Rossi v. Gregoire in 2004. That one actually WAS stolen and could not actually be certified. Gregoire lost 2 recounts and won the third and the election was certified by a margin of 150 votes. Many more votes were discovered hidden in a school that were never counted. I don't see democrats hopping mad over that one.

Once again and pay attention this time -- no one is talking about the recounts immediately after the election. They are talking about the state wide recount done much later. Please see the 100 other arguments about this for reference

Bub, YOU weren't paying attention. The other arguments were from left wing conspiracy sites. Why bother? I am talking about the same recount, bozo!
Here's another few articles for you to not read. This is a state recount after the election. It still shows Bush won, even if a hand recount had been conducted as Gore was asking.

http://www.nationalreview.com/commen...0312100915.asp

http://justoneminute.typepad.com/foo...rald_ap_1.html Here's one that argues the other side, but it's all, "I feel like there were more votes" with no proof.

I am talking about the Media Consortium Statewide Count of "Undervotes" and "Overvotes," which proves Gore won under any standard.

Here is a bunch of info. on it http://archive.democrats.com/display.cfm?id=181

Note - I use that cite because the info is conolidated there.

Funny how this site seems to know more about the results of the consortium recount STUDY (it was a study of the recounts, not an actual recount) than the papers who reported their own results. Again, if you look at the other crap on this site, it is twisting news stories and it presents conspiracy theories.

Sadly, the notion of drilling now will not carry us over in any significant manner and when it does kick in, it will will be in the 2020's

LOVE YOU PARIS!!!!!

I did see that, but again..... Drilling had been proposed from the mid-1990's on by Republicans and it was shot down by democrats every single time. So, what's your point? That the democrats were stupid and didn't allow drilling so we have high gas prices? We'd still be at under $2.00 a gallon and not dependant on the middle east if it weren't for your party.
