Is Al Gore mentally ill ?????

<< The fact that their suits have not been dismissed out of hand >>



Really, Harvey? Two of Gore's suits were dismissed &quot;out of hand&quot; on Friday. One of these was done with prejudice by the Florida Supreme Court. For those of you who don't know what that means, I'll translate it: We're sick of your crap, so don't EVEN think about bringing this one back.

Study: Gore Would Have Won Error-Free Florida Vote


12/03/00


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIAMI (Reuters) - Democrat Al Gore would have beaten Republican George W. Bush in Florida and would now be the president-elect if all the state's contested ballots had been error-free and completely counted, according to an analysis of voting patterns published on Sunday.

The Miami Herald said the analysis it commissioned indicated the Democratic vice president would have won a flawless Florida election by 23,000 votes, capturing the state's key 25 Electoral College votes, which are now officially held by the Republican governor of Texas.

Florida state officials a week ago certified Bush as the winner of the Nov. 7 presidential election by a mere 537 votes out of some 6 million tabulated in the state.



Lawyers for Gore were trying a lawsuit on Sunday alleging flaws in Florida's balloting system and seeking a hand recount in some counties they claim would show Gore won. Other recounts opposed by Bush's lawyers have narrowed Bush's lead over Gore.

For the analysis, the newspaper said its reporters collected data for all of Florida's 5,885 voting precincts, including absentee ballots and those disqualified for such reasons as showing no vote for president or more than one vote for president.

The extra 185,000 uncounted votes were then shared out to Gore, Bush and other minor party candidates, according to ratios drawn from the official tabulations in each precinct. The newspaper said the analysis assumed all ballots included a vote for president, an idea hotly questioned by Republicans.

The newspaper quoted Republicans, who insist the bitter post-election struggle has been clearly settled in Bush's favor, as saying the analysis carried out by journalism professor Stephen Doig of Arizona State University was &quot;statistical voodoo.&quot;

Doig told the newspaper Gore's victory statewide would narrow to 1,443 votes but would still hold up even if as much as 90 percent of the 185,000 uncounted ballots were excluded on the assumption those voters were ignoring the presidential election and were voting for just state and local offices.

Fact check: Statisticians dispute Gore's math on Miami-Dade hand counts.

<< Proclaims Cheney &quot;a healthy man, his voice strong and vibrant&quot; while knowing that he is in the hospital and going to have a heart corrective procedure. >>



The reason Bush said this was because he talked to Cheney after the first round of tests that showed nothing. He didn't know at the time of the comment that Cheney indeed had a heart attack.

Wow, that's quite a come back Red! I'm really impressed. That's right up there with something Shocking Blue would say, you related? Ya glorified thread crapping nef!

I don't like Gore. I never have. Still, I'm willing to allow that he continues to hang on out of a real sense that he has won, if only he can prove it to everyone's satisfaction, and not because he just can't let go.

Nevertheless, still he's a loser -- in both senses of the term.

<< TextCheney is healthy enough to be VP. There are millions of people who have heart problems and still live active lives. Cheney looked like he was in good shape and was back working his normal hours. The doctors say it will not stop him from being Vice President. >>



The point is that Cheney has to be ready to be President should the office require it. If legal procedings about election counting is enough to give him a mild heart attack, what will more serious matters cause?

Bottom line is that GW should not have proclaimed him 'healthy' and 'vibrante' as he did. The man is one crisis away from having a serious heart problem.

Hmmm sounds similar to Teddy Kennedy's story.

UG,

Yeah there must be some really tasty allure to the Throne that really attracts these scumsuckers. Wealth, power, lands, title? Or...by god could it be...a true calling in one's life? Nawwwww.....

Russ -- <<One of these was done with prejudice...>>

And one was dismissed without prejudice. Translation: You are free to refile your petition at the proper time, or in the proper venue.

And one was not dismissed. The judge just finished hearing it about an hour ago. Then, there are still several other serious questions to be resolved.

BTW, some of Bush-lite's petitions have also been dismissed, and some are pending. That argument cuts both ways. No points for you on that one.

Algore is going down now-just listen to the pissed off attornies.

 

[vi edit]

OMG! You just described....a politician!

 

[jacobnero6918]

Al Gore is really going to feel this one if he really does lose. There is still a chance that he could sue his way in. If that doesn't happen he will just be ruined for the next 4 years. I doubt he has been getting much sleep. It hurts more to lose a really really close one.

Did gore win?

I nice example showing that right wing idiocy goes back much further than 2008....

Al Gore is what you get when you remove all responsibility and rationality. He did make the South Park game that much better though.

Is there a deleted necro we're missing or has Scholzpdx gone off the deep end?

 

[preslove]

Gore won, but a political court gave it to their party's idiot, who proceeded to lose a necessary war and start an unnecessary war that turned a shithole secular authoritarian state into a failed state, while forgetting to raise taxes to pay for the decades+ long wars.

Is that a rhetorical question? Has he not shown any hints as to having already jumped, flailing with glee? :biggrin:
