Guess I don't know how to interpret this post. Do you mean to imply that what happened was a good or bad thing?
Cannot tell if this is sarcasm or if you truly believe "winning at any cost" is justifiable.
whatever, it truly was a sad moment in America's history.
The events were sad, the outcome was sad, but worst of all, the actions of the GOP machine in Florida not being taken seriously and measures not taken to prevent such an occurrence from possibly repeating itself is the saddest part of all.
This is not about one's political beliefs. Maybe Bush was the better candidate. Maybe Bush truly would have won the Florida electoral votes anyway. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Anything is possible. But the fact will always remain that there was great injustice and that whether or not it had any impact or not on the election, people were deprived of their right to vote. And that is inexcusable.
No one should be gloating over what happened. If Gore's brother was Governor, and everything that happened were reversed, even the most anti-Bush Democrats would be embarrassed and outraged.
Why is the GOP machine non- apologetic? Why is Katherine Harris a hero to the machine rather than being outcast as an incompetent (or worse)?
It is a joke to me that the Democrats that complained about the process were said to be demonstrating "sour grapes". I do not understand how this small minority of continuous objectors can even be considered a factor in the fallout of what happened.
The Supreme Court made a decision. Right or wrong, the country abided by it. That is the law of the land. The Democratic party abided by it. Gore himself abided by it.
It is hard (impossible) for me to imagine Bush (and his family and supporters) accepting these same results if the tables were turned.
Again, I don't think it pays to dwell over what could have been, or should have been. It is over. But if Vinny-Nolan-Whoever thinks this is something to gloat about, then that is pathetic. I don't believe a miniscule fraction of 1% of the most staunch Republicans could think what happened is something good. Something to celebrate. Something justifiable in any sense.
Thankfully, whatever Vinny-Nolan-Whoever thinks is not representative of the people. (Assuming his feelings are as they appear to be).
Why politics have to be celebrated at this level is shameful. And certainly un-American.
Peace,
