didn't Bush's cousin call Florida FIRST for Faux News (you know, the state where Bush's brother was governor and the list of voting irregularities, suppression and abuses have been well documented)
Where were those voter irregularities occuring? IN DEMOCRAT counties, particularly the same ones that had the same problems when Clinton was president with a Democrat in charge of the ballots.
Eventually Bush was selected POTUS by the Supreme Court in spite of having lost the popular vote
is that what you meant when you wrote "Bush won straight up" and "the media called FL for Gore before all the votes were counted"
Bush wasn't selected by the Supreme Court. When ALL of the ballots were tallied on election night 2000, BUSH was the winner, not Gore. Had the media (i.e. CBS, ABC, NBC, etc) not called it for Gore, before all the votes were tallied (particuarly in the panhandle, which is on Central time, and just happens to be a conservative sector of the state), Bush's margin of victory would have been beyond the reach of an automatic recount.
Five weeks of recounts....BUSH NEVER LOST HIS LEAD.
He won the machine recount; he won the hand recounts. Even when the libs kept changing the rules and trying to limit the recounts to Democrat-leaning counties, Bush won those; he NEVER LOST HIS LEAD.
The Supreme Court simpley said enough is enough. Or, to coin a phrase from instant replay in football, "The ruling on the field STANDS!"
