In Reply to: By the way, technically Gore did win . . . - badpenny
He was cheated out of the election. Pleease. That's like saying Clinton was cheated out of running a third presidency. Sorry but there are only so many people living in a county. If you have 62,000 people that live in any county, you cannot have 80,000 or more votes. The math just does not work out. I also don't consider the 100s of ballots that the Gore supporter was creating from the machine in his car to be valid votes, but guess you think that's okay. Guess you think it's okay to cheat as long as it benefits the dems and screws the other side. Bush's brother had nothing to do with it. That would be like saying Bush won Maine because his father lives there. Another fact you have back-@sswards is your percentage of hate spewing. Read all the posts. I guess you don't consider lies about McCain/Palin and insults towards McCain/Palin supporters at hate. If you call them like you see them you seriously need some glasses and your employer should be QAing all of your work cos you can't even see what's in writing in front of your nose.
So, BTW no matter how many lies spewed by the democrats Gore did not "technically" win. He lost. Yes, he lost by a close margin, but no, he did not "technically" win. That's like saying Hillary won because she had more popular votes. It doesn't work like that. I wish she would have won but unfortunately she did not.

Hung up?
I am hung up on this? This is the first time I have posted here, how can you know what I am hung up on? Israel's war against Hezbollan/Lebanon, IMHO, was wrong and we shall see the world and people in the Middle East more hard lined against Israel. Diplomacy always wins in the long run, wars do nothing but kill and enrage people and cause more hate that continues from generation to generation. I think it was telling when Bush was so quick to declare who was the winner. This is how Bush thinks, concrete, good-bad, white-black, winner-loser. In this diverse complicated world, it is dangerous to think that way.
If your not hung up on numbers then don't post about it.
I'm not defending Bush, I'm just getting tired of the Bush bashing. I addressed that below too.
I didn't say you thought Bush was cute or funny, I said you think your comments are cute and funny (they are not).
Bush IS an embarrassment. I will be glad he is not the president anymore. I'm just tired of the Bush bashing and comments made about his IQ (which you did). We get it already, you don't like him. Not sure many do, but enough is enough.
Yes, it's been a hard 8 years. The fact is its been a hard 16 years. Clinton was no better with his gomer pyle attitude and shucks and golly gee. He disgraced the office way long before GW ever took over. The blame for disgracing the office begins with him.
I do hope to see some trials come up. He and the rest of the crew should be held accountable for what they did, but the Bush bashing is getting real old and when you make statements like "A triple digit IQ will be a welcome change for the country" when you know that Bush has a triple digit (that is if you read any websites) your comments are just as offensive as all the other lies put out. I'd find it equally repugnant if people put down and lied about Obama and said he had just a double digit IQ. These lies are getting old.
I'll be glad that Bush is leaving, but there is no reason to celebrate yet. The country is in a world of hurt and we don't know what kind of person Obama is yet. I don't have high hopes as I see people losing their jobs, homes, health care, retirements, etc. That is nothing to be celebrating. If Obama does good and the economy picks up heck yeah, I'm going to be celebrating but not until then. I will celebrate on the anniversary of him being in office, or depending on what happens I will be looking forward to the next election.
You keep trying to defend yourself against what you said, but I find nothing but offense to your original post.
No matter what each of their IQ scores were Obama graduated from Columbia and Harvard, and Bush graduated from Yale and Harvard. You have to be smart to get into those schools. Both of them are. Bush's actions he has displayed - not so great in my books, but neither is Obama's past and what he had done, and especially who he is picking for his cabinet. Definitely not anything to celebrate. I celebrated when they left office along with The Impeached Clinton. Now those nincompoops are back??? Definitely nothing to be celebrating there!
Just please, enough with Bush bashing and calling him names. It's getting real old real fast.
We hung Saddam. Remember. I'll ask again.
You are defending an illegal occupation of a sovereign nation. We are NOT IN CHARGE of Iraq. Sooner or later, we have to leave. Fact: Under Saddam, a 96% Shia MAJORITY was repressed. Those would be the guys US troop literated. FACT: It will be up to the IRAQIs to decide what to do with their OWN new-found freedom to elaborate and express their Shia majority and whether or not democratic Sunni representation will be tolerated or instituted. Fact: The longer we stay there, the more sympathy and support jihadist movements will be able to garner. Fact: The war on terror cannot and will not always be a military fight. There is more than 1 way to skin a cat. Fact: This is not something the US can succeed in doing without GLOBAL cooperation...not likely to happen, given the tarnish we still wear on our own image overseas at the moment. We could use a "smooth talker" with an uncanny ablity to garner the support of his opponents at the helm...someone who is willing to try a few different approaches.
I have already addressed Ahmadinejad in a different post.
The Iraqis hung Saddam. Remember?
If we had pulled out when Obama wanted us to, the Iranian financed insurgents would have taken over and then I imagine first Iraqi Christians (and yes there are some) would be the first to be obliterated and it would have gone downhill from there. I love the way you say FACT: and then present your case. Who says it is fact?
The war on terror may not always be a military fight. But when they drop two buildings and slaughter nearly 3000 innocent people it needs to be a military fight. Why do you think we have not had another such attack?
What if McCain hung around terrorists and attended a white supremist church? (sm)
I would not vote for him.
