234 million Americans voted for Al Gore on November 7, 2000. 539,898 more than for George W. Bush. Yet, Bush is in the White House and Al Gore is too gun shy to try again. There is a thief in the White House. George W. Bush - Thief and Chief. Our "Resident". Does it not bother you that the man is trespassing on federal land? He doesn't belong there. We didn't put him there, the Supreme Court did. They should just shut down the Supreme Court and turn it into an Alzhiemers Home. After all, it already has nine patients now!
A coup took place in the United States in the Autumn of 2000. We all saw it. We watched it played out in vivid detail, in living color for a month on the 6:00 news. We watched as the ballots we recounted and recounted again. We watched as there was appeal after appeal after counter appeal. We all watched as a spoiled rich boy from Texas who was probably never chastised a day in his life by mommy, threw tantrums and pouted on national television about how unfair the election was. We watched as he totally rewrote the book on how to win a Presidential Election. We watched as he took our system of elections and ripped it to shreds just as surely as if he was ripping the flag I hold so dear. We watched - - - and did nothing.
Have we as individuals and as a nation become so complacent that we are willing to allow a small group of elitists to strip us of our fundamental liberities? What ever happened to - - - "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"?
For that matter, what ever happened to - - - "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people"? It doesn't say anywhere - - - Government of George W. Bush, by George W. Bush, and for George W. Bush. Trust me, I've looked! But that, my fellow Americans, is exactly what we have. Not one of us has suggested we blow our economy to hell. George made that decision. Not one of us has suppested we blow Iraq to hell. Again, that was George's decision. It suddenly occurs to me George W. Bush reminds me very strongly of Rupert T. Justice's so in "Smokey and the Bandit"!
When will we quit giving these whiney maggots what they want just to shut them up? I don't even do that with my children!
In the summer of 1999 Katherine Harris was both co-chairperson of George W. Bush's Presidential campaign AND the Florida Secretary of State in charge of Elections. Anybody see a conflict of interest here? Can you see a plan forming? How about a conspiracy? Her is where the nightmare that is our country today began. Here is where the fiasco of 2000 started. Here is where we lost control of our own destiny, maybe forever. More than a year before election day!
In the summer of 1999 Kat paid $4 million to Database Technologies for a "review" of the Florida Voter Registration List to remove anyone "suspected" of being a former felon. This was done with Jeb Bush's blessing. That"s correct. The Governor of Florida, who happens? to be George W. Bush's brother gives George's campaign co-chairperson authorization to take people off the Voter Registration List because, gee, we're not quite sure, but, they MAY have been convicted of a felony sometime in the past. The last time I checked, our legal system was based on a presumption of innocence!
By the way Jeb's own wife was caught trying to smuggle $19,000 worth of jewelry into the country without declaring or paying taxes on it. I'm not a math major, okay, maybe I was, but, it doesn't take one to figure out that if she could afford to spend that much on jewelry overseas, then she bloody well could afford to pay the tax on it when she got back! And speaking of felons. The act of trying to enter the county without paying tax on what you purchased abroad is a felony on the Federal scale. OOPS! But, never fear. She wasn't charged or tried, let alone convicted of the crime. I have learned recently there are apparently a set of laws for the rich and and set of laws for the rest of us, and the rich don't have to abide by our laws. Welcome to double standard 101. Please take your seats.
I cannot imagine how George serior and Babs could be so PROUD of this den of thieves.
Florida State law says ex-felons cannot vote. Unfortunately, that means 31% of all BLACK men in Florida are prohibited from voting because of a felony on their record. Black Floridians, overwhelmingly, are registered Democrats. 90% of them voted for Al Gore on November 7, 2000. At least, 90% of those who were allowed to vote, that is.
Through blatant fraud the State of Florida, Bush, Harris, and company removed thousands of kBlack and Hispanic felons from the rolls. Not only this, but , they also removed the names of thousands of Black citizens who had never committed a crime in their lives, along with thousands fof eligible voters who had only committed misdemeanors. That's a mighty wide net they cast. It kind of reminds you of catching dolphins and porpouses in the tuna nets.
This wasn't enough for Kate Harris. She instructed Database to also use a list obtained from another State of felons who had since moved to Florida. This list contained names of people who had done their time and had their voting privileges reinstated. And others who had committed crimes such as parking violations and littering. The State that supplied the list? DRUM ROLL PLEASE! TEXAS!!! Imagine that! D'ya think ol' George ol' buddie ol' pal knew about all this? D'ya think? After all, he was still the Governor of Texas while he ran his "impeccibly honest" campaign.
This all went on under the ever watchful eye of the American media. Did you hear any of this on the news? I didn't, and I watch the news every day. Not a peep. Where were all the minions of the First Amendment? Where the hell were all the wanna be Woodwards and Berstiens? Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but, wasn't it shit like this that got Nixon impeached and removed from office? And he was a GOOD president! Yet, today, no one even reports it! WHAT THE HELL! Have we become so corrupt?
It took the BBC, that's right, the BRITISH Broadcasting System to ferret this story out. And the American Press virtually ignored it. The Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post eventually picked it up, but buried it so far into the paper that nobody could find it, let alone read it. In the Nixon era this would have been Front Page news! Am I the oldest living person on the face of the planet? Does no one else remember any of this? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
We should never become so jaded that this sort of thing doesn't OUTRAGE us anymore!
