Who, like Charlie on the MTA, has never returned. I don't know if Seagull Posting is against the rules, but it should be.

Yes, that's correct. If the recount had gone forward under Gore's request, Bush still would have won. And this was according to a study done by the New York Times. If the Times couldn't figure out a way to count the votes so that the Democrat would win, there was no way that Gore could have won. As far as Katherine Harris, one of the functions of the Secretary of State in many states is to the purge the voter rolls of felons, dead people, and other people who are ineligible to vote. I mean, come on, it's not Chicago. ![]() ETA: The biggest reason that Florida was close enough for Gore to demand a recount in the first place was the media's decision to call the state for Gore before the polls closed in the Florida panhandle, which tended to vote Republican. Even if the early call only cost Bush a couple of thousand of votes, that was still enough to put the issue in doubt. |

That's one of the worst things about Trump's candidacy. There are valid and good arguments to be made about issues like voter fraud, immigration, money in politics and a whole host of other issues, but Trump is such a buffoon that no one making those arguments can be heard over that **** shouting and being a clown.
Although the whole voter fraud thing reminds me of a very old joke: During the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon election, two union guys in Chicago are going through a cemetery writing down names to register and vote for Kennedy. Toward the back of the cemetery where the graves are oldest, one gravestone has worn away to almost nothing over the years and one of the union guys spends five minutes squinting at the gravestone and shining his light at it trying to decipher the name. Finally the other union guy says "C'mon, let's go, we got plenty of names" and the other guy replies, "Hey, give me a minute, this dead guy's got the same right to vote as any other dead guy!" ![]() |

IIRC, Gore did not actually request a statewide recount. He requested recounts of some precincts that he thought should have had more votes for him. My recollection is that somebody's independent recount determined that had just the precincts he requested been recounted, he would have lost, but a statewide recount would have made him the winner.
In other words, Gore's attempt to game the recount would have backfired, had he succeeded in getting the recall he wanted. I kind of like Bill Maher's take on the 2000 election: "Bush didn't steal the election, but it did fall off the back of the truck. |

FReepers live in a world of hate- and fear-driven distortion and delusion, an alternate reality fed by the vast propaganda industry founded by Rush Limbaugh and an army of clones who discovered that right-wing demagoguery and character assassination are very profitable. Reality check: The Bush administration was the most quantifiably disastrous misadministration in our history, just as intelligent people like Al Gore predicted it would be. |

Some people, not you, but some people take a long hard time to see the truth that republickers hate people who are smarter than them*. It hurts their widdle feewings and makes them lash out at their betters.* (also)
*Democrats, Libertarians (well, not Gary, but) and the like!!! That's how the Drumpfster came to rule the lost republickers for a little while - and destroy their hearts and souls in the process. (Their minds had been kind of mushlike since the early 80s). |

The problem is, she was also eagerly purging people who were eligible, but "fit the description".
And every credible investigation into the "in the booth" type of election fraud turns up with the same answer: "its not an issue". Voter ID laws and such do far more to damage the integrity of an election. That's when thousands of eligible voters are barred from exercising their right. |

Old fart posters of a certain age might remember it more like this:
We were sittin' round talkin' 'bout the one man ambush And the fool piped up and said he's go So we scrounged up some frags and a .357 And bowed, and showed him the door... But did he ever return, etc. |

Key to breaking the glass ceiling
An idea has occurred to me here....
Elect Donald Trump, and we can actually have a woman for a first lady..... as opposed to what we've had for the past eight years..... |

Pathetic.
You people are lucky that Michelle Obama has no political aspirations because she could become President herself if she wanted. |

This looks like a reference to the theory that Barack Obama is gay and Michelle Obama is actually a man. Is that what you are saying? If so, this thread belongs in CT rather than politics. If that's not what you're saying, please explain more clearly what the intended topic of this thread is. (If it is what you're saying, then there's no need to reply; your lack of a statement that you mean something else, and explanation of what that something else is, will be sufficient for clarifying which section of the forum this thread belongs in.) |

Knowing Donald Trump, I sincerely doubt it would be the same woman for all four years.

It is a very good sign that the Donald followers are so desperate. Deep down even they know he is going to lose.

Thank you for confirming that this is indeed intended to be a thread for discussing the conspiracy theory that Michelle Obama is secretly a man and that Barack Obama and others close to Michelle have been trying to keep that a secret. I can understand your reticence to say that more clearly in the OP. As conspiracy theories go, this is one of the more embarrassing ones. But since you want to discuss it, let's pretend it's a serious claim. So: Theory: Michelle Obama is actually a man disguised as a woman. |

Sad little troll.
The one about how NASA technicians are walking around on Mars fixing rovers was stupid, but good for a laugh. This one is merely stupid and hateful. Goodbye, sad little troll. *!plonk* |
