And Gore just wanted to count all the votes in Florida!
Not so. He requested a recount only in the four Democratic counties he'd already won. His lawyers issued a memo showing how to disqualify overseas absentee ballots (which tend to me military and Republican). His lawyers also tried to throw out EVERY SINGLE VOTE in Seminole County (which voted for Bush) because a Republican worker ALLEGEDLY helped people fill out the APPLICATION for an absentee ballot, not the ballot itself.
Yeah, Gore wanted every vote counted like I have a nice bridge in Broolyn for sale.
Some more shenanigans from 2000: Democratic workers giving homeless men in Milwaukee cigarettes to go vote, even though they weren't registered. (Caught on camera.)
The U. of Wisconsin students who boasted of voting multiple times for Gore. (Gore won Wisconsin in 2000 by only about 2,000 votes.)
The lawsuit in St. Louis, filed in the name of a DEAD MAN, getting the polls to stay open an extra two hours IN THAT CITY ONLY. Said lawsuit was prepared days before the election but was post dated as if it were prepared only the afternoon of election day, alleging long lines. By the way, that little dirty trick gave you Dems John Ashcroft as Attorney General, since he lost his bid for Missouri governor by only a few thousand votes IN ST. LOUIS!
As for 2004, where's the outrage over voting machines delivered to precincts in Philadelphia that came preloaded with hundreds of votes for Kerry?
I'll take all the whining more seriously when I see an equal concern for voting shenanigans and attempts at outright theft--all documented--on the part of Dems.
