Reply #77: Gore. Did. Not. Lose.

[Zhade]

Almost four years later, and people are still buying the media spin.

I'll say it again: Gore did not lose. The election was stolen.

1) Tens of thousands of Democratic voters in Florida were illegally disenfranchised of their votes. How do we know they were Dems? The paperwork used in the name-scrubbing operation had their party status listed. (See Greg Palast for more on this - http://gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=55&row=2)

2) Illegal stoppage of recount in Miami-Dade, where Roger Stone's operatives harassed the elections staff to the point of shutting down the operation.

3) Blackboxed election sites, with Volusia county at one point giving Gore -16,000+ votes. (Negative votes!) This was caught, but what other electronic voting machine "errors" weren't caught?

4) A one-time-only, limited-time-offer USSC decision decided in favor of b*sh, using a twisted logic involving the Equal Protection clause - when, of course, tens of thousands of Florida voters were not protected by the same clause.

I could go on. My point is, Gore NEVER LOST until the election was yanked away from him through illegal means. 2000 was a coup d'etat, and it amazes me that there are still so many people who don't realize or remember this.
