Two Republican LOSERS Refuse to Concede - Why Is This Not MAjor Headlines?

[NashVegas]

Hmmm?

[NOLADEM]

1. Who cares? Typical of a Republican to not know when to quit

The public hates sore losers.

5. Al Gore Didn't Quit in 2000

Is he a sore loser? Did you complain when the 2000 count carried on for over thirty days and he failed to concede even as Democrats were telling him to do it too? If I were in a tight race like the one in Virginia, I would not concede regardless of my Party if I had a feeling all was not right. I actually wish Allen would call for a recount in order to show me he didn't try to steal votes. I need to be reasssured that close elections like that one in an electronic voting system world are legititmate. Those who may not share that opinion because election fraud isn't an issue as long as their side wins may think differently... We sure did see that in spades for the last three elections. I would hope it would never be discovered that a Democrat fell victim to the temptation of what these machines can do, but I don't think we will ever know for sure if any election on these machines is truly free of fraud on any side unless we investigate and eventually get them all out of the process completely...but then, in order to do that fairly, people have to start thinking like Americans first instead of putting partisan politics first.

8. Gore "failed to concede" because the ONLY reason the call for Florida

was REVERSED is that it was done by Bush's cousin over at FOX. So the MSM hopped aboard and all of a sudden Gore, for whom Florida had originally been called, was now the "challenger".

Florida law allows for recounts. Gore was exercising his right and his duty. Thirty days, so? Bill Clinton was going to stay President until January 23, 2001.

BTW, it was Bush's lawyer James A. Baker who first went to court.

10. I know that

You aren't telling me anything I don't know very well already. I followed and lived every day of it and know what the bastards did to Mr. Gore and was defending his fighting it, just like I defend anyone's right regardless of party to contest an election result if they are behind by a razor thin margin and want a recount. The point I was making about concession in general, is that there seems to be a double standard regarding it on all sides.

12. Gore had ammo that he had been robbed...these fools don't

They are sore losers.

Gore was a victim of theft.

BIG difference.

[blm]

9. The big difference is that Gore HAD THE MATH WITH HIM. When the math is AGAINST you

there is little choice but to concede

[rpannier]

2. Because everyone knows they lost

So why make it a headline?

Let sean insannity do it.

[NashVegas]

3. Why Make It a Headline?

Because this is the year all about exposing Republican hypocrisy.

In case you've forgotten, six years ago Karl Rove was sending his shock troops to mill outside the Vice President's mansion - where Al Gore lived - and make a stink, make headlines, for days.

That's why.

4. Because the GOP Corporate Media

was helping them attempt to steal the Senate, just like the GOP Corporate Media aided thefts of Florida in 2000 and Florida and Ohio in 2004.

They DON'T want the public focused on Democratic leads in Montana and Virginia; they deliberately don't want withholding concession as an issue before the public. These thugs were not conceding because the GOP was studying a way to steal those victories.

I am betting that in Virginia they concluded after a day of deliberation that 7000 votes could not be easily overcome(stolen) in secrecy behind the curtain.

6. I understand why Felix is waiting...

The margin is still within the range where the state would pay for a recount...

Plus canvassing is not done...

I suspect he will concede this evening when it is apparent that the vote total won't change much...


As for Burns...he is just being ornery!

[madinmaryland]

7. A statement on CNN about Felix says he may not challenge...

A source close to Webb's Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. George Allen, said the senator "has no intention of dragging this out."

Though I will have to see it to believe it.

11. Hmmm...we still have a few races we aren't conceding, either

Hang tough, Kilroy (OH-15)!!!
