Reply #125: A close election did not put an idiot into the White House

A fraudulent Supreme Court decision did. If the Supremes had given Florida the same ability to hand count that Washington's laws did, George Bush would be just another discontented loser wishing for better days, and we'd not be losing five soldiers every two days in Iraq, and Osama bin Laden might be in jail right now--ruminate on that.

The Washington recount was probably more accurate than Florida's 2000 "recount" by a factor of about 100. The accuracy in Washington, while not perfect, was acceptably DECISIVE. Unless, of course, you like interminable court battles over every last vote.
