14. We never have had transparency in Florida YET!
Who doesn't remember hearing about the Miami mayor's race a couple of years BEFORE they stole the Presidential election:
Judge Orders New Miami Mayoral Election
Absentee-ballot fraud voids last November's balloting

MIAMI (AllPolitics, March 4) -- A judge has overturned last fall's election of Xavier Suarez as Miami's mayor because of evidence of absentee ballot fraud.

A new election has been ordered held within 60 days, but it's unclear who will run the city until then.

Circuit Judge Thomas Wilson's decision is the result of last month trial of a lawsuit brought by former Mayor Joe Carollo, who lost to Suarez in a Nov. 13, 1997 runoff election.

"The evidence presented in the case clearly demonstrated fraud and abuse of the absentee ballot laws," the judge wrote.

And that wasn't the first dirty Florida election, either.

I'd like to know why the party which has ridiculed the use of lawyers to settle disputes was also the party which streaked to the courts to stop the recount the very second they realized Al Gore was likely to win the vote recount, after winning the national popular election outright.

Yeah, Bush really insists on clean elections. Everyone knows that. :eyes:





He's such a godly man, isn't he?
