Reply #8: I was far too busy with an active social life to care who said what.

Besides my busy social life, I only remember my vague interest in having Al Gore be the next president, and, my assumption that Al Gore would naturally prevail, and of course win, over the f'd up chickenhawk-son of-the-horrible ex-prez. I was so naive and trusting!! Back in 2000, weren't most of us naiive? I remember HW Bush's lousy presidency, and that he had low popularity ratings among average Americans, so how could his dumbass son possibly be a contender?
In 2000, it had not occurred to me that a Presidential race could be stolen.

But, as soon as that f***** somehow got put into office, I understood that the country was in trouble. I had no idea how much trouble the Bush Administration would cause (to put it mildly).
