Eh...
No, “re-elected” means that he has been elected once, and now hes trying to
get re-elected. Actually, im not entirly sure if he WAS elected once, but
i guess that term will have to suffice....

I think that was the gist of Scott’s repetition of the Left’s tired “joke”.
Har, Har, Bush was selected, not elected. The fact is, however, that
Bush’s “selection” was a result of Gore contesting the election. Had not
he gone to court, Bush’s election would have stood. That the Supreme Court
“selected” Bush is entirely the result of the Democrats. And then they cry
that Bush was “selected”, not elected. Whatever.

Few Liberals identify the stolen election as a major current issue; we
grudgingly accept that we are, for now, stuck with the President we have, so
let’s move on. The lingering issue, however, is that numerous irregularities
have come to light regarding voter registration, voter denial, intimidation, and
electronic “glitches” in the Florida election. These can’t simply be ignored in
discussions of the propriety of the election count. Additionally, it is very
likely that Bush, Rove, (Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannity, Coulter) et al would still
be attacking the results of the 2000 election if it had gone in Gore’s favor.
With that in mind, and with the extremely close 2002 election, the Republican
party would serve itself well to remember that it didn’t carry a supermajority
of the public’s opinion, and it should therefore stop ignoring the close
minority and ignoring public sentiment, all while legislating from the extreme
right.
Didn’t Dubya endlessly call himself “a uniter, not a divider”? I’d like to see
him perform that role sometime before he’s booted out of office.
Dave!
