10. "In 2000 when George W. Bush ran for President, he won based on"

Please, could we, at least on DU, STOP saying that GWB "won". He did not.
He was selected as President by the Supreme Court after they ordered the recount
of votes to be stopped in Florida. Had the recount continued, it would have shown
Al Gore to have won the State of Florida, and thus the Electoral votes necessary
to be sworn in as President.

Please stop reinforcing the myth that George Bush "won".
