Election 2000

[Terwilliger]

The Democrats should have...

[Terwilliger]

1. trying to see what DUers think about what happened

about what the Dem leadership should have done...what you would have done

[Terwilliger]

2. need some more input

wow...no one so far agreeing with the decision that was made?

[Jack Rabbit]

3. To this day I regard the presidency as vacant

I refuse to modify the name George W. Bush with the title President. Morevoer, a resounding Bush victory in 2004 will not cause me to do so. Legitimacy is like virginity; once it is lost, it cannot be regained. Like the Whore of Babylon, the Bush administration was born corrupt.

Bush is not president. There is no war on terror. No American owes this imposter allegiance.

Every Bush legislative initiative should be filibustered. Every appointment should be denied. Every call to arms should go unanswered.

[Terwilliger]

4. I wish Democrats were like you

alas...

[The Magistrate]

13. Well Said, Mr. Rabbit...!!

I have myself sworn an oath in that regard, to never demean the office by speaking that reptile's name in connection with it.

[Terwilliger]

5. Just a representative sampling

it seems clear where DU falls on this issue, but I wanted to be sure

[Terwilliger]

6. got to go to work

could someone kick this once or twice through the day? Thanks.

[Terwilliger]

7. very few votes

although it seems like the conclusion is apparent

[HFishbine]

8. At the very damn least

A single democratic senator with a spine should have signed on to the Congressional Black Caucauses motion to reject the results.

[prolesunited]

9. Do you think if they do it again

that the American people will do what they did in Georgia?

[goforit]

10. This was a Oil Company Coup!!!!

Our weak elected officials were useless!!!

And now they have no power and never will.

And thousands of innocent will die due to their weakness!!!

And we will remember them as cowards from this day forward!!!!

[ulysses]

11. other:

ditched the goddamned DLC and mercilessly hammered every GOP talking point that came within range.

[Padraig18]

12. As far as I am concerned...

The Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, is the only person who can lawfully lay claim to the Presidency, at this point.

[terrya]

14. It didn't help that the goddamned media was urging Gore to "Give it up"

And in a lot of cases, not too subletly, either.

The media, for some inexplicable reason, hated Al Gore. And it didn't stop until Gore conceded.

[redqueen]

15. Not inexplicable.

Money is God to a lot of people.

They know which side their bread is buttered on.

Gore would have been less 'friendly' than Bush.
