Who is the President of the United States

[hfojvt]

When I was in the Hospital, the nurses asked some simple questions, like the one above, to determine if my mind was connected to reality. My answer to the above was Al Gore, and the nurse laughed agreeably. Since Al was legimately elected in 2000, he should have been legitimately re-elected in 2004.
According to the quiz on Worldviewweekend (a fundy site) that question is still a shibboleth, dividing "true-believers" and "heretics"

1. Al Gore is my president. nt

[dhinojosa]

2. I said George W. Bush, I didn't want anyone to have any illusions that....

this mess in any way could be someone elses.

3. Hey, I Was For Gore Too... But I Was Always Waiting For Kerry

to run. I can remember the Viet Nam War, I was in the middle of it and the protesting back then. What people have forgotten is that MORE people WERE against the war and it got stopped. Why do you think so many veterans were mad when they came home. If you heard what was said back then, they were extremely vocal about how they got treated.

I never thought it was the soldiers fault, but they did have many who weren't very nice to them. I was raised in the Army and I knew what the rules were, they say JUMP, you say HOW HIGH??

The distortion of Kerry's record is an unforgivable blot in the history of this nation.

4. Charlton Heston is my President.

Well, not really.

5. Bill Clinton

The office is his until a lawful successor is installed.

7. true, howver, due to the FDR amendment

he cannot legally serve a third term, so the office goes to his Vice President :D

[CubsFan1982]

9. Not a 3d term.

Just an extension of his 2d term. :D

6. After Gore everything is irrelevant

So, Al Gore.

[FreedomAngel82]

8. Even though

I loved John Kerry and he was the first person I ever voted for I think Gore would probably be president today again if we had a fair election cycle here. We all know the truth of what happened in 2000. I wasn't old enough then to vote but I would have Gore since I really liked him and thought he was one of the brilliant minds. Things would be so different now.

10. Gore due to the stolen election of 2000 but voted for Kerry in 2004

11. With all due respect

Claiming that "Since Al was legimately elected in 2000, he should have been legitimately re-elected in 2004" is effectively as bad as the repukes.

Nobody 'deserves' election or re-election; he should have gone into the election fighting on his record and seeking the permission of the people to continue for another 4 years. From 2001-2005 one could claim Al Gore, but beyond that his claim has to lapse.

I hate to say it, but either the last election was run on fraud (and therefore should be invalidated) or that little man with a smirk and a Texan accent is President. It is painful, and I too would dearly love to get rid of the little man's poodle; but a Presidential term is 4 years, which have passed since the election in which Gore received the plurality of votes.

12. "that little man with a smirk and a Texan accent"

I like that

Too bad he has so much power

definitely NOT indexed to his intelligence -

(sigh)

[tjwmason]

13. But intelligence is not all

After all Poodleboy is undoubtably incredibly intelligent...both of them have far too much power.

[ConcernedCanuk]

15. I'm not going to argue "Poodleboy"'s intelligence

One being "smart" doesn't eliminate the possibility of stupid decisions

and Joining Junior in his blood/oil quest was STUPID

I wish Tony a slow death

sorry

I left out "painful"

a stab or two of pain for every Iraqi that died because he knuckled under to the United States genocidal invasion of Iraq

[Skittles]

14. honestly, we really don't have one

we haven't had one since Clinton

[baldguy]

16. Chance the Gardener

[GOPBasher]

17. I said Bush for the same reason as another poster.

I want to make it clear that HE is the one responsible for the mess we're in.
