Bolton - "I'm with the Bush-Cheney team, and I'm here to stop the count."

[otohara]

"I'm with the Bush-Cheney team, and I'm here to stop the count."

Those were the words John Bolton yelled as he burst into a Tallahassee library on Saturday, Dec. 9, 2000, where local election workers were recounting ballots cast in Florida's disputed presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

Bolton was one of the pack of lawyers for the Republican presidential ticket who repeatedly sought to shut down recounts of the ballots from Florida counties before those counts revealed that Gore had actually won the state's electoral votes and the presidency.

The Dec. 9 intervention was Bolton's last and most significant blow against the democratic process.

1. He also could have gone with:

"I'm with the Bush-Cheney team, and I'm here to stop the progress of this Democracy."

2. This is like a horror novel. Little did we know who Bolton is

before he started launching tirades against countries he wants Americans to destroy from his safe berth in the State Department.

John does Miami-Dade: What a national disgrace.

3. I knew exactly who he was, along with all the rest of the criminals that

flocked to Florida in support of making sure the count went the "right" way. It was "deja vu", I was reliving Iran-Contra and I knew good things were not coming. It has been one long protracted nightmare every since!!!!!!!!1

4. Not sure what that's probative of

except that he's a stooge of the chimp, and has been for a while. Think we already knew he was on their team.

5. I wasn't aware of the Florida connection

Saw a similar post a couple of days ago on the subject. Another instance of MSM dropping the ball, not to mention our Dem "representatives".
