2008 American election
- Thread starter Gonzo
- Start date
I don't know, it's possible. If I was a betting man, I would probably bet McCain will be the next President....but what do I know.
It was the Supreme Court who ended the recount in Florida (which was of course the key to victory) and voted against a recount. Since we don't know for certain who would have won if a recount had taken place (though I will concede it is likely Bush would have won anyways), essentially the 5-4 vote in the Supreme Court is what gave Bush the victory.

I think you should concentrate on Madeline Albright as your VP - that way you can concentrate on your work!!!

I'm rooting for McCain as well Colpy, he shows the most promise to totally phuckup the empire.:laughing7:
You wouldn't consider a contender that might right some of the US's wrongs would you? That would leave you with a pretty stale show...

Yes I would, but, since no such contender can get through the Corporate Security Complex selection criteria I am unlikely to have to make such a consideration, my show will remain vibrant, colourful and alive.:laughing7::wave::laughing7:
Nonsense, there was an automatic recount. Bush was leading Gore by just over 1000 votes out of 6 million votes cast. The automatic recount conculded Bush led again. Gore asked for a second manual recount. Bush refused. The Florida Supreme Court granted the second manual recount. Then Gore wanted yet ANOTHER recount. The Supreme court basically said, GET OVER IT, YOU LOST.
Spoil sport!!:laughing7:

1. American History always attributes good and bad to the President.
Ever hear of Congress getting the glory ? The Newt Gingrich congress was big on
fixing deficit spending. This is what disgusts Republican voters about the recent
Republican Congress who turned into the all-time Pork Spending Congress.
2. The surplus was created how ? By the President ? By the Congress ??
Give me a break. Most things in the American economy happen in spite of whatever government
does.

Republicans wasted no time in condemning Clinton for a tax increase which was used to end their deficit. Moreover, the GOP glories in attributing tax increases and welfare costs to the Dems. When something good happens the GOP takes credit. When something bad happens they blame Democrats.
Yet, the record is there. The USA economy flourished under Clinton and we had the biggest middle class increase in history. When the pukes take over, poverty increases.
Don;t believe it? Look it up.
