CornerStone Election farce of year 2000 run to courts, grab that beeper! Never mind pre-existing law, you see excuse me! the bull residue is getting deeper! Law of the land is plain upholders try and make it so. Lawyers ooze from the woodwork each side striking compatible blows. Founding principles gone awry illustration of which, made sharp and clear. Court-full of lawyers deciding our President? our framework, not working...I fear. We the people- another sad joke? as attorneys wearing political masks decide. What have we given away in our democracy is it indeed rotten, has it died? cho: Is it dimpled, hanging or chad supreme? Wash our hands, let the courts decide! Never mind, “we the people”.... perhaps; “Sue them”, Paul Revere should have cried? Maybe ole George should have lied, or Jefferson freed his slaves. Do you think it was all for naught? Are our solders... ashamed in their graves? Should we all be ashamed of this mockery this joke, we all have borne? Shall we have any honest honor left adrift without our CornerStone? Seems to this innocent observer Florida law precise in it’s black and white. Yet, the legals may change to suit...interpret keep after it till, the winner gets it right. Well. perhaps we shall see an end once upon our republic tainted. Could be this so-called supreme version can not decide from corner into it has painted. Or the satirists could be accurate just simply leave the matter undecided. Draw a line down the middle of the White House carry on with government divided! Election farce of year 2000 run to courts, grab that beeper! Never mind pre-existing law, you see excuse me! the bull residue is getting deeper! cho: Is it dimpled, hanging or chad supreme? Wash our hands, let the courts decide! Never mind, “we the people”.... perhaps; “Sue them”, Paul Revere should have cried? Maybe ole George should have lied, or Jefferson freed his slaves. Do you think it was all for naught? Are our solders... ashamed in their graves? Should we all be ashamed of this mockery this joke, we all have borne?

yes, we are all tired of the bickering..one point though..no state may pass a law in violation of the constitution as interpreted by the supreme court..that's why they are involved..as soon as they rule, we should move to a solution quickly..may the fastest talking, slickest liar win..lol the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Bravo! I'm sorry, but I don't think that this election is quite what our founding fathers had in mind for the future. It just plain disgusts me. Well done!!!  |

lol-seems as usual my timing is off a tad... what i was really trying to illustrate, i guess...was the law was on the books to cover the situation and the "good ole legal club" chose to ignore it and run to the courts to get their own ways...to have an elected offical determined by the legal system seems to me to be against everything we were ever taught that America stood for. bleeding...
