The 2000 election turned on 3,500 votes that were double punched in error and NEVER COUNTED. Had those 3,500 voters requested a new balot when they discovered they had punched the wrong person, Bush would NOT have won Florida.

None of those people thought the risk was worth sending American Military to attack Iraq. That includes George H. W. Bush!

The CIA just recently said there was no al qaeda operating in Iraq until AFTER we removed Saddam from power. Today they are more of a danger, according to the CIA, operating in Iraq than in Afghanistan prior to the Iraq war. We have made the danger greater with MORE terrorists willing to attack us all over the world. Just look at the continued terrorist actions in Iraq and in other countries.

The votes were counted col. Why does this simple fact escape you? And as usual, it's your assumption they would have voted for Gore, not fact. Just imagine if all those dead people didn't vote for Gore, he would have lost his so-called margin.

I have showed quotes and interviews from democrats who said Iraq was a threat, and they were producing WMD's. You avoided the question. Were the democrats lying?

The CIA just recently said there was no al qaeda operating in Iraq until AFTER we removed Saddam from power.

You avoided the question again col. What was one of al qaeda's top men doing in Iraq after being wounded in the Afghanistan war? Vacation maybe?

The 3,500 votes in Palm Beach County were VOIDED because they were double punched. They were NOT COUNTED. As I have said, if those 3,500 voters who made an error by punching the balot for the third party candidate ( Top Position) and asked for a new balot to correct their vote properly by punching the NEW balot for Gore ( second position), Bush would have lost Florida by just under 3,000 votes.

The Democrats believed the lies about WMD and the danger to the US from Saddam. Had the data that intelligence agents had and were afraid to bring forward, the Senate would never have voted for the war. Knowing what we know today, do any of you Bushies believe the Senate would approved the war resolution today?

The al qaeda leaders travel all over that area. They were NOT operating in Iraq prior to the war and the CIA has said that.. Iraq became part of the war on terrorism AFTER we brought down the Saddam government. Even Powell has said he was mislead about what he told the UN in Feb 2003.

Are you saying, Gene, that those were the only voided ballots in the US? Otherwise, we would have to go back and decide somehow what the voter intended on all voided ballots everywhere in the US. And there's the rub - if you screw up your vote, that's it. We can't have committees of people like you guessing what people really meant when they screwed up their ballot. If the reason for that isn't obvious to you, explaining would be a waste of time.

The Ugly truth? Col Klink let Hogan escape again!

What I am saying is that the number of balots in that one small district that were voided was out of line and was directly traced to a confusing balot design that was only used in that area. What I said, is if it had not been for that confusing balot and the voters of Palm Beach had their votes counted for the person thay intended to be president, Bush would have lost Florida . In addition, Bush got 500,000 fewer votes then Gore in 2000 overall. Thus, we did NOT GET THE PERSON the majority voted for in 2000 - in Florida or in the total votes cast Bush is an mistake no matter how you look at it and we are paying dearly for that error and will be for many years to come.

Wrong col. Those the recount was done, and included all hanging chads, miscounts, and everything Gore wanted. Bush still won. However, Daiwa has a point. How many votes around the country were "voided". You lost col, get over it.

Col, I can quote democrats saying Saddam was a threat and had WMD's before Bush was in office. Were they lying then?

Where did Lebeau get all those apples, anyway? They were in a POW camp!

It was not confusing ballot design, it was the stupid people filling them out. Kindergartners filled out the ballots correctly col, that should tell you something. What about the who left the voting lines early because the media called Florida early. How many thousands of votes would you like to speculate was lost for Bush. It's really sad you can't let go and get over this. Bush won col, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Thus, we did NOT GET THE PERSON the majority voted for in 2000 - in Florida or in the total votes cast Bush is an mistake no matter how you look at it and we are paying dearly for that error and will be for many years to come.

Col, you just don't get it do you. You are so out of touch it's not even funny anymore. There was no error col. Bush was elected twice. The people had a chance to correct your so-called mistake, and they voted for Bush again. That should tell you that you are in the minority in this country. You only represent the left wing that nobody cares about.

And did you ever notice that it was always winter at Stalag 13? Hmmm...doo, doo..doo...hmmm...

MAJOR point there col. showing you wrong once again. If what you say is/was true about the 2000 election then why was he voted back in for a second term by a majority in 2004?
