Posted By caveman on 02/26/2008 4:49 PM Posted By Reagan on 02/26/2008 3:53 PM Isn't Nader one of the factors that stole the 2000 election from Gore and gave it to Bush? Since when did Nader steal the election. Bush and his brother stole it on their own in Florida. Lets try to put this urban myth to bed one more time. I know it make Dems happy to whine about the stolen 2000 election,but to do so you must ignore the facts. 1 - Bush won the election in Florida according to the rules. 2 - Gore went to the Dem controlled state court to change the rules after the game was over. Which the Dem court did. 3 - Bush went to the federal court saying that you can't change the rules after the game is over. The federal court agreed. 4 - After the election, the New York Times, The Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, CNN, The Palm Beach Post, the St. Petersburg times, The Tribune Co. and the Washington Post , paid for an extensive study by the University of Chicago,of the Florida results, examining every ballot. This study (the NORC study) concluded that no matter what rules were followed, Bush won the election. Those news agencies, a number of which were very anti-Bush (New York Times is the best example) , accepted the results as definitive. So, get over it. Gore lost . Facts are pesky things,they just will not go away.To continue to whine about it eight years later just proves that denial is not just a river in Egypt. |
