Wake up and smell the coffee mr. child-like mentality. If Gore carried his own state, Gore wins. If FL voters punch Gore instead of Buchanan, Gore wins. If FL voters punch chads off, Gore wins. Bush's win was Heaven sent.....you atheist you (Archie Bunker said to the Meathead). Don't be a meathead by presuming you can possibly figure out the whole "TRUTH" about the universe. This would be horribly arrogant. We are in the child-like stage of our development. Have faith in the larger powers that be.

To which I replied:

Speaking of arrogant child-like presumptions... Faith in the larger powers that be? There was a time when faith meant holding up your end of a contract, as in "faithful to the deal" or "faithful to marriage." There is nothing responsible about blind belief, in the sense you use the word "faith."
Bush has an established criminal record, and is turning our country from the leadership of the free world into the laughingstock of real democracies.
Know you not of Dubbya's Drunk driving arrest in Heimlich county TX? his cocaine possession arrest in Connecticut? his AWOL from being a Lt. in the Air Force reserves?
While the institution of the US Presidency has dirty laundry for everyone's "regime," I'm more worried about his active destruction of the Judicial checks and balances, and him filling his coffers at the expense of all future American taxpayers. What he calls medicare, AIDS research and Energy programs, has so far been nothing but a ploy to boost Pharmecutical and Big Oil investments, billed to future federal deficits our tax dollars pay for. Have you ever looked up the historic definition of "scallywag?"
