In an
interview with Pee Diddle (or whatever his name really is), Obama made this rather nonsensical
statement:
“Well,
some people just got to remember what happened in Florida .
George Bush won the presidency, he thinks, based on just a tiny margin
of votes. If just a few thousand people more vote in Florida , you got an entirely different
direction of the country. We probably don’t go into a war in Iraq . We’re
probably spending more money on schools, more money on job training, more money
for programs for ex-offenders.”
Editor’s notes:
I wrote “nonsensical” because Bush won the election, Obama did not challenge that reality, and OF
COURSE, if the Dems could have bought off more voters, they would have won that election. The fact of the matter is, they lost.
Speculation in light of what Obama implicitly admits is a reality, is just plan silliness.
For those
who can actually think and chew gum at the same time, there really is not anything to be
added, except to ask, “Why in the world
is this “news?”
As a remind, keep in mind that there eight recounts, all of which were won by #43. Three of these recounts were conducted by the State's liberal media. The Florida Supreme Court had a Democrat majority, yet, it allowed for a Bush victory. And, Bush wanted to recount the entire state while Gore only wanted the three largest Democrat counties, counted. They were, yet Bush won. We should not forget that Gore tried to stall the military vote, as well.
The difference in the FL election was the Palm Beach Co, 'butteryfly ballot'. 5,330 ballots were spoiled with votes cast for both Gore and Buchanan AND Buchanan got triple the number of votes pre election polling indicated. He was seen as an anti-Semite in a highly Jewish county. Gore was listed second in the left-hand column; but punching a hole in the second circle actually cast a vote for Buchanan. Even Buchanan himself said, "When I took one look at that ballot on Election Night ... it's very easy for me to see how someone could have voted for me in the belief they voted for Al Gore." THAT is one helluva way to wind up with a guy like Bush as president ... he is forever known as "Bush - the accidental president". On whose watch, we were attacked on 9/11 and bankrupted into 2 wars.
ReplyDeleteThese facts remained: Gore wanted to cherry pick the recount, limite the military vote, and has never stopped whining about his loss. There were 8 recounts, several by Democrat concerns; Bush won all eight. The State Supreme Court was a Democrat majority court and gave the election to Bush. And Bush was willing to recount the entire state but Gore only wanted to recount the three largest Democrat counties in the state. Gore lost fair and square - no debate about it.
DeleteWe're not talking about recounts, we're talking about how Bush was elected.
DeleteYou do know, this is one of your silliest statements, right?
DeleteRacism? Let me tell you about racism...
ReplyDeleteGavin McInnes is given a pulpit by Fox News to denigrate and insult Astro Physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson because he teaches science (instead of conservative science-denying creationism). McInnes said about Tyson,
“I hate this guy. White liberal nerds love this guy so much, he could defecate on them like Martin Bashir’s fantasies and they would dance in the streets."
Fox News knows the type of cretins McInnes represents because he has been a frequent guest and a former writer for Vdare, an organization the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies as a “white nationalist hate group.” As recently as 2011, McInnes said “I love me some VDARE” and wrote an article for the hate group that claiming a Canadian university was a “multi-cultural madrassa” because it rejected requests to host another white supremacist, Jared Taylor, whose bona fides includes advocating for racial segregation and promotes founding all white towns. Exactly the type of hate-mongers Fox knows will incite their racist audience.
THAT is institutionalized racism by the old white kkkristian network/party.
Gavin McInnes??? Seriously ?? Good grief, man. This guy is a comedian. He made those comments on Red Eye and no one else on the program agreed with him. Do you even know what Red Eye is and its irreverent thrust?
DeleteAs far as the "old white KKKristian . . ." You want to forget that the white KKK was a Democrat invention, along with segregation in the streets and schools of this nation, Jim Crow laws, the deaths of 4000 blacks during the slave trade years, and their immoral conduct during the Civil War - Southern Democrats are responsible for that war. Your presidents (Woodrow Wilson and FDR) segregated the military in both World Wars, has spent 13 trillion on a war on poverty that has left the Black population in as bad a financial shape as ever - using blacks and promises to them, of better times, but quickly forgetting those promises after the elections are over. What a joke you people are, as morbidly hypocritical as folks can get, full of lies and a record of death, racism, and broken promises that go beyond comprehension.
One more point: McInnes is English - he is a flaming liberal and is more a Democrat that anything.
DeleteThere goes Smithson again... living in the past.
