"Because here’s the thing about life: There’s no accounting for what fate will deal you. Some days when you need a hand. There are other days when we’re called to lend a hand." -- President Joe Biden, 01/20/2021
I made a promise not to respond to that kind of bait. Suffice it to say that 2006 is not a done deal.

People: I don't see why anyone gives this dude the time of day, let alone argue with him. He should look for a website compatible with his "ideas", and when he has something to offer this group in the way of honest film discussion, that's OK.
He has nothing to offer us. Don't taunt him : it's cruel, like teasing a mad dog with a stick through a fence.
Wait till '08 , did he say? Hell, wait till November 2006; we won't hear any more from this man.

Fair enough, as long as you're willing to do the same if anyone else makes the same redundant arguments that I inevitably seem to respond to.

Criddic? If you respond, you'll just be taunted. You don't have to restate your opinion every frickin' time Damien does or anyone else. We all know how the system works. Nothing has changed since it was put into place. What Damien's argument has always been is that it's a flawed system and no longer necessary. It disproportiantely represents the country giving fewer votes to people in larger states and more votes to people in smaller states, thus not giving every American citizen equal say in the government it elects. By the rationale of the need for the original electoral college, it is a waste of bureaucracy and needs to be eliminated.
We know he was elected by our current system. All Damien is doing is ridiculing the idea. It's bait that you take every time and I'm really getting sick of it. If he makes a statement like that, ignore it. I don't want to see another post from you going into detail like that again. I will delete the next redundant thing you say.

Well, thank goodness. Why would anyone wear ANYTHING bought from cafepress?
I was looking for a way to show my support without carrying around a poster, I guess. I found the shirt on cafepress. It's really a nice shirt. A T-shirt with "Re-Elect W in 2004" and the President's smiling face is inside the W. I liked it and wore it a few times. I had seen people wearing other shirts that seemed plain with just writing on it for and against the President.
And Cafepress bilked the people who bought it because Bush COULDN'T be re-elected in 2004 since he wasn't elected in 2000.
Shall I remind you how our system of voting works? Even if a person loses the popular vote, he can still be elected to office. It has happened a few times in American political history. In fact, the 2000 case was one of the least political end decisions when you consider that the Supreme Court's ruling was about whether or not the extended recounts were legal in the state of Florida. They found that they were not, since Florida law privides a very thorough timeline for such procedures. Katharine Harris actually allowed for one extension, which was legal but the second extension was not as the Court found. And so, when the recount was stopped, Bush won by 537 votes in the state. None of the recounts gave Gore the advantage. Several news outlets did investigations and came up with different results if the recounts were allowed to go on. Four variations found that Bush would have won and four resulted in a tie, which would have required the House of Representatives to step in. Since the Republicans controlled the House, Bush would most certainly have won. Some outlets tried other scenarios where the recount was done differently, perhaps statewide, and i think only one or two scenarios would have led to a slight Gore win. This was a very slim possibility. So, yes, President Bush was elected in 2000.

Oh....MY...GOD. I could NOT have forseen the answer to that first paragraph. I swear everyone, I was just kidding. Wow. As for the 2nd, well as long as you're firm about it. You know what they say: A Hard Man is Good to Find.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I knew it was a joke. But I have no doubt that many people have political mementos around their homes, on their cars and elsewhere. It is not a porn-tool. I do not have it there so I can adoringly admire how well-dressed the President is. It is there as a reminder of the contribution I made as a voting American. Some people still ride around with Kerry/Edwards stickers on their cars. At least I'm not wearing the "Re-Elect Bush in 2004" shirt I bought from cafepress.

Still I voted for him in 2004. I voted early in the morning on that fine November day, proudly and confidently. There is no regret for that vote. I stand by it firmly.
