[CTRL] How it REALLY works: Best example EVER ! Why Gore defended Bush in the Senate.
-Caveat Lector- Well DUH??? Why would anybody expect something different? THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. They are BOTH part of our system of Plutocratic rule. The election was merely a contest for which gang of Plutocrats gets their man into the White House. IT IS NOT GORE'S JOB TO THREATEN THIS SYSTEM!

Bush was officially declared winner of the 2000 US presidential election Saturday after Electoral College votes were counted and certified by Congress in a contentious session featuring a walkout by black lawmakers. Democratic Vice President Al Gore, who won a majority of the popular vote in the bitterly contested November 7 election, announced the result in his capacity as US Senate president, giving Bush 271 electoral votes to his 266, with one abstention. Bush's running mate Dick Cheney was declared vice president-elect by the same number of votes over Democrat Joe Lieberman. "I am honored," Bush said in Texas as the lawmakers gathered. "It's a humbling experience to become the president of this great land. And I want to reiterate what I said before: I'm going to be the president of everybody, whether they supported me or not. And people need to know that; people need to know that this is going to be an administration that will make decisions on what's best for America." The 538 electoral votes were cast December 18 in the 50 state capitals and the District of Columbia, the federal capital. Each state's vote was read and counted in alphabetical order in the joint session of Congress. A dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus walked out of the mostly-empty House chamber as the votes were tallied after * Gore rejected their contest to the 25 electoral votes from the southeastern state of Florida. * [highlighted by me - J2] Presidential ballots in that state from the November 7 election were at the center of more than a month of bitter disputes over hand recounting of those which could not be read by voting machines. Gore was forced to concede defeat when the US Supreme Court barred recounting of the disputed ballots. Ironically, it was Gore who overruled challenges to the contested vote in Florida raised by members of the House of Representatives, because the objections had not been signed by a member of the Senate. "We have had our votes nullified, that's why we are so sad," Representative Carrie Meek, a Florida Democrat, said later at a news conference. "All that's left for us now as the Congressional Black Caucus and as citizens of this country is to exercise our First Amendment right while we still have it and before it is further undermined by a politically dominated Supreme Court. We exercised our right today to protest against this ill-chosen nomination," Meek said. Earlier, Peter Deutsch, another Democratic representative from Florida, was ruled out of order when he called for a quorum -- a procedural move to delay the proceeding. In all, 13 Democratic representatives -- most of them members of the black caucus -- objected to Florida's votes. However, none was able to gain support among the 100 senators for an objection to delay the count. Federal law requires the support of at least one member of each house of Congress before an objection to a state's electoral votes can be considered. "It's a sad day in America when we can't find a senator to sign these objections," Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois said, as Gore repeatedly pounded his gavel to silence him. Gore kept a tight rein

-Caveat Lector- This has got to be one of the most cogent posts in quite some time which accurately paints the picture of what is really happening in the political system. They all are backslappers of each other by necessity. If convictions were involved then Gore would have contest the entire state in the beginning (he didn't which showed that he was not really serious and not basing his actions on "convictions" of his own) instead of just a place here and there. If convictions were involved he would have continued to fight even though the Supreme Court ruled against him. They, as the rulers behind the scenes all must support the system in which they rely on for their position and power. Gore would never go outside the lines in that or he would threaten his own ascendancy as well as countless other elite leaders, movers and shakers in the country. Do you think it would be allowed to happen? Yeah right. This just goes to show, ONCE and hopefully FOR ALL, that the whole contested election business, and the fiasco in Florida was just a sham for a purpose, otherwise it would never have happened in the first place, the system runs too well to be disrupted except by design.
