Ok,
I didn't vote for Bush. However I did vote. I had an absentee ballot because
I was deployed to the Sinai, Egypt at the time. Did you know that all the overseas
ballots were thrown out? I can assure you that Bush would have won by a more obvious
margin had all the military ballots from deployed soldier, sailors, airman and marines
been counted.
Also, I watched what was going on, but our news was pretty filtered both by
the military and the locals. What was lied about during this process? As I remember
it Gore's camp were the ones contesting on the grounds that people were unable to
understand the ballots. I am sorry but the notion of someone not understanding a
voting machine, or a write in ballot is beyond me.
Please, I don't mean this as direct criticism, feel free to (factually, no
opinions needed) tell me about the election some more.
I am neither a republican nor a democrat, so I am pretty impartial on this
issue. Just want to be better informed :)
Tim

The people that supported Bush would want her there I'm sure.

Hopefully this doesn't sound like more political spam, but if anybody
remembers who Katherine Harris is, she was the secretary of state for
Florida who decided within a day or so that a recount wasn't really
necessary in the election fiascos that took place there. SNL did a
couple skits making fun of the obviousness of her political bias, and
how she wanted a guaranteed ambassador position for her favors to the
bush family.
Well, it looks as if her favor is being returned in the form of a
congressional seat. The Bush's have been helping raise campaign
financing, and the payback scheme is becoming more apparent as election
day nears. If you sat there during post-election watching Katherine
Harris spew blatant lies on national television, thinking "what a
dumb-ass", as I was, then you may consider donating a little cash to her
opponent Jan Schneider. The link

I plan on putting my money where my mouth is, hopefully this is useful
information to somebody else. I didn't even know she was running. I
certainly wouldn't want that woman in congress making decisions for our
country; I can't imagine how anyone else would either.
Adam.
