Gore warns of grab by Bush
2004-10-19
I am insane, I am insane, I AM INSANE!!!!
Former Vice President Al Gore, who lost the bitterly contested 2000 election, is warning of a repeat of the recount nightmare in Florida. ``The widespread efforts by Bush's political allies to suppress voting have reached epidemic proportions,'' he charged yesterday. ``Some of the scandals of Florida four years ago are now being repeated in broad daylight even as we meet here today.''
One heartbeat away for 8 years. If that don't scare you, nothing will.
He said the Bush team used an Enron jet to ferry ``their rent-a-mob to Florida in 2000 to permanently halt the counting of legally cast ballots.''
Was Halliburton's jet booked up?
In a stinging indictment of his former rival, Gore accused Bush of forbidding dissent, disdaining facts and ignoring his mistakes in a ``recklessness that risks the safety and security of the American people.It is love of power for its own sake that is the original sin of this presidency,'' Gore said in a speech at Georgetown University sponsored by the liberal group MoveOn.org.
I see THE EVIL KARL ROVE BEHIND EVERY TREE!!!
But Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said, ``Al Gore seems intent on shattering whatever minuscule credibility he has left with baseless, mean-spirited personal attacks and conspiracy theories.''
"Miniscule" credibility? Is there anything smaller then that?
He passed nano credibility a long time ago. He's now working at the subatomic level.

#16  I wonder if the makers of Thorazine are looking for a spokesman.

#15  "There are smaller units, but none of them would make sense to the general public. :)"

nano = 10^-9
pico = 10^-12
femto = 10^-15
atto = 10^-18
zepto = 10^-21

#14  Kalle :
0.1 = 10-1 deci d
0.01 = 10-2 centi c
0.001 = 10-3 milli m
0.000 001 = 10-6 micro µ
0.000 000 001 = 10-9 nano n
0.000 000 000 001 = 10-12 pico p

Gore is then sort of like "Little Cat Z" in "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back"

Little Cat Z who is too small to see, so don't try, you cannot...

#12  Gore's got nono-credibility. Nono is what comes after nano.

#8  .com it's like I have been saying Sorros will spend as much as it takes to steal the election. I just hope Rove and company are meaner and more cut throat in that case.

The dems are going to have lawyers that chalenge every vote for Bush and harass every registered Republican when they show up to vote. I am voting absentee so my vote can't be monkeyed with electronicly as my county bought those diebold machines with no paper back up. I in fact signed up to be a permanate absentee.

This whole deal is going to get ugly. I just hope we can hang together as a Republic whatever happens. I am keeping my powder dry and am ready to dissappear for 4 years if I have to.

#7  "Scream the charge you're guilty of at your opponents first."

In my mind, the most egregious and disgusting example of this has been the Democrats' incessant complaining that Bush is "divisive".

He isn't, but they sure as Hell are.

Well, there's another one coming. It's all a bit like The Matrix.

#3  This is more of the pre-emptive strike logic. They are actively engaged in trying to steal the election via massive registration fraud, squealing about intimidation (think: Nader), attempts to cause a system breakdown with piles of crap registrations at the last second, harrassment and real attacks on Pub offices, etc.

Scream the charge you're guilty of at your opponents first. It keeps the water nice 'n muddy so you can go one about your nefarious business. Dhimmidick Strategy 101.

It can only go lower / get worse in these last 2 weeks - the polls aren't cooperating with the Master Cylinder's Plan.

#2  The mind is a terrible time to waste!

He is paranoid and that is the extent of what I learned in Psych 101. But it fits perfectly.

#1  Al Gore has gone insane. So has his party. Which is a good part of the reason it's no longer my party.
