Host, (WELCOME TO TILTED, It truly is a great forum)

While the argument is great for Gore (and I do believe Gore was elected and I think Fla. had too many problems to make it a "sure" thing either way in '00).

It is 4 years later and a new election. People HAVE to move on. If you keep looking at that election, you will never move forward and eventually be passed by.

I am truly no fan of W. and I would love for him to lose the election (for the right reasons, ABB is not a good enough reason), but I also know just as Clinton's problems divided the nation and the GOP wanted that, we need to stop being divisive and allow a President 4 years of getting through his platform. NO MATTER WHO WINS!!!! The divisiveness is killing this country because nothing can get done.

I look at it like this. I am personally very scared of what will happen if Bush gets another 4 years, however, if it gets worse during his four years, I can almost guarantee in 2 the Dems will win the Congress and then in 4 Bush and the GOP will be gone. (Unless of course my paranoia is true and Bush suspends elections, but I try not to listen to that voice as it also said 01/01/00 was going to be doomsday.)

So let '00 go, campaign and get out your desire for Kerry or whoever this year and move forward. We have enough hatred and anger from people in this country, it is time we truly stop the hate and moved forward working together bipartisanly to help grow America. Turn off the Limbaughs, Becks, Hannitys, O'Reillys, Moores, Matthews, whoever and say "THIS IS MY COUNTRY AND I REFUSE THE HATE, BOTH PARTIES SHOULD WANT TO WORK TO BETTER AMERICA."

It maybe a fallacy and a fantasy, but I believe America is by and large Centrist and is tired of the fighting and finger pointing and just wants results. The problem is what is it going to take to get our leaders to see that? Cause they sure as hell don't seem to now.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
