What would you expect the climate to be in a campaign immediately following
an election where the "winner" of the presidency was appointed by a supreme
court weighted by appoints of a prevoius president, who happened to be the
"winning" candidate's father, in a court decision called the "Gore exception",
because it was a decision not based on constitutional law, and the court did
not want this decision to set a precedent, and the court majority said that to allow a Florida vote re-count would do irreparable harm to one candidate,
the "winner" it's ruling appointed, and that the Florida Supreme court had not
erred, but was being overruled by the U.S. supremes, anyway. Oh.....and
Florida voting amounted at that time to only a 537 vote plurality, with the
controversy that that state's election was overseen by a Florida secretary of
state who was also that state's campaign manager of the campaign of the
"winning" candidate, whose brother happened to be governor of Florida, and
who, with his secretary of state, developed and implemented a signifigantly
flawed "felon voter purge list", one of only six states to use such a list, to
prevent 65,000 registered voters from voting. Did I mention that the "winner"
also lost the national popular vote by 500,000, and at his inaugaration, paid
lip service to the fact that he was not elected with a popular mandate, and
promised to remedy that by being a uniter, and then immediately proceeded
to launch one of the most secretive, partisan, pro rich and large corporation,
presidential regimes in the history of the country ?
No.....no way to understand how the current bitterness in this election cycle
could be so severe.....wait....maybe it has something to do with starting a
war under completely false pretenses, making up false elerts to keep the country in a constant state of fear for three years, and then spinning the lies
and deception as an accurate and correct course while constantly changing
the justifications as each previous one is discredited with time and fact finding? The partisanship we are seeing does seem to be a bit too much....
thanks for pointing that out !
