I’d also like to add that any idiot can see that Gore won Florida regardless of what the official election results said. Ironically, this election will make a greater mark on history books in half a century than any silly thing Bill Clinton did. But, life goes on. Hopefully America won’t be too fucked up in four years to fix. Not that it isn’t already…

Speaking of elections… i don’t really care anymore. I think i totally lost any firm belief in the American political system when the Supreme Court split exactly along party lines in their decision. While the court often breaks in such a fashion, the issue at hand was totally constitutional and legal, and not at all political. I almost think it’s a foregone conclusion that the court would have voted exactly the opposite way if Gore and Bush had their roles in this drama equally reversed. And so, now, the President of the United States is George W. Bush. And, i have one less reason to cover my heart when i salute our flag.

Wow, Kevin over at Fury is keeping a very intelligent running commentary on this abysmal election BS we’re going through. So, if my adolescent ramblings aren’t cutting it, you could head there.

By far, this is my favourite ballot tampering story so far. Honestly, i think we’re all already sick of the whole election BS, because it’s turned into some more of the same exhausting partisan politics. Personally, i just think the situation in Florida seems hugely unlawful and i want to see it resolved, especially because it obviously has a very direct bearing on who becomes our next president. But, really, this is just the direction our country seems to be sliding towards. Was the vote so close because the candidates are nearly the same, or because they truly polarized the nation? I think it’s a bit of both… with Bush and Gore being similar enough that the unconcerned just vote partisan, while the more savvy use their own personal set of litmus tests to figure out which candidate they should vote for.
