Gregory Pratt Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Anyone seen it yet? It is a very entertaining movie about the recount. My favorite book on the subject is called Divided We Stand: How Al Gore Won the Election and Lost the Presidency. To this day, I don't think there's anything I've ever been more ashamed of watching than the Republican mob that stormed the voting center in Miami-Dade.

mr_genius Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 It was so horrible that the election was stolen in 2000. Now we have Hillary getting the 2008 primary stolen form her. For shame United States, for shame. And the right wing corporate media is in on the whole thing; just look at this horrible article. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/12/politics...8eb&ei=5070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 My favorite part of the movie was when the dems thought they had the right to guess which candidate was intended to be voted for on ballots that were punched incorrectly. *for the record, I think that whole process was ridiculous and that process cemented my opinion that I think the government in this country has too much power. I just thought that part of the movie was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Also, I would be very interested in a reality show for Katherine Harris, I think that might be sheer entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only concludes that the decision the Justices made was not the deciding factor, but that the methods used by the Democratic lawyers cost Gore a chance of winning.

DrunkBomber Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Now I dont really associate myself with either party. However, if I were to pick it would be the GOP. Just the thought of someone losing an election even though they won the popular vote is pretty frustrating. Whats the point of democracy if the peoples votes are second tier.

maggliopipe Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Interestingly, this was originally to be directed by Sydney Pollack who had to back out at the last minute due to being diagnosed with cancer. He just died yesterday. I liked that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
