QUOTE

A tribunal to try UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George Bush for war crimes will be convened on Wednesday.

Wow, a war crimes tribunal by a man who himself is considered to be corrupt and have been guilty with regards to human rights violation's.

Funny, but the Florida court that ruled in favour of the recounting seemed to win wide approval from the losers. That court had the wisdom of Solomon, but the Supremes were nasty violators.

It's this hypocrisy that the left wing reactionaries just can't see, and why they resort to name calling and sky is falling crap. But at least the lefties are predictable.

Guthrie, this is the post where, when you said SCOTUS had no business interfering in the US election, I mentioned that SCOTUS only became involved after the Florida Court foisted themselves on the issue. Most lefties had no problem when the Florida court ruled in favour of the recounts, they only got riled up when SCOTUS ruled against the repeated recounts. Which is a hypocritical position to take.

As to Gore and the net, thank goodness he made that claim, otherwise he might have won the white house.

"... Florida Court foisted themselves on the issue ..."

I'm afraid you have your facts mixed up ---

the Florida Supreme Court got involved when the Republicans brought the matter to them --- moreover -- the Florida courts have jurisdiction on Florida elections -- SCOTUS does not -

and maybe dial down the hubris - you shouldn't be calling names when you don't know what you're talking about

My above statements are not incorrect. Read it again. I never stated that anyone brought the matter to the Florida State court. I said the court foisted themselves(by not stopping the recounts of recounts) on the issue, and if that court has jurisdiction, then so does SCOTUS, simply because they handle appeals of lower courts. This is basic law.

Name calling? Good one oh you who calls names in just about every post on this thread. Perhaps you should dial down your hypocrisy. Using numb nuts is particularly low brow. Edit: on reviewing this thread, your namecalling isn't in most every post like I thought.

How could anyone take you seriously when you avoid backing up your statement that Gore claimed that he invented the internet? Provide that information in its proper context and prove you aren't totally full of shit.

"My above statements are not incorrect." - yes they are. Apparently, you don't know what, 'foisted,' means -- so you might want to look that up - and no, there is no law that allows election judgements to be appealed to the SCOTUS -- you'd better check your basic law against your Constitutional Law - and the Constitution says where the SCOTUS can accept cases - elections isn't one of them

and no, I don't call names, I return fire --- not, as do you, when cornered

finally, you'd better cough up a quote and a source backing up that insult on Al Gore or admit it is not just a smear but also a falsehood

[sharkman]

Come on, everyone knows Gore claimed he invented the internet, he tried to back out of it later but it was too late. Just like Kerry said he voted FOR the patriot act BEFORE he voted against it. He later tried to explain and spin, but the stupid things people say in politics tend to stick.

Funny how Bush can get away with it though. He's filled a book with funny quotes, yet he's a two termer. It probably says more about the competition at the time I guess.

Oh, so you're using the old,"Come on, everyone knows Gore claimed he invented the internet...," argument. So, actually, you have no evidence of such a claim. Shame on you.

Everybody knows that conservatives often like to be intellectually dishonest and swiftboat their opponents because they think the average voter is too stupid to understand context.

If you can provide the context of Gore's statement and still stand by your claim, you could try and redeem yourself.

But you already know that you're just lying, so you won't.

[Guthrie]

lots of those on the extreme right, when faced with irrefutable truth, throw insults over their shoulders as they run away --- no, they cannot afford to listen to the truth as their unbalanced fairy tale views of the world cannot survive a truthful examination

[BayLee]

When you get a few million more votes than your opponent,you win.

Only in America would they say because you received a few hundred more votes in one state then that makes you the winner

[Figleaf]

If they wish to nominate him for a Nobel Prize shouldn't it be in Science. That seems the most appropriate prize since there is no prize called, the Nobel Darling of the Liberals Prize.

Surely the whole Nobel Award structure is all about being liberal darlings!

Think of it: Peace? Progress? Use of knowledge to improve human life?

It's all about stuff pinkos hold dear and the right reviles.

Happened in New Brunswick last election. Damned Liberals winning there, must be crooked hey??

[mtm]

ha, our liberal party here in NB is more conservative than you can imagine.

Its not actually a blue party its a red, white and blue party (the corporate colours of Irving Oil)

Bernie isn't any better though. I think the reason they hate each other so much is because they are english and french clones of each other. Their beliefs, policies and actions are exactly the same and a Lib gov is arguably even more pro-business (and by business I mean Irving) than bernies was. although its a very close call.

[geoffrey]

My point was that Bernie got .5% higher in popular vote and lost the election.

I really disagree with your idea that either party is super conservative. Compared to the PC's in Alberta or the Liberals in BC, N.B. has nothing.

[mtm]

yeah that was an interesting situation.

The fact was that all the old tory guard were so popular in the ridings they did win (Bev Harrison and Trevor Holder with 50+% of the vote for example) and lost so many others by very narrow margins.

I think it is important to note the difference though in the American system, whereby all the votes in an area are swung one way or the other (X number of electoral votes) just on the basis of one close race. The cause of the imbalance in NB (and is possible in any other FPTP provincial or federal system) is a different type than that of the USA's strange electoral college rules.
