Will Democrats show integrity?
Published on October 26, 2004 By messybuu In Democrat

In 2000, many Democrats accused Bush of stealing the presidential election because the Supreme Court of the United States would not allow infinite recounts to take place in selective counties in Florida. The Democrats still complain to this day that Bush stole the election.

The election of 2004 is sure to be close. It'll be so close that recounts are inevitable. If Kerry wins, will the Democrats fight for the right of Bush to have infinite recounts in counties he lost? If Kerry wins, will the Democrats condemn the Supreme Court for not allowing Bush to have infinite recounts in selective counties?

Or will Democrats demand that Bush accept the results of only three recounts, showing that it was never about preserving democracy to them, but about swindling their way into the White House?

Well, Democrats?

So what you're saying specifically about Florida is that there was no tampering and no possibility that an election with as many voters as there were could be "accurately" talied as being 257 votes separating the candidates with no recounts necessary?


Recounts aren't bad. Gore got recounts. Three of them. Yet, that didn't seem to be enough. One has to wonder what the magic number of recounts would be enough. I have a feeling it wouldn't be all right until it turned up a victory for Gore or until people simply got tired of waiting.
All I'm asking is that if Democrats aren't just sore losers, then they should demand that Bush get as many recounts as they were trying to get Gore, even if that means dozens and dozens of recounts.
