Re: Florida Conspiracy
Now I hate Bush and don't want him in office, but I disagree with pretty much everything you said...

Okay, here goes...My father and I were talking about the current state of our country and somehow the conversation veered over to Bush and the current scenario of the United States. Then I started to wonder about the Florida Recount and the whole unprecedented ordeal this country faced...My inquiry is as follows, does anyone else feel as though Gore should have won the past elections?...I believed that it was going to be a tight race and then Florida happened...Few weeks later, and several recounts, we have George W. being inaugurated...I believe that there could have been foul play. George W. Bush, forced his way into office. I wouldn't be surprised if George Bush had a hand in it. |
Gore won the popular vote, he won a plurality of the country's votes. Unfortunately in this case our Constitution works against this fact because Bush won the electoral vote, fair and square. Even though there was controversy in Florida, it does not surprise me that Bush ended up winning. After all, the people of Florida did vote Jeb Bush, G.W.'s bro, as their governor as few years earlier.

G.W. was governor of Texas, his brother was governor of Florida, and his father was director of the CIA, vice-president, and then president. I think his political experience and family's experience pretty much speaks for itself.

This has no similarity to Watergate at all. Watergate was a crime. Nixon and his Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP) bugged Democratic offices and stole information from them. The situation in the 2000 election was that Florida's election boards did not have their shit together.

Iraq, in itself, is another issue to be dealt with, but not in the manner in which Bush did it. Look at the way events transpired. Yeah I know Condaleezza Rice said, "there is no silver bullet" in regards to preventing 9/11 or any other terrorist attack. I understand her point, but that doesn't mean that the response to 9/11 meant going into IRAQ, let alone having this very unexperienced politician harassing the UN and most of our allies in trying to collude against the proposed enemy. Having said that, it isn't surprising the twist and turn of events since the Florida Recount. For me, its pretty clear, Bush is deceiving and so was/is his plan. ALthough its in the name of freedom and patriotism, you can't hide evil and its manipulative demeanor. Something isn't quite right with the whole picture, as it will show through our history books, just like watergate, that the evidence is quickly mounting and will soon enough show clearly the ugly intentions and plans of this illegitimate president. |
This is where you really lost me. It seems like you are saying Bush rigged the election and doesn't take enough counter-terrorist actions just so he can use an attack against the US as justification to go to war with Iraq. This is why I laugh at most conspiracy theories. If there is any reason why Bush wanted to go to war with Iraq other than to get Sadam out, eliminate WMD's, and to fight terrorism, it was for Iraq's oil reserves. This is really the only "theory" that I believe.
