Question for Americans?

Thanks

from JoeUser Forums
Hi Guys

I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 last night, and while it was nothing I didn’t already know, It was a bit wish washy, and not objective at all… I am looking forward to seeing a movie that tells the story in an objective fashion…

I did learn something last night though – I was completely unaware that it only took one member of the senate to sign an objection to Bush becoming president in 2000 – I know, I am a bit daft, but could one of you please kindly tell me, in your opinion, why no member of the senate considered the petitions coming from the African American communities?

The impression I got from the movie was that Al Gore would have won quite easily if just one member of the senate objected, hence getting the ball rolling for a thorough investigation… Whether Bush won or not, well, it’s irrelevant now, I would just like to know why not one member of the US senate had the courage to object and instigate the investigation…

I could be completely wrong, and because it was directed by Michael Moore, a blatantly obvious fact might be missing from my picture here – that’s why I am asking for your help…

Thanks Yanks!!!

I remember that there were 3 vote counts, and Bush won all 3. The Florida state government, controlled by Republicans including GW's brother Jeb, decided to not do another recount. Gore sued to do another recount, and the Florida Supreme court sided with Gore. The ruling was appealed to the US Supreme court, which ruled against Gore.An independent study determined that even with another recount, Bush still would have won.


but also the overseas military votes not counted.


The first three vote counts were completed BEFORE Bush took office. Since then several independent studies found that Bush did win....if you take into account the military votes that did not arrive in time, it was an even larger margin.

I do have some right wing tendencies, but I don't agree with any one group on all my issues and opinions. No offense taken!

I just hated listening to the whining after the election...it was the whining that finally did me in. 20/20 hindsight=Bush won. If you have valid issues about people being refused the right to vote, fine. Bring it up and fix the problem, but don't put the leadership of the country on hold because you are looking into the situation. If you are too stupid to understand how to vote.....You probably are to stupid to make a rational choice but if you want to vote, ask for help or close your eyes and vote randomly.

you see i can't exactly tell you why the senators didn't have any guts. the fact is that there is a lot of corruption in the american government. i think that they knew what president gb would do once in office. michael moore may be a crazy person but many things that he says can be researched. i haven't watched farenheit 9/11 yet but i will. and from what i have read of moore, i have been able to back them up with more than three reliable sources. it's just corruption man. and we have to deal with it
