Al Gore 2000 Presidential Concession Speech

Were the results called into question due to the razor thin margin and the presence of known ballot errors?? You are trying to compare apples to oranges. The apple is a candidate that challenges a result when it is suspected that the number of mistakes is thought to exceed the margin of victory and that a recount could change the result. That's the 2000 Presidential election. The orange (no pun intended) is Donald Trump, a candidate who is awful and should know it but doesn't, who says before a single ballot is cast on Nov 28th (oh wait, I meant Nov 8th) that he refuses to accept any future election result if he loses.

 

Mob rules, yay!!!

 

Certainly not with Iraq, since it was all a lie. And, possibly not Afghanistan. A smart leader would have cut the head off the snake and invaded Saudi Arabia.

Mob? So the citizens of the union are a mob?

No. I am sick of the minority - the rich - controlling everything. Time for a change.

 

"that he refuses to accept any future election result if he loses."

When did he state that?

 

But within the framework of this republic, votes are counted to determine who represents us. Keep in mind that we are talking about election results, not what our elected officials should or should not do after the election.

 

In an age where it was so hard to vote only those who really cared voted. I do not want uniformed people voting in mass. If you were to get rid of the electoral college all the power would lay with the big states and the big cities

To be fair we have that now.

 

Saudi? interesting. And you don't think that invasion would have gotten the calls for "no blood for oil"? Hell, Iraq was at least sanctioned and their oil production for the world was nill compared to Saudi. Imagine the price of gas if we had invaded Saudi. The biggest reason for the housing bust was the fastest inflation of gas prices during the time where almost everyone was trying to buy and drive a gas guzzling beast like the navigator. The caused a lot of people to default on the house payments which led to interest going up on the sub prime ARMs and creating a domino effect. Sure, sounds smart.

50.1% is a mob yes. The rich don't control everything, their vote counts as 1 just as the poor guys vote. Hell, there is 63% of white people in this country, guess they can always vote for slavery again right? Democracy is always the will of the majority imposing their beliefs over the minority. That's why the founders had us in a constitutional republic.

 

Gore didn't whine about a "rigged election" months before Election Day.

Trump seems prepared to contest the results regardless of the outcome.

 

Its a sad thing and the dems want more uniformed voters voting. Heck they dont even care of they are not citizens

Bush wasn't exposed as just rigging the primary or be in collusion with the media.

 

the media has the right to say whatever they want about a candidate.

its called a "free press".

 

I would say the majority of voters do not research the candidates they are voting for and reply on the *news* or blogs at best.. Party has nothing to do with that...

 

The don't have a right to be partisan propagandists as opposed to reporters of the news.
In that case they are fair game and it's proper and right to point out they are makers of the news, not reporters of it.

 

what part of "freedom of the press" don't you understand?????????????

Fox News has every right to bash Hillary and prop up Trump, if they so choose.

they may not get any respect or ads if they do so, but they are free to do as they wish.

 

Depends on what you're defining Media. TMZ is media. BET, MTV are media.

If a NEWS organization is using opinions rather than sticking strictly to the facts (what you said- saying anything they want about someone), it's not news, it's by definition, propaganda. Hitler was mighty fine at what you are suggesting.

 

Fox News has every right to ignore all of Trump's failures and prop up his achievements, so as to defeat Hillary.

they will look like biased crap, but they have the right to do it

 

In cahoots is call a publicist. They can say what every they want, but lying and hiding information is a shill. But I guess you are calling soviet Russian news or N Korea news "free" too right? Since they can say what ever they want too?

 

Fox News has been targeting Trump too. In fact, Fox News appears to be the only media station that goes after both candidates. Cannot say the same for ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, etc.

 

Of course....the press is free to do whatever they want but only at the risk of loss of any moral authority they might have.

There would be absolutely no need or market for Fox to fill if the big government approved media hadn't been such lying whores for all these years.

 

There is nothing wrong with defending freedom of the press. There is also nothing wrong with saying the press is biased. Both things are equally true.

 

No , he didn't talk about it. He actually did it, and dragged it on for months.

 

no, i just looked it up. 102.166 law,manual recounts of overvotes and undervotes

 

Fox does that with Trump, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS do that with Hillary.

Are you really (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about one major network compared to 5?

You're the definition of biased.

 

do you think the election is a fraud and should be ignored by Hillary, cause Fox News is clearly trying to prop up Trump and hurt Hillary?

I personally trust the American people to make a fair decision, regardless of the clear bias held by Fox News.
