    If he has a right to ask for manual recounts was he obligated to ask for a statewide one or did he have the pick and choose?

    He did, but he only asked for ones in the largely democratic counties which favor him. Its like being a "cafeteria christian" and picking out only the parts of a religion you like.

    Why didn't bush ask for a manual recount of other counties didn't he have that right?

    There was no need. He won Constitutionally. Gore is trying to Clinton his way into office. Concentration camps were legal under Nazi rule. But this isn't a legal issue, its of the Constitutional ilk.

    The democrats were given TWELVE days for the recount while only FIVE were MANDATORY. This ruling was done by the Ouija Board ruling by the Florida State Supreme Court.

    If you're down by a few points in a baseball game, you can't extend it into extra innings. There are rules to be followed. Even if you felt that the umpire made a bad call (although instant reply shows it to be a good call) you can't keep playing more and more innings until you are up by one then say its now fair. It's childish games six year olds play.

    I thought Bush "trusted people" did he really mean that he trusted machines?

    He does. I wouldn't trust ANYONE to count ballots other than an unbiased machine. People are exponentially more prone to error plus that whole bias thing comes into play.

    Few weeks? Try months. When W. is supposed to be elected president in January all it takes is one member of the Senate to disagree and the whole debacle will start again. Gore needs to step like he said he would back on the 17th when the vote is certified.

    Lieberman wasn't announcing anything meaningful. What he had to say was known. He whined like a school girl. Meaningless rhetoric and discourse was all he spewed. Gore and Lieberman need to be kept to their words of conceding. What liars.

    Gore needs to stop going to the courts as a backdoor into the white house. His actions may be declared legal by the courts settings a ouija board presedence though. Don't forget, Lieberman was the backer of many censorship bills as was Gump.

    ...I just want a *fair* count...

    You have had a FAIR count. Al Gump has just been allowed to play dirty and politicize the happenings. He is afraid since hillary has said she would like to run for Fuhr in 2004 and she would beat him like a woman. Plus Clinton/Gore type democrats are criminals who need to be executed.

    I mean, doesn't that sound a little ridiculous to you?

    Not nearly as silly as Al Gump saying he would concede the election once the votes had been certified. He said this on the 17th and three days later Lieberman said the same.

    Gore has a right to ask for manual recounts under Florda law

    You're half right there. Its in the Florida state statute where an automatic recount must be done if its less than 1/2% margin between candidates. He asked for extentions; he was given tripple the amount of time on the books. Yet its still not fair?

    Gore offered recounts in all counties.

    No he didn't. He only asked for recounts in heavily democratic counties: West Palm Beach, Broward, and Volusia. Each recount was done by error prone humans reading machine-like ballots. Humans dealing with this kind of volume is bound to favor him.

    Manual recounts also occurred in Republican counties.

    See above.

    Gore was given almost triple the amount of time that he is required by law, and he still lost.

    Certain aspects of government were taken out of the people's hands on purpose. They believe that by having state legislators elect its TWO representatives to the Senate, the naturally corrupt politicians would trigger enough in-fighting as yet another check on the accumulation of power.

    Note: The point below is to note that MacOSX is not a new flavour of unix, it's a new major version increment of NeXTSTEP. Note the internal version number consistancy. On MacOSX Server,

    `uname -s` == "Rhapsody", `uname -r` == "5.7".

    MacOSX = Rhapsody 5.7+ Rhapsody = OPENSTEP for Mach (product code name change as of Apple buyout) OPENSTEP for Mach = NeXTSTEP (product name change as of Sun-NeXT co-released OpenStep spec.)

    therefore (transitive property)

    MacOSX = NeXTSTEP

    The series, each of which is comprised of some version of Mach, BSD, Display Postscript, and Objective-C Frameworks:

    NeXTSTEP 1.x -4.4BSD-lite -Mach 2.5 -DPS -Objective-C + Appkit Framework

    NeXTSTEP 2.x -4.4BSD-lite -Mach 2.5 + extensions -DPS -Objective-C + Appkit Framework

    NeXTSTEP 3.0..3.3 -4.4BSD-lite -Mach 2.5 + more extensions -DPS -Obj-C + Appkit + Foundation Kit (early kit)

    OPENSTEP 4.0..4.2 -4.4BSD-lite -Mach 2.5 + more extensions -DPS -Obj-C + New OpenStep frameworks + EOF

    Rhapsody 5.x (Early Apple prototype) -4.4-lite -Mach 2.5 + blah blah -DPS -Obj-C + OpenStep core frameworks (Codenamed Yellowbox) + extensions + EOF

    MacOSX Server 1.x (Rhapsody 5.7) same as the above, but stabler.
