On
'Election Contest 2000':
The
Democratic record during the Clinton administration,
despite all argument to the contrary, remains simply
inexcusable. What "lesser of two evils"?

Miami-Dade's election
board interpretation of the issues surrounding the
2000 election clearly began to turn the tide against
V.P. Gore's presidential efforts. Cuban-Americans
and other Miami's Hispanics simply said NO to the
attempt at what many believed was an unsubstantiated,
protracted, partisan inspired and executed, hand
recount that was to exclude the Hispanic districts for
supposed "expeditiousness".
Mutatis
mutandis.

V.P. Gore and now four out of seven Florida's S.C. J.'s
seem to have inserted even more subjectivity and partisanship
into that state's preexisting, legislatively designed,
electoral process. This judicial agenda on the
state level, masquerading as interpretational
"fairness",
maybe overstepping national constitutional-authority.
Unfortunately,
this drawn-out conflict continues to degrade America's democratic
system at home and abroad. A second and more
defining decision from the U.S. Supreme Court will now
be necessary. Let us hope the nation's highest
court will assume its responsibility and will lead our
country away from the brink now confronted.

The unanimous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court sends a
message to the Florida Supreme Court and seems to seal
the coffin on the Vice President's suit to overturn the
vote in Florida. Regardless of partisanship:
1.} State-elected, legislative officials should
not be callously superceded by state-appointed,
judicial ones.
2.} Existing laws should not be changed for
their retroactive
enactment (judicially or legislatively).

Rationally, moral argument and legal
argument are distinct and not to be debated simultaneously. V.P. Gore and current democratic
leadership's tactic of moralizing over the result of the
popular vote is extremely divisive for the nation.
Without apparent evidence of frank wrong doings, it fosters confusion
and disregards a basic principal of fair judicial systems.
The Florida Supreme Court to should not enact laws
RETROACTIVELY in order to fit subsequently-desired
results. The U.S. Supreme Court may soon provide some legal and moral clarity
to our expectant nation.

Realizing that enfranchising our men and women of the
armed forces may extend Governor Bush's lead beyond a
contestable reach has again renewed Vice President
Gore's efforts to disallow many of the absentee military
ballots. The Vice President's latest spin effort
involving his attempt to enforce a standard never
previously introduced anywhere in America, into the
military electoral absentee balloting, confirms a desire
to win at any cost. Americans, regardless of
political affiliation, should denounce this effort to
exclude military personnel votes.
11/18/00
A seemingly desperate V. P. Gore tactic of challenging
and forcing overseas military ballots to be disallowed
on the basis of very explicable missing postmark
technicalities is a serious tactical error. As a
former and hope-to-be-again democrat, I expect all
Americans to denounce this latest deplorable strategy.
If fair minded democrats do not show their contempt for
this tactic from the onset, it may permanently mar the
integrity of the party. Such pure partisanship
should be relegated to the 20th century.

Why has Hillary been
relatively quiet about it all?..
The longer Bush and Gore 'battle it out', the better it
may be for her future bids.
Maybe therefore, the worse for America.
11/12/00
Dear V.P. Gore:
You lost. Don't drag it out and lose credibility for
your "next time".
11/09/00
When G. W. Bush gets the 2000 Presidency, might it lower
Hillary Clinton's
opportunity to run for the Presidency in
2004? not 2008? ... 2012? ... 2016!
