So let me get this straight MJG, your sole answer to all of these points was not answer any of them? "Straw Man"(nice two step), "Be specific"(I was just as specific as the guy who wrote the original article)

"the Bush Administration/Cronyism" ( forgot about Clinton eh? The White House Travel office?, Loral weapons systems to China? Global Crossing? Oh Yeah, Bush is the only one)

I think the only point you did address was the 2000 election, and you were wrong. The Florida Supreme Court chose to ignore the law that was already in place, as was her right, the Florida Secretary of State took it to a higher court. The unwillingness of The FlSC to uphold the law made it a Federal matter. Funny how lefties are all of a sudden "states rights" fans. ironic no?

As for Russia, Cuba, etc.not being a part of the "study". First off, there was no "study" as is indicated by the author's description of Nazi Germany as a "fascist" regime.Why wasnt Russia, Cuba, Iraq, Pol Pot, and all of the others part of the study? Could it be that this would produced a result opposite of what the author wished it to? yes, I believe that is why.These are left-wing governments (as was Naziism, National Socialists, rememember?) and it would not have been very flattering to shine the spotlight on them would it have?

And just to let you know, that last bit that wholeheartedly agreed with was written by me. it was referring to the idiot who wrote the original article. I am glad that you agree.
