Cheney's problem with the Constitution: The illegal ticket

Commentary

There was a rustling in the political thicket of selecting George W. Bush's running mate when Dick Cheney flew off to Wyoming to register to vote. Insiders said it was so Bush could select him, and indeed they were right. But why change Cheney's voter registration?

Why the Bush-Cheney ticket might not pass the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Palm Beach Post: Rejection leaves issue hanging

The Palm Beach ballots speak

Bush Allows "Pregnant Chad" Recounts in Texas, but Not in Florida. That's Called Hypocrisy.

Having a double standard is just second nature to Good Ol' Dubya. As the attached Texas citation indicates, in Texas a ballot with a "pregnant chad" qualifies as one to be included in a final tally. But, of course, the Bush legal eagles are arguing against such an approach in Florida. My oh my, the hypocrisy just keeps on piling up. Democrats.com commentary

In Case You Forgot, With Bush We Get A Two for One: Chuck Heston and the NRA Come with Bush/Cheney

Emboldened by his backing of Bush, Chuck Heston is now telling the Brits that they need guns just like America. Of course, we are the most well-armed country in the world and look what it's done for us: created a spiraling cycle of gun violence. Well, rest assured if Bush moves into the White House, Chuck Heston and his gun-toting cronies will be breaking out the Scotch in the West Wing. Don't be surprised to see the White House Lawn used for NRA target practice. Democrats.com commentary

More on the Court's Rebuff of the Bush Arguments

Commentary

November ,2000 - Salon.com

The Florida Supreme Court so thoroughly cleaned the clock of the Bush legal team that Jim Baker was left to whine and bully before journalists in Tallahassee. One-by-one, the Court took a fly swatter and squashed the specious legal arguments that the Bush legal eagles had presented. Not that George the Junior would have understood any of it anyway.

FREEDOM

E.B. White (1899-1985) wrote this essay and published it in Harper's magazine in July 1940. It seemed appropriate to put his essay up in reaction to some of the tactics being used by the Bush camp, and how many American's are simply ignoring them. If the name sounds familiar, but you can't quite place it, E. B. White was the co-author, (with William Strunk, Jr.) and reviser of The Elements of Style. He also wrote the children's classics Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web.

From the outset of George W. Bush's campaign, the restoration of honor and integrity to the White House has been a key sales pitch of the Texas governor.

In a recent television ad, his allies in the Republican Party blasted Vice President Al Gore's association with scandal....

Whom do you want to nominate Justices for the Supreme Court in the next four years? No issue is more vital in the race between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush-- repeat, no issue is more important than the makeup of the next Supreme Court--and therefore the future outlook for reproductive rights, civil rights, campaign finance reform, environmental protection and perhaps much, much more.
