Birthers, I love the slang terms that political opposition groups come up with to silence people.

The term isn't there to silence these idiots, its to publicise them.

Oh good lord, are there still crackpots who believe in this stuff?

Birthers will never ever be happy with any evidence, no matter how damning, that ever could be released on this. They have no concept of testing a null hypothesis. Any evidence to the contrary of their opinion is discarded as false, simply because they have themselves convinced that Obama was not born in Hawaii. Nothing will ever change their minds of that. I'd shut the books and tell them to screw off too. Save everyone the time, money and hassle of dealing with these lunatics.

Yeah they remind me of the "Bush stole the Y2K election" people and the folks who think 9-11 was an inside job.

The Tea Party is a lot bigger and diverse than that, stop falling for Dem propaganda.

I'm not brother...making light of what we see from President to President. You would think the Tea Party movement (bowel movement as the head of ACORN called it) was some type of new thing. Really, it is all nothing but hype....

Or is that "I happen to know somebody who knows somebody who knows..."

Had a friend then that was a Gore supporter - that was pretty much her reaction when Bush won.

Bush didn't steal the election. He just had the Supreme Court rule in his favor instead of going to the Senate to decide as per Constitutional law.

Maybe you need to reread the Constitution. It's the House, not the Senate, who decides, and then only if none of the candidates recieves the required number of electoral votes.

And a quick history lesson: The Florida recounts went on forever, and the Democrats seemed to pick up a few votes with each recount. That said, Gore never came close to actually passing Bush, and there was the question of where those votes were coming from, especially since the counties in question were all Democrat-controlled.

The Florida Attorney General proclaimed that it was time for the counting to stop. Was she biased? Of course - she was a Republican and it was her guy who was leading. Was she wrong? Maybe. But according to Florida state law it was her call to make.

The Gore camp ran to the Florida State Supreme Court, which ruled that she must let the counting continue.

The Bush camp ran to the United States Supreme Court, which ruled that Florida law was law and the State Court didn't have the authority to overturn it.

Did the US Supreme Court "appoint" Bush to be president? You can argue it either way, but you are showing your bias if you don't also acknowledge that the Florida Court was trying to "appoint" Gore.
