1. It is incredible that in today's world the United States of America can
experience an election outcome that swings on a few thousand votes
amidst millions, yet there is no rioting or coup attempt -- that everyone intends to abide
by the final count. Agree
2. U.S. citizens have a constitutional right to vote.
Exercising that right carries the personal obligation to vote with care and
responsibility. Of course Rights come with responsibilities
3. The election fiasco has caused the United States to lose moral
authority in global affairs. Agree Disagree
4.
Point: It has been theorized that post-election manipulations in the United States
verify we are witnessing the end of democracy as it has existed for over 200 years in the
U. S. Finally even the great tradition of true constitutional democracy implemented
and practiced so well in the U. S. has deteriorated and now operates at a lower level as
we often witness in many other nations' so-called 'peoples' democracies'. Do you agree? Yes No
5. Judgement:
"The capacity to distinguish, assess and evaluate situations after deliberation and draw authoritative conclusions based upon sound
reasoning; good sense." Bush Gore Kerry
6.
Global standards: The same standards for reading and accepting a ballot to
determine that it does or does not contain a valid vote must be applied to all ballots for
all voters in a given election. The universe of voters in the presidential election
is all voters in all 50 states. As an example, counting selective ballots in Florida
and applying new standards of acceptance after the election removes all other voters in
Florida and the other 49 states from the election for president. Therefore, the
manual recounts in Florida violate the U. S. Constitution's guarantee of equal
protection. That is disenfranchisement. Agree Disagree
7. The
afternoon of November 7, Election Day, Democrat operatives hired a telemarketing firm to
telephone voters in select Florida counties to tell voters that there had been reports of
many voters being confused by the ballot and being unsure that they voted correctly or
even voted at all for the candidate of their choice. Voters were then instructed to
telephone their congressmen to complain about precinct voting operations and their fears
that their votes would not be counted correctly. That telemarketing campaign led to
all the manual recounts resulting in Gore gaining hundreds of votes. What should be done now to
prevent future election interference?

8. The
U. S. Administration:
George W. Bush has been working for several years with many of the people (including
minorities & women) that he is selecting for top positions. He is
not suddenly going on a quest for minorities and women to select in order to make the
government "look like America," to quote Bill Clinton in 1992.
In other words, Bush is proving what many
people have always known: Good people come in all shapes, sizes and colors --- there
is no need to lower standards just to serve political correctness by including unqualified
minorities and women. Some of the best and brightest exist in all groups --- it just
takes a leader who wants the best because they are the best, not because they satisfy a
quota.
