Florida played a major role in the 2000 Bush/Gore Presidential race. Actually, THE major role.
The election came down to Florida. The ballots were counted. They were referred to as chats. A joke!
It was not the chats that decided the election. It was Ralph Nader. He ran as a third party candidate. Took a significant number of votes from Gore. Had Nader not run, Gore would have won Florida and the election.
I remember Nader and the race. Many who will vote this year do not. Especially those voting for the first time. College students. Most 2-4 years old at the time of the 2000 election.
A guest on one of the talk shows this morning commented re the situation. He had visited some college campuses. Next to no one knew who Ralph Nader was and the impact he had on the 2000 race. His inquiry was part of a discussion attempting to show a vote for third party candidate Johnson could result in a Trump victory.
Let me stay with the Presidential election for a moment. Trump is threatening to get into Bill Clinton’s infidelities. What bullshit! Who cares! Yesterday’s news!
Trump has to have a long list of sexual conquests. The man probably has a sex record few have achieved. He believes he is safe from exposure. As I understand it, there are clauses written into marital and sexual settlements prohibiting women from revealing anything Trump might have done of a sexual/negative nature. If any of the ladies does, she loses the money being paid or already paid. If paid, the money has to be paid back. Silence for pay.
A few will come out from under the floor boards.
Busy middle day. Lori for a haircut. She is getting ready to move to new quarters on White Street. Visited Jay at his new restaurant to be on Southard next to Bank of America. Place still under renovation. Looks good. Jay the chef looked more like Jake the carpenter. Quick stops at Walgreens and Publix.
Howard Livingston is having a party saturday from noon to 6. At the Looe Key Tiki Bar. A social fundraiser for the Kevin Piper Memorial Fund. It’s Howard and his Friends Club.
Another hurricane. Matthew. Presently a 2. Expected to become a 3 this afternoon.
Not expected to hit Key West or the Keys. Might hit Miami, though considered remote. Expected to turn out to the ocean.
Hurricanes are fickle. Matthew has already evidenced his fickleness. Last night, Matthew was to turn northward. Instead, Matthew turned southward into the Caribbean.
Hurricanes are not dependable.
New York Times columnist Gail Collins has a sharp humorous way of writing. A recent column concerned White House pets. She concluded by getting into Trump. Her closing words: “If he wins the election, we would have the first President in history to refuse to pardon the Thanksgiving turkey.”
The Munich Agreement was signed this date in 1938. Hitler took advantage of the allies he was dealing with. They agreed to give a portion of Czechoslovakia to Germany if Hitler promised no war.
Chamberlain returned to London uttering the famous words…..”Peace in our time.” Chamberlain told the world Hitler was a gentleman. Less than two years later, Germany invaded Poland.
Contrast Chamberlain’s words re Hitler with those being presently spoken by Trump re Putin.
Enjoy your day!
Chads. Not chats. The joke is you, you liberal sack of shit.
That’s super harsh, but calling them chats is a pretty miserable error for someone who hits so heavily on all the research he does.
Yes, you do need to edit more carefully!
Anne, Fred and Anonymous…..Perfect I am not. I assume each of you is.
I was for Nader when he ran in early 70s. Also for Shirley Chisholm too in 70s. What was I thinking? haha
Suck a dick you pretentious liberal douchebag.
2000 ? The year of the ‘hanging chads’. Nader has always been absolutely nutz and he did hurt gore.
It may well be time for a third political party, but, the country just isn’t ready yet I don’t think. That candidate is just a spoiler and steals votes from the other two evils.
I was searching at-range more than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means uncovered
any kind of intriguing write-up similar to your own website.
It is beautiful well worth enough in my situation. In my opinion, when all webmasters and
also writers generated outstanding articles whenever performed, the world wide web
may be a lot more useful than ever before.
