THE POSSUM COUNTY DAILY FLAPDOODLE
Serving America - One Possum At A Time!

NO!! I WANT THE OLD JOKES!!! NOW!!!!

Just who's in charge here, anyway?
Dateline: November 27, 2000
THE LITTLE GUY STANDS TALL AS WELL
(The State Of Resolve/UPI)

Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-One of the guys who use lawyers, not bloodthirsty goons, to get their point accross) shows why 500,099,022 Americans want him for Vice President. As an interesting sidebar, Lieberman has had ZERO heart attacks in his life.
Senator Joseph Lieberman 11/26/2000: "Good evening.

From the beginning of this extraordinary period of time, Vice President Gore and I have asked only that the votes that were cast on Election Day be counted. This evening, the Secretary of State of Florida has decided to certify what by any reasonable standard is an incomplete and inaccurate count of the votes cast in the state of Florida. The Secretary of State has even refused to accept the results of the count in Palm Beach County, which means that hundreds of votes that have already been identified for Governor Bush or Vice President Gore are being discarded. And thousands of hours of work by hundreds of citizens of Florida, Republicans and Democrats and Independents alike, are being ignored.

What is at issue here nothing less than every American’s simple, sacred right to vote.

How can we teach our children that every vote counts, if we are not willing to make a good faith effort to count every vote?

Because of our belief in the importance of these fundamental American principles, Vice President Gore and I have no choice but to contest these actions, as provided under Florida law and in accord with the decision of the Florida Supreme Court. It is in our nation’s interest that the winner in Florida is truly the person who got the most votes. As we have said all along we do not know who will prevail after a full and fair count of every legally cast ballot. But the integrity of our self-government is too important to cast into doubt because votes that have been counted, or others that have not yet been counted, and clearly should be, have unjustifiably been cast aside.

That is why we seek the most complete and accurate count possible. We have an obligation, not just to the fifty million Americans who cast their votes for Vice President Gore and me, but to every American who voted in this election. They all deserve a fair and just outcome, that respects their participation, and does not diminish the value of their votes. And we have an obligation to uphold the Constitution we are sworn to uphold: the ideal of one person, one vote is central to our system of Government and must never be compromised.

We are now going through and unprecedented time in American history. The campaign is over. But what we do now will be as important to the future of our country as anything any of us did during the campaign. We must proceed responsibly, in a way that honors the rule of law, and strengthens the institutions of our free society. We must show the world and teach our children that even in this unparalleled time, America can and will fulfill its democratic values by demonstrating the patience to count every vote that was cast.

We have an opportunity here and we have a responsibility to ensure that this election lifts up our democracy and respects every voter and every vote, no matter what the outcome. And that is precisely what Vice President Gore and I will seek to do in the days ahead.

Thank you very much."



Meanwhile, back in the squalid, grubby little political cesspool known as Jeb Bush's Florida... State Motto: "Pay Or Don't Play"...

Think Harris should have... oh, I don't know... actually COUNTED all the votes before she certified the Florida election? You know what to do! Click on the Dragon Lady!
Today, the nation was completely and totally not shocked when Governor A. Dubya O. L. Bush’s (R-is for Rent-A-Nazi!) Florida State Co-Chair and next Ambassador to Tiffany’s, Katherine "Let Them Eat Chad!" Harris (R-is also for Refuse To Respect The Constitution) decided to name her future boss the winner of Florida’s Presidential election!

"It was tough," Harris complained, "some county canvassing boards were able to complete their hand recounts on time, no matter how many petty law suits I filed against them. So Governor Bush only ended up with a 537 vote lead, rather than the 5,000 or so we were planning on, but too God damn many enlisted personnel filled our their absentee ballots for Vice President Gore, like what is that about?? Still, it’s better than the 815 vote lead Vice President Gore would have had if Republican operatives hadn’t intentionally slowed down the count in Palm Beach County so that I was "forced against my will" to reject their request for an extension, as well as their recount total, or the 2,000 vote lead that Vice President Gore would have had if high level Bush campaign workers hadn’t intentionally organized a Neo-Nazi riot that intimidated the Miami Dade board into dropping their recount all together, or the 10,000 vote lead Vice President Gore would have had if we hadn’t quickly and hypocritically withdrawn our lawsuit demanding that all military absentee ballots be reviewed, which, if we had won, would have actually forced us to follow Florida election law and discount all the absentee ballots postmarked after Election Day that I illegally allowed to be counted, or the 300,000 vote lead that Vice President Gore would have had if Jebbie and I hadn’t made damn sure the KKK wing of the Florida State Police kept the coons away from the polls with clubs. I miss the poll tax, don’t you? Life made so much more sense back then."

Governor Bush, resting in his Austin Bunker after an exhausting photo-op where he crowned himself King George II by the Divine Right Of Daddy Said I Could, did not have a TelePrompTer handy, so he had no comment on his transparently fake victory.




Hey, People's Quisling Michael Moore! Still think there's no difference between "Gush and Bore"? Which one of them is renting the Photo-Op Nazis to try and blackmail his way into the White House? This is a tough one, I know. Take your time...



The Free People Of The United States
Salute The Heroic Actions of Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD)!


Daschle, Senate Minority Leader, has reportedly approached liberal Republicans Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Lincoln Chafee (R-Rhode Island) to suggest they switch parties!

We believe EVERY Republican should be OUTRAGED that Governor Bush is using HIRED THUGS to force FLORIDA PUBLIC OFFICIALS to NEGLECT THEIR DUTY just to ensure that he FRADULENTLY MAINTAINS HIS MANUFACTURED LEAD IN FLORIDA. If Republicans truly are committed to the values they espouse, they should either defect to another party in protest (Democrat, Green, Reform, Libertarian, Socialist, Peace And Freedom... it doesn’t matter) or DEMAND their Senators and Representatives take back their party from the Extreme Right Wing.

ASK SMIRK TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE RENT-A-NAZI VIOLENCE
You, I and America know he won't. But we're Democrats. We gotta ask.



As a public service to everyone saddled with a dittohead in their lives who is claiming that Smirk won and Gore has no mandate, the Daily Flapdoodle liberally reprints the following letter from "The Maverick Republican" that we stole without permission from Bartcop.com’s letter page:


Subject: Facts Is Hard To Argue With If'n You Don't Use Fuzzy Math


Okay, here are the ‘hard numbers’ for the whacko right to chew on as they celebrate the anointing of the Texas WonderBoy to the highest office in the land:

According to the latest (11/25/00) numbers from USA Today, Gore has a vote total of 50,099,022 votes. That gives Gore about a 300,000-vote lead over BushBaby in the popular vote totals.

Only one other US presidential candidate in history has amassed more than 50 million popular votes – Ronald Reagan.

In his re-election bid in 1984, Reagan received 54,455,000 votes. Reagan also garnered the highest popular vote total ever as a first-time presidential candidate in 1980 by winning 43,901,812 votes – Almost 6 million votes LESS than Al Gore has gotten.

As for a Vice President running for the office of President, Gore outperformed then Vice President George Bush’s total in 1988 of 43,901,812 votes. (about 2 million votes more)

Gore also did better than Bill Clinton did in each of his runs for President. Clinton received 44,908,254 votes in 1992 and 45,590,703 votes in 1996.

In ‘landslide’ victories, Gore still received more than either Lynndon Johnson in 1964 (42,825,463 votes) and Richard Nixon’s 46,740,323 votes in 1972.

In close elections, Gore is the hands-down champion vote getter. In 1960, Kennedy won by only 119,450 votes over Richard Nixon. And Richard Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey in 1968 by 272,415 votes.

In summation:

Largest Number of Popular Votes Received:
1.Ronald Reagan, 198454,455,000 (+4 million, rounded)
2. . Al Gore, 2000 . 50,099,022 . .

Most Votes Received By A Vice President Running For President:
1. . Al Gore, 2000 . 50,099,022. (+2 million, rounded)
2. . George Bush, 1988 . 43,901,812 .

1. . Al Gore, 2000 . +300,000 (rounded)

SMIRK THINKS HE FIXED THE FLORIDA ELECTION
SMIRK'S HIRING RENT-A-PHOTO-OP NAZIS
TO INTIMIDATE THE PRESIDENT YOU CHOSE
(EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
MENTION THAT PART ABOUT AL BEATING SMIRK
IN THE POPULAR VOTE ANYMORE).
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT
POPULAR VOTE LOOSER SMIRK?

AL'S DAY IN D.C. UPDATE: Secure in the knowledge he won the election, the Last, Best Hope Of The Free People of The United States and Tipper took a break from fighting off the forces of fascism which threaten our sacred Democracy to go to church and pray that the mainstream GOP takes their party back from the Right Wing Nutcases and their Rent-A-Nazis.
DON'T LET THE RENT-A-PHOTO-OP NAZIS WIN THE PR BATTLE: My understanding is that there will be pro-Democracy, anti-Bush coup rallies every Saturday, to protest Smirk’s fuzzy vote count in Florida and his bogus claim that he won the Presidency already so we don’t need to see if anybody’s civil rights were violated in Florida. Click here to stay updated on participating cities and their protest locations.

Write, phone or email your Senators and Congressional Representatives -- tell them how you feel about the Florida election and what you think needs to be done to pick the next President! Especially if they are Republicans, let them know how you feel about Smirk hiring Rent-A-Nazis to force America to accept him as President! Let them know how you feel about the way Jeb runs THOUSANDS of black voters out of Florida's polls!

Al’s back in DC, on the job! Email the Last, Best Hope Of The Free People of The United States and tell him how you feel about his fight against the fascist menance, as well as Florida’s vote fraud and its civil rights abuses! Get specific! It’s Al!

Don’t forget to tell Joe what you think! After all, he’s in this fight, too!

Why has the fifth column in the fourth estate insisted that Al concede an election that isn’t over - - especially one so obviously rotten with voter fraud? WHY ISN'T THE RENT-A-NAZI STORY THE TOP STORY OF EVERY NEWS CAST?? WHERE'S THE COVERAGE OF THE THOUSANDS OF BLACK VOTERS IN FLORIDA THAT WHERE KEPT OUT OF THE POLLS BY THE POLICE?? Give those weasels a piece of your mind!
