"Whining"

[mike_coop]

First of all, there are a lot of people who believe that there was wrong-doing in this election, I don't think you'll be able to find many people, Democrat or Republican, who believe that everything went perfectly well. Ther was reports of Bush votes outnumbering the total number of registered voters in one district in Ohio, and machines in Florida that counted backwards after they got to a certain point. These mistakes, while seen in a context of thousands of new machines all across the country don't seem to be too serious. But the point remains that these errors almost exclusively happened in Florida and Ohio, the two most crucial swing states, these errors all helped Bush (to my knowledge) and the manufacturer of the machines, Diebold, has strong financial ties to the Republican party.

More of an aristillian view point, where as the democrats seem to view the world in a more lockean outlook, with morality not being the central role of the government. But I dont agree with this sort of stance in government, I dont like the advancements that are being made at the expense of deceny.
