If the American public who was outraged by the theft of the election from Al Gore in 2000 were as courageous and defiant then as the Green Revolution in Iran is now, we may not have had to endure 8 years of destruction to America and the world under Bush and Cheney.
I don’t understand how exactly the 2000 election was supposedly stolen from Al Gore. The votes in Florida statistically were a tie. But if the court would have given Gore what he asked for, a recount of certain counties, he still would have lost.
But Gore wouldn’t have lost in all scenarios. It all depends on how they would have decided to count the votes. Using some criteria, Bush would have won and using other criteria Gore would have won. The long and short of it was that the election was really, really, really close.
You can argue that different criteria should have been used or all of the ballots counted, but I don’t see a scenario were you can argue that Bush stole the election. Nor do I see why people should have taken to the streets in protest.
