Letter: Stop attacks on president

When will the libs ever give it up?

It seems that no matter how many times the media recount Florida's 2000 presidential election votes the results are the same -- George Bush beat Al Gore. The latest and final recount, sponsored by a media consortium that included 62,000 never-before counted "undervotes," adds an even more definitive twist to the Democratic Party's Florida defeat.

"The new data, compiled by the Associated Press and seven other news organizations, also suggested that Gore followed a legal strategy after Election Day that would have led to his defeat even if it had not been rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court," reported the New York Post Monday. The consortium completed the two partial recounts that team Gore unsuccessfully pursued in court. Results showed a Bush win by a margin of at least 225 votes.

The conclusion that Gore would have lost even without the high court's help is sure to disappoint Democrats who have argued that Bush was "selected" by the Supremes rather than elected by the people. But with our nation now at war and in an economic recession (courtesy of the policies of the past administration) this repugnant attack of our commander-in-chief, the U.S. Supreme Court and the electoral college of our Constitution must be put to rest.
