VIDEO: Shrum Says Gore Won 2000 Presidential Election, Joked Beforehand About Bush Getting Caught Cheating in Florida

Guest Blogged by Alan Breslauer

Hapless Democratic strategist Bob Shrum’s comments on this morning’s Meet The Press are fascinating in their own right but have added resonance considering U.S. House candidate John Russell’s Guest Post early today, concerning last November’s Florida elections. Shrum believes (and allegedly Gore too) that Gore won Florida and the 2000 election. He also tells an interesting story about Gore joking about Bush getting caught cheating the day before the election. Cheating, elections, Florida, seems like an epidemic.

    Lets play some bradblog hardball. Bradblog hardball is stuff that would cause Chris Matthews to shit his jeans. Just like other political wimps who cave in to neoCons like preznit blush.

    Assuming, of course, that Chris could get past his denial and world view moddly coddling to consider it in the first place (sadly which I do not think he could).

    Even tho I do really love Chris and salute much that he has done. He does not work in the red zone. He works the 50 yard line all the time.

    Brad and the bloggers here work the red zone. The 20 yard line down to the goal line. The place where when you score a corrupt bushie goes down.

    The recent voting posts ala Palast, congressional candidates, you Alan, and Brad, all doing wonderful stuff, and showing the unending corruption in American politics these daze. Yep, even scoring a few.

    Lets score some more.

    Has anyone noticed the “jet fuel terrorism” case? Has anyone noticed how unbelievably bogus it is?

    Has anyone extrapolated that it is a typical Rovian machination? Look, Rove runs the voting corruption and the fear corruption too.

    Rove’s mission is to scare the hell out of middle class folks and take away the votes of the little people in the lower class. And give a blow job to the ruling rich class.

    I wrote some software once that controlled the distribution of jet fuel, heating oil, state trooper car fuel, normal aircraft fuel, etc., etc. for the largest state in America.

    We often taunted Texans with the statement that if they did not tone down their egos a bit we would cut our state in half, and then Texas would be the third largest state in the nation.

    I know the petrozone. So I immediately realized that the JFK case was a Rovian ruse. Jet fuel is kerosene. It burns in kerosene lamps out at fish camps like the ones in places where John just went fishing. You know wilderness camps.

    Who would put car gasoline in a kerosene lamp? A fool. You put jet fuel in a kerosent lamp because it is not explosive or highly flamable. Car gasoline is deadly in such a scenario however.

    Yet the US Attorney bitch that Gonzo and Rove put there to develop “turrisstsss” cases told Americans that if they blew that pipeline with jet fuel in it all hell would break loose and it would be worse than 9/11. Horse shit. Elephant shit. Big f*cking lie shit.

    It would not even burn. No oxygen in the pipe. That is why it can go under neighborhoods. Jet fuel, kerosene, can be burned safely in open kerosene lamps at boy and girl scout remote camps … kerosene lamps … but only a fool would put what you have in your car into one of those. Yep, jet fuel is safer than car fuel.

    But scare the f*uck out of suburbia because the admin got its dress pulled up because of the TB thingy where a dude with a contagion flittered around the world unhampered. Or perhaps bushies f*cked up somewhere else? Who knows … they felt threatened and felt the need to scare the hell out of as many people as possible so the could “save them”.

    Maybe even the vote caging or the Scooter sentencing got them all in a tizzy so they commanded dumb bitch to force some indictments. Obvious Gonzales/Rove Department of Justice Just Us machinations.

    Whatever it is to Chrissy Mathews types, to me it is pure propaganda bullshit put out by people many of the Senate democrats are afraid to challenge, afraid to go to the wall against. It might wrinkle their socks …

    F*ck a bunch of that cowardice, starting with Rove the piglet who loves to scare decent folk.

    Bob Shrum is pathetic. He “believes” that Gore won Florida? Shrum is 6 years behind the times. He’s pure DLC and never considers that fraud cost the Dems in every election since 2000. He should go out with Donna Brazile next time she has luch with KKKarl.

    And Al Gore “allegedly” believes he won? Come on, Gore knows damn well he won Florida by at least 70,000 votes.

    http://www.geocities.com/electi...se.htm#Florida

    They need to look at Florida 2000. Bush “won” by 537 “official” votes – and the recount was aborted. But 185,000 spoiled (under and over-punched) ballots were never counted. Since approximately 65% of them were intended for Gore, he must have won the state by at least 60,000 votes. Extrapolating this result nationwide, and assuming that 3 million votes were uncounted, he must have won by at least two million votes. And it’s very likely that an unknown number of Gore votes were switched to Bush. Therefore, the 2000 election was nowhere as close as the media would like us to believe. Only the 5-4 Supreme Court decision was close.

    TIA, this official shows that the election was closer than that, until you add in the Fed absentee.
    Then below that it says, “Recount Completed”
    Florida DOS

    What kind of unmitigated horseshit is that, huh ?

    This backs up post # 2.

    If Cheney/Rove will orchestrate voting issue fraud via the DOJ, why would they not orchestrate “war on terror” fraud via the DOJ?

    Remember WMDgate, Plamegate, and USAttorneyGate.

    I was listening to a story about the JFK Terrorism Arrest and heard that one of the “terrorists” was a former employee of Evergreen Aviation in Oregon.

    Just google “evergreen aviation” +CIA and you’ll get 1,000 plus references to the fact that it is most likely a CIA front.

    Is it that easy to work for a CIA front company that a potential terrorist can end up working there? I would think that is LESS likely than the fact that this person was acting as a provocataur, plant, or managing a false-flag project.

    Or, that the whole dumb thing was just a fake news story to take our minds off the lies, corruption, and genuine evil of this Rethuglican administration.
