I worked on the Bush campaign in 2000 and was chief strategist in 2004. Not counting all the votes in Florida in 2000 was a grave injustice and caused many to question the legitimacy of Bush election. Let us not repeat that injustice in FL and AZ this year. Count all the votes.

Why does this even have to be said?
Did Dowd feel the same then? Or was he okay with it till bush’s “legitimacy” was questioned?
OMG
FUCK YOU IN THE BIGGEST ALL CAPS OF ALL TIME Matt Dowd
Imagine the alternate universe where you fucking pieces of shit actually wanted to count the votes in FLA in 2000:
somebody in a position of power who would actually do something constructive towards rectifying human impact on climate
the president actually gave a shit about a PDB that had a headline “Bin Laden determined to strike…”
no DICK Cheney VP, the US didn’t torture, no Shock and Awe
tRUmp would fill the role he was born for, has been reality star and pretend billionaire con artist, we coulda had Ivanka University by now
fuck you Matt Dowd and every complicit piece of shit that worked with you, you all created this
I don’t know, but here are two comments at the top that are worth a look:
Other people lament the Bush installation and wonder how much different the world would be if Gore had won. Of course no Iraq War and the chaos and death it created in the Middle East and here.
People sometimes learn. When it does happen, it’s not a bad thing.
It’s obviously not going to convince Scott, or Kemp, or Trump. They all understand the point well enough but they just don’t give a damn about it.
So will Dowd’s statement make any difference? I have no idea but I’m glad to see it regardless.
