Who Demanded a Recount?HBO's pointless film about the 2000 election.

I think this belongs here more than in the arts. I saw a review of this on PBS last night and they were saying it was the best movie . That everyone should get emmies and that it was fair and balanced though it made the republicans look better than they were lol.

Enough of these hollywood lies.

Who Demanded a Thread? Rush Limbaugh's pointless thread about a pointless film.

[Senno]

I haven't seen the movie. I wonder how they deal with Gore thinking a recount would be fairly done in 4 counties as opposed to recounting the whole state?

They probably gloss that right over.

The Supreme Courts decision to stop the recount was right. The Democrats just can't accept it, since it presents them with an "issue" to exploit before the masses.

Yep in the end all Gore had to do was demand a full recount and end of story and by after election recounts it is the only manner in which he would have won. It what happens when you try and stack the deck in your favor and fail.

[Rush Limbaugh]

And no matter how you slice it Bush would have won. This is being released during an election year. Its no coincidence. There just trying to put another nail in the reps coffin.

Hehe yeah wouldnt surprise me an attempt of oooh watch out they dont try it again *shakes fist in an angry liberal sort of way*. Its not like releasing movies with political agenda is something new to the "left wing". I mean hell Stone is trying his damnest to insure his Bush biopic makes out before November. Evidently there is a pressing demand by the movie going population to see movie about the life of the man still in office and still alive. I suggest Stone get going on an Obama or Mccain picture the day after the election. That said I dont think the movie will be that bad judging by reviews and stuff of it...it appears to be more middle ground then one would suspect.

Which they are perfectly allowed to do.

[Rush Limbaugh]

But to say its fair and balanced from what Im hearing is a joke. Its a lot of made up stuff as well.

I like your explanation; previously I thought the decision was dodgy because of the conservative court but you've just convinced me otherwise.

Thank you. That makes me happy that I took the time to do it.

Well stopping the recount was the right decision and remember the ruling on the Florida recount as it was being done was 7-2 decision on being unconstitutional. So stopping it clearly WAS the right decision the only question was whether ordering Florida to certify its vote due to the cut off date for election totals was the right call. We cant forget that no matter happened and how wrong you think it was the Gore camp and Florida State Court were pushing a course of action that was just AS wrong and unfair. If the recounts in those select counties were allowed and Gore did manage to win (which of course post election counts show he wouldnt have) we'd be having the opposite discussion here on whether Bush was screwed.

[Rush Limbaugh]

Rush, a lot of everything is made up in the American media. Fox, CNN, etc.

News doesn't have to be true for it to appear on TV, unfortunately

I said in another thread that the networks are making the news these days and Obama is living proof of it.

Well stopping the recount was the right decision and remember the ruling on the Florida recount as it was being done was 7-2 decision on being unconstitutional.

In fact one of the things the movie left out was that it was a rogue court and that it actually had to stopped twice. They also put words in peoples mouths that they never said . It was a democratic point of view and trying to claim anything else is silly.

Yeah people tend to forget that and harp on what they THINK the Supreme Court did wrong while forgetting the only reason they got involved was because of retarded ruling by the Florida court. Argue all you want on the Supreme Court ruling but it isnt black or white but the Florida decision was as I cant see how any rational person would think selective recount was the right call.

[JP226]

I thought the show was pretty good. Gore was looking for a few hundred votes in dem dominated spots. Which I felt the film showed accurately. I know if you are looking for something you'd find it in the movie. But from an objective point of view, bush won.

[Senno]

The democrats had that issue in 2004, and still managed to epic fail. They don't read the general public well, at all.

[Senno]

Yeah, they rely on Republics being to polite to fight back as they continue to act in such ways.

Guess what? We aren't that polite anymore. "Change" has occured.

[Каие]

No Rush they are just feeding off the current political fad to boost interest thats all.

[Daneboy]

Is it on youtube or HBO website?

It wasn´t broadcasted in europe.

[Major.Stupidity]

So Rush, I'm just curious while your lampooning the movie, have you by chance actually watched it?
