Default Some reasons not to be angry all you left wingers

Usually, the argument that the left hates Bush so much is the "stolen" election. This is taken as divine faith. So let's take a look at that issue and break down the myths.
The two site can be used as reference but I'll try to simplify:

http://www.insightmag.com/news/2004/....Establi.shtml

Now the myths:

Myth: Gore won Florida
Fact: Under any counting method used - even the most liberal which included pregnant, dimpled, and hanging chads - Bush NEVER trailed Gore in Florida. Not once, and not even for a single vote. Even the exhaustive studies done after the election by media groups failed to produce any evidence that Gore tallied more votes than Bush in Florida.

Myth: The Supreme Court "Appointed" Bush
Fact: Even the general public has come to accept the idea that Bush v. Gore was simply a 5-4 decision. Among many Democrats, the decision is seen as a coup d'etat by the conservative block of the court. In fact, the Bush v. Gore case contained two decisions, one of which ruled by a 7-2 margin against the Florida Supreme Court's ambiguous, extralegal mandate to count undervotes.

Myth: African-American Voters in Florida Were Systematically Disenfranchised
Fact: Despite the best efforts of some Democrats, including Mary Frances Berry's gratuitous grandstanding as head of the US Civil Rights Commission, not a single shred of evidence has been produced demonstrating that African-American voters were harassed, intimidated, or otherwise prevented from voting. Even the infamous "voter roll purge" that Dems cite as proof is nonsense: Berlau reports the mandate for purging felons from Florida's voting rolls "was passed into law in 1998, sponsored by two Democratic legislators and signed by Democratic governor Lawton Chiles, Jeb Bush's predecessor. The law was passed in response to the 1997 Miami mayoral election that was overturned by a court due to widespread fraud, with votes from disqualified felons and dead people."

For other myths feel free to read both articles.

There may be many reason for the left to be angry but the election should not be one of them. It is time to move on guys.
