www.buzzflash.com/contributors/04/05/con04234.htmlIf The Votes Had Been Counted Correctly in 2000 A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION by Mike Curtis Just imagine, if the votes had been counted correctly.... Nick Berg would be alive Michael Moore would be making documentaries about Greenpeace efforts, corporate logging, or mad cow disease. His mantle would be missing a Palme D'Or and he would be a happier man. No one would know Valerie Plame worked for the CIA Colin Powell would leave a legacy of honor The most truthful news program would not be Comedy Central's THE DAILY SHOW "Patriot Act" would refer to someone dressed as Uncle Sam at a July 4th celebration People would not be choosing between gas and groceries The national deficit would be a fiction The soldiers in Guantanamo would be planning for the next exercise instead of checking on prisoners Camera phones in Iraq and Afghanistan would only be sending home pictures of missed family members Over 800 US soldiers who have died in Iraq would be alive now, working at home and strengthening the economy. Widowers and widows would have their loved ones, children would have their parents Over 6000 Iraq natives would be alive and imagine most of all....just maybe.... September 10th, several terrorists would be taken into custody, and today there would be two towers standing in New York City. Just imagine..... Mike Curtis Greenbrier Ark

Just to imagine what this country would be like - but remember there is a Republican controlled Congress and Senate - but would it have been?

Good question...perhaps it would not have been. Its very sad, the state of the world now. Its a dangerous thing to have the wrong man in power who is led by those who do not have the people's interest at heart. Lets hope for a dem sweep in November.
