Gore, Democrats Continue Coup Attempt

We predicted Gore and his party’s leadership would do whatever steps were necessary to steal this election.

So far the facts have proven this to be true. The Florida Supreme Court ruling Friday demonstrates just how bold Gore’s extreme supporters can be.

One must remember that the present crisis that confronts us did not take place in a vacuum.

During the past eight years, the Clinton-Gore administration viewed our cherished Constitution as nothing better than a paper place mat at a greasy spoon diner.

With the complicity of the media and the acquiescence of many Republicans, Clinton-Gore got away with everything and anything: Waco, Vince Foster, Travelgate, IRS witch-hunts, Chinagate (the giveaway of America’s nuclear secrets to China for campaign cash). All of these scandals seemed to culminate in the president’s impeachment.

Yes, the Lewinsky matter was the least important of all the scandals, and yes, Clinton committed felonies in that brouhaha. But the Lewinsky case demonstrated that even with evidence staring the country in the face, Clinton-Gore could do as they pleased.

When congressmen were openly blackmailed (remember Larry Flynt’s ads), some of us wondered what else this gang would try.

We now know that they believe they can steal a presidential election in broad daylight.

During the impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate, many Democratic and Republican senators – Byrd of West Virginia and Specter of Pennsylvania come to mind – admitted that Clinton committed a felony by perjuring himself. Still, they opted to ignore the law.

So today it should have come as no surprise that the partisan and activist Florida Supreme Court voted to help Al Gore overturn the results.

No matter that the U.S. Supreme Court just repudiated this court for attempting to rewrite the state law of Florida.

Even the Florida chief justice, Charles Wells, admitted in a dissenting opinion today that the court was not only ignoring the U.S. Supreme Court action, but was ignoring its own illegal deadline it had set.

As Wells wrote, it was simply "plain error" for the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court, because counties had not met "the deadline set by this Court that recounts be completed and certified by November 26, 2000."

Wells continued, "I conclude that this not only changes a rule after November 7, 2000, but it also changes a rule this Court made on November 26, 2000. As I stated at the outset, I conclude that this contest simply must end."

The media plays this as nothing more than a "he said, she said" story to try to obfuscate the fact that the Democrats are attempting, as the Wall Street Journal described it, a bloodless "coup d’etat."

The Democrats have been emboldened and have little to lose.

If Bush wins the presidency, the Democrats will, for the first time in 70 years, have no control over either the Congress or presidency.

While Gore fights for the Oval Office, it is also clear that the Democratic leadership backs him for two reasons.

First, they truly believe Gore may be able to steal the presidency.

Second, even if they don’t win the presidency, they are seeking to undermine Bush’s standing and thereby weaken his ability to govern.

The Democrats believe that creating this rancor will help energize their base and make it possible for them to recapture the House and Senate in 2002.

For the moment, the Gore people still believe they can capture the presidency. As they try to do this, watch for the following in the next few days:

• Major media spin will be unrelenting, suggesting that Bush’s "win" is still open to question.

• Expect tremendous media pressure on Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the Florida State Legislature not to certify Bush’s electors.

• Gore backers lost today in Seminole and Martin counties. They are appealing to the Florida Supreme Court. The court could easily reverse these decisions to help Gore.

• Bob Beckel, a Democratic operative, has made no bones about his desire to tamper with the Electoral College. Expect underhanded efforts to get Republican electors to switch or abstain.

Bush is still ahead, largely because the Republican base has been energized like never before. By going to the streets, Bush’s team has helped to sway public opinion. These efforts must continue.
