Up until that day, I still recognized America. Afterwards, what I viewed was an America handed over to a man who cares nothing of our shared destiny. A man who would go onto say of the United States Constitution which is a sacred document to me and others that it is nothing more than a ?God damn piece of paper? No, President Bush you are as worthless as you chose to describe our United States Constitution. You, Sir are garbage in my eyes.

Personally, I can say December 12th, 2000 was one of the saddest days in my life. The spinning by mainstream media has made America dizzy and we need to take political coverage away from the spinners. As long as mainstream media is allowed to continue to distort everything they say, we are not going to recover. 'Nothing to see here, move along' should not be acceptable. Americans need to open their eyes before it is too late! Mainstream media has done as much damage as the Supreme Court, they have been enablers to this administration.

    • It was hearbreaking then! It is hearbreaking today! The degree of change in America due to 9 individuals is phenominal! Not change for the good I might add. I never really felt shame for America before George W. Now so many of our representatives make me feel shame. Congress has the power to stop things in their tracks and stand up for the Constitution, they aren't. By going along, to get along, they are guilty by association or complicity. They took oaths to defend the Constitution, I don't think it included being able to pick and choose what they 'feel?' is a crime. It's in writing, all they have to do is read it, it's the Constitution.

    • Agreed!

      I am a pre-December 12th, 2000 American also. The Supreme Court never should have over-ridden the will of the people. A full recount, and if not, a new election should have been done.

      Isn't the will of the people important enough that we could have left Clinton in Office another month until we had a new paper election? Wouldn't the American people happily paid for a second election with paper ballots had they been asked in the light of possible election tampering?
