THat should help filter the gene pool abit. Although it doesn't seem to work in Texas Unfortuately we here in California dont use it enough to get a good start on gene pool cleansing.

The attempt to count them as required by law was stopped by those not intellegent enough to realize that it was a valid vote - and those folks live in Texas and Washington. Really? Then those 8 recounts by the Dems and their sycophants all were wrong when they came up with the same tallys? Odd...

Well , hurricanes are one reason but Florida has a host of others to stay away: 1. Cockroaches ......LOTS OF EM ( also known as "palmetto bugs" in order to water down the icky factor, don't be fooled though, they are just larger roaches......that fly........very well) and a plethora of other pests that you WILL come into contact with on a personal level whether you want to or not..........this includes scorpions and brown recluse spiders btw, both poisonous. 2. Staggering humidity ( well not all of florida but anything south of the tropical line is brutal) 3. Job market isn't so great. 4. There ain't no mountains, not a one!. There has basically GOT to be something wrong with that. In fact , the highest point in the state is only a measely *345* feet high!. 5. Swamps........hell most of the state is a swamp. 6. Highest percentage of over 80 year olds behind the wheel of a car.......THAT can't be a good thing. 7. Alot of white trash, yeah I know that can be found in alot of states. Just seems worse in Florida for some reason though. 8. Basically Florida has one or 2 seasons, depending on where you live in the state. For a 4 season kinda guy like me , not a good thing. 9. Alligators coming into contact with people in or near their homes, killing or maiming them and/or their pets. It's not a good thing. Been happening more frequently too. 10. FLORIDIANS ARE VOTING-MACHINE CHALLENGED. In case any of you are wondering, yeah I spent a couple of years in that awful state. Enjoy the remainder of your evening.

Someone back me up, because I'm not sure if he's the only one to do so. The popular vote means dick in the grand scheme of things, as the Founders intended. One should also note that Dubya was reelected to an unprecedented second term in Texas as a Republican governor. He resigned that post to run for President. Seems that the Texans liked him. Even the Democratic ones as he got 66+% of the vote. Now about Ann Richards...chuckle....
