I have no idea why you're laughing. You make a claim that its indisputable that Bush didn't win the election. I point out that at least some research shows that he won Florida - which at the very least means that some evidence disputes your claim.
Now you seem to be admiting he won the electoral college - ie he won the election.
Whether or not he got more of the popular vote is irrelevant. Liberals cannot change the system from an electoral college to popular vote, just because it didn't get the result they wanted.
Matadore made the argument that "bush was twice the elected leader of the U.S." (or some such thing, honestly i don't want to go back and look for the actual quote). he made that argument in an attempt to point out that we chose him to be our leader, but the truth is that we didn't we chose Gore. I don't particularly want to dispute whether or not Gore won Florida (we'll probably never know).
I've put in bold your comments that it was undisputable that he didn't win the first one. I disputed it. You are now backing down and saying well he didn't get more votes.
Excuse me if I'm confused what your argument is as you seem unsure of it yourself.
BTW, I couldn't help noticing that some of those quotes are actually from Dan Quayle.
