Wordiezett So much average

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

one1319 To keep the U.S. a democracy, with fair elections, you must see this and show it to friends. It's rather shocking to see how easy it is for people in power to upstage the public's right to elect their leaders. Unprecedented details the events of the 2000 election from beginning to end. It puts the events in perspective so that you will see all of what actually occurred; all the "out of public view" maneuvering that did not get covered by the press. I was shocked and saddened to see what has become of our voting system, and the ability of a very few, carefully-placed, powerful actors to control and even change election outcomes. Film also highlights the difficulties in having Presidential Campaign Managers be the County Registrar of Voters. The film becomes an adult civics lesson, important to everyone who cares about democracy.

T.S. Hunter I just want to say a couple of things and then I will shut up. Watching this film convinced me specifically of only a few things. And one of those things is that the Political Institutions of the Republican and Democratic Parties are totally corrupt and insane. Furthermore, it is my belief, especially after watching this film, you would have to literally be crazy to vote either Democratic or Republican, because this film made it clear that either party was only concerned about doing what they needed to win the 2000 election, or any election for that matter--NOT WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PEOPLE OR THE COUNTRY. I could go into detail about this, but feel it would be beating a dead horse. This is why I feel all Americans should always vote for 3rd parties and go out of their way NOT to vote Democrat OR Republican. Finally, I have been convinced that Democrats or Republicans have no business counting any votes because it is a conflict of interest on both sides for any election. Members of 3rd parties should be the only ones running election boards, & etc. because it has become obvious they are the only ones that could be trusted to be impartial if anyone at all. Lastly, completely automated (computer) voting machines are not to be trusted, as they come down to the persons who program and/or work on them. As someone who is highly knowledgeable of computers and their flaws, I have to tell you that there is no computer that cannot be hacked, no network that cannot be compromised. If you think that there is any chance an election can be fixed, computer voting centers should scare the pants off you, and automated (computer) voting should be visciously avoided and voted against by everyone who values the value of their vote. RATING: 8/10. By the way, I think having Danny Glover at the bookends of this film discredits it for anyone who has followed his political activism/extremism. I think that people on both sides of the fence, and those sitting on it, should watch films like these and Danny Glover alienates many potential watchers of this film. That's all from me for now.

sjw12180 Regardless of your political affiliation, regardless of your cynicism, regardless of your like or dislike of the Bush family--in general or in specific, regardless of all that, this DVD is still an important piece of information.Take just the proven facts contained in this DVD, and that should be enough to make most intelligent people appalled at what happened. Case in point: there's a scene where they have news footage (news footage, not film-crew footage) showing the place where a recount was being conducted. Outside of the doors of that room were a dozen or so Republican Senate and/or Congressional staff members. These people were flown from Washington, DC, to Florida, specifically to disrupt the recount process. These were not angry Floridian voters, or Floridians at all; they were employees of Republican politicians in Washington, DC, sent to Florida for the sole purpose of disrupting the recount, and making it seem as if that were the will of the voters of Florida. Why do you suppose that is? Why do you suppose a lot of them had smirks on their faces as they feigned "outrage?" And that's just *one* FACT that, to me, is appalling.And to the dittohead who believes the racism behind the voter purge prior to the 2000 election was overblown, or a non-factor, you are sadly mistaken... Most likely, you're blinded by your personal feelings rather than opening your eyes, ears, and mind to receiving FACTS. No, I'm not a Democrat, nor am I Republican (although that's how I am enrolled). Nor could my views be defined as Liberal, or Conservative, for that matter. My views are based on my beliefs, coupled with the facts, and I abhor partisan politics. I am an informed voter, period, and I simply refuse to "drink the Kool-Aid" with the rest of you.

rsaunders This film should be part of the required curriculum for all high school civics and college level social science courses. It should air continuously on non-cable television. It should inspire the American people to challenge the legitimacy of the current Bush administrations (in Florida as well as in Washington). The charges are bold. The evidence is compelling. As film making goes, it's a bit uneven. Most importantly, though, the film does not get in the way of the story it tells. And what a story it is.
