Red Dawn, the actual quote was that he helped invent the internet, even though he really meant that he did something involved with funding research for it. Someone around here has the quote in his sig. I read this somewhere, I can't remember where, about Gore lying about things when he has no reason to lie. The recent bit about starting a program or something that was actually started by Carter 2 years before Gore was in any position to have any say in the matter. I wish I could remember exactly what the deal was about, but I imagine someone here in the forum will elaborate.
<< New questions about the vice president's credibility were raised this week when the Boston Globe looked behind the figures Gore used to illustrate the cost of prescription drugs. The vice president said in Tallahassee, Fla., that the cost of supplying his dog with a monthly dose of an arthritis drug was $37.80, and the cost for the same drug each month for his mother-in-law was $108. The paper found that the vice president's campaign had taken the figures not from Gore family medical bills but from a study for House Democrats. And even those numbers were misused because they represented wholesale and not retail costs. >>
<< "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." >>
I'll give you this, I wouldn't really call it lying so much as exaggeration. The problem, and this is a quote from an article at CNN, is that he tends to use exact figures in his exaggerations. That kind of makes them sound like outright lies.
Me, I'm voting for Bush. I just don't like Liebermann(censorship).
