Al Gore's Fishing Stories
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Like George Will said: "It's one thing to go fishing,
catch an 18" fish and tell everyone it was 20". That's
exaggerating." But if you tell everyone you caught a
20" fish and didn't go fishing, that's something else.
That's what Gore does."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Does America need another pathological liar for
President? These are statements by Al Gore that
have been proven false.

FICTION: Al Gore recently claimed that his
mother-in-law pays more than $100.00 for the arthritis
medicine Lodine; and he claims that his dog takes the
same medicine for $37.00, claiming "This is wrong!"

FACT: Gore's aides were quick to apologize for Gore's
lie, saying the information was from a Democratic
study. Washington newspapers also reported that Al
Gore wasn't even sure his mother-in-law was taking
any medication and wasn't even sure she had arthritis.
And, he doesn't know anything about his dog's
"arthritis".


FICTION: Al Gore said his father, a senator, was a
champion of civil rights during the 1960's.

FACT: Gore's father voted against the landmark Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and was a racist who was fond of
using the "N" word. The Gore family had an African
American nanny who they made wait in the car while
they ate at "Whites Only" Restaurants.


FICTION: Al Gore said that his sister was the very
first person to join the Peace Corps.

FACT: By the time Gore's sister joined the Peace
Corps, there were already over 100 members.


FICTION: The same sister died of lung cancer years
later and Gore vowed to never accept tobacco money as
campaign contributions.

FACT: Just four years later, while campaigning for
office, Gore spoke to the tobacco industry in
Greenville North Carolina and said he was one of
them because "I've planted it, raised it, cut it, and
dried it." He raised over $100,000 in "reported"
contributions. His Sister died in 1984. He did not
stop accepting campaign funding from Tobacco Company's
until 1996.


FICTION: While running for office, Gore's campaign
literature claimed he was a "Brilliant Student".

FACT: Washington newspapers said he barely passed
Harvard and consistently earned D's and C's.


FICTION: Gore claims an extensive knowledge of law as
a result of his extensive study at law school.

FACT: Al Gore dropped out of law school.


FICTION: Gore claimed that his knowledge of God and
spirituality came to complete fruition while
"finishing" divinity school.

FACT: Al Gore dropped out of divinity school.


FICTION: Al Gore claimed responsibility for inventing
the Internet in the 1980's.

FACT : Shocked scientists were quick to speak out,
explaining that the Internet had been in widespread
use by government and educational institutions since
the early 1970's.


FICTION: Al Gore claimed the book "Love Story" was
based on his life and Tipper's.

FACT: Author Erich Segal called a press conference to
deny his claim. (Couldn't he at least lie about a love
story where his sweetheart doesn't die?)


FICTION : Gore claimed that as a reporter for a
Nashville newspaper, his stories led to the arrests of
numerous corrupt criminals.

FACT: He later apologized for his claim and actually
said it was untrue (Also known as lying).


FICTION: Gore claims to increase diversity in the
staff that follows him daily, especially among blacks.

FACT: Black members of the Secret Service are suing
because they claim they are not being promoted to
positions guarding the Vice-President.


FICTION: Al Gore said he was the first to discover the
Love Canal nuclear accident.

FACT: The incident was already discovered, being
investigated, and covered widely in the press for many
months before Gore was aware of it.


FICTION: Gore said just recently that if elected
president, he would put harsh sanctions on the sleazy
producers of Hollywood's extreme sex and violence.

FACT: Just six days later, Gore attended a fundraiser
by Hollywood producers and radical gay activists where
he told them that he would only pretend to "nudge
them" if elected. He raised over $4 million.


FICTION: Al Gore said he built his Tennessee home with
his bare hands.

FACT: Totally false!


FICTION: Al Gore says parents should not have a choice
between private and public schools because public
schools are far better.

FACT: Al Gore attended private school and he has sent
his children to private schools.


FICTION: Al Gore remembers his mother lulling him to
sleep as a baby by singing the popular ditty, "Wear
The Union Label".

FACT: The popular ditty was created by the unions when
Gore was 27 years old.

McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Act.

FACT: The Act was not sponsored until he had been out
of office for over a year.

the tax on gasoline. In his book "Earth In The
Balance" Gore claims that the nation's Number One
enemy is the internal combustion engine.


FICTION: Gore pretends to champion the rights of poor
women to be tested regularly for breast cancer with
the most modern technology.

FACT: While giving a speech on the subject in
September, Gore didn't know what a mammogram was.


FICTION: AL Gore promised Florida's senior citizens
that they would finally have low-cost drugs with no
interference from government.

FACT: Gore's plan calls for the creation of a huge
federal agency that would tell you which doctor you
are allowed to see in order to get the "special
rates".


FACT: Al Gore told NBC's Lisa Meyers that he had never
told a lie. When Meyers pressed harder, "You've never
told a lie?!" Gore said, "Not that I know of."


Does any of this sound familar?

Being Canadian, I (obviously) haven't paid much attention to the debate's, but looking at this, how the hell is this guy ever gonna win an election?
 


<< FICTION: Gore claimed that his knowledge of God and
spirituality came to complete fruition while

Technically he didn't lie there...he might've learned something about god there, and dropping out of school can be considered &quot;finishing&quot; it.
 
Where am I spouting party rhetoric?

For the millionth time, I don't think Bush is a good candidate, but one of these two men will be elected President and I'd rather have it be the one who's integrity is not seriously in question.

BTW, if this really has little credibility then perhaps you can explain why?
 
BTW, if this really has little credibility then perhaps you can explain why? Well first of all the list has all the allegations and the so-called reality but tell me, where are the sources?

What's good for the goose..,

Where are your sources Red?, you make numerous allegations but have absolutely no proof at all.

I'm sure you would not ask someone to do something you won't, so c'mon drop us a credible source if you can.
 
I don't care about those administrations, that's not the issue.

Why do you keep bringing up the Elian case, what does that have to do with anything?
 
Red, I don't want to get into a pissing war with you 🙂, but I'd like to clarify one thing. While Gore meant that he was part of getting funding or something for the internet, he is actually quoted as saying that he was instrumental in creating the internet. Like I've said before, there is a member with the actual quote as his sig. He said it in an interview with Wolf Blitzer(?) I believe. If Wolf Blitzer had known, he probably would have said something about it in the interview.
 
Well, you see Red, I think Gore is a woodenheaded, lying, socialist liberal whose polices will destroy the United States. He seems to blame business for all the problems of the US while promising new entitlement programs. I believe his polices will put companies out of business, erode the tax base just when his new give-away programs get going. This will throw the country into an economic tailspin that will let us all see what the Great Depression of the 30s was really like. Gore's call for campaign finace reform after his history of dipping into every till in the land is duplicitous at best.

I think I understand what Gov. Bush is talking about when he says nation building. It's the process of the United States going into another country and telling them how to live. That makes me uncomfortable. I get nervous when I hear Gore talking about the United States getting into the business of taking out the leadership of other countries. Granted some of them may need it and even deserve it, but that is an awfully dangerous role for the US to start undertaking.

I also understand the concept of sound science. If you can find consensus of the cause of global warming let me know. I do know the earth went through ice ages and warming periods for millions of years before man was around. Why does anyone think it is stable now and that we can affect it? (I really don't want this thread to get into that discussion, if you want to argue it, start your own thread)
Were you in favor of the Kyoto treaty, and do you know what it would of done to the US economy? Gore should of known both, but he was still for it.

But like Bush, I have faith in the intelligence of the American public and AT readers and don't see the need to post it in every thread. 😉
