Gore heavily criticizes Bush's policies

[sMiLeYz]

Coming from the man who everyone knows really won election 2000.

Gore centered his stinging and often tongue-in-cheek remarks around the false impressions the Bush Administration employed while pursuing their political objectives. Early in the speech, Gore recalled widespread misconceptions that were used to build support for toppling the Iraqi government, such as Saddam's connection to the 9/11 attacks and Al Qaeda and the threat of weapons of mass destruction ending up in the hands of terrorists. "When you put it all together," Gore said, "it was just one mistaken impression after another." He added that Congress and the news media exacerbated the problem by failing to hold the Administration accountable to the American people.

Gore said the President's "ideologically narrow agenda had seriously divided America," while accusing Bush's most ardent supporters of launching a kind of "civil cold war" against dissenters. To loud applause, Gore called on Bush to "rein in" Ashcroft and Rumsfeld, vigorously uphold civil liberties and scrap the Pentagon's proposed "Total Information Awareness" program, which he compared to something out of George Orwell's 1984. Despite the questionable information Bush receives from his advisors, Gore concluded that the real cause of policy obfuscations "may be the President himself."

Provocatively, Gore cited Nobel Prize winning economist George Akerlof in the German newspaper Der Spiegel: "This is the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history."

Gore Moves On

What do you expect him to say? That he invented the internet?

But did he really say it that he 'invented' the internet? Not that you would be concerned with the truth, but I'd thought I'd point it out to you anyway.

And Gore is an idiot.

Gore is just staying true to form. What else would you expect from a LOSER.

Gore = Loser

could have won if he had run less of a BS campaign. When he's not running he makes some sense when he speeks.

Gore did win. The Supreme Coup stopped the election.

 

[Macro2]

Gore just wasn't allowed to steal it.

Maybe we could get a Gore / Clinton candidacy. And I do mean Hillary.

You steal an election by stopping the vote count. Bush via the Supreme Coup stopped the count, not Gore.
We know that Gore got the most votes, so the counting had to be stopped. You can't steal an election by counting votes. You either have the most or you don't. He did have the most. That was proved.

Sore/Loserman 2004!

Anyone who thinks that gore "really" won the election needs to take their dumbass back to government class.

Next thing you know, you'll be saying that people elect the president (when in fact the Electoral College does)!

 

[JellyBaby]

In order for Gore to have won FLA the ballot counting standards had to be changed. If you change them for FLA but not retroactively in the other states, how is that fair? Also, Gore's gestapo tried to prevent military absentee ballots from being counted. Gore was in no way an innocent victim.

As for him criticing Bush now...where was he earlier (pre-invastion and pre TIA/Patriot ACT)???

Nationally?
I recall something called the electoral college.
Also all of Californias absentee ballots were never counted.

Gore couldn't even take his own state.

Hehe, I'm surrounded by morons again. The long and the short of it is that Bush was awarded Florida's electoral vote by default because the Supreme Coup stopped the vote count and didn't do what is supposed to happen in an election, count all the legal votes state wide. That was done later by a newspaper consortium which showed that gore got the most legal votes state wide, but published a bunch of horse sh!t claiming Bush won this way and that way and every kind of way but the total state wide vote which Gore won. Gore won the Florida election but the election was stolen by 5 swines on the Supreme Coup who substituted their judgment for the will of the people of Florida. They selected the person who lost the election and the worst President in history.

It seems there's a number of revisionist historians in this thread.

as much as i agree with you...

i'll feel sorry for you when a few choice idiots crawl out of bush's ass and give you a taste of their mind (which isn't much, hehe).

one question comes to mind tho... why isn't he being impeached? i don't think our economy can handle so many republicans in power much longer.

funny because as i recall just about every institution that continued to count votes stated that bush received more votes. what i didnt like was how Gore went on national TV and stated 'I just want all the votes to be counted' when behind the scenes he tried to throw out military votes and wanted absurd standards for what constitutes a vote in democratic counties (can you say hanging chad?) while having the strictest of standards in republican strongholds. not to mention there were already like 5 recounts by the time the US Supreme Court ended the madness and finally decided to UPHOLD THE LAW, which the Florida Supreme Court had no interest in. Not only did Gore lose but he lost all credibility in many peoples' eyes.
