What's funny is when Gore was asked by a journalist why he kept breaking the rules of the debate, he respond "I have to, I have to fight for the people".

From what little (very very little) I've seen of the debates, Bush is an idiot, and Gore is an idiot. Bush is just kinda dumb, and Gore doesn't know how to answer a question. It doesn't matter what the question is, Bush just gets a dumbfounded look and Gore can't just answer the damn question. He always seems to go into a huge tirade that has nothing to do with the original question.
This is the sorriest excuse I've seen for an election for as long as I can remember.

Al Gore Proposes $2.9 Trillion in Spending -- 3 Times More Spending Than Bill Clinton! Gore?s Spending Promises Run 32% Over The Budget Surplus. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the non-Social Security surplus over the next 10 years will be nearly $2.2 trillion. According to a recent estimate by the National Taxpayers Union, Gore?s budget proposals will cost $2.9 trillion creating a deficit of $700 billion. (?How Presidential Candidates Proposed Spending Has Progressed,? National Taxpayers Union Foundation, September 26, 2000; ?The Budget and Economic Outlook: An Update,? Congressional Budget Office, July 2000)
Gore?s Spending Spree Could ?All Too Easily Lead To A Return Of Deficits.?
?Mr. Gore?s initiatives are of a kind that could all too easily lead to a return of deficits if the budget surpluses don?t materialize as planned. He makes more proposals than Mr. Bush for entitlements -- programs that continue without annual appropriations. . . . He would increase government spending substantially more than Mr. Bush, would cut taxes less, and would aim more of his tax cuts to specific taxpayer behavior.?
(Bruce Bartlett, ?The Cost of Keeping Gore?s Promises,? The New York Times, August 22, 2000)
Al?s ?Goregantuan? Spending Is Like Nothing Since The LBJ Years. ??These are very, very, very large spending increases. The vice president really has proposed a dramatic expansion in the role and cost of the federal government,? said Carol Cox Wait, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. ?There?s really nothing like it until you go back to the spending programs of LBJ?s Great Society social-welfare spending.?? (Don Lambro, ?Federal Role Big In Gore Proposal; Spending Increase Largest Since LBJ,? The Washington Times, September 20, 2000)
Gore Still Doesn?t Have Enough Money To Pay For All His Promises. ?[E]ven though projections of the federal budget surplus have soared, Mr. Gore still doesn?t have enough money to pay for all his campaign promises. So he?s adopted something of a now-you-see-it, now-you-don?t campaign style.? (Bob Davis and John D. McKinnon, ?Basics of Campaign Math: Promise High, Budget Low,? The Wall Street Journal, August 31, 2000)

It is obvious when a gullible lemming spews agenda driven facts. I live in Texas and the facts are misleading at best and downright lies at worst. But then for anyone who supports Gore...who cares about honesty, accuracy or character. The fact that Gore was picked by Clinton is enough for an educated person to know he is not of integrity.

I agree with Red, it's a pleasure to read a well thought out,coherent, nicely laid out post.
Nice job Pidge.

you can't accuse gore of not putting all those things he is proposing right now of doing them in the last 8 years. In order for gore to get what he wants, he must make the house of representitives and then senate to pass his bills first, and the reason that wasn't done in the last years is because of a war between republicans and democrats. I believe the real problem is with the republicans, in fact they closed the government about 5 years ago by just leaving the senate and house of representitives, causing the democrats to be the only ones working, but since there lacked enough people, the government was in essence shut down, and this was the republicans fault. I believe that Gore's propositions are going to be hard to pass, currently all of congress is being controlled by a majority republicans, and they will kill all of Gore's bills before they can even get off the ground. Gore will only be able to accomplish his goals if the democrats win a majority in congress. This also works the other way around, if democrats win majority in congress, they may try to kill Bush's bills, but in the end, it comes down to who's ideas are better, which party is actually more honest, and who is fighting for the american people, and that tends to be most of the time, democrats
Young people tend to go against "conventional" thinking I suppose. I've been exposed to so much leftist propaganda here in Berkeley that I guess I kind of naturally took the extreme opposite stance.

Red Dawn IS a LIBERAL!!!! LOL!!!!

I think he's insane. When I first came here, this is what he posted in every political thread:
"There's nothing here that hasn't been posted before."
Why he's so post happy now is beyond me. Bush Jr. must have wronged him somethin' fierce. Or maybe he's a Clinton War Room solider. He could even be a covert agent for a secret up-and-coming third-party that seeks to prove all existing parties suck so much tot that you'll welcome this new party when they materialize.

Red, looks like you took Winston's advice.
<< Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. -- Winston Churchill >>
Does everyone else get the feeling that Red is really really disapointed that McCain did not get the nomination?

Red,
Tominator's OK. A bit too conservative for my tastes but overall I believe I like him. Dull? Probably no more than I.
As long as you admit politics is mostly entertainment for you, I have no problem with your neffing! Tell you one thing, though: had I found AT and your posting when I was in college (and still idealistic), I'd have ripped the crap out of ya. Back then I didn't understand the "game" component of politics. Eventually the newbies (and oldbies!) will learn you mix truth and BS quite often and usually the dish is hard to digest.
