Gore flunked out of divinity school, didn't finish law school, couldn't
identify a statue of George Washington at Monticello prior to Slick Willie's
first inauguration, and DID claim or advocate all of the above things. Real
brain trust, there.
W is the President of the United States of America.
Gore is a professor of journalism (?) at Columbia. (No wonder the press
is so fair and unbiased.) 'Nuff said.

Here's a clue for you son. The popular vote doesn't equate winning the
election. It's the electoral vote stupid!

You're not very smart are you? Gore's dad was a very popular, influential
politician. The Gore name has(d) plenty of clout.

After all this time this is the best you can come up with? The same tired

And after all this time you still don't know that the very first appropriations

in fact have Gore's signature on it?
If there are still people this woefully uninformed, it's no wonder the SCROTUS

This whole "education" thing is somewhat irrelevant. I know a Harvard and Johns

excellent physician who just got a large grant from the government to conduct
Alzheimers research. Go figure.

Typical - cannot adress the real issues at hand so you bring up something
completely irrelevant.
BTW, there's a rumor going around the internet that, during his Yale days, Bush
and some cronies gang-raped a female student and that Saddam Sr. had the story
swept under the carpet. The story says that the woman was bought off with
extremely large sums of money.
If it means keeping a lying sack of shit like Bush out of the White House then
I am all for it. And I don't live in either of those places.
"Tainted by the Clinton stench"? You might as well just say that you are
programmed by Rush Limbaugh. Are you even aware that Gore was just as
"bothered" by Clinton's escapades as most republicans?
>How about giving W a chance? As much as I disliked Clinton there were times

Bush has blown it already. He's already on the road to repealing Roe v. Wade.
He wants to bring the Church into the White House and give the Church huge
federal subsidies to help them essentially take over medicare and social
security. He has nominated a person who has spent their career doing everything
they can to help the polluters as Interior Secretary. He has nominated an
arch-conservative who would be right at home at a Salem witch trial as AG.

As far as the United States Supreme Court goes, 7 justices agreed that the
hacks on the Florida Supreme Court had come up with an unconstitutional
scheme for counting the votes. And, if you're scoring at home, the Florida
Supreme Court's record in that whole fiasco was 2-16. If the Republicans
control the Supreme Court, why hasn't Roe v. Wade been overturned. Just
because you don't like the outcome does not mean that it's wrong. I'm an

D'oh! How stupid of me to assume that popular votes elect a
president in a democracy? <sarcasm> The deal is not that W got
more electoral votes than Gore (Supreme Court and Florida took
care of that for him); it is the fact that *more* American votes
voted for Gore than Bush. What does *this* said about W's supposed
mandate as commander-in-chief?

I never said that Gore did not benefit from his dad's clout.
However, to use W's Harvard education background as a proof of his
intelligence is what irk me. This is why I brought it up (btw, you
obviously agreed that having an influential father does affect
whether one could advance in the higher education ladder).

You also conveniently ignore my point about Saddam going AWOL on TANG. Do you
really think it is worse that Gore actually went to Vietnam, but only as a
journalist (I believe he was a *photographer* - not a writer), than it is that
Saddam sat home and boozed up?

If Saddam told the truth once, it would be the first time.
"I quit drinking in 1988"
"I want to build a consensus in washington"
"I served in the Texas Air National Guard"
"I won the election"
Not a shred of truth to be seen.
Good job Rush.
Actually we don't know who really won the electoral college vote. 5
hyper-partisan justices on the supreme court decided to cut short the recounts
that Saddam "I trust people" so desparately feared.
That's the way

Yep - can't win it fair and square? Then cheat.
And, as far as the Florida vote goes, every story that

At least Gore went. Saddam's daddy got him into the Air NG and he couldn't even
be bothered to be sober enough to show up.

David Grey is also an attorney. Based on your repeated mouthing of senseless
bullshit I can tell you that I would not retain you if you were the last
attorney on earth. Beyond that, the entire matter should have never gone to
court. Florida should have been allowed to count their own ballots they way
their own laws set forth. But no - Saddam knew he would lose any fair counting
so he went to court - something he said he would *not* do (yet another lie) and
fought to have the counting stopped. You can quote margins in different courts
but the truth is it took 4 appeals to US Circuit courts (all of which but 1
failed) and 2 appeals to the SCROTUS before Saddam could be "annointed"
president.
you are pathetic... you are a stooopid christian right winged moron...
the truth doesnt matter to you... the only things that matters is what the

To an extent we do, because of the Electoral College. According to an article
in Rolling Stone (that happens to be sitting here so I can quote it) 'The
historian Alex Keyssar has noted that each South Dakota elector represents
about 232,000 people. Each New York Elector speaks for 550,000 people.'
