    Al Gore is simply kicking ass:



    And taking names:

    Al Gore would have been a great president. We wouldn't be Iraq, we wouldn't have responded to New Orleans by chopping wood, we wouldn't have a $8 trillion budget defecit, ..... He won the election. Got the popular vote, aand yet we get "W". God has a sense of humor.

    Yeah, I wish he was 1/10th as likeable back then as he is now. Hell, I used to whine about Clinton too. The things I thought were serious problems now seem so trivial.

    Yeah I haven't looked at Gore in depth besides a few issues which I agreed with him on, but the guy right now he's on fire. I really hope he runs and it seems I'm not the only one. And I'm an Independent (not a Democrat).

    To have him run would be really interesting. I, for one, would definitely vote for him.

    Gore is a good guy in person. Americans just are so swayed by nonsense - in his case, the issues surrounding Clinton's misdeads, that they punished Gore for it. That's life. Americans deserved w.

    I would really enjoy the next 15,000 variants of Gore inventing the internet that we would have pressed upon us.

    What was that the Bible said about those without guilt throwing the first stone? There's certainly a lot of people who can criticize the bush administration (I'm intentionally not capitalizing that anymore) about things like the NSA spying incident, but anyone of the higher ups in the Clinton Administration who participated in the very same activities in one form or another is not one of them. That is truly the pot calling the kettle black.

    No it is not. Spend a little time comparing the two administrations and you will see it is not.

    Anyway, its those without sin. If you are talking about guilt, I would say any Democratic administration has more guilt, and any Republican more sin. At least the recent ones.

    Are you really starting up that endless FISA debate again?

    I suppose you're right, this administration is actually being proactive about addressing the terrorist issue, the other was not.

    But the problem is that the Bush administration was proactive in trying to solve the terrorist shortage, and I kind of wish they weren't.

    Especially since Gore couldn't even win his home state.

    Depends on who counted. Unfortunately Bush v. Gore stopped the official recount.

    Doesn't really matter anyway because Bush was re-elected

    There were several independent counts conducted later sponsored by various news outlets. A few had Bush still winning....one or two had Gore winning.

    But as other have said.....it matters not, at this point in time.

    Did I miss the part where what Gore is saying is not true, simply because he is the one saying it?

    The GOP made all these promises about "cleaning up Washington" and "bringing ethics back to government", yet in the ten years they've had the majority, they've managed to fvck things up even more than the Democrats dared to dream.

    Link, please.

    McLellan tried to make this link, but the AP pointed out that Scott was being unusually bald in his lying when he did that.

    Yes. IIRC, under the issues that were adjudicated, each won under different scenarios. But the Gore people were just suing about undervotes. Overvotes would have given Gore a (relatively) comfortable margin of victory. Alot of spoiled ballots had people marking in two different ways that they were voting for Gore. They were all thrown out.

    Tennessee's 11 electoral votes would have put Gore at 271 and thereby made him the next president of the United States..Florida would not matter..
