Answer:
I think that we lost out on a great opportunity for stand up comedians to have a field day with Mr. Gore.
Never a doubt in my mind that were lucky NOT to get Mr. Gore or Kerry for that matter.
And instead you elected the candidate with the lower number of votes and the one who has the lowest opinion ratings since Nixon and Watergate.
Well done for going against the wishes of the democratic electorate and electing for President the man that has damaged America's reputation around the world more than any other President in history.
I don't know what Gore would have done but he'd have been hard pushed to have done more to damage the US than Bush has.
Global warming lunacy is proof positive that as a civilization, we have WAY too much time on our hands. With all the problems facing this world, including REAL environmental problems, spending so much time, energy, and resources fretting about global warming, makes about as much sense as worrying about what shampoo Paris Houston used during her jail stay...
If Al Gore was president he be working on global warming more than Muslim terrorists.
Because in his world global warming is more of threat than those who pull off 9/11.
Yeah, like George Bush was so concerned with bringing the perpetrators of 9/11 to justice. He just used it as an excuse to invade another country who had nothing to do with it so that he could rob them of their oil.
Not a day goes by that I don't lament that Bush "beat" Gore in the 2000 election. Yes, having a president that actually cares about the environment would be so much worse than having a president who ignores a known terrorist threat, then after we're hit by terrorists uses the opportunity to attack another country without provocation, cuts taxes primarily on the rich while building up a record debt currently at nearly $9 trillion, constantly lies to the American public, whose administration is mired in scandal after scandal, whose approval rating is the 3rd worst in US history, and who's taken a record number of presidential vacation days.
Yeah, having a president who every so often talks about the environment would clearly be so much worse. Good call.
Dodged a bullet, no. I doubt things would be all that different today with Gore as President. President Bush has been very liberal in his domestic policy leanings (tax cuts and abortion being about the only exceptions). As far as Iraq, it is hard to predict where a President Gore would have taken us after 9/11. Gore has the benefit of hindsight now, but how would he have reacted on 9/11 and in the days after? No one knows, not even Al Gore.
As to Trevors point about electing the guy with the least votes, that is how it is done here in the US. The Presidency is not decided by majority vote, but rather by a majority of the electoral college. Check it out on wikipedia, it is an interesting and informative read.
Now we gota worry about HITLER Clinton
It would have been better than our current administration using the office as a "bully pulpit" to censor, distort, and delete the evidence of anyone pointing out that change is needed.
I agree. Global warming should be termed: Global Scamming.
If Gore had made it to the White House we would of surrendered to Iraq.
Very lucky that the people of Florida voted for Bush. Or maybe the democrats just got too confused and voted for him by mistake.
It seems that Gore lost by hanging chads
Yes, everyone would think the world was ending, and we would surrender to Iraq.
Agreed, he's a complete wingnut! I wish these idiots would get thier science right. GAD!
are you somehow sugesting the what you got is an improvement
Now i am sure you guys are on something very strong
I think he could have been better than anyof the others as far as the earth is concerned
pity he is of the wrong blood line to ever be president
Hilary is not
if she gets in we will all be dodging bullets
you guys gotta stop thinking about ruling the world
besides there wont be much left of it by the time you do
OH YES,THANK GOD,THAT MAN IS A FOOL!
