BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA.....FLIP FLOPPER!!! what an IDIOT JACKASS!. I VOTED FOR IT BEFORE I VOTED AGAINST IT!! WHAT AN COMPLETE IDIOT!! GO LIVE IN CHINA.THEY ALLREADY HAVE WHAT YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR!! MY MONEY IS MINE!! ALL MINE!! YOU CANT HAVE NONE!! I dont work for the government!! I WORK FOR ME!! the world is better with you gone! PUT A BULLIT IN YOUR HEAD!!!
Too bad w/cheney won. Kerry opposed the needless invasion of Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of lives would not have been killed and we would not have wasted hundreds of billions of dollars.
John Kerry was not going to vote to undermine the president when the president was being directed to go the U.N. Remember, President Bush didn't even want to go to the U.N. There was a question of even going back to the U.N. to get inspectors back in. So it was a way of pushing it in the right direction, and hoping that the Bush administration would then do the right thing.
Unaware of the Downing Street Memo and the scheme to deceive, yes, he voted yes. Context is important.
When Kerry announces he conceded and congratulated Bush, you didn't hear any boos. That shows you the difference between the right and left. When McCain lost, and mentioned Obamas name, they booed. No class whatsoever. When they lose, the rulebook is thrown out the window. Scumbags...
@RavenMichaels The US would have been better served if he had. What he did in Vietnam was stab America (and the South Vietnamese) in the back by meeting with the NVA in violation of the UCMJ.
At least Benedict Arnold saved the United States (Battle of Saratoga) before he betrayed it
If John Kerry ran with Al Gore instead of Joe Lieberman we would've never had to worry about Bush and republicans would'nt have had power in congress by 2002.
If that had happened then Kerry would have gotten the blame for all the economic collapse and bank turmoil at the end of '08. And don't tell me he would have averted it. The dems had blocked all the GSL reform attempts from 2005 to 2008.

I couldn't help but notice: Major League Baseball player Rickie Weeks made his major league debut with the Milwaukee Brewers on SEP. 15, 2003. It was the same day Kalyssa Leeann WYOMIc (287-08-046-OHIO) was born; she died on the 62nd birthday of 42nd prez Bill Clinton: AUG. 19, 2008. Kerry narrowly lost the 2004 election, which came down to OHIO's 20 electoral votes. Surname WYOMIc begins like the state of WYOMIng, from whence VP Dick Cheney hailed. WYOMING evokes Mathew Shepard's 1998 death
Matthew WAYNE Shepard (520-98-0575; b. 12/01/76) was violently attacked and robbed of $20 near Laramie, Wyoming, on Oct. 7, 1998 by AARON JAMES McKinney and RUSSELL HENDERSON, who offered Shepard a ride after meeting him in a Laramie bar. Shepard died from severe head injuries at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, on OCT. 12, 1998—exactly two years before the OCT. 12, 2000 bombing of the USS Cole by AL qAIDa at aDEN, yeMEN. Unrelated: the RED CEDAR LN address; E.E. SMITH High
Considering the STONE CULT and “uncles & aunts with something to lose from your success in life” themes, you might draw a connection between the 10/12/98 death of Matthew WAYNE Shepard since his killers were AARON JAMES McKinney & RUSSELL HENDERSON. It helps to consider youth chasing impossible pro-sports dreams (common in the black community). The RED CEDAR address & E.E. Smith have Fayetteville in common, but AARON JAMES McKinney is unrelated to NFL LB AARON Curry, who graduated E.E. SMITH
Matthew WAYNE Shepard killers AARON JAMES McKinney & RUSSELL HENDERSON are unrelated to 246-62-0093, but surname HENDERSON sounds like HINDERing male offspring. U.S. Highway 158 passes through HALFAX County, NC before arriving at HENDERSON, seat of Vance County. A few miles to the north, parent route, U.S. Hwy. 58 passes through Mecklenburg Co., VA, where there is BOYdTON & Chase City. 2010: Wikipedia says Mecklenburg Co., VA treasurer is Sandra LANGford, not Tony LANG of Duke Univ. basketball

The county is also home to South HILL, where Interstate 85 junctions with U.S. 58, but unrelated to Duke Univ. basketball players GRANT HENRY HILL & Tony LANG, though I-85 winds south to durHAM, NC.

@mraindog81 LOL, the liberal tolerance in action! You can call "brainless" to million of Americans who voted for Mr. Bush, but get all upset because someone dare to question the patriotism of the millions who voted for Mr. Kerry. Double standar, anyone? Priceless...
@sfowatcher Patriotism? Hah, the 2004 election was another one of those "Vote for the lesser of two evils" elections, just like 2008 was. Before I go on, I would like to state I am a 100% Ron Paul supporter. Anyways, it's no doubt that the Democrats and Republicans are corrupt as it is, there is almost no politician in congress that knows what half of the Constitution stands for.

Compare this to John McCain's concession speech from 2008. No doubt Kerry's supporters are sad that he lost, but do they boo and hiss him when he talks about congratulating Bush and asking them to support him?

Notice the lack of boos when Kerry mentioned President Bush. Something not replicated in McCain's 2008 concession speech. Which was a great speech by the way. But McCain's supporters could have learned a lesson in humility and decency from John Kerry.

If the election was held one year later (after Katrina), there's no way Bush would have won. I still can't believe he did win. Sadly if the dems had nominated someone with more personality than 'ol horseface, they probably would have won.
Uhh, yea they did a good thing by "flushing the Johns." However, they ruined it by electing a Bush and a Dick. Kerry was a joke. Bush was a tragedy. Give me the joke any day.
If American Presidents stop pulling NATO and other country's troops all over the world on failed Democratic foreign policies then such a narrow-minded and uneducated view would make sense.
But the final election results showed that he did not lose that bad. Kerry won 252 electoral votes (18 shy from the required 270) and 59,028,444 popular votes (the largest number for a Democratic ticket in history before 2008). Pretty much a close margin in this election.
Speaking as a lifelong Democrat, but in my opinion, John Kerry could have won in 2004 if he would not have been victimized by the politics of fear and smear by Karl Rove, if the swift boat veterans would have not walked all over him, and if he would have not flip-flopped on many important issues, including the Iraq war.
Deep Bluer thought, this guy had no buisness getting the nomination. I don't understand why a party as rich as the Democratic party would even think of giving the nomination to Dukakis's Lt. Governor. Another idiot who shouldn't have gotten the nomination, and it showed in his campaign. I fully believe the DNC cut Howard Dean off at the knees for telling the truth.
DeeperBlueThought he wasnt an awful campaigner. Its just that some people were to stupid to see how bad bush was and thats why bush was elected because of dumb people who thought he could make America better
I know! Obama is horrible!!! I HATE how he started creating jobs and ended the recession. It's so unamerican!!! It was so much better when Bush was in office and we were losing 700,000/month.
I hate when middle class americans get tax cuts! Obama is a horrible person for doing that. It was so much better when Bush gave tax cuts to oil companies who destroy jobs in the wetlands with oil spills. They made only 3 billions in profit last quarter, clearly they need tax breaks.
@politicalfarce Yeah, really too bad that Obama's presidency has been a train wreck in slow motion. I didn't vote for him, but I really wanted him to do well. Unfortunately, lack of qualification and socialist attitudes have destroyed his presidency. he has probably hurt future black candidates more than he's helped them
"he has probably hurt future black candidates more than he's helped them."
Just because of Obama that does NOT mean that future black candidates will be like him. Generalizing about future black politicians just because you don't like Obama...you racist dumbass.
@smartamateur Sorry, but Ithink you misunderstood my statement. I was referring to the tendency of the electorate as a whole to judge candidates by similar previous candidates. There are many, many people of many, many races that I personally believe would make very good presidents. To believe that everyone will immediately begin to disassociate race from politics because we had one half-black president is the acme of foolishness. The next black candidate will have to deal w/ the Obama factor
"The next black candidate will have to deal w/ the Obama factor"
Not if the black candidate is also a conservative (Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, etc.) or a moderate. If the black candidate is a liberal, then maybe the Obama factor applies because Obama is obviously a liberal. Don't confuse race with political ideology.
@smartamateur Just because you and I don't confuse race w/ ideology doesn't mean no one else will. It WILL have an affect on future minority candidates. Surely you must realize that a majority of the electorate is underinformed and picks candidates based upon very superficial reasons. Can you think of anything more superficial than race? Some people, probably even a lot of people will at some level compare or even associate future minority candidates w/ Obama, because he was the first.
But if you are right and Americans do start associating minority candidates with Obama in a negative light, then that would be really sad and disturbing because that is the very essence of the American Dream.
@politicalfarce Yeah, really too bad that Obama's presidency has been a train wreck in slow motion. I didn't vote for him, but I really wanted him to do well. Unfortunately, lack of qualification and socialist attitudes have destroyed his presidency. he has probably hurt future black candidates more than he's helped them
@happycan107 NOBAMA CAMPAIGNED LIKE REAGAN, BUT HE GOVERNS LIKE CARTER! "THERE YOU GO AGAIN!" Fifty years ago JFK said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." Thirty years ago RONNIE said, "Government is not the solution to the problem. Government IS the problem. Now NOBAMA says, "Ask what the government can do for you!" NOBAMA HAS 104 WEEKS OR 728 DAYS TO GO!
The sad thing is that I have to blame Kerry himself for his loss for not defending himself against the lies. Had he done that, MAYBE he would have won and he wouldn't have gotten in a recession.
The odd thing is, though, it's common sense to know he didn't shoot himself for three medals AND KEPT SERVING HIS COUNTRY. It shows how stupid people are. Anyone who's face is on a TV screen must know it all, so don't bother using logic to see who's right.
I liked Kerry but the thing about this election that I really hated was how passive he was. He let the swift boat vets walk all over him, didnt respond to all the lies told at the RNC I dont know if it would have made a difference for him, but I would have at least felt better about the loss.
At least Obama took this election to heart and was on the offensive against Mccain/Bush literally 24/7. The repubs are vicious and dont like being out of power, there is nothing they wont do or say to win.
Compare the way Kerry handled his election defeat with the way Gore handled his. Kerry has class and clearly cares about the country. Gore, on the other hand, was bitter and petty. Even Nixon didn't contest the 1960 election, despite the fact that many urged him to do so. It's also worth noting that John Edwards, Kerry's running mate and all-around slime, tried to convince Kerry to contest the results. Edwards thought another recount debacle would help his own chances in 2008.
Yes, this is very true. Nixon, for his one mahor screw up with Watergate, did care enough about the country not to put us into a Constitutional crisis despite the fact dead people voted in Illinois, handling the election to a worse criminal than Nixon, Kennedy!
If just ONE member of the US Senate had the balls to question the results of the 2000 election fro, the state of Florida, George Bush, Karl Rove and Katherine Harris would be in jail. I realize that Al Gore has been his own worst enemy at times but he was cheated, no two ways about it. In virtually every other state in the nation, it is illegal for secretaries of state to engage in partisan politics. Is it jst a coincidence that Bush won twice and it came down to one state? Come on.
Gore was in no way cheated. And saying anyone would have gone to jail over the election is a ridiculous assertion. Florida was a mess, no doubt about it, but the Republicans AND the Democrats did plenty to swing the results their way, which is what happens in politics. And Secretaries of State are POLITICIANS - to claim they should not be involved/are not involved in politics on a local and national level is fanciful. BTW, the 2004 election came down to Ohio, not FLA.
Gore did not win. Even with the recounts that were done during the legal process,Gore did not overcome Bush's lead. The argument that FLA was somehow stolen from Gore is not true.
Sure, Gore had the right to challenge the rsults, as does any candidate.
After the Florida supreme court ruled to recount all 175 thousand unread ballots Gore was only 92 votes behind with much of the votes still uncounted. The US Supreme Court issued a stay and then ruled there was an equal protection violation but there was too little time to correct the issue. SO basically the Court issued a stay causing them to miss the recount deadline but then didn't allow the completion of the recount because they missed the deadline.
At no time did Gore have the lead but at no time was George W Bush's victory verified via recount. The Supreme court decided the election not the people. They stopped the recount and after ruling on the case Bush v Gore they did not allow the recount to be completed.
Democracy is messy and never works perfectly. This showed in FLA b/c the election was so close and b/c the networks kept screwing up the call. Even if the Supreme Court allowed the recount, the elction would not have been decided by the voters. It would have been decided by a bunch of local officials - all with their own agendas/preferences - holding up ballots to the light and guessing "voter intent." And those results would not have been (cont'd)
. . . accepted so the court challenges and recounts would have gone on and on and on. I'm not a big analogy-fan but the election was already in overtime and even though Gore was driving down the field, he ran out of time with Bush still ahead.
Gore's should look at himself in the mirror. He lost his OWN STATE of Tennessee. He lost Clinton's state of Arkansas. He lost West Virginia, a state Clinton carried twice. If Gore won ANY of those, Florida wouldn't have mattered.
I didn't think of that. I know Bush made inroads in the New England states. At this point we are splitting hairs. I think Clinton said it best when he said no one who voted in this election will ever be able to say his or her vote didn't matter.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If you weren't such a cock dog, you'd have said like all racists "state's rights" and would have been unhappy with the supreme court interceeding on the recount. But since you're a hypocrite and a cock dog, you loved putting that bitch in office to rape America as you would love to , too. Cock dogs all unite in the KKK of the USA The GOP!
greeniem, I am not a cock dog or racist nor am I American. I am Irish and have an interest in US politics. I was simply commenting that had Al Gore won NH's 4 Electoral votes in 2000 he'd have won the Presidency. It's a plain and simple fact that didn't justify your offensive rant and insulting remarks!
I agree, but the Electroral College is the process that has been in place for 220 years. It was put in place to make sure the President represents the country because a candidate only needs to carry certain big cities to win the popular vote if you look at it. Our forefathers recognized this when they wrote the Constitution.
It is conceivable a candidate can win New York City, LA, Chicago, and their suburbs and win the national popular vote. Bush still won 30+ states.
I know, but my point is that it's not really Gore's fault. He had a right to contest Florida and believe in his own mind that he'd actually won the election. The fact that he didn't win Tennessee or Arkansas is irrelevant
yeah too true my friend.....i think gore lost cuz they were turned off by the Democratic nominee by clinton's sex scandal with monica lewenski......and also, the american ppl looked at the quality of nominee of the Democratic party...they saw gore as someone who is arrogant, irrespectable, and hot-headed......and he made a lot of mistakes in his campaign.....he kept talking about the past during his convention speech at the DNC....haha! poor gore! he sucks!
@HalfBornUnicornFetus And with the tornado in St. Louis and the devastation in Arkansas, WHERE IS NOBAMA! W was criticized no end over Katrina when Louisiana's governor REFUSED FEDERAL AID! NOW NOBAMA HAS 635 DAYS TO GO!
@HalfBornUnicornFetus I'm familiar with WEest. I'm also in Florida. Daniel Wedbster is mine, and I was so glad he knocked off Alan DISGRAYSON! NOW NOBAMA HAS 633 DAYS TO GO!
God, with Bin Laden dead, Im worried about 2012 now. Rather have Obama then Osama I guess...Gonna watch the GOP debate tommorow? It has Herman Cain, Buddy Roemor, Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, and Gary Johnson, on FOX.
@HalfBornUnicornFetus He got NO BOUNCE in public opinion polls, but W did! The economy is still in shambles thanks to reckless spending, the PORKULUS PACKAGE, and NOBAMACARE legislation. Relax. NOBAMA HAS 627 DAYS TO GO!
@HalfBornUnicornFetus Now it's 89 WEEKS OR 623 DAYS TO GO! Now NOBAMA wants Arizona to stop arresting illegal immigrants entering this country! Would he like us to roll out the WELCOME MAT! I'll repeat it! NOBAMA HAS 89 WEEKS OR 623 DAYS TO GO! We need to hammer this point: "ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN WHEN NOBAMA TOOK OFFICE!"
We may disagree on what happened in Florida, folks, but the fact is Gore has no one but himself to blame for losing. He lost Clinton's state of Arkansas and West Virginia, states Clinton carried twice. He also lost his OWN STATE OF TENNESSEE! Name one candidate to lose his own state and still win the Presidency. You can't because it hasn't happened. If Gore carried any of those states, no one cares about Florida, which the press gave him too early the first time!
I'm glad you see it that way! I live here in Florida, and I've head to hear FloriDUH for 8 years! When I went to vote for Governor in '02, they gave me the wrong party ballot, and I went, "Here we go again, folks!" The voter volunteers got mad at me!
Gore's campaign was terrible. He refused to ask either of the Clintons for help out of resentment (I think Hillary, in particular, could have been a HUGE help), he never figured out how to handle Nader, he blew the debates (despite good performances) by exagerrating/inventing facts and then doing that strange 'walk to Bush' thing, and he picked a lackluster running mate (I respect Lieberman but he's not exactly the most dynamic/charismatic politician in the world). He deserved to lose.
Gore lost the election the second he picked Joe Lieberman over Bob Graham as his runningmate. If the election was all about Florida, who gives you a better shot to take it, a man who was elected in Florida statewide four times or an unknown from Connecticut? Gore was banking on the Jewish vote and thought Lieberman was the catalyst. All Joe Lieberman did was add even more boredom to the ticket than what Gore had already brought.
I agree. I don't know why Gore did not choose Bob G. There may have been some unknown issue concerning Graham or maybe some animosity between him and Gore that we don't know about it.
That's right, you don't have to do anything. You obviously don't have the quotes, you obviously never had the quotes, and you've obviously been lying. Don't talk to me about class.
Davleuv wrote, "I wish Gore ran again. So he could've taken the presidency that was righfuly his 4 years before this. Kerry was a joke."
I totally agree. If Gore had gotten in, maybe the country would not have been involved in this unnecessary war, and/or economic crisis. Kerry seemed like he would have been a weak leader, but just about anyone I think (with the exception maybe of Governor Palin) would do a better job than Bush Jr. He was a SLIME. At least he's finally out of there.
Alas we have our conclusion. You cannot criticize me on my points, so thus you are forced to criticize me on my choice words. That's pretty much the epitome of the republican party nowadays. They have no answers to the problems; only punitive attacks against minor details, spreading lies and engaging in fear tactics. You have proven yourself to be a rank-and-file follower of this party, and thus a rank-and-file follower of these principles that are tearing our democracy apart.
Are you that stupid? I asked a rhetorical question of: "Really? I, myself, don't think of others in the world suffering in poverty?"
Are you that stupid as to not realize the OBVIOUS answer to the question? And YOU'RE going to tell ME that this republican party is the party of humanity. Bullshit.
W. was a great president! Thank god Kerry lost!!!

If that had happened then Kerry would have gotten the blame for all the economic collapse and bank turmoil at the end of '08. And don't tell me he would have averted it. The dems had blocked all the GSL reform attempts from 2005 to 2008.

It was the same day Kalyssa Leeann WYOMIc (287-08-046-OHIO) was born; she died on the 62nd birthday of 42nd prez Bill Clinton: AUG. 19, 2008. Kerry narrowly lost the 2004 election, which came down to OHIO's 20 electoral votes. Surname WYOMIc begins like the state of WYOMIng, from whence VP Dick Cheney hailed.

Matthew WAYNE Shepard (520-98-0575; b. 12/01/76) was violently attacked and robbed of $20 near Laramie, Wyoming, on Oct. 7, 1998 by AARON JAMES McKinney and RUSSELL HENDERSON, who offered Shepard a ride after meeting him in a Laramie bar. Shepard died from severe head injuries at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, on OCT. 12, 1998—exactly two years before the OCT. 12, 2000 bombing of the USS Cole by AL qAIDa at aDEN, yeMEN.

Considering the STONE CULT and “uncles & aunts with something to lose from your success in life” themes, you might draw a connection between the 10/12/98 death of Matthew WAYNE Shepard since his killers were AARON JAMES McKinney & RUSSELL HENDERSON. It helps to consider youth chasing impossible pro-sports dreams (common in the black community). The RED CEDAR address & E.E. Smith have Fayetteville in common, but AARON JAMES McKinney is unrelated to NFL LB AARON Curry, who graduated E.E. SMITH

Not if the black candidate is also a conservative (Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, etc.) or a moderate. If the black candidate is a liberal, then maybe the Obama factor applies because Obama is obviously a liberal. Don't confuse race with political ideology.

Compare the way Kerry handled his election defeat with the way Gore handled his. Kerry has class and clearly cares about the country. Gore, on the other hand, was bitter and petty. Even Nixon didn't contest the 1960 election, despite the fact that many urged him to do so. It's also worth noting that John Edwards, Kerry's running mate and all-around slime, tried to convince Kerry to contest the results. Edwards thought another recount debacle would help his own chances in 2008.

If just ONE member of the US Senate had the balls to question the results of the 2000 election fro, the state of Florida, George Bush, Karl Rove and Katherine Harris would be in jail. I realize that Al Gore has been his own worst enemy at times but he was cheated, no two ways about it. In virtually every other state in the nation, it is illegal for secretaries of state to engage in partisan politics. Is it jst a coincidence that Bush won twice and it came down to one state? Come on.
daddymak9 2 years ago
Gore was in no way cheated. And saying anyone would have gone to jail over the election is a ridiculous assertion. Florida was a mess, no doubt about it, but the Republicans AND the Democrats did plenty to swing the results their way, which is what happens in politics. And Secretaries of State are POLITICIANS - to claim they should not be involved/are not involved in politics on a local and national level is fanciful.

jksonny 2 years ago
After the Florida supreme court ruled to recount all 175 thousand unread ballots Gore was only 92 votes behind with much of the votes still uncounted. The US Supreme Court issued a stay and then ruled there was an equal protection violation but there was too little time to correct the issue. SO basically the Court issued a stay causing them to miss the recount deadline but then didn't allow the completion of the recount because they missed the deadline.
plogjayhawk7568 2 years ago
So, at no time did Gore win.
jksonny 2 years ago
At no time did Gore have the lead but at no time was George W Bush's victory verified via recount. The Supreme court decided the election not the people. They stopped the recount and after ruling on the case Bush v Gore they did not allow the recount to be completed.
plogjayhawk7568 2 years ago
So, Gore didn't win; which is my point.
Democracy is messy and never works perfectly. This showed in FLA b/c the election was so close and b/c the networks kept screwing up the call. Even if the Supreme Court allowed the recount, the elction would not have been decided by the voters. It would have been decided by a bunch of local officials - all with their own agendas/preferences - holding up ballots to the light and guessing "voter intent." And those results would not have been (cont'd)
jksonny 2 years ago
. . . accepted so the court challenges and recounts would have gone on and on and on. I'm not a big analogy-fan but the election was already in overtime and even though Gore was driving down the field, he ran out of time with Bush still ahead.

I agree, but the Electroral College is the process that has been in place for 220 years.

Our forefathers recognized this when they wrote the Constitution.
It is conceivable a candidate can win New York City, LA, Chicago, and their suburbs and win the national popular vote. Bush still won 30+ states.

I'll repeat it! NOBAMA HAS 89 WEEKS OR 623 DAYS TO GO! We need to hammer this point: "ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN WHEN NOBAMA TOOK OFFICE!"

We may disagree on what happened in Florida, folks, but the fact is Gore has no one but himself to blame for losing. He lost Clinton's state of Arkansas and West Virginia, states Clinton carried twice. He also lost his OWN STATE OF TENNESSEE! Name one candidate to lose his own state and still win the Presidency. You can't because it hasn't happened. If Gore carried any of those states, no one cares about Florida, which the press gave him too early the first time!

Exactly correct.

I'm glad you see it that way! I live here in Florida, and I've head to hear FloriDUH for 8 years! When I went to vote for Governor in '02, they gave me the wrong party ballot, and I went, "Here we go again, folks!" The voter volunteers got mad at me!

Gore's campaign was terrible. He refused to ask either of the Clintons for help out of resentment (I think Hillary, in particular, could have been a HUGE help), he never figured out how to handle Nader, he blew the debates (despite good performances) by exagerrating/inventing facts and then doing that strange 'walk to Bush' thing, and he picked a lackluster running mate (I respect Lieberman but he's not exactly the most dynamic/charismatic politician in the world). He deserved to lose.

Gore lost the election the second he picked Joe Lieberman over Bob Graham as his runningmate. If the election was all about Florida, who gives you a better shot to take it, a man who was elected in Florida statewide four times or an unknown from Connecticut? Gore was banking on the Jewish vote and thought Lieberman was the catalyst. All Joe Lieberman did was add even more boredom to the ticket than what Gore had already brought.

I agree. I don't know why Gore did not choose Bob G. There may have been some unknown issue concerning Graham or maybe some animosity between him and Gore that we don't know about it.

That's right, you don't have to do anything. You obviously don't have the quotes, you obviously never had the quotes, and you've obviously been lying. Don't talk to me about class.

Show me the damn quotes where I denied the world being in poverty. I really don't blame you if you can't, because those quotes don't exist.

I totally agree. If Gore had gotten in, maybe the country would not have been involved in this unnecessary war, and/or economic crisis. Kerry seemed like he would have been a weak leader, but just about anyone I think (with the exception maybe of Governor Palin) would do a better job than Bush Jr. He was a SLIME. At least he's finally out of there.

Alas we have our conclusion. You cannot criticize me on my points, so thus you are forced to criticize me on my choice words. That's pretty much the epitome of the republican party nowadays. They have no answers to the problems; only punitive attacks against minor details, spreading lies and engaging in fear tactics. You have proven yourself to be a rank-and-file follower of this party, and thus a rank-and-file follower of these principles that are tearing our democracy apart.
averyj 2 years ago
Are you that stupid? I asked a rhetorical question of: "Really? I, myself, don't think of others in the world suffering in poverty?"
Are you that stupid as to not realize the OBVIOUS answer to the question? And YOU'RE going to tell ME that this republican party is the party of humanity. Bullshit.
