Al Gore Defeats George Bush in 2000

[JDMURDERERS]

For everyone who says, "If Al gore was so good why didn't he win...." Ill give you two words..... Ralph Nader.

[VoiceOfModeration]

So, Bush is considered dumb as nails, but yet at the same time leftists think that somehow he 1) fooled the entire country by rigging the American election and 2) master-minded the 9/11 attacks?????? Cognitive Dissonance?

[Chutneybhai]

Vote for gore. im super serial!

[loveofphysics]

If Gore had been President...

-Possibly 9/11 never would have happened due to different policies in place

-Even if it did, we wouldn't be fighting two meaningless wars 10 years later

-The debt would have been in the process of getting paid down, instead of raising the debt ceiling

-There still would have been a housing bubble, but due to sensible regulations, it would have been smaller, and we would handle a quick recovery because our debt would have been manageable

[loveofphysics]

(continued)

-We would be at the fore front of the biotech and greentech revolutions since our president would not have been a pawn of the Evangelical fundamentalists or the Oil Industry

-There would be international action against climate change

-We would never have had a dumb ass president there to spawn more dumb ass repubs like Palin, Bachmann, and Trump.

[Nightverslonn]

@loveofphysics lets see, your left winger has been in 3 yrs now - has any of the things you wanted in your posts happened yet?

is the economy better off?

[loveofphysics]

@Nightverslonn I did not say,"Imagine if Obama was president in 2000"

Obama has extended Bush tax cuts, extended Bush wars while adding a new war, Made discretionary spending cuts that Bush only had wet dreams about, Extended the Bush Patriot Act, extended the career of the Bush FED Chairman...

I don't get why you tea baggers are so upset, Obama is essentially an extension of Bush, but of course, as David Brooks says, you Tea Baggers are no longer even sane conservatives...

[gigaboy47]

@loveofphysics Tell me what does the 9/11 have to do with al gore or bush it had nothing to do with poltics. That would of happen with whoever in office.

[MiSTAAAHMEK]

Bush winning was the biggest mistake ever.

[zelvadrian]

I hate Dubya BUT I am a right winger. If Gore was as half as great as you guys says he was, they why didn't he win the popular vote by a few million, or Florida by a hundred thousand, which would of course given a hands down Al Gore victory???

[Kimmis1990]

@zelvadrian because they didnt make a full recount, including the overvotes that had been casted. They did this in just one county in Florida and it had a 85% turnout for Al Gore. Gore were leading in the population votes with half a million votes, so if they had made full recount with the overvotes, Gore would have won Florida and the Presidency.

[whitedarknessnight66]

i have been waiting sooo long for something like this THANKYOU !!!

[thebestsumoeva]

People actually believe we can power all of our homes and cars with wind mills? I take it back, maybe we could if we spent $100 trillion dollars on it, but by the time they got done we wouldn't need energy because everyone starved to death since the government took all their money and food.

[TheJman6360]

What was Al Gore's main agenda if he took office? Having the U.S. become free from foreign oil dependency. What was george bush's? He accomplished it NOTHING!!!

[AstroMen2911]

You forgot one more fact. If Al Gore was president, the Twin Towers would still be standing.

[hpesoj616machine]

@AstroMen2911 Why don't you just go argue somewhere else. I have my own right now.

[thebestsumoeva]

@AstroMen2911 I like how you get your facts from fictional movies and videos on YouTube. Keep on working at it and maybe someday your ignorance of reality will go away.

[AstroMen2911]

@thebestsumoeva Thanks, I know Al Gore wouldn't ignore the threats against America like Bush did. All Bush did in office was take vacations...in our expense of course, otherwise how would he afford it? Silly Bush, don't you know taxxes was for the people.

[amrite]

Yeah, wind farms are going to power the entire USA, you fuck. Wind mills will power the CARS. Oh, and you forgot NINE ELEVEN.

[googlexxxxxxx]

Well, this calls for a celebration.

[Nightversionn]

Gore is the 43rd president and history already knows it.

He's done more for us outside of office, I'd say more than Bush, but all Bush did was destroy things.

[AstroMen2911]

@Nightversionn I agree. Bush is an idiot. Americas biggest mistake... or was it? Al Gore should have been president if the dead would not vote for Bush.

[CassieDynomite]

Al Gore invented the internet!

[plazmatical1]

The end is funnier then fuck.

[Arley2011]

Gore/Clinton 2016!

[Abridgedfan134]

Witch Clinton?

[kylecorreia]

fuck both of the clintons they r fucking corrupt both of them are

[gigaboy47]

@Arley2011 Clinton can't be vice. Also Clinton was awesome but if Al Gore had got it then instead of job killing they would have been real killing right after the 9/11. Both of al and bush were not fit to be in office as president anyway.

[Scotty7617]

Gore made the ultimate boneheaded moves of distancing himself from Bill Clinton and not letting Clinton campaign for him.

It was only Bill Clinton, who left office with a record high end of term approval rating.

Gore lost both his home state of Tennessee and Clinton's home state of Arkansas, which was really pathetic. If he won either one those he could have lost Florida and still won.

[Scotty7617]

I despise George W. Bush and think Al Gore would have made a great president, but Gore really had himself to blame for losing this election.

Yeah, Bush stole the election, but there was no reason it should have had to come down to Florida to decide it.

Gore should have been a mile ahead of Bush the whole time, but he wasn't because he ran a piss poor campaign.

[JoseAnd911World]

If only Gore won...

[Arley2011]

Hey don't blame me I voted for Gore 2000

[PVJared]

George Bush was campaigning on a humble foreign policy meaning no nation building and no policing the world.

[PVJared]

9/11 would've still happened I think, but Gore would have handled the situation a lot better.

[oscarmacaroni]

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH..... there was no stolen election people GEEZ.....

[awesomedude1133]

If the Republicans were so confident that Bush won Florida, they would have allowed the recounts to prove it, but for some odd reason, they wanted to stop the recounts. I wonder why...

[1000jerskii]

yeah right

[will3441]

Why? The Florida election has been closely scrutinized since the election, and several irregularities are thought to have favored Bush. These included the Palm Beach "butterfly ballot," which produced an unexpectedly large number of votes for third-party candidate Patrick Buchanan, and a purge of some 50,000 alleged felons from the Florida voting rolls, which were nearly half African-American voters and the majority of whom were not felons and should have been eligible to vote under Florida law.

[IbanezRG7321]

Damnit, what was America thinking when they voted Bush into office?

[karapekka]

Indeed. Bush's birth was the worst even in modern worls history to date.

[smokinjoe666]

They missed out something. how would he act to our country being attacked, im going to say he just sits there and say oh well not my problem like Clinton did to the first trade center attacks. And then ignore the constant bombardment of attack by terrorist, while across the Atlantic Iraqis are still being tortured daily and Jerusalem has fallen to Iran. (this is my own opinion no need to reply)

[Scotty7617]

Really? Clinton said "not my problem"? That's odd. last time I checked Clinton caught the terrorist who did the first WTC bombing and threw them in prison, where they still are.

[Scotty7617]

Clinton didn't ignore the terrorist attacks. He took the threat very seriously. The Republicans ignored it, which is why there were five major attacks.

They even accused Clinton of hysteria, exaggerating the threat, and being too obsessed with Bin Laden, and thought his affair was more important when he tried to address the issue of Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden.

[Scotty7617]

Smokinjoe, that is just some stupid crap. Israel is now more at risk of falling to Iran, since Saddam Hussein kept Iran in check, and now it's a lot easier for them to do what they feel like in the region since the current Iraqi government sure as hell isn't going to stop them.

Yeah, Iraqis would still be getting tortured, as opposed to now, where they're blowing each other up.

[Scotty7617]

If Gore had been president, 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

Gore would not have demoted Richard Clarke, top man on terrorism, like Bush did, and would not have refused to meet with him, like Bush did, and would have actually paid attention to the numerous warnings through 2001, instead of straight up refusing to address the issue, like Bush did.

Also, Gore would not have gone on vacation for the whole month of August.

[hpesoj616machine]

@Scotty7617 Democrat scum...!

[Scotty7617]

@hpesoj616machine That's right. Just throw out the insults. That's the first thing someone does when they have no counter-argument.

[hpesoj616machine]

@Scotty7617 Oh believe me, I have a counter argument, If he was elected, he would have probably caused this country to go into the ground. He's a freekin' tree hugger....! Just like the rest of the democrats! He would have WASTED millions of dollars on all of those wind farms!!!

[Scotty7617]

@hpesoj616machine Oh, a tree hugger wasting millions on alternative energy is bad? But it was okay for the warmonger Bush to waste BILLIONS on the war in Iraq for oil?

Al Gore probably would have caused this country to go into the ground? I guess we'll never know, but we do know that George W. Bush DEFINITELY caused this country to go into the ground.

[hpesoj616machine]

@Scotty7617 He was just fighting back because of what happened on 9/11. Okay I have a deal for you: Why don't we just stop fighting about all of this...? Is that okay?

[Scotty7617]

@hpesoj616machine Calling me scum to backing down in two posts. If you don't want to argue you don't have to respond. Fighting back by invading a country that had nothing to do with the attacks, which even he admitted in a video you can watch here on Youtube? Not to mention how the invasion created a million more people who want to carry out similar attacks. No, the war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. It was about lining the pockets of Bush and his greedy war profiteering buddies.

[hpesoj616machine]

@Scotty7617 I don't want to get into political fights anymore. I have had tons in my life. We each have different political views and we should except it! Have a nice day.

[thebestsumoeva]

@hpesoj616machine He would have spent $500 billion on wind mills and when they couldn't provide enough energy for 500 cars he would say we need to spend another $1 trillion to power the rest of America.

[thebestsumoeva]

@Scotty7617 If Gore had been president we would have invaded Mexico after 9/11. Damn Mexicans don't have any wind farms!

[MrEatonbeaver]

@Scotty7617 Very well posted. bush is a catastrophe that walks as an ape.

[legoguy78]

that should happen a long time ago.

[wjk1212]

God Bless the Great State of Tennessee.

They know how to recognize an idiot litigation attorney. Unlike my rust-belt state of Pennsylvania.

[macarion]

"Every recount scenario had Bush beating that pathetic asshole Gore."

not true

[Arley2011]

FU ASSWIPE MACARION

[macarion]

great comeback

[Blurx551]

Any person educated on how the Presidentail System in the United States works would have come across something called the Checks & Balances, adopted by our founding fathers from the French Philosopher Montesque. They would then realize that Bush would have to convince the ENTIRE CONGRESS and SUPREME COURT before doing what he wants. So its not his fault. The fault lies with thousands of politicians in Congress and The House.

[Darkellison3]

thousands?

thousands? all i can say is thousands? how many people do you think are in congress which is simply called congress not the congress and the house it can be called the senate and the house

[lilkumarjones]

Not when everybody is saying yes to everything. Power became heavily centralized in his administration. So yes, it is Bush's fault. This video hurts because its true. Gore would have been a fantastic president.

[jdb316]

I don't know about fantastic, but definitely better than Bush.

[k92fm]

Happy 60th to the elected president of the united states.

[patsfan331]

bush supporters are the dumbest, most ignorant people in the world

[sltrukshan]

Whatever it is, Al gore would be the president. You Americans pay for it now. What happened to your economy? Al gore has a vision about the environment, pollution, global warming...etc. Still you Americans have not understood the danger you make the whole world by being an immense polluter. You will understand it, but will be too late. Scientists have alternatives for crude oil but will big oil companies allow them?? You are an independent nation. So think about it.

[anthonyvprior]

The problem is that we have untapped oil (like in Alaska and Colorado) that we can't drill for - some caribou or birds might be killed. Global warming is a hoax. The globe was warmer during the vikings and civilization didn't end. Study the Medieval Warming Period. The vikings were farming Greenland...you know that giant ice sheet we have today. There are 38 particles of CO2 per 100,000 particles in the atmosphere. China pollutes the most. And our economy is still the world's best.

[sltrukshan]

The most foolish comment ever regarding the global warming. You foolish Americans not only destroy yourself but also the entire earth.

[anthonyvprior]

Foolish? Why? Because it's based off history? No, fools are the ones who forget history. If you think America is so bad, then why do people keep leaving their countries to live in this one?

[sltrukshan]

First thing is there are guys who try to go US. But now things are changing and US economy is in extinction. Europe will take control. The cyclic process of global cooling and warming is entirely natural. It happens every 10000 yrs. But the natural cycle has changed due to uncontrolled CO2 emission. So you are trying to modify the real history. And China emits only 1/6 but US emits 1/3 CO2 emission. Check the IPCC data if you are not sure. Don't go after BUSH!!

[anthonyvprior]

There are only 38 particles of CO2 per every 100,000 particles in the atmosphere. The idea that what you exhale is a pollutant is absurd. Even if you want to believe it, the globe was warmer during the time of the vikings. Did the world end? Of course not. How about you study the Medieval Warming Period. There's a reason why Al Gore is forced to go to court on charges of fraud. And since when has a federation of states ever been a long term power? Study history or economics, please.

[anthonyvprior]

[timmeh37]

Actually the Medieval Warm Period was colder than the temperatures now according to all the graphs I've seen except for one. The one that the people who thing global warming is a hoax have showed to us. Actually, our economy sucks. Without the global warming stuff we would have a lot more outsourced jobs and be buying even more oil, polluting our cities and waters and environment. Even if global warming isn't real, pollution is and you can't deny that.

[anthonyvprior]

So why were the vikings able to have so many farms in Greenland? They keep digging these old settlements out of the ice. We still have the biggest economy, which is one of the reasons why people keep trying to live here (illegally). Pollution is real, but I don't see it being so bad as to kill off life. And actually it's increasing efficiency of our technology that's cutting back pollution. Not the "stop using that" attitude of global warming movement.

[Blurx551]

Anthony your basically right, but China polluting is sort of our fault. American comapnys exploit chinese laborers and make their plastics in China because they have no laws prohibiting it. So the pollution may come from China but it is due to companys like Lego, CocoCola, pepsi, Mattlel, and other companys that sell cheap plastic products. China Has Alot more pollution even when you consider our Pollution in their Country

[anthonyvprior]

It is still up to the Chinese government on how these industries operate. Just like Toyota plants in the United States operate by US standards and not necessarily Japanese standards.

[shootermidl]

global warming is a hoax that al gore made to get attention, i believe in manbearpig more than that!

[jermberm]

psh yeah global warming is fake....are you that fucking ignorant?? aunestly you douchebag...blizzards in april...melting glaciers....crazy weather everywhere...please for the sake of america ...die

[fireman10002000]

Uh Yeah. The stats used to show how global warming is destroying the earth are wrong and the math is shoddy. The world is now and will forever go through continuous climate changes. You should learn to spell before trying to insult another for their opinion.

[ropteynde]

that was awesome...we can only dream what it might have been like...ahhh, dreams

[prede89]

nice dreams... i wish gore won

[herbiehusker13]

not a word on 9/11? I don't think anyone could be as forceful as Bush was. Whether you agree with the act or not, you can't disagree that he has been forceful (call it stubborn if u like) in his policies.

[thefreak985]

Bush has been a strong president, heisnt a democrat thinking presidency is about popularity and approval ratings, he does wat is best for the nation

[bowerd199016]

that is so funny I was not for bush

[charterloungeparty]

Bush did not win the election. He was appointed.

[fhesi3]

Those fuckers would have nuked Iran too. Lieberman? Come on.

[aandd101]

no, gore and lieberman are too competent to pull off something as stupid as nuking iran. they wouldnt have gone to war with iraq either. they would have also paid attention to the daily warnings the CIA gave the president about a osama bin laden terrorist attack on american soil and possibly couldve prevented 9/11 from being as bad as it was.

[theofficerocks32]

(the last line should say) but what gore says....

[theofficerocks32]

Who won? Who won? BUSH thats who, and at least Bush DID take action against the terrorist who killed more than 3,000 people all Gore would have done is tried to blow up Iraq's oil fields to save the world from his global warming lies

[bingofob]

global warming is not a lie ahole..

[theofficerocks32]

What about global cooling was that a lie too????

[bingofob]

wtf global cooling...

[theofficerocks32]

yeah back in the 70's a bunch of enviormentalists said the earth was geting cooler, but now gore says its geting warmer, however that is sort of true; the earth gets warmer and cooler about every 50-150 years, but gore says is wrong its not going to kill us.

[Christoffeltje]

"Wake the KIDS: Bush is stealing the elections..!!" hahahaha!!!

[vanbanh]

Bush is a CHEATER!!! I LOVE this video! Too bad, Al Gore still would have gone through 9/11 because you cannot change time UNLESS Osama bin Laden was a Democrat and wanted to punish Bush. That's my conspiracy. Still, Bush is a big fat dirty cheater. George Bush SR., however was a great president. Bush SR. was just blamed for all the debts because Reagan used up all the government's money. Oh yeah, and Bush sucks.

[jroget66]

Terrible video, President Bush is the smartest President this country has ever seen! If it was not for him, I would not have my $200 tax cut,

or my $7.85 per hour job as a walmart greeter.

Vote Bush in 2008.

[vincentrich]

Bush in 2008?

[haomani]

If only...

[ramblnman24]

thank god gore did not win!

[symsyn]

YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT.

[thefreak985]

somone finally speaks the truth

[Christoffeltje]

Family BUSH is CORRUPT.. they STOLE the ELECTIONS in 2000 and probably in 2004 in Ohio.. HAHAHAHA

[tscastro114]

So true!

[sandman099]

Hilarious vid! Hey snagmam80--Gore would NEVER have gotten us into Iraq. The half $trillion saved would buy an awful lot of free wind energy from windmills! Of course Mercedes E-Class sales to Halliburton execs would plummet.

[snagam80]

OY... spelling error.

Correction: Oil Independence.

Well - enough posting to this silly vid. ;^P

[snagam80]

Just a comment on the Windmills... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. didn't want Windmills to spoil his veiw in 2005. Do you think Mr. Gore should have been able to convince him to let the Wind Farm be built? Well, obviously not - cus he didn't do it in reality. OY... LOL

[snagam80]

What a crock that was... and laughable in light of all we know of Mr. Gore. Oil indepence by 2008 RFLMAO!

I noticed 911 wasn't mentioned. Kinda skipped by that, huh? LOL

[SteveBennett07]

I guess because Gore is literate when it comes to National Security reports.

[enlightenedpie]

911 wouldn't have happened since the Bush administration staged it... Jeez, get your conspiracy theories in order!

[theofficerocks32]

If thats true then Al Gore must be a truthful politician whio won the 2000 election. Ooooo wait a minute he DIDN'T.

[symsyn]

Most males ages 24-40 in this country based their vote on (who would you rather have a beer with Bush or Gore). Idiots to say the least. You must have been one of those.

[kurtvonne]

Funny stuff-- I love the Fox News banner attacking Gore for "creating dependence on renewable energy"!

[simeetg]

Hilarious. And sadly quite true.
