1. I don't know as to how sincere he is, but you have to have a lot of balls to write the book he wrote. It was just short of political suicide. If Bill thought he didn't need Gore, Gore would be nowhere right now. 'Sides, I think he'd do more than Bush on the issue.
2. Have you listened to his speeches on the matter? Did he accept subsidies after his sister's death? Does he still grow tobacco? (I'm not trying to be confrontational on the last two questions. I'm really curious to know) As for Bush, c'mon, he's republican. I kinda wondering what kind of deals he's making to lock up the southern states.
3. Sure his job was "cushy" in vietnam. But vietnam was vietnam. Ever see Full Metal Jacket? That guy there was a journalist (yes, I know it's just a movie. But a very good movie!). Besides, look at Bush. Now Bush's participation in Vietnam was "CUSHY!" He was there just in case the North Vietnamese(sp?) managed to invade the US through Texas. Good job George!
4. So what! What he did wasn't SO bad. At least he didn't get caught with is pants down! Har, har.
5. At the monastery he was accepting money from Tibetan monks (you can call the tibetan monks chinese if you want to, but I wouldn't). I'm not saying he didn't accept money from the Chinese, he did that too. But I believe the Chinese participated in the 'Tea Party' fundraising events. Accepting money ain't so bad. Every party does it. The problem is Clinton/Gore chose to accept it in the White House, which is a big No-No.
6. I ain't touchin' that.
8. I actually think he would tax gasoline and energy more. This is in keeping with the themes discussed in his book.
9. It's all politics. Gore chose liberman, I believe, specifically on this issue. Gore backed Clinton to stregthen their position in the White House. Gore chose Liberman to distance himself from the decision he made, and from the current White House. Just as Bush chose Cheney because Bush is an idiot and Cheney isn't.
10. Well, that's true, but the Republican idea of leadership is controling the government. If they control the whole Congress and the Presidency they'll be able to get a lot done (read: good leadership). Not that this is necessarily a good thing. There's a difference between leadership and total control.
I personally believe that both men are unacceptably incompetent (Bush maybe more so). I wish Clinton was running again. Really, I would have voted for McCain. I liked him. I liked what he wanted to do, and he would have been good for our ailing presidency. Yes, I know that McCain and Gore would have conflicted on the issues, McCain just would have been better for the country. To see him campaigning for Bush really burns me up! Besides, it would take a lot for me to help ANOTHER Bush into the White House.
