| Al Gore, Still Seeeeeeeeeeething |
| 2004-06-24 |
| Via Drudge Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore on Thursday accused President Bush of telling "an artful and important lie" soon after the Sept. 11 attacks to set the stage for war on Iraq. "Beginning very soon after the attacks of 9/11, President Bush made a decision to start mentioning Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in the same breath in a cynical mantra designed to fuse them together as one in the public’s mind," Gore said in a speech at Georgetown University Law Center. To me, a bag of a shit is a bag of shit; one just smells differently from the other one... Gore, a Democrat who lost Um, ever hear of the Electoral College? Didn’t think so. cited the recent report by the Sept. 11 commission saying no credible evidence existed of a link between the Iraqi leader and bin Laden. Um, that’s not the exact wording, Al. Is this a cynical mantra designed to diffuse them from each other in the public’s mind? He said Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) continue to argue for a connection between bin Laden’s al Qaeda network and the deposed Iraqi regime because it supports their push for war in Iraq and justifies "some of the new power they’ve picked up from the Congress and the courts" since the 2001 hijack attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. As a result, President Bush "is now intentionally misleading the American people. Indeed, Bush’s consistent and careful artifice is itself evidence that he knew full well that he was telling an artful and important lie -- visibly circumnavigating the truth over and over again as if he had practiced how to avoid encountering the truth." As Al Gore continues to avoid encountering another truth - YOU LOST THE ELECTION! GET OVER IT!! In an hour-long address punctuated by polite laughter and applause, Gore also accused the Bush administration of working closely "with a network of ’rapid response’ digital Brown Shirts who work to pressure reporters and their editors for ’undermining support for our troops."’ Kind of like what you’re doing now, Al? Jeez, just get it over with and compare Bush to Hitler so we can invoke Godwin’s Law. |

| #6 Dan: Governer Don Sundquist is a Republican. Here in Tennessee the big cities, Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga,, and Knoxville, are overwelmingly Democrat but the rural areas are Republican. I think this has to do with the Democrat's penchant for "giveaways" and "entitlements" and the recipients of those programs are mainly located in the cities. There are large populations of welfare recipients in these cities and also Knoxville and Nashville have large universities which tend to be more liberal democrat. I don't have any facts to back this up, this is only from my own observations and talking with people. The rural people tend to be more self sufficient and don't want to be indebted to the government. |

| #4 Kind of off subject but just barely. I went to a Union meeting today and they announced that the Union was endorsing John Friggin Kerry (big surprise). But what did surprise me is that NOBODY applauded the endorsement, not even a polite golf clap! The Local President was really stunned by the LACK of enthusiasm showed by the rank and file and quickly changed the subject. From the article that Gore did not get a standing ‘O’ for his effort. I may be just dreaming but could people finally realizing just how serious the situation is and that these people have NOTHING but rhetoric to offer? |
