Al Gore was a journalist for seven years before he got elected to the Senate. He's also written a book. The moot point is; can Dubya even read?</font>[/QUOTE]<font color=orange>Being from the Great State of Tennessee, I have to say that Al Gore is a idiot! And I can pretty much assure you that if he runs in 2004, he'll lose his home state again. That's the reason Tipper decided not to run for Fred Thompson's senate seat. She knew she'd get beat by Lamar Alexander and it would hurt whatever chance Al had here too.</font></font>[/QUOTE]So, why specifically is Gore an idiot? That's a very sweeping statement you make there! (I personally have hold no particular ruth for Gore. Just interested in your reasoning, is all.)</font>[/QUOTE]<font color=orange>1. Al Gore doesn't listen to the people from his home state. Since he was sent to Washington back in 1984, his views have consistantly gone more liberal than the people in Tennessee that elected him. We sent him there in the first place to look after our interests, not to become some Northeastern Liberal.
2. During the 2000 election, he assumed that he would sweep Dudya's butt right out the door in this state because he was from Tennessee. It didn't happen because, again he didn't listen to what his follow Tennesseeans on HIS CAMPAIGN STAFF told him. They told him that Tennessee as a state had become more conservative than his message was. All he had to do was change his message a little and he would have won easily here and won the national election. Losing the state of Florida didn't cost him the election, losing Tennessee did.
3. Coming out of the Democratic Convention, he completely lost all momentum that he gained because of gaffs that he made when it came to the facts. Facts that where easily checked by the reporters that covered his campaign. Remember when Al Gore said his mother in law's prescription cost more than his dog's? His own aides said the story was made up. What about Al Gore being the one that discovered the Love
canal mess. How about Al and Tipper being the true couple behind the movie LOVE STORY. Another was the one about learning the Union song on his momma's knee (implying that he learned it as a youngster). Well if that were true, then I'm I not sure he could have even run for President because he would have been to young since the song was
written in 1972. There were several more. There was even a memo accidently released, warning him to watch his facts. Unfortuately this was a memo from 1988 when he ran for president the first time. Obviously he didn't learn anything the first time around!
4. He was a complete buffoon during the debates, with his little audible sighs and such and once again, he got caught on the facts, not just once, but several times. It became quite evident that he couldn't be trusted to tell the truth, much like his old boss Bill.
Having said all of this, I have to tell you that I voted for Al Gore Twice during the '80's. I even wrote a paper about him in High School when he was in the House of Representatives. I really liked him, but after watching him as Vice President and then running for President in 2000, I got more and more dis-enchanted. Disgusted even. To the point that I truely do think he is an idiot. A smarter individual would have learned from past mistakes, but not Al.</font>
