Re: RAT Gore, gosh darnit!

Mr. Nashgay, your argument for voting for Gore suffers from the false 
presumption that he is  more liberal than shrub is. Is Gore any less in the 
pocket of major corporations? no. Is he a major stockholder in Occidental 
Petroleum? (yes) Who is the largest individual polluter in the U.S.? The U.S. 
government. Will that change under Gore? No.  How many times was the military 
deployed under Bill Clinton (who has still has a few months in office)? 118. 
How many times under Ronald Reagan? 72. Who reduced welfare spending more? 
Clinton or Reagan? Clinton, by far.  Who's one of the most liberal judges on 
the Supreme Court? Arguably, David Souter, appointed by shrub's dad. who's 
entire voting record was pro-life  until he first decided to run for 
President in 1988? Al Gore's. And Gore is socially progressive? Yeah--like 
those record labels he and his wife wanted to impose back in the 80s, and his 
6 month ultimatum to the movie industry to clean up its act (just before he 
quietly reversed himself at a $1,000 a plate Hollywood fundraiser). Above 
all, ask yourself this question: why on earth would anyone want to bar third 
party candidates from the national debate? The answer is, they are afraid of 
the public hearing the truth, and they are afraid of having to field 
embarassing questions. Bush and Gore are snuggled up in the same sleeping 
bag, and to think that Gore is even a marginal improvement is like saying 
that you'd rather be shot by Stalin than by Hitler. TravSD
