Liberals do realize that Gore would have been worse, right? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Liberals always complain that Bush is being aggressive starting wars in the middle east and taking away people's rights here at home but they do realize that Gore would have put twice the effort in these two areas, right?

I mean first off, before the election (which seems real far off now as it was before sept. 11th), Gore had a history of censorship that Bush never had. I remember reading an article comparing the two and their ideas on the censorship of the music industry and Gore was in favour of it while Bush thought the gov't had no place in censorship but he urged the music industry itself to regulate itself. What it comes down to is Gore was pre-disposed towards censorship and reducing rights of expression...

secondly, who would Gore's vice-president have been? none other but the pro-Israeli and jewish Lieberman who no doubt would have urged Gore to do everything that Bush has done but probably also would have took action against the Palestinians.

and thirdly, Bush has surrounded himself with people who were involved in the first war in Iraq what with Cheney and Powell (and he could always talk with his dad), so the Bush administration has undoubtedly done better in Iraq than a Gore presidency would have done.

so there you go, liberals... your arguments against Bush are invalid as Gore would have done the same **** if not more and with less capability


thanks

It's interesting that you seem to think you know exactly what would've happened based solely on past events. Logic dictates that someone with Bush's intellect couldn't possibly have become president, but somehow it's happened anyway. For all you, I, or anybody else knows, Gore might not've involved the country in any wars.

alright... so people here have no problem with the war on iraq but were bothered by Bush's lack of respect for the UN? i dont know... how some of yall worded things, it made it seemed that war in iraq was never justified...

what about the capabilities in dealing with the middle east and fighting the war, however? would Gore have had as many people who had been involved in Iraq in 91?

Maybe you are right in some of these Herr Speer... we'll never know for sure.

EVEN IF no war in Iraq - still would have been war in Afghanistan... so maybe situation not THAT different.

Speer: to clarify my position on the war in Iraq.

1. I want Saddam dead.
2. I don't want the world to hate us.
3. I don't want corporations close to the president stealing my tax dollars.
4. I don't want the bad things in post-war Iraq to be blaimed entirely on America.
5. I don't want to be lied to.
6. I don't want to see people in our Armed Forces (which many of my friends serve in) die for political ends.

Bush's war only gave me Saddam's death. That's it. Well, maybe not confirmed death, but he's not in charge anymore. But those other 5 things (just 5 off the top of my head, there are more) didn't get taken care of. War in Iraq should have been postponed and happened when we had the following:

1. The rest of the free-world on our side.
2. The rest of the world helping us clean up the mess.
3. An anti-war-profiteering bill like we had in WW2
4. SOLID PROOF OF WHY WE SENT OUR TROOPS IN HARMS WAY

I doubt highly Gore would have gone to war with Iraq, given that his advisors would have not pushed that policy.

If Gore had followed his policy promises during rthe election the deficit would be much lower, and that is all we can safely bet on. With the reps in control, who knows what would have gotten done in the Congress. I can imagine some very harsh battles there, speically aftyer the whole election (the reps. would have been far far more bitter about defeat than dems, since it would just add +4 year more to the Dems. control of the WH).

As for his reaction to 9/11? No clue. One simply can not forsee how someone would act under such circumstances.

To have him in the Oval Office during recent events would have been pathetic.

Even more so than Dubya's "choking on pretzel" incident? Or his refusal to immediately attend to the news of the 9-11 attack?

A) Choking on food isn't that unusual.
B) Unlike people here, he wanted to get all the facts, and make plans, before making a statement.

Like you don't?

No one hear has a clue how anyone else as president would have reacted to 9/11, and no one here can make anything close to a quasi-intelliegent guess about it either.

We can;t even know that if Gore had become president, there would still have been 9/11 (not that the Bushies are at fault with it). We have no clue how the world could have been.

You use the same facts to condemn Bush and at the same time prop up Gore.
