that's assuming that 9-11 had occurred, the republicans would not only have probably impeached him by this point in his tenure, they might have even had him executed by firing squad.

then another question: would 9-11 have even happened under a gore administration?

you can bet your a--, i mean, bottom dollar, that had gore been overseer of the same bull that has gone down under monkeyface, civil war would have probably broken out by now, and gore would have been impeached, executed or assassinated.

two observations. the democratic 'leaders' look totally neutered by their inactivity and unwillingness to bring about impeachment proceedings where they are deserved. the hypocrisy of the gop is stunning and breathtaking in it's boldness. all they can do when it is pointed out that bush has practically destroyed america in 2 short years, is bring up how horrible the last legally elected president was.

1. I don't think 911 would have occured if Gore was in office
for a variety of reasons.

Yes`, I do think the republicians would impeach or the talk would be hot and heavy about impeachment.

2. But Bush has gone too far
for many Republicans. My doctor, a lifelong member of the GOP, told me that she would vote Democratic in 2004 because "Bush is insane". And fiscal conservatives are wailing over the huge budget deficits-they are likely to break away from Bush if the Dems offer an alternative who offers a hope of getting back to balanced budgets.

3. Gore DID win
If he had been rightfully inaugurated, then I would agree with you.

5. if gore had won, he'd be in the white house
i don't think he fought it hard enough. to me, he just layed down.
of course, he got the most votes, but he layed down and rolled over.
so to say gore won is only partially true. i may have worded it better i suppose.

6. None of these corporate wars
would have occurred under President Gore, but you can bet the repigs and their media minions would have created some mountain out of a molehill to impeach him. With the Diebold elected Congress, he would have been under constant siege with 24/7 coverage of every lie and rumor.

7. Yes. Probably, even if 911 didn't happen.
Edited on Wed Aug-13-03 07:35 AM by bowens43
What republicans can't get in fair elections they attempt to get by other means. It's what they do.

1. Couldn't get the presidency in 1996 so they attempted to remove President Clinton from office by impeaching him over a blow job.

2. Couldn't win the 2000 election so they went to a conservative federal court to ensure that the votes would never be counted.

3. Couldn't win the governor's race in California so they buy a recall vote.

4. They couldn't win all of the Texas congressional seats so they attempt to 'redistrict' the democrats out existence.

This typical of the evil side. They will 'win' by any means necessary.

8. You mean ,if Gore had been allowed to take office !!
I agree with another response that if Gore who won the 2000 election was allowed to take office,we would never have gone into Iraq ! Gore ,who is a much deeper thinker then bush ,would have had to think long and hard B/4 commiting one of our young men to die on foriegn soil . Then to top it off Gore sending young men to die for oil,I just dont see ! Lets face it if Gore wasnt denied his rightful place as President ,we would be in a much better place, in every aspect ! Thats why we need him to be drafted ,bush is more vunerable now, and Gore still polls the strongest ,when put up against bush !Also Gore did not just give up .He had no help from any fellow elected Dems ,the media had him painted as a sore loser. Once the supreme idiots made thier bogus rulling ,he had nowhere else to go ! Remember the moving speech that Gore gave when he conceded,it showed just what kind of man we where giving up ,for the mindless chimp, playing pResident !

10. Hah!
Can you imagine what would have happened had Gore's brother and members of his administration put in writing that in order to enact their agenda they needed another Pearl Harbor-like attack, then when given specific warnings of such an attack had taken a month-long vacation...Oh, man after practically being burned at the stake for saying he'd taken a trip with a director when it was, in fact, the deputy director, can you just imagine?

12. To appreciate the free pass Bush gets,
all we need to do is substitute "Gore" for "Bush" in nearly every major story of the past two and a half years. Ted Rall did just that in a brilliant column, "President Gore: A Look Back":

14. 911 would have
Gore had the same controlling interests in the middle east that Bush does. Maybe not to the same extent, but do some research and you'll see Gore's fingerprints all over Unical as well.

Remember, that pipeline deal was involved with Clinton too.

15. I don't think "carpet of gold" would've happened under Gore
Whatever ties Gore and Clinton may have had with the energy industry, I don't think there would've been anything on the scale of Cheney's energy cabal or the soured negotiations with the Taliban. IMO, 9/11 was MIHOP.

18. possibly
But even in the book where that line was pointed out, it wasn't exactly verified substancially. It was just kinda tossed out there.

I think think Gore had enough ties to Unical to make it plausable that he would have benefitted from a war in Afghanistan.

16. Yes
Democracy is dead in the USA. We are ruled by corporate fascists.
The Repiglicans would have impeached Gore by now on some pretext.
