>>mean and uncaring AlGore campaigns in black churches telling them Republicans don't want them counted in the census when the reality is that the Supremes have ruled that an "actual enumeration" means what it says. AlGore shakedowns Buddhist nuns in their temple. He didn't know the "contrbutions" came from people who had taken a vow of poverty. AlGore lied and said his family was so traumatized by his sister's death that they stopped the tobacco farming when in fact they stopped years later. His sister became, in that lie, just another political prop. AlGore claims to be a Vietnam veteran. Did you know that AlGore flunked out of law school and his Dad, the Senator, secured him a job as a Stars and Stripes reporter to avoid combat? Some veteran. As for McCain, his assault on the 1st Amendment is unacceptable. No matter how great the personal need to assuage his manifest guilt for being one of the notorious "Keating Five", he has no right to assault the Constitution by trying to limit political speech. I applaud George Will each and every time he makes mincemeat of McCain's positions. McCain, unlike Bush, is a truly scary guy.

This is the sort of stuff that I am supposed to take seriously?: He got out of the Vietnam war and became a pilot in the Texas guard despite failing the intelligence test. "His score on the pilot aptitude section, one of five on the test, was in the 25th percentile, the lowest allowed for would-be fliers." --Dallas News. A. It was not an intelligence test. B. He didn't fail, but got a score in the percentile that was the "lowest allowed would be fliers". C. It has never been demonstrated that he personally pulled any strings, and the one allegation against his father is single- sourced. D. As I posted extensively a few weeks ago, the Air National Guard was used extensively during Korea, and there was no way to be sure one would not be sent overseas.
