Thanks Haqihana, that's nice of you to say. As an information junkie, it simply amazes me to see so many people supporting phonies like Al Gore. It's as if their memory is one day old every day. As an example, let's take a look at campaign finance reform. The press spins and spins the story making Al Gore look like some sort of reformer. Along with McCain. While painting a picture that George W has done something wrong by accepting legal contributions. When all along, it's Al Gore and McCain who have broken the spirit as well as the intent of the law! How anyone can believe Al Gore would set up a balanced system of campaign finance reform is ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that it was the Democrats who created the present system we have. Did they reform it when they controlled Congress and the Presidency? Of course they did, they reformed it by passing laws which ensured their reelection at a rate which made the politiburo envious. The biggest thing we could do to help alleviate the campaign finance problems is to simply pass "TERM LIMITS". Yet the press never talks about the fact that term limits (supported by upwards of 80% of Americans) was shot down by one vote in the Senate because Democrats overwhelmingly voted against it. Including Al Gore. The television is truly a propaganda machine being used by the left to subvert our freedoms. The lack of balance has never been so great as it is today. Nearly every political story is presented exactly the same. Every time Al Gore mentions campaign finance reform George W should simply say. "You're right Al, we need to reform the system by enforcing the laws and passing term limits. Will you give me your support, since you didn't in 94 when congress needed it and you accepted illegal contributions from foreigners". Michael
