How many other Presidents do you know of who flunked out of college and received nearly straight F's? Al Gore is not street smart. He's simply been giving a silver spoon and was able to hire people in order to invent his image. The real Al Gore is a vapid, F student, who was willing to play straight man for Bill Clinton's scandal ridden administration. Only blinded Democratic party sheep would believe Al Gore has anything in common with the "working family". A term he appears to be using in every other sentence. Hopping from one limousine to another throughout his life, could not possibly have prepared him to protect the "working family". Or work in their best interest. The only thing Al Gore cares about is power. Power over our freedoms and liberty. He wants to make decisions for our children's education, our money, our society and our life. His handlers (many of which are complete socialists) want to transfer as much power to the central government as they think possible. Al Gore is simply their mouthpiece and figure-head. Americans who believe it's good to transfer more and more power and authority to the central government are simply wrong. They mistakenly assume their lives will get better if the government does more for them. Takes more money, or starts a new program. Nothing could be further from the truth. In order to have a free country, you need people who have the courage to believe in themselves. We can choose what educational institution is best for our children and family. So give us vouchers, end the monopolistic government grip on the classroom and put parents in charge. We can more wisely spend our income better than the government can. So give us a tax break and watch the economy continue to flourish with new business start-ups. We can provide for our old age retirement, save and invest wisely. So let us invest part of the 15% which goes to the government social security system. We can, or the government can. That's the central question of this campaign. It's a defining moment in American history. We are either going to follow the European countries toward the socialistic model. Or, we are going to break free, believe in ourselves, our fellow citizens, and move toward liberty and freedom again. Michael
