Gore is a congenital liar. I don't think he can even help himself. It is being discovered today that he lied about going to Texas during the fires in 1996. He nearest visit to Texas was in 1998 and had nothing to do with the fires. He lied about the young girl in Sarasota. Reporters talked with the Principal of the school and they said she was a transfer in and the first day there was not an extra desk but the next day there was a desk for her. The reporter inferred there are other areas they are investigating. Gores claims regarding Bushes tax cut is one area. The other might be the older lady who picks up cans but has a nice home, a new car, and a Winnebago. I really think Gore is a congenital liar. It could be very dangerous in his dealing with foreign leaders and our leaders of Congress. Plus, the people will never know what the truth really is. One thing that nearly everyone seems to say about Bush is he is straightforward and honest. I thought his conduct last night exemplified that fact.

Sheesh. What is the big deal. Gore wanted an example of over crowded classrooms to make a point. He picked the wrong one. His point still has merit. Large numbers of students per classroom is not good. He could have made the point without this particular poor example. Either he misread the circumstances or somebody gave him bad information. I don't think he is above lying, but I don't see this as one. This thing is being spun in so many directions that both the pro and con are losing credibility.

My favorite line by Gore was when he was asked if he supported school vouchers he said no. He went on to say that he would tear down schools that did not work. Gee, how many students would be without a desk then? Does he have any idea how long it would take to rebuild a school? The guy is delusional yet people buy his illogic. Al Gore is a Demagogue, dividing people against one another to get what he wants. BK
