Article...THE AL GORE SHOW
ER, DEBATE.... SURE

By: Barbara Stanley
etherzone.com

Wearing Ronald Reagan’s hair and make-up, (unmistakable red apple cheeks), saying “Well,” repeatedly, Al Gore emoted with all the charm of Janet Reno and Mortimer Snerd. No matter how hard he tries to loosen up, he has a wooden neck. He has a wooden head. Let’s face it, he is worse than the tin man, he is the no man. Raised in the beltway, he has no clue about the world in which we live. Numbers, percentages, sad stories about folks I have never heard of --a student named Kayla actually stands in class for want of chair??? At the school taxes I pay??? What the hell are you doing with our confiscatory school taxes anyway, Al??? Talk about being removed from the actual citizenry—you know, us “out there” in the hinterland, to whom the bills actually come due. Must admit, Al gives himself away when he draws the line between us and him… guess St. Albans didn’t have the Cuban style community labor, er, service when Al was in private school, eh? Ever made a house payment? Ever pumped gas? Ever actually worn jeans enough to break them in and make them soft? Notwithstanding the mule plowing (no, really, he claims this!) or the tobacco growing I have serious doubts a callous ever formed on his hands. Although I cannot say that about the rest of him. Several calloused parts come to mind, but I digress.
Well, allow me to enlighten you, Mr. Reinventing-Government, what you call “streamlining and more efficient”, is right up there with the meaning of ‘you’re your bloated government, hell, even your very first plan for the congress was printed on the most expensive stock with color charts and photos, damn the cost! You words are now reversed as soon as they enter our well-informed minds. Thank your good buddy, the rapist in chief for that one, only too bad you just don’t have the natural shuck and jive to sell it. If ever I saw an archetypal ‘used car salesman’, it was last night and made up to look like Susan McDougal (sans hotpants and horse) and his drag name was Al.

When Al brought up his “service” (ahem) to our country in Viet Nam, all I thought was yeah, GW didn’t have that valuable experience of manning a desk in a safe zone. I can easily see all the character Al developed in wartime as he bravely and with great valor searched the desks earning his ‘New Typewriter Ribbon with White-out Cluster’. Cripes.

Am I the only one who sees Al as the snotty preppy who’s specialite is sucking up to authority whilst stepping on the ‘little people’ to get to the top? And Al, what the hell is with all that swaying? A Jolson impersonation? Gonna break into a chorus of “Mammy”? Been kicking back with some cocaine laced pot watching Stevie Wonder videos? And I bet you think you are so just cool. Self-delusional more like it.

And who the hell is keeping time here during this so-called debate, which more resembles a filibuster by the man who has had eight years of a partnership to fix things he still ‘promises’ to “fix”? Talk about ‘fix’, if Jim Lehrer is any barometer, I think it’s ‘in’ and Al will dominate any debate as long as the time keeper is in Al’s hip pocket, or would that be, as is the case with most of the propaganda machine we laughingly refer to as ‘the dominant media’, up Al’s ass.

Body language can tell a great deal about a person. I watched Al’s eyes dart around, up and down, back and forth coupled with the assorted Reagan moves. I also heard, along with every one else, his sighs of exasperation and I am well aware of the rudest interrupting as a sign of the true socialist. God forbid a shred of truth creep in anywhere. We’ve all seen this when we watch any talk show with both conservatives and leftists. As soon as the conservative expresses a lucid thought, boom! That incredible voice of-- say a Susan Estridge -- blasts into the mix and along with sending the animals running for the door, completely obscures any coherent speech.

They do it all the time, the leftists just cannot help themselves from showing a complete lack of decorum, of any shred of manners or comportment. Geeze, Louise, where were they when the rest of us were civilizing our behavior and manners? These are, without doubt, the absolute worst manners possible and all from those who would dictate our behavior. What gall. (I’d write ’balls’, but have seen no evidence among the leftist men. The women, on the other hand, are a different matter, a very sad matter, for they have not the least idea of what to do with them.) Reminds me of Hitlery when she thinks her ‘village’ would know more about raising children than I, a bone fide mother, knows. Yeah, lady, as if. This behavior is textbook schizophrenia, an out of whack mind, separated from reality.

As I watched, I yearned for W to ask Al about the sale of that Naval Fuel Reserve to Occidental Petroleum, a direct benefit to Al himself and a dangerous detriment to our military, all while the Chinese commies build up to move against us. And where was that question? Why the hell didn’t W ask Al about that transfer of the best American military technology to the communists who want us enslaved? Good grief, it still, in some way, looks unreal, surreal that I must remind myself, yes, the President and his cohorts, among them Hitlery and Al, sold us out to our enemy and used our own money to do it...!)

I would like to hear Al’s response to why he flooded an upstate river for a photo op, wasting millions of gallons of water during a drought, while posing as an environmentalist in canoe with paddle upraised, precious water reflecting off the eyes of those who farm here? Or what about the answer to Al’s being part of the first tax increase in history to be distinctive twofold: the largest ever and the first tax hike to be retroactive. I think I would actually pay money to here Al’s answer to his forking over those billions to the Russian Mafia? I would be eager to hear what Al says about locking up all that clean burning, low sulfur coal in the Clintonian ‘monument’ to America’s ‘Heritage’ (read here, UN ownership) in Utah. This is notable: for it effectively left the only global market to remain in Kalimantan, Indonesia, coincidentally owned by the Riady LIPPO Group, big donors to the DNC and the Clintons personally. Yeah, such a coincidence.

I trust these questions and many others will be raised in the next two debates. Very interesting times in which we live.

PartyTime, when Al Gore and his fellow Democrats think it makes sense for truck drivers and waitresses to subsidize rich elderly people by paying for their drugs. Something is missing in brain power.

Think about this... A waitress making 20 grand a year could be paying for Warren Buffet's prescription drugs under Gore's plan! Does that make sense to you PartyTime??

It's stupid! Plain and simple. And anyone with half-a-brain would admit it.

So why don't Democrats admit Al Gore's plan is stupid. Very simple. They want to get the elderly vote. They know that elderly people vote in far greater numbers than the average population, and they're going for Florida's electoral votes. It's as simple as that. They're playing politics on the backs of hard working average americans in order to stay in power.

Anyone who has followed politics knows when the Democrats controlled the Presidency and both houses of congress they did NOTHING in regard to prescription drugs. They could have passed any darn thing they wanted to in Clinton's first two years. And it was never even addressed. Where was Al Gore then??

On the contrary, what was addressed was raising taxes on the elderly.

Stupid socialism sounds wonderful during the campaign season. Vote for us, we make this or that free. We've even had some Democrats on this thread claim prescription drugs for the elderly will be free.

In the real world. Nothing is free. And some young American will be paying for prescription drugs under Al Gore's socialistic model. We're already spending over 2 trillion dollars on government programs under the guise of helping everyone. When will we be spending enough?

Following the European model of socialism is the worst thing we could do for America. Why do you think people are fleeing those countries and coming to America? I'll tell you, it's because of opportunity. Opportunity exists because we value liberty and freedom over state control. The more power the state has, and the more money the state takes from it's citizens. The more government power grows and individual liberty shrinks.

Make no mistake. A vote for WhopperAl is a vote for bigger government and more state control over our lives. A vote for Al Gore is a vote for higher and higher taxes, more regulations, and more bureaucracy. A vote for Al Gore is a vote against liberty and freedom.

When you cut through the bull... The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans would like to see every American have the opportunity to become as wealthy as Bill Gates. And Democrats want to outlaw it because they think "it's just not fair"!

Democrats believe we have an economic pie and it's a specific unchangeable size, which only grows as long as government makes it grow. Therefore, we must slice up the pie into equal parts so it's fair.

Republicans believe the pie can be enlarged beyond our wildest imaginations, as long as liberty remains our highest ideal, our people remain free, and our government doesn't stomp on us with their oppressively high taxes, regulations, and desire for control over our lives.

re: Somehow, I think you forget that money easily can be used as a form of control over people's lives.

How can we forget that? That's what keeps the demolibs as powerful as they are. How many folks living on income levels above poverty, provided solely by Uncle Sam, are going to vote Republican? zilch.knc
