>>>Just curious, do Gore supporters actually like the guy? After looking at the debate, you can tell he will do/say anything to get elected. Don't get me wrong, he is on top of the issues, but he's the prickky kid that we all hated in school grown up. He is a spoiled rich kid mama's boy.<<< Wherever is says Gore above, substitute the name Bush. If you'll do that, I'll agree with ya--they're both like that! >>>Don't you kinda want to actually like the guy your gonna vote for? Gore is just so weird and artificial. He is clearly a fake, and will tell a crowd anything he thinks they want to hear. All politicians are like that to a degree. But Gore is just unlikeable. I mean, Clinton is a scumbag but at least is a likeable guy.<<< It's gonna come down to who'd you like to live with you in your household over the next four years. They're both bad. However, of the two of 'em, I think Gore is more likely to be in tune with those who need the most; Bush's policies will ignore too many! Add in the consideration as to who'd appoint the best Supreme Court justices, and I think the nod for the presidence, again, goes to Gore. >>>Gore is one of the most partican (sp?) politicians, he can never win over republicans in congress because he's such a jerk. Bush has proven in Texas he is a concensus builder, that's what it's all about if you to pass legislation.<<< I disagree. Just because the Bush family was able to 'buy into' Texas Assembly Leader Bullock, a Democrat, does not make him a consensus builder. Regarding Republicans in Congress, I suspect we're gonna see a lot less of 'em after this election. Heck, The GOPwingers didn't even wanna showcase 'em during the Philadelphia Convention. >>>Please don't let me have to endure that big phony for 4 years!<<< Gore has done more than you give him credit for; Bush has done less than the credit you give to him. Incidentally, because I live in Massachusetts, I will vote for the candidate of my choice--heck, my candidates never win! But, unlike Dick Cheney who only voted twice during the past 16 elections, I keep voting. Why? I feel it's my civic duty.

Read the big Variety Fair article on Bush. Boy is that scary. To think a loafer and such a hollow man could end up president. So insincere beneath the facade. A great smoozer but otherwise pure nepotism. Fighting to get out from under daddy's shadow.

Barger, Gore is very likeable, very sincere, very skmart, very caring, hardworking as hell. Bush may be likeable but he lacks the other four qualities. I have met Gore and he is instantly a man you respect for all the right reasons. His dedication is awesome to serving the people and the many issues he believes in. Bush doesn't "do policy". He's just got a great name and a great facade. And talk about spoiled rich kids. C'mon. Bush raised 370 million from daddy's friends to dig oil wells and lost all of it. He got the Texas Rangers 17 mill sweetheart deal because of his name while daddy was president. He never went to the office but loved owning part of a baseball team. He's dyslexic and used to drink and coke a lot but won't admit it. He talks about honesty but he won't talk about his avoiding military service either. Just lies about our military being weak when Gore actually has a higher expenditure on the military that Bush has. And a lot of Bush's military expenditure will go for Star Wars, the worst decision and the biggest boondoggle imaginable. And don't even think about Bush being anything but terrible for the environment or gas prices.
