Did you expect Gore to have the same opinions 16 years later? LOL!! That was the say thing my wife said... However, I responded that Gore's attitude changed from 1988 to 1991, a space of only 3 years, and remarkably consistent with the presidential election cycle (both of which he participated in.. ;) But this jibes with his previous support for tobacco farmers, claiming that he was a proud tobacco farmer himself, and 1996, where he made a sick emotional appeal against smoking based upon his sister's death from cancer.. (smoking too much of daddy Gores tobacco harvest)... It's just the hypocrisy Zeev... The blatant reversal on major fundamental moral principles. And it's just like that gay Gore political aid stated... He's convinced himself that Al really cares about Gays... But what Gore cares about are VOTES, nothing more, nothing less.. And were it to profit his campaign to leave gays by the wayside (assuming the democrats suddenly become anti-gay), he would do so in a heartbeat. Btw, Al Gore was apparently well known for spending his divinity school college days getting seriously "baked". So much so, that he failed many of his courses there. Do we want a "pothead" for president? And while Gore has admitted his pot smoking, Bush has not discussed his past "habits" except with regard to drinking. It is unfortunate when people find themselves being open about their past, how quickly people take the opportunity to attack them. It like they forget that everyone lives in a glass house...
