What I am not conservative about is racism, big oil and big money buying elections, Well you sure have a funny way of showing it.... First, you want to support a candidate who has helped to STRIP this nation of whatever semblance of energy independence it might have had... And you support a candidate who is trying to buy the election by offering one of the largest government entitlement programs in history... If that isn't cognitive dissonance, I don't know what is... Let's face some facts here... I think Bush would have been MORE inclined to see more money go to paying off debt, but when Gore came out with his government healthcare program, he was pushed into offering something similar.... Yeah... Gore is proposing something they even Clinton didn't have the guts to pursue over the past 8 years. And what he wants is an American electorate who is even more dependent on governmental services..

<<I am a fiscal conservative and conservative about conservation. What I am not conservative about is racism, big oil and big money buying elections, old boys networks, keeping women from having choice and going back to a Cold War mentality about the world we live in. That is why it's Gore all the way. >> Then PLEASE address the MASSIVE support of Gore by Goldman Sachs & Citi-Group! Just how is Big Oil any worse than Big Banking? Big oil is at least more willing to pay their average worker a decent living wage than Big Banking.
