I don't believe the President has ever been convicted of any crime. Correct me if I'm wrong. 1. Found in contempt of court for perjury. Might not meet your definition of "convicted of any crime" -- but nonetheless, a federal court found he violated the law. SOunds like criminal to me. 2. Regardless, your post is irrelevant. (And it's weak, which I don't exepct from you -- you're usually sharper than that). I never said he was convicted of a crime. So? I said he's a rapist and that he won't deny it nor will he initiate any legal action to defend himself from the charge. You falsely call me a rapist on national TV and you'd hear from my attorney in damn short order. His silence is deafening testimony about his opinion of the charges.

More Gore lies: Thursday, October 26, 2000 Reischauer: Gore Social Security Ad "Not Correct" New York Times Says Gore's Plan Requires Tax Increases Or More Debt Austin - The Los Angeles Times today reports that Robert D. Reischauer, the president of the Urban Institute, believes Al Gore's Social Security attack ad claiming Governor Bush promises the same $1 trillion for younger workers as he does current retirees is wrong. "The strain is showing not just between the two political camps but between each camp and some of its most durable allies. A recent Gore television ad accused Bush of promising to fund personal accounts with Social Security tax revenue 'needed to pay current benefits.' 'That's not correct,' said Robert D. Reischauer, president of the Urban Institute and usually a supporter of Gore's Social Security proposals." [LA Times, 10/26/00] "This confirms that when it comes to Social Security, Al Gore would rather scare seniors with false attacks than face the facts of his own inadequate plan," said Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett. "The facts are clear: Al Gore's status quo approach will result in higher taxes, benefit cuts, or increasing the national debt." New York Times Criticizes Gore Social Security Plan: Mr. Gore's plan would end the tradition of Social Security being wholly self-financed through the payroll tax, and in the long run would require higher taxes, reduced spending or additional government borrowing. Critics say the change would undermine support for Social Security by making it more like welfare than a pension, a pawn in the unceasing battle over taxes and spending. [New York Times, 10/26/00]
