Bush solemnly swears to the American People. Quote:``Anyway, after we go out and work our hearts out, after you go out and help us turn out the vote, after we've convinced the good Americans to vote, and while they're at it, pull that old George W. lever, if I'm the one, when I put my hand on the Bible, when I put my hand on the Bible, that day when they swear us in, when I put my hand on the Bible, I will swear to not -- to uphold the laws of the land,'' Does this sound like a man you want in the most important job in the world negotiating with foreign leaders, leading the Midest peace talks and being responsible for our financial and social policies? Or is he expecting Dick "let me drill everywhere" Cheney to run the country for him while he goes on Oprah? GW is reminding me more and more of a slicker version of Dan Quayle. Got it all without working for it and now he's just not prepared. A great smoozer with good telegenics but he makes Reagan look like a genius. Definitely vote Gore.

Al Gore, today: "I want to give more inclusion, investment and growth. I want to have the kinds of priorities in this country that enable us to have more jobs. The engine of growth is the private sector." If Gore wants more investment, why does he oppose the Bush tax cuts? What does he think the rich are going to do with what they receive, put it under a mattress? Wrong, it will be invested to fund new companies and provide more jobs for American workers. Also, if "the engine of growth is the private sector", why is Gore constantly bashing oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.? Americans work at those companies and have their pensions and 401k's invested in those companies. Why does Gore want so much tear apart the economy he so loudly claims credit for? kfarnham@fuzzymath.com
