- I've concluded that Al Gore will return us to $200 bill/year deficits; jack up interest rates; & be bad for America - Here's my proof - & please note I've voted for Ross Perot & others - I'm an independent - here goes: - Gore came to Congress in '76 - total debt only $654 bill - Gore & his Democrat allies owned Congress & Presidency for 4 years. They took the $654 bill debt; went on a spending spree; & handed incoming Prez Reagan a debt of almost $1 trill - Gore & Democrats forced Prez Reagan & later Bush to accept massive spending increases (I do fault both for not standing up to the Democrats) - In '92, Clinton/Gore got elected & it was 1976 all over again. From '92 to '94, debt went from $4 trill to $4.7 trillion. (Democrats owned Congress & Presidency) - In '94 Republicans took back Congress for the first time in 40 years. Immediately, Clinton vetoed spending bills & Clinton shut down the Gov't - In '2000, due to Republicans such as Trent Lott & Dennis Hastert, we will close about breakeven. - Republicans & Bush: Read my lips: you're doing a good job on the debt. I trust you to fix soc security & medicare. You have my vote on Nov 7, 2000 - P.S. - Gore's latest promise is not to add more employees to the Federal Payroll. Yet he's proposed almost 300 new programs. Gore's record is one of racking up debt; he's a serial exaggerator; & nothing Gore says can be beieved publicdebt.treas.gov

I see the panic is setting in. The Gore team now is trying to swap votes between states. What they want is to get Nader supporters to agree to vote for Gore in battleground states with the promise an equal number of Gore supporters will vote for Nader in states Gore has already written off as unwinable. Is this a legal act to buy/trade votes? They are trying to manipulate the voting process probably illegally and definitely unethically. I understand there are several sites on the internet now that tries to match up Gore voters with Nader voters. The consideration is that Nader needs 5% of the vote in order to get matching funds in the next election. Gorites are trying to trade with Nader's group to give them the 5% but move the votes to states they can't win.
