What choice is there in this election? I assume you're voting for the proto-fascist Gore?

You a teatotalter or rabid democrat? I don't get what the big deal is. Didn't Shrub admit a long time ago that he had a big problem with alcohol and stopped drinking altogether? Gore would probably have one too if he had ever driven a car in his life. -g-

john, did you happen to catch Ross Perot on Larry King last night? He talked about how Gore shopped his vote on the Gulf war and demanded a long prime time spot to speak on the floor. In addition, he also talked about hoe gore has misrepresented his service in Viet Nam when he claimed to be on patrol in the jungle. Gore is a liar. Mike

Re: DUI - the fact of a DUI conviction on my vote would depend on the BAC - blood alcohol level, and the circumstances. Back in 1976, it was socially acceptable to drive home from a party after having some drinks. I did it, everyone I knew did it. A lot of those people are now doctors, lawyers, judges, college professors, respectable businessmen and businesswomen. Times have changed. It's no longer socially acceptable, and it's no longer tolerated. I don't judge yesterday's behavior by today's standards. I am not relentlessly PC, so I am not a Democrat.

If the BAC was very high, say .16 or over, I would think he was irresponsible at the time. Even more so if he had caused an accident, which he didn't. Either way, I think he's demonstrated good character and good judgment since then, so my support for him hasn't wavered.

We all knew that the Democrats would pull out an "October Surprise" if they could. Remember Walsh indicting Weinberger, et al, the Friday before the 1992 election? Typical Clintonian smear tactics. Gore used to smoke dope, and he dropped out of graduate school, and didn't finish law school, and his SAT scores are lower than Bush's, does that affect your vote? I expect not.
