If Al Gore wins on Nov. 7, we can doubtless expect more appeasement of tyrants -- large and small. Sen. Joe Lieberman has recently said that he "respects" Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and that a meeting between the two would be a "great idea." Same principle: appease. jewishworldreview.com

McCain is just towing the GOP line now. He knows GW is a lightweight and he knows he wasn't beaten by GW, he was beaten by the GOP machine that wanted GW. Ralph Nader's description of GW as being 'a corporation running for president posing as a person' suddenly seems pretty darn accurate when you consider how superior candidate McCain was steamrolled out of the way by the machine.

American Spirit--I was attempting to give an objective view on McCain. Granted my comments didn't take into account McCain's baggage. However, McCain was and is well-liked by the American people. Given Gore's problems--largely due from Republican smear--were Gore in a similar situation today against McCain and if nothing heavy came out against McCain, McCain would be in the driver's seat. I closed my line of thinking with McCain's primary issue: Campaign finance reform. Of the two candidacies of Bush and Gore, even without the drunk driving thing (a variant of "the vision thing"), Gore is the one most likely to champion McCain's campaign finance reform issue. Also noteworthy is that if Bush didn't have all that Big Money and family connections workin' for him, in effect drawing attention away from his personal life, money and whispering instead coordinated to smear Gore, Bush's past indescretions, the drunk driving story, and other incidents maybe, might have gotten snuffed out much earlier by the press. If anything, what happened, is a strong indicator as to why Bush didn't want ANY press conferences leading up to the election. His last one held was in the second week of September.
