Dear Kevin: I am so happy to see that at least one person on this thread sees through the BS. IMHO the less financially successful ALWAYS suffer when govt. expands in the manner Gore has in mind. Clinton stumbled, either knowingly or unknowingly on an excellent way to raise taxes and not say he did. That is through the use of fees and excise taxes, largely hidden from public view. However these things effect the masses far more then an income tax increase and IMHO are extremely regressive. I would expect more of the same from Gore. Yes, I have been to your site and it is excellent. I can tell you and all that as an Offroader, and as a member of Tread Lightly, the Audobon Society and the Nature Conservacy I am as interested in Ecology as the next person, but NOT TO THE EXCLUSION of the HUMAN RACE. Technology exists today to drill safely and cause little harm to the environment. To ignore it is ridiculous IMHO. JDN

Hi Fuzzymath, Sunday, November 5, 2000 *The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette* endorses George W. Bush for president. 4J** [snip] And yet this presidential endorsement is unprecedented for the "Democrat-Gazette". We've never before endorsed a presidential candidate, and the old "Democrat" never did, either, at least since 1974, when the paper acquired new owners. [snip] What a difference between the George W. Bush of only a few months ago and this confident and daily more focused leader. The change has been enough to revive our faith in presidential campaigns. [snip] This candidate seems to have grown at almost every turn, while his opponent-an experienced politician of articulate beliefs and great skills-hasn't. Al Gore is no longer wooden, yet his ideas seem ever more so. [snip] George W. Bush has delivered some sharp criticisms of his rival, but have you noticed that he does not attack the other "party"-as if he understood that a president must be president of all? And that, if elected, he will have to work with all? [snip] WHATEVER the question, George W. Bush's answer has been to give the people, not government, more power over our own lives, and more responsibility for them. As if he trusted us. Which may be why so many of us trust him. He seems to respect us-and, what a relief, he doesn't condescend to us. He's not afraid to talk about the over-riding importance of character, of family, of honor. And he doesn't hesitate when he speaks about such things, and about the need to restore a sense of honor and dignity to the presidency. [snip] Yet this endorsement would not be complete if we didn't pay our respects, and respect, to Al Gore. If he can play games with words and numbers with the best of them, and with the worst of them, there has never been any question about where he's coming from, and where he would lead the country. He makes no secret of his liberalism. After two terms of the Great Equivocator, it is good to have a candidate who doesn't hide or shift his beliefs, and even has some. In that sense he has been honest with us all. But though Al Gore is running tirelessly, and by now mechanically, in the name of the people, it is George W. Bush who seems willing to trust the people. Which is another reason why today we entrust him with our first presidential endorsement. ardemgaz.com
