Since Gore accepted no contributions from anyone, I guess I should support him. Thanks for the info. It's about time we had a candidate that had no one he thought he had to pay off. Have a good day. alan w

Gore is one of the biggest hypocrites regarding tobacco in the nation. We've documented and exposed it here for months.

2000: The Great Liberal Meltdown... On July 22, Democrat presidential hopeful Algore stood in all his majesty on the banks of the Connecticut River in Cornish, New Hampshire. He described early memories growing up on the Tennessee waterways, and talked about his children. He claimed that's what inspired him to recommend to President Clinton the American Heritage Rivers Initiative. Since the Connecticut had just become an official American Heritage River, candidate Algore was handing out $819,000 in federal money. It gave him a priceless opportunity to take a brave stand in favor of clean water. "To me," he intoned, "these are more than public policy issues, they are moral issues. We have to make the 21st century the time we right the environmental wrongs of the past." Of course, no one will remember any of that. What they will remember is what happened just before the speech. The Vice President had canoed down the river with NH Gov. Jeanne Shaheen. Others including John Kassel, director of the Vermont Dept. of Natural Resourses, went along. It was a nice outing,an uneventful paddle---made possible by the fact that four billion gallons water had been released into the river that morning. Just for Algore. And the cameras. Yes that's right---- the Secret Service had asked local utility officials to raise the river level so the canoes wouldn't hit bottom. Apparently the natural depth of this great American Heritage River is not sufficient to keep Algore afloat, and the Secret Service ordered up a fix. Billions of gallons were released from the dam, and the river rose 8 inches. Hours after the Environmental Vice President left the area, the Connecticut---and nature in general--- went back to normal..... The whole affair apparently didn't sit well with Mr. Kassel, and the next day The Washington Times had a story. "They won't release water for the fish when we ask them to, but somehow they find themselves able to release it for a politician." Kassel told The Times. The story made the wires, and by the weekend everyone in Washington was yukking it up. "The only reason they did this was to make sure the Vice President's canoe didn't get stuck." said Kassel Naturally, many who heard this story instantly pictured the one thing the Gore team was trying to avoid: Algore's canoe....stuck in the mud, a perfect image for his hapless presidential campaign. Others joked about the 4 billion gallons needed to flush him down the river, and immediately went to "South Park" themes. Remember: You live by the photo op.... You die by the photo op... And they are dying by the photo op.. How'bout fake New Yorker Hillary Clinton, a Yankees baseball cap squashing her hairdo... LOL!!!!!!!!!

I love people like you. You are satisfied to USE the energy that the great state of Texas produces for you, but you then turn and point your finger at the pollution caused by production of YOUR energy needs,, but then you don't want it in YOUR backyard...what a hypocrite. I think your position is very unfair.

<He believes more in oil & business profits than protecting the planet we live on for future generations. This fact cannot be denied as anyone who would drill for oil in a protective wildlife refuge cares only about one thing...> DUH...and you would prefer the present scenario...continuing to be held "hostage" by the camel jockey OPEC thugs??? GO HUG A TREE!!

"I respect Gore for taking a stand against tobacco as it destroys many many lives. And he was willing to give up the votes of his own state because of his beliefs? Now there's a man I admire. " I guess you haven't heard the tape of all Gore speaking to tobacco farmers. He boasted how he planted it raised it succured it (don't know what that means). By the way this was after his tearful speech at the Democratic convention where he pledged to avenge the death of his sister with his dying breath. I suggest you read the following article which points out the cruel nature of both candidates. lewrockwell.com
