"I believe only then, after Gore realized we were asking for more time to make room for him on our side, that he finally decided to support the resolution authorizing the use of force to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. " Sen Alan Simpson The problem here is that this is obviously a campaign hit piece by an admitted partisan, who has motivation to conveniently eliminate any other such negotiation among Senators. That said, it stinks, no matter which Senator(s) may do or have done this in the past, and unless Gore can make a defense he's an idiot. As you know, I didn't vote for him in any case. My criticism of you was your "repeat this 10,000 times" I would rather hear a response from Gore, after this partisan campaign piece by Simpson, before repeating this. I have other criticism of Gore, including the fact that he allowed himself to be duped by Republicans into not using Clinton in any part of the campaign, not even carrying his own state (those three electoral votes would have made Florida irrelevant), and failing to even make a feeble showing in the debates. He was not presidential material. The Florida vote wasn't Gore's decision in any case, it was the American people, and the entire state should have been done. The people surrounding Gore, unlike Bush, were weak in the extreme. He was certainly superior to W, but there's never been a lower bar since W. G. Harding. Neither candidate in that election were worthy of being in the race. Several of the third-party candidates outranked them intellectually, in force of character, and integrity. But as we've seen, third-party candidates are eliminated from debates by the Rep-Dem controlled debate committee. Whoever won would be no big deal, except we are seeing major changes in personal freedoms, and all-powerful government secrecy. That Bush Inc. is behind all this makes it a 20-year historical problem.
