You know? You guys ought to check Wikipedia once in a while. I typed in Al Gore Internet and got an impressive page on what Al Gore actually accomplished. Here's a part: "24 Jun 1986: Albert Gore introduced S 2594 Supercomputer Network Study Act of 1986 [4] As a Senator, Gore began to craft the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 (commonly referred to as "The Gore Bill" [5]) after hearing the 1988 report Toward a National Research Network [6] submitted to Congress by a group chaired by UCLA professor of computer science, Leonard Kleinrock, one of the central creators of the ARPANET (the ARPANET, first deployed by Kleinrock and others in 1969, is the predecessor of the Internet). [7] Indeed, Kleinrock would later credit both Gore and the Gore Bill as a critical moment in Internet history: The bill was passed on Dec. 9, 1991 and led to the National Information Infrastructure (NII) [9] which Gore referred to as the " information superhighway". President George H. W. Bush predicted that the bill would help "unlock the secrets of DNA," open up foreign markets to free trade, and a promise of cooperation between government, academia, and industry. [10]" There's a lot more on that page including that ARPANET led to Mosaic, which is the beginning of all browsers. Needless to say, Al Gore knows one hell of lot more about networking than you do.

You have recited nothing BUT slogans. No facts, no logic, and weak moral reasoning.Pretty much every post I have seen from you is the opposite of the truth. BINGO! A walking encyclopedia of dopey talking points, very few if any factual or true.

Tell me this. When republicans told you their ad "repeal and replace" did you personally ask your senator or representative for a copy so you could review it? Did he send you copies of their plan five years ago, eight years ago etc? or is an ad just an ad and you know it's an ad? You see, I know you know it's an ad and I know you don't care it's only an ad. Governing is about doing things, not manipulating people into thinking they're doing something.
