Not to start an argument on the points here, but what politician hasn't lied or stretched the truth? Unfortunately it is a way of life, on both sides of the aile...

DaWolf - I agree that politicians have done anything imaginable to be elected. But when blatant [b][i]LIES[/b][/i] like those listed above come to light, one should be called to the mat and asked to explain himself.
I hope George W. does just that during the debates. |

DanT - Tough break for Nader, he did not get the backing of the Teamsters as he expected. Al's lies helped seal that one up.

[i]He tells the Teamsters a touching story how his mother would sing lullabies to him in his cradle. One of his favorites was the ageless classic "look for the union label". Endearing isn't it? Too bad the tune was constructed in 1975 and not mass produced until 1977. So unless Al had his mother singing to him at the ripe age of TWENTY-SEVEN I guess we can assume this is yet another falsehood.[/i]
Well, Al did invent the internet, so maybe his mother wrote that song... [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ------------------ Lightening Crashes... and i am there... |

Does Algore actually belive that he can get away with this kind of stuff? Surely he knew that he would get caught. Or does he even know what he's saying when he says it? Maybe in his mind this stuff is true. I mean to say something crazy like the fact that he invented the net is crazy. Everyone knows it isn't true, so why say something like that unless you belive it? I for one think the man is mentaly sick. Vote for Dubba', Algore IS A RISKY SCHEME!

Al Gore a risky scheme? He's been in there for 8 years now, and anything risky that hasn't happened yet, won't happen. Bush is the one to be scared of. He brings strong religous issues into government, which church and state should NOT be mixed. He has a narrow mind and is not the man to lead this country. No, I don't vote along party lines. I vote for the better candidate. I wanted Bush Sr. in '92. This year, I see Gore as clearly the better candidate. The only Bush argument I support is getting rid of affirmative action. Everything else I disagree with.

First of all, Algore is delerious wich makes him risky. He also wants to increase the size of our government the likes of wich have not been seen before in this country. In other words more government controll on our lives; VERY RISKY. Secondly as to Bush and religion, I have not heard him say he is going to impose his beliefs on us. Further more the Founding Fathers did not mean that they wanted religion to stay out of government, but rather government stay out of religion. Besides that both Algore and Joe Lieberman claim that religion plays a big part in there lives. Algore has even stated that he ask What Would Jesus Do when making decisions. Sorry but your point doesn't hold water.

DaKCMan - So if you disagree with religion being brought into the mix, then you disagree with Al's choice for VP?

If Lieberman is only in office to spread his religous views, then yes I disagree with him. However, I think he will be in office to do his job. It shouldn't matter if he's Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or whatever...I blame the press for making such a big deal out of this.

If I remember correctly, and I always do, this countrywas founded on the principle of freedom OF religion, not freedom from religion.
The fact that Bush is a "religious" person does not mean that he will try to sway the supreme court to change the laws it has so freely screwed with. There is no provision in the constitution that seperates church and state, it states that the state will NOT determine my religion or yours. It has nothing to do with religion in schools or anything other than what it says. Before our forefathers came to this country they were told what religion they could be, here they were free to choose their religion. I would bet our forefathers are rolling over in their graves seeing the way we have allowed our country to go to hell in a hand basket. I could go on, but...after all this is a football BB. ------------------ Nuc'em all and let those who remain sort them out! |

Just once, I'd like to see a topic like "Bush will make a great President because......" instead of constantly whining about the "other guy". EVERY TIME any of you Bush and/or Gore backers talk politics on this BB, all you can do is point out something negative about your candidate's opponent, as if that somehow makes your preferred candidate a better person.

Clint,
I've never seen you point out anything positive about ANYBODY [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] If you're not seeing positive things said about Bush, you're not reading myself, Bliss, Morphius, Titus, Logical, and many others. Luz i left a lot of people off the list... |
