You trying to campaign for Bush, insult all liberals, or are you just killing time?
I dare you to put one link to an article that speaks poorly of Bush's character, that you believe to be accurate. |

That rendering of John Fund says it all for me. You can easily judge this book by its cover. What a nerd!!

If one reads the article I referenced, this is NOT a campaign for Bush but rather a commentary on flawed polling and its impact on voter turnout which is what I thought was the subject of the post.

Sorry,
I thought this was a footbal topic since it contained the words "14 point lead." Every day it seems that I make a similar mistake. |

I originally looked at this election as another distasteful exercise of picking the evil of two lessors. I started off with two equally low opinions of Bush and Gore. While my opinion of bush (still fairly low) has increased somewhat my opinion of Gore has steadily declined. This is a rather amazing accomplishment considering how low he started in the first place.
Still wishing for a " NONE OF THE ABOVE" lever to pull but, seeing Bush as the least offensive of the two.<BR> |

14 points lead, 13 point lead, whatever. Even the detection of a potential flaw in one of the polls does not reverse the trend. And the trend is, the more Americans listen to the candidates, the more they decide to go with the Demos. Americans will stay the course.
Anyone have information on where the "I invented the internet" thing came from? I heard that there was some kinda discussion amongst our leaders regarding the nature of how the internet would be regulated. Way back when the average Joe was just hooking up. Gore made some kinda speech that the internet was going to huge and important in the extreme, which was news to some legislators. Then, years later, he refered to his influence on the proceedings as "instrumental." But now people are saying they heard him say, "I invented the internet." Did anyone really hear him say that? Or was he simply referring to recognizing its importance earlier than many other government dudes? ------------------ Lick Bush in 2000 !!! |

I'm not a Gore supporter, but word of mouth gave him a raw shot on this one.
Gore never said he invented the Internet. In fact, he said he was one of the people responsible for the creationg of the "commercial internet" and he was. He was the Senator that sponsored the bill to take the Dept. of Defense network, the University network, and make them public. ------------------ Parker [b]ChiefsPlanet Administrator[/b] [i]Jimmy Raye for President...anything to get him out of Kansas City[/i] [i]More Moreau</I> |

Duck: It has been cited in many places. The actual quote was:
“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” CNN Interview, March 9,1999. |
