Full Version: Why Al Gore Lost The Last Election...
FCP Poker Forum > Daniel's Forums > Daniel's Poker Blog
newbie
My first post here, and I was a passive reader until Al Gore's topic came up. I like Al Gore. I think he could've made a wonderful president. He made two big mistakes in running for his last presidency. He had Lieberman as his running mate and he refused to have Clinton get involve in his campaign. He was deftly afraid of Clinton's sexual liason tainting his campaign and he tried to distance himself from Clinton as much as possible. That was a big mistake.

Secondly, I could never understand his choice as a running mate. Lieberman????!!!! Not only is he a moderate, but he was the worst choice as far as running mate is concerned.

Last report says that whatever progress made by Clinton administration in preserving the environment has been wiped out by Bush's relentless lack of regard for the environment. He overturned 50 years environmental laws all for the sake of big corporation. Essentially Bush is ruining this country and not enough good people to stand up to him.

Gore/Obama would make a fantastic team. It is too bad Gore decided not to run. This country needs Gore, and he may need to reconsider.

to ge tthe word out...he could have programmed into the internet a forced popup with his list of accomplishments and his statements...he can do that right, he has some control over it the net would think, he invented it for crying out loud

I think the OP made some good points about Gore losing the elction. It was pretty much his to lose, and he lost it.

I like Lieberman though, so I disagree that he was a bad choice.


But the most important thing to remember is that after 5 recounts..Gore LOST. Everytime he lost.

It wasn't stolen from him, the republicans didn't take it, the Supreme Court didn't appoint Bush the winner. Gore lost, everytime they counted.

And that's even after the democrats threw out 19K votes from service men and women serving their country overseas, but the military was a little slow getting the ballots to Florida so the demoncrats just DISENFRANCHISED the military.


And now that Algore is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, Rush Limbaugh is also nominated, so Gore's going to lose again!


Gore = loser
Muck, You Suckers!
Ummmm scuze me. But Gore wasn't in the "last election". Gore was in the election before last. Kerry lost last election.

This is a called a straw man. Just because you claim she committed atrocities, doesn't make that true. So therefore I do not have to support atrocities in order to like Tipper.


Next week we will work on puncuation

Oh, so witty and clever.

I'm assuming you haven't discussed anything with me before so obvious sarcasm and teasing probably... well, isn't that obvious to you.



Tell me, why do you support her fighting attempts at censorship?




and about me

dont worry

we wont be working on punctuation anytime soon

my thoughts are clear wink.gif
tater nuts
You are all wrong! It wasn't about his running mate, his wife, how he debates, or his decision to exclude Clinton from his campaign. Al Gore lost the election because America thought that Bush would be a better person to drink a beer with.

I prefer having a little fun with the arguements, feel free to respond in kind. I try to keep from being nasty and I expect the same.

So am I suppose to argue that she wants censorship, or she's fighting attempts at censorship? I'm not sure which.


But if Frank Zappa and John Denver were for it, I'm pretty sure I was against it.
jmkiser
My apologies on clarification... Why do you support her ideals of censorship? and I pray it has nothing to do with John Denver or Frank Zappa... or Twisted Sister for those matters.

That's right, I forgot Twisted Sister. Good stuff


Her wanting to have a label on a record saying that their is foul language isn't censorship. Anymore than not letting the foul language on the radio or the television is.


The 'Everything is art' crowd are nuts. My son went to an Art school, during his graduation ceremony he told us that only two years ago did they finally make it a rule that you had to wear some clothes to graduation. No more streaking was allowed. Forgive me but giving people the right to do anything, and calling it art is just hedonism.

I'm not part of the "everything is art" group.

I'm part of the morality is relative group.

I, actually, want to hear adult humor on the radio ... see adult content on tv ...

I'm also part of the freedom group tongue.gif



And a person walking across a graduation stage naked would be amusing! Of course, probably just to me, though.

What if it was Rosie ODonnel who wanted to express herself by walking nude onto the stage during your daughter's graduation?

Little different when you put a face to the nakedness.

More people in this country voted for Gore. He actually won Florida, but was cheated out of the presidency by the most evil administration this country has ever seen. George W. Bush should be tried for war crimes. I hate him. I really, really, hate him in every sense of the word. He is a scumbag, dirtbag, lying, stubborn, scoundrel. He should be spit on, not praised.

This isn't a Republican/Democrat issue, this is a George W. Bush vs. the World issue. It sickens me to know that he is the president of this country. He reminds me of Logan from 24....

Haha, you don't know me that well... Rosie ODonnel is uglier then shi*, but I would think it HILARIOUS... I would then (and deservedly for her) boo, laugh, ridicule, etc. her.

Morality is different between people... we like to think there is a list of moral bases, but there isn't and that's completely fine. In other societies, eating people is ok. In our society, it's not... no biggie, nothing to get up in arms about... and things like adult content are accepted in this country just fine.

People have the freedom to do what they want as long as they don't impede on the freedoms of others. And not seeing a human being naked is not a freedom of someone else wink.gif but we are perfectly free to respond to someone who gets naked! God, especially Rosie O'Donnel






And Daniel... damnnn I know the popular vote was for Gore, but ... just ... wow I do understand how you feel, though... even the whole scumbag, dirtbag, lying, stubborn, scoundrel part.... maybe ::coughcough:: the people ::cough:: should ::cough:: take back control.

Daniel......wow.......you shouldn't post drunk or on major tilt, because that was just bad....


Look, I think the US governemnt has mismanaged the war and more importantly Bush has mismanaged the media, because that is what is trying him right now.

I have a freind of the family that lives in texas, I think I have put this on here before, he used to drive Bush when he was governor and said that he is a very nice, down to earth man who when he became president just wanted to do what he felt best for the country, regardless of what the media or public thought and he has stayed true to his word. He is not charismatic and does not think much of the media so the blast him and point out everthing bad he does.

Also, congress voted to go to war, Generals are making the decisions in regards to war strategy. Yes, he is the chief exec, but do not fool yourselves into thinking that there are not a large pannel of people who are making decision in his cabinet regarding the war effort.

As far as war crimes, look back at Mister Clinton for that, he was caught selling nuclear secrets to the chinese, but no charges were ever brought, instead they had inquisition about a BJ. I honestly beleive that the affair was a deversionairy tactic to divert attention to his actual crimes.

Wow man. I've defended you on the Christian issue over at 2+2, but this is just too much. Guess what? We live in a representative republic where states choose the president. We don't live in a direct democracy where who received the most votes in the general election wins. So your first comment doesn't mean anything. Second, Gore did NOT win florida, and a commission headed up by the AP? found that no matter which combination of the 20 ways they used to count chads, that gore DID NOT WIN florida. Only the most uninformed and fanatical still espouse this belief, so maybe you should actually research and THINK about thinks before you make posts like these, making you come off as a naive, uninformed ******.

You can have whatever opinion you want on the war, but rest assured that bush will never be tried for war crimes, and he really, really doesn't give a crap whether some poker player he has never met "HATES HIM IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD". As far as spitting on the president, I don't know how long you've been here, but if you are going to pretend to be an American, learn that while it's proper to disagree with any president, one should at least hold the office in such respect to not make such juvenile comments.

Lastly, I don't know if your daddy taught you this or not, but there are things in the world called "perspective" and "bias." Movies have them. It's ill advised to run out and change your life after watching a one-sided presentation of a topic. But on the other hand, if you do make a habit of this in your life, I'm pretty sure I can make better use of your old vehicles than anyone else could. PM me, and I'll send the address that you can ship them out to.

daniel, daniel, my christian brotha. this can't be healthy for you. no matter how much you dislike the man, and believe me, you ain't hurting him, he's probably never heard of you nor does he care what you think, it is not good for you to carry around this kind of vitrial.

"the most evil administration" haha. i realize we all have our weaknesses and faults and for some it is easier to be judgemental and to hate, but why does this kind of attitude seem to pour of the liberal, "tolerant" bunch?

remember, you are a christian first, and it is your responsibility as a christian to pray for your leaders and those in authority, not to slander them and hate them and spit in their face. look at king david as your example in how he treated king saul who was actually trying to kill him. the battle is not yours, it is God's.

you'll probably get your wish and get a democrat next time, and this is what we will have to look forward too: much higher taxes, a weakened defense and intelligence, an expansion of the government which will lead to even more debt. yes, the republicans have sucked and have not stood up for conservative principles, but the democrats are going to drive this country into socialism and weakness. bush has been horrible in many respects, but he has also had more to deal with than president in a long time, and we have not had a major attack on our soil since 9/11. we were attacked four times under your darling president, mr. clinton, and his weak, almost non-existent responses, i believe, left us open for 9/11.

name-calling seems to be the weapons people use when they cannot create a definitive argument.

wow where to begin...Danny boy I am afraid you have lost your mind. i understand you hate Bush and well there are plenty of legit reason to do so, but what a post...you will someday regret that one. I will bet on it. (PM me if anybody wants to place a wager on how long it takes to get a clarifcation post)

Your post about Gore "wining flordia and being cheated out of the presidency " is just factually wrong and a blatent lie. If you are going to whine in public at least get your facts straight.

The one reason I can always sleep good about it the dem party is unwilling to put an electable candiate forward...laugh if you will but it is the truth. Gore is a half baked tree hugger and could win the nomination but not the election...Kerry is a gutless wonder same story...Liebermen is one of the VERY few dems with a backbone and a brain...so what do the power brokers to the "*** party" do...try and get him kicked to the curb in his primary race!! nice job powerbroker dems all he did was come back as an independant and kick your butts...Now of course the best guy you could have gotten elected is on the outs...and you are stuck Hillary and the rest of the elves...

Somewhere i heard a quote a long the lines of "when you are young and not a liberal you have no heart. When you are old and not a conservative you have no brain" so true!!

Spitting on someone, much less a president, would be assault. Spitting on a president would get you several years of detention. Am sure Daniel wouldn't spit on anyone. And was just venting. But you got to be careful what you say. Hate talk can get you put on a list. Might have trouble getting through airport security from now on. Too much hate talk and the secret service will come haul you down for questioning. There is a fine line there that you don't want to cross.

I agree with you on almost every subject Daniel, but that was way too harsh. I believe Bush is good at heart, in some way, lol, he doesn't deserve that, and is your president.

So because I'm a citizen, I have the right to say what Daniel just said? And he doesn't?

What did I post that was wrong?

all are welcome here, come, blend in, make money and prosper...but don't ***** OUR elections and make stupid and inaccurate observations like the elections were stolen from Gore. That is incorrect and a flat out lie. I don't like to read lies stated as fact from anyone much less a guy who didn't vote and hasn't to the best of my knowledge become a citizen.

I will tolerate nobody coming and bashing our system with for all its flaws is still far and away better then all others. I don't go to Canada and make obersavations about Quebec leaving the counrty or the socialist policies in place. It is their counrty and they can deal with it. I don't go to the UK and comment on the royal family and I sure as hell won't listen to him take pot shots at ours.

If in your opinion that makes me stupid, you would be wrong but I am sure you aren't old enough to understand yet...

So you won't tolerate DN... fine... why are you still on his message board? What are you doing still posting here?

So you won't tolerate DN... oh wait, it doesn't matter!!! Hooray!!! You can't and won't do anything about it so your words mean just as much nothing as Daniel's do... Plus the law supports DN saying what he wants and arresting you if you try to take matters in your own hands. Ah, I love it.

Tell me... what are you going to do... deport DN? Last time I checked, he has the right to say whatever he wants... and if he didn't, well, this country wouldn't really be as wonderful and free as you probably boast that it does. Quit digging this hole, akoff, it's not going anywhere.

I would also, WIDELY, disagree that our "system" is better then everyone else's. And just because you don't go to UK and bash on the royal family doesn't mean that we give a **** if DN comes in and bashes on our president. You don't represent me and you definitely don't represent this country with your ignorant speak.

And NICE JOB bashing my age to relate it to my opinion... as I said before... quit digging your hole.
