Another Gore Bore

I am getting really bugged at this constant praising of Al Gore and knocking of Ralph Nader. Of course no thinking American would have voted for Nader in 2000 if we had even a glimpse of the deviltry waiting to burst from George Bush. But just because Gore would not have led into Iraq doesn't mean he wouldn't have led us into some other moral and economic disaster.

Gore was pathetic in his presidential campaign. Not once did he refer to the Clinton administration and state how he would advance the goals and projects of that administration. And what is he doing now that David Remnick is so enamored with? Is Gore advancing policies that might get America out of Iraq? Or dealing with runaway gas prices and our major economic problems? Not that I have noticed.

Yes, care for our planet's health is important. But what about the health care for Americans? What does Gore promote to resolve that issue.

So Gore is a decent man. So what? Ralph Nader is more than just a decent man. He is a deeply complex and motivated man. Al Gore is the man in the empty suit.

This is 2006, Remnick. Quit berating Nader for the 2000 election that Gore capitulated, even though he won. How pathetic can he, and you be?
