"Too much Gore"

Reviews by Democratic activists of "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warning: raves on content, not so favorable on the principal actor.

Democratic politicians who have seen the movie that accompanies Gore on his current tour say it is the most effective presentation yet about global warming. But they contend there is "too much Gore," including aspects of his personal life that have nothing to do with the environment.

A footnote: Many critics of Gore are acknowledged supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. They view the former vice president as her potentially most serious opponent.

MINIMUM WAGE POLITICS

Defection by six Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday caused the passage of a minimum wage increase long sought by Democrats, but GOP leaders privately decreed the proposal never will reach the House floor.

The Republican defections produced a 32 to 27 committee vote, amending the health and education spending bill, for an increase to $7.25 an hour of the current $5.15 rate that has not been changed since 1997. The party leadership, unwilling to force Republican House members to vote on the minimum wage, will use last year's health and education spending as the basis for current outlays rather than pass the appropriations bill.

Republicans want to avoid a minimum wage floor fight, where Democrats would point out that House members Tuesday, for the eighth straight Congress, raised their own pay. The latest $3,300 increase puts the House's annual salary at $168,500.

What has Congree done this year to deserve a pay raise? They should take a pay cut in both Houses until they get immigration reform passed.

"Too much Gore"

ANY Gore is too much for me!

The big problem is that Al Gore thinks , after basking in the fetid glory of the Dems self serving envirocrazy wing of the party, that he has invented global warming.

The real problem is that because he invented global warming, he thinks he has a good chance to become President of the United States in order to keep the sky from falling.

A bold chicken little he is, whose electoral victory for the nation would mean that every man would be for himself, and in survivalist mode.

What an idiot this man truly is.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He and Howard Dean, Vermonts Village Idiot, would make a great presidential/vice presidential ticket..... Neither having half a clue that would add up to even one.

My neighbor went to see it (who is a big Democrat) and he said this:

"I didn't like it - Gore acts like he is the Messiah in the movie."

Reminds me of the choice we all had to make in the 2000 Presidential Election - Gore or Bush.

That was the same decision I had to make each week end picking out movies at the video store.

To tell the truth, it will be inconvenient for me to see the movie.
