Just curious, but what do you think a President Gore would have done in this current situation.

Probably not much different than President Bush in response to the terrorists. Probably a lot different with Congress in that I don't think he'd be trying to sneak any tax cuts for the wealthy, Actric drilling or missle defense sheild into the appropriations bill. Gore would've found a way to sneak in childrens healthcare, environmental cleanup and education funding. In short, same tactics, just a different agenda.

Are you kidding? Al Gore would likely have apologized to the terrorists by now and called Ariel Sharon (from a Buddhist temple that he swears to Buddha ne never knew was holding a fundraising event) to tell him how awful it is that his response to the PA caused our World Trade Center to be bombed. Do you study a candidate before you vote?

I got a tax cut. I must be wealthy. Nope, still no spare spending money. Not poor mind you, but not wealthy. What about you, did you get a tax cut? Maybe yours wasn't as big as Bill Gates' was. Does that mean that if Bill Gates gets a $1000 gift for Christmas and you only get a $100 gift you would refuse your gift and demand that Bill give his back?

Actric drilling or missle defense sheild into the appropriations bill.

Define sneak. If you count making speeches and telling news reporters what you're doing then, you're right, Bush is trying to sneak Arctic drilling and missile defense through congress.

Gore would've found a way to sneak in childrens healthcare, environmental cleanup and education funding.

What children don't have healthcare? I haven't heard anything about children who don't have healthcare. Recently there was a news report about how the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was going to have to work harder to let people know they were there. They had a lot of money to spend and nobody applying. Environment clean-up: is there someplace that needs cleaning that I don't know about? Education funding: don't get me started. Bush has abandoned the conservatives by promoting a huge increase in educational funding.

Where do you get your news anyway? Just curious, but I don't remember children's healthcare or environmental cleanup mentioned by either side in the last election. And every idiot knows that Bush was interrupted at a school in Florida to be informed of the Attack on America because he was pushing his education agenda. (Al Gore would have been interrupted at a Buddhist Temple that ... oh wait, I used that one)

In short, same tactics, just a different agenda.

No, I think Gore would be trying to prove that everyone who disagreed with him was a lowlife scumbag like his mentor Bubba always did. Bush employs the tactics of civility and respect - along with obedience to the law. I'm not sure Gore even understands those concepts.

Shalom.
