Look, Bouncer suggests that President Bush's father was engaged in treason and you come back suggesting tha Al Gore's father was engaged in treason and none of that was the issue. I was comparing Gore's character to Bush's, not the character of their fathers. I would not suggest that Bouncer was talking about Iran-Contra anyway. That may have been illegal but it sure wasn't treason, as I suspect Bouncer knows.
But back to the issues. Nobody has accused President Bush of treason. Gore is implicated in treason by his support of the Clinton Administration's sale of our nuclear secrets to China. That's treason. Gore has also broken the law, at least by making fundraising phone calls from his White House office and by attending a fundraiser at a Buddhist Temple. I'm sure there is more.
The cap on the Gore character issue is his defense of Bill Clinton as a possible rapist. He doesn't mind if Bill is a rapist, as Juanita Broderrick (?) has alledged, because he has done so much good that he has more than made up for it. If Al Gore were president then rape wouldn't be a crime as long as the rapist contributed to charity afterwords.
(BTW: If you have a link to articles about the town hall meeting where he said that, Bouncer has asked.)
Stick to the subject, please.
Shalom
Thanks for the advice, though...
