MORRISON, Tenn. July 20 — Former presidential candidate Al Gore accused the Bush administration Saturday of lying to Americans about the nation's economy.

At a campaign event for a congressional candidate, Gore told Democrats that electing Lincoln Davis could be the difference in continuing the Bush administration's economic policies.

The Bush administration has "lied about the future liabilities they have put on our shoulders as taxpayers," Gore said.

The former vice president prompted a cheer when he said: "I don't care what anybody says. I think Bill Clinton and I did a damn good job."

The recent spate of corporate corruption cases reflects the administration's policies and its appointees, who are supposed to police big business, Gore said.

He compared the administration's handling of the economy to business decisions that led to the collapse of Enron, saying Bush is creating a huge deficit.

"It's going to lead to bigger deficits than when the first Bush was there," Gore said.

He said the administration should "completely scrap its economic plan and its team on Monday ... start over from scratch and start rebuilding this economy."

Gore, who says he is undecided about another presidential race in 2004, endorsed Davis in the Aug. 1 Democratic primary for the 4th Congressional District.

Former aerospace company owner Fran Marcum is also seeking the Democratic nomination. Former Safety Commissioner Mike Greene and Tullahoma alderman Janice Bowling are seeking the Republican nomination.

Incumbent Rep. Van Hilleary, a Republican, is instead running for governor.

The rural district stretches from Alabama to Kentucky and includes counties that elected Gore to the U.S. House in 1976.

"I don't care what anybody says. I think Bill Clinton and I did a damn good job."

Translation: "AlGore thinks AlGore played a good vice-president on TV. AlGore needs work, so AlGore will try to run for president."

[JennysCool]

Yeah. They "damned" us, all right ...

"I don't care what anybody says. I think Bill Clinton and I did a damn good job."

Of trying to sell the nation out to the Chicoms, of election fraud, of perjury, of abusing our authority, but mostly we did an excellent job of trashing the nation's military and intelligence commmunity so that 9/11 was possible in the first place.

[Tuco-bad]

Bill and I (Gore)Did a Damn Good Job!

Yep - sure did.

Record trade deficits, exporting of good jobs thanks to free trade. no effective war on terrorism (i.e., embassy bombings, U.S.S. Cole), allowing corporate CEOs to suck out profits of corporations for their own benefits, etc..

[ChadGore]

Markets are cyclical. The sins of the 90s have come home.

[Jhoffa_]

Get the hook..

Our nation tires of bad performances quickly.

"Bill and I Did a Damn Good Job! Bush is a liar. I won fair and square. buuuuurp."

I can hear it now...12:00 Jan 20, 2001...big businesses pop champaign corks and shoot party poppers... "Wow. Now we can FINALLY start accounting how we want to..."

If ANYTHING the recent spate of scandals is because the Bush team is doing their job. A little too well maybe...

[Kaslin]

Oh my, he sure is delusional

"Has that clinton "legacy" made you feel safer yet?"

Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:

I'll get flamed for this, but I don't care. Gore and his partisan hacks get away with murder because of this "new tone" jazz. Where's the SPIRITED defense (and offense, for that matter) to this kind of ****?? I sure haven't been hearing it.

[NormsRevenge]

Our nation tires of bad performances quickly.

Thank God for that!!!

We Have SurVived ClinTon .. So FaR!! We CaN'T Afford to Go Back to That "Style" of Government.

"I don't care what anybody says. I think Bill Clinton and I did a damn good job."

I'd map Al's Political Death as disbelief freefalling to despair. It's not the fall that'll kill you, Al, it's the landing.

Nevermind the fact all of the corruption occurred during the Clinton-Gore Administration.

Glad the AP pointed out the dates of when the cooking of the books started, so that its readers would not be misled as to the facts. < / sarcasm >

[Diddle E. Squat]

He's lying.

[Kaslin]

Gore: Bush Administration Are Liars, Claims "Bill and I Did a Damn Good Job!"

Normally I would ask where is the barf alert? However this time I say you should have posted it under comical

[NormsRevenge]

LOL

Looks like Al has a chaw in his mouth ... he could a' took Tennessee if he had spit during the debate .. instead he macarena'd and smooched TiPPer ..

It is shocking how all this corporate corruption suddenly started happening as soon as Bush got elected. Under the Clinton regime, things were entirely kosher given the high moral example Clinton set. But as soon as Bush got elected, because the corporate titans knew what Bush did on Harken, they suddenly started to give out excessive options and top level executive income and cooking the books, auditors stopped auditing in a professional manner, and started not expensing options, and well, things just went to hell and a handbasket within about 16 months. None of this would have happened if Gore had been elected. The Dow would be back up to 12,000 and the new paradigm economy would still be going strong.

Well, gore and clinton did do a good job.

They did a good job of selling our military techonology and secrets to the Communist Chinese.

They did a good job of getting the terrorists into the country and allowing them to stay in the country.

They did a good job of setting the stage for the World Trade Center attack.

They did a good job of demoralizing the military services.

They did a good job of allowing the unboprn and newly-born to be murdered with the government approval.

They did a god job of corrupting the justice department and its enforcement agencies.

They did a good job of corrupting further the political system.

They did a good job of bombing hospitals and civillians in the Balkans.

And last but not least, they did a good job of teaching me to hate.
I never thought that I could hate with the intensity that I hate a democrat, bill clintion,the main stream media [dan rather, et. al.], hillary clinton, and al gore, but I found that I can.
