You are forgetting 9/11. Or do you think 9/11 would not have happened if Gore had become President? If you do then you are illusional. Also if Gore had been President, not only would we have had one attack but 2 or maybe even three, before he would have woken up and realized that we were attacked.

First of all, I would have been "delusional" not "illusional"... But no, I'm not suggesting we would have avoided 9/11. Gore would have been a disaster as a president -- both the war on terror and the recession would have been worse under Gore. But he would have had the power of incumbency (sp?) going for him and the support of the mainstreams, so I would not have been surprised if he had won two terms.

But it just goes to show: the Dems did themselves no favor in propping up the corrupt Bubba -- he cost them throughout the 1990's (state legislatures, governorships and Congress) and hopefully he's costing them now. Clinton will be viewed in history as a very fortunate president -- elected during a vacation from history and he exploited it to the fullest. He benefitted from a great economy not of his making or even supporting (other than giving in to lowering the capital gains tax pressed by the GOP Congress) and he spent every penny of the Cold War dividend by slashing military budgets (and intelligence budgets) leaving us unprepared for the War On Terror that was being pursued by our enemies during the 1990s and unleashed on us formally in 2001. And that's not being delusional.

You are correct, my mistake>

Yet you admit yourself that Gore would have been a disaster, yet you asume he would have declared a war on terror. My point is he would not have and because of it, we would have been attacked at least another times besides 9/11. Also you say that the recession would have been worse under Gore, to which I completely agree with you 100 percent. Yet you assume he would have been reelected. My statement still stands. You are delusional.

Also you are forgetting about the peanut farmer from Georgia who practically brought us the terrorist attacks was a disaster was not reelected
