No Gore in ’04

Says Fox.
I love some of the quotes.

“Gore was instrumental in helping to create the longest period of economic growth in our nation’s history, creating millions of new jobs, and turning record deficits into surpluses. He has served as a leader on environmental issues and in international affairs, working with passion and conviction to tackle the toughest challenges we face.” — Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who expects to make a decision soon on whether he will run.

Not even Clinton was instrumental in creating the longest period of economic growth in the nation’s history. It was created by Ronaldus Magnus in the 1980’s and the Clinton bozos simply rode it till the steam ran out. If Edwards can’t even get his economic history straight, he’ll make a lousy president. Which he would anyway; he’s a Democrat from the South.
And I won’t even talk about Gore’s “blame the humans” Luddite approach to environmentalism.

“From his trailblazing work on the environment and technology as a member of Congress to his extraordinary accomplishments as vice president in the areas of foreign affairs and economic security, Al has defined himself as someone who identifies problems before anyone else and offers solutions while others are still mulling the question.– Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, who associates say is “very, very likely” to run for president.

The problem with Gore’s answers is that he comes up with them so quickly, they’re still half-baked and still in the wrapper. Gore is not all that smart, and he is not a trailblazer by any stretch of the imagination. He does like to take credit for other people’s ideas and achievements, though: “I invented the Internet.”

“Al Gore was the best vice president America ever had. He would have been a fine president had history taken a different course two years ago.” — Former President Clinton.

Part I: Doubtful, and unproven. Part II: Probably better than you, you filthy scumbucket.

“While Al Gore will not be a candidate in 2004, I know we can count on both of them to speak out on the issues they have fought so hard for and care so deeply about.” — Democratic national chairman Terry McAuliffe.

I know this is out of context but both of whom? (And if both are Algore, which of the 50 different personalities are we talking about?)

“I have the greatest respect for Al Gore, for his many years of dedicated service to our nation, and for his decision, which I am sure was not an easy one,” said Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y

“Plus, it gets him out of my way…”

“I think it opens the field. … Everybody has a chance and that’s an exciting time for us as Democrats.” — Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

And probably a belly-laughing time for those of us on the conservative side of the fence.
