Reply #6: Al Gore would make my decision a lot easier [View All]

Of course Gore would be criticized for having chosen Joe Lieberman as his running mate. I'm sure the supporters of other Democratic candidates and Republicans as well would be able to dig up dirt on Gore. Every politician collects baggage along the way that will offend someone. But what I like about Al Gore is that he's gone on to do something with his life of a major nature for the public good without being a politician and without seeking the reward of public office. To me, that cleanses him of a lot of the sleaze and mistrust that other politicians collect. He's committed himself not just to making money outside of politics but to really standing for something. His stand on global warming isn't just a politician's lip service to an issue that might get him elected or a mark to embellish his C.V. as a politician. He has proven to me that he really believes in what he says. That would be worthy of my trust and my vote.
