21. Gore Fought! Kerry turned tail and ran....Not in the same boat or
category. As much as I might wish Gore had been stronger, I won't tar him with Kerry/Edwards.

He was a better man who phoned the Chimp to reverse the "Selection" on Election night.

Kerry barely took 24 hours before he caved and left the "vote" to folks on DU mostly and elsewhere to parse through the Election Numbers in Ohio.

Dean was dissed. Do I think he could have won the election...frankly in hindsight, I don't know. But I do know that millions of us were forced to vote for candidates who've barely been seen since.

I don't need that. Another wasted vote? I'll vote Green before I give another vote to weak candidates like Kerry/Edwards.

But Gore....was a different story altogether. His memory shouldn't be trashed because he was caught off guard by the Bushie Gestapo tactics.

It's Kerry/Edwards who didn't learn from what happened to Gore and I blame THEM for their lack of vision when Dean/Kucinich/Moseley-Braun/Sharpton were trying to tell them how to win. They wanted to do it their way with polls and some blind idiotic trust that the "Corporate Media" wouldn't lie and distort and be embedded with the Bush Criminals.

They misjudjed BIG TIMe. Gore didn't have the luxury of "hindsight" like Kerry/Edwards did. I won't ever blame him for their loss. :nuke:
