I am betting that the world would be very different with Al Gore
1) a chance of 9/11 being prevented. The bush whitehouse was so focused on invading IRAQ they ignored the warnings about 9/11. Unlike clinton GWB didn't go after him. There is a chance that a non-deaf Al Gore administration could of prevented 9/11.
so yeah, you have to be clueless about world history not to wish for a different outcome.
I DID NOT vote for GWB, but still remember me sitting on pins and needles while he pushed the button for WAR. Talk about War Crimes...Oil Crimes more like it.
He didn't find something to prosecute Ted Kennedy and Bwany for?
Besides, Al was busy. He hadn't finished inventing the internet by 2000.
Another urban rumor. He never said it. DH was paying close attention because he attended many conferences having to do with communication where Al Gore was the speaker or a participant. His job required it.
According to dh, Al Gore, while in the Senate was instrumental in pushing for and getting funding for an internet connection in every house.
Technically AL Gore lost. They kept counting every Chad and the numbers still were more votes for Bush.
Actually... they found out later that one county had thrown out more than 20,000 votes. Gore lost by barely 500 votes, so it is likely he actually won FL.
The only reason I voted NO is because I think Gore is an arrogant elitist with a 2x4 up his arse. He is part of the Clinton mafia and right now I'm sick of all political crime families, most of all Clinton and Bush.
One major thing we KNOW FOR SURE, the weapons industries are being kept well and very active and wealthy. Sick Sick Sick Americans for all this misery.

Yeah-it's hard to say if anything would have been different with Gore; It certainly wouldn't have been different with Kerry in 2004.
He had more money invested in war corporations than any other politician at the time. He was looking to make a killing-literally and figuratively.

We don't know anything for sure but what GWB and his cronies did to the world.
democrats have more vote fraud, so not really. We need the president changing parties anyways... having the government get too one sided towards any party is not a good thing. Gridlock is good because both sides think they know what's best for everyone and want to over-regulate people's lives.
Until democrats give up the war on guns and republicans give up the war on drugs, especially marijuana, I maintain my opinion.
Dubya was a disaster but Gore would not have been much better. I voted for Ralph Nader. And if I had to go back and do it again knowing what I know now, I would still vote for Ralph Nader.
There is no doubt in my mind that Al Gore would have been a better president than Bush. We wouldn't have had the Bush tax cuts, we might have kept the budget surplus and done great things with it, and we almost certainly wouldn't have gotten entangled in Iraq.
Allowing taxpayers to keep more of their money is not a bad thing.
Democrats do not practice supply side economics and Al Gore would not have done those tax cuts, and if the tax cuts were never done they could not have been extended in future negotiations. Al Gore's victory would have stopped $6.2 trillion dollars from being added to our national debt.
And GW Bush (as a favor to the oil corporations that financed his campaign) abandoned the Kyoto Protocol global warming treaty. Future global warming projections show the Earth getting 0.5F.-8.6F. warmer depending on future greenhouse gas emissions. Al Gore would have embraced the Kyoto Protocol and GW Bush's victory literally could have increased the temperature of planet Earth.
Iraq had nothing to do with Sept 11 and the Bush White House said 935 false statements about Iraq, and even Rand Paul says Dick Cheney invaded Iraq for Halliburton corporation. And Al Gore would not have invaded Iraq after Sept 11.
The Iraq war killed 1,000's of US soldiers, permanently injured 10,000's of US soldiers, killed 100,000+ innocent Iraqi people, cost US taxpayers $1 trillion plus dollars, and allowed ISIS to take control of Iraq.
But today we have someone like GW Bush waiting to enter the White House (Donald Trump.)
Trump wants tax cuts just like GW Bush (tax cuts that give the richest 5% of Americans 51% of the tax cuts), and Trump will raise our debt MUCH higher than Hillary. And Donald Trump talks about getting tough on other countries and wants increased military spending. Trump gives us much higher odds of another war compared to Hillary.
Its shocking and sad what GW Bush did, but lets just hope Trump does not get in the White House and do close to what GW Bush did.
