If you're going to parrot liberal lies, you should at least make sure that they're coherent and demonstrate some semblance of logic. Failure to do so is akin to getting up on a stage and announcing to the world that you're dumb as a rock.
Why was I not made aware that no Tea Partier in 2012 voted for Bush? I remember so many right wingers voting for him that I must've forgot. Any Republican who EVERYONE hates should be written out of the record, regardless how hard Tea Partiers were pimping for him, got it! There is nothing true about anything you said, am I to assume the 45% Romey is getting is 0% tea partiers and 0% Bush voters? Here's an online pillow...so it doesn't hurt as much when you fall flat on your face

9-11 Highly likely
wars. Afganistan 40%. Iraq Highly unlikely. Lotta money saved there.
Probably not much. Nagin and the gov of LA had their hands in it also.
Probably. MANY FROM BOTH PARTIES in and out of government had their hands in the banking crisis.

As for the carbon tax... Even with Gore it had to get thru congress first.

Tempes. Go easy on the kool aid there!
Too late for that!

911 and Aghanistan and even maybe Iraq qould have happened, but the economic meltdown would not have happened. Gore would not have made tax cuts which were not offset by spending cuts, and he would not have accelerated the housing boom like Bush did. The economy would not have melted down on his watch like it did with Bush. It takes a series of many mistakes to screw it up as bad as Bush did.

I don't know why people still think that a change of party and President would have made any difference. Bush Sr>> enter Clinton>>enter Bush Jr>>enter Obama... it has been twenty years of the same thing on a progressive scale of bad.

The country is being run by the bankers who pull the financial strings of the world.

Hindsight is 20/20, however your's isn't measurable. Gore would have accelerated carbon credits and we'd not be enjoying the fruits of new found energy. There are many many variables that you've ignored. One mans yin is another mans yang, but Gore is a twang. He is the consumate "what's in it for me" liberal on a mission to save the world by way of his bank account.

How would Gore have accelerated carbon credits with Republicans in control of the House and the Senate? I don't think so. His biggest accomplishments would have been the vetos the bone headed economic policies coming from the Congress. It did not happen with Bush, because he signed everything they brought to his desk.

You mean how much worse than they made it already?

Is everyone forgetting Al Gore and Clinton directed Loral to go over to the Chinese to repair their rockets that were blowing up and their guidance systems?
Look it up, google can be your friend.
So thanks to Al Gore and Bill Clinton the Chinese were given the ability to target and hit anyplace in the United States with a nuclear weapon which they could not do before. Thank You Al and Bill.

I still remember helicopters buzzing into areas before the storm hit directing people to GET OUT and telling them where to go to get on buses that would take them to safety....and the A**HOLES started throwing bottles and rocks at them.

But somehow...to the left...it was all Bush's fault. Such a failed and stupid argument. And so typical of the left.
Actually I'm from new Orleans and we had no idea the hurricane was coming until 36 hrs before. I got out of town because I have a car but 60% of the population didn't and there was no mass transit to get them out before it hit. So please know facts and not what rumors you hear.

The tiny 1% of Americans would still be extremely wealthy, not obscenely wealthy like they became with the 1.8 trillion in Bush tax cuts. America would have reacted like we did after 9/11, and Al Qaeda would have been quickly neutralized. Bin Laden and his henchmen would have all been dead before the end of 2001. Whether or not we would still be in Afghanistan is unclear.

The real difference is 4,409 Americans would still be alive today, 31,928 Americans would not be wounded, and tens of thousands of Americans would not be traumatized for life. Also, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's would not have lost their life, and 4 million Iraqi's would not have been permanently displaced by war.

That is just the beginning of what would have been different if the election of 2000 was not stolen, and Pres. Bush was selected as President.

Bush was selected as President.
I agree, if Gore was in office the Democrats would tax you on BOTH your inhale and your exhale.
Bush was selected by a 7-2 majority vote of the Supreme Court, including some Liberal Justices (Thank You Very Much)
