By all accounts, Vice President Al Gore should be boasting that the longest period of uninterrupted economic growth, low unemployment, and three consecutive budget surpluses are reasons to keep a Democrat in the Oval Office.
Gore beefed up on the imminent environmental crisis as a senator, becoming an expert on global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer, the destruction of rain forests, and new earth friendly technology.

 Al Gore's Journey: In Congress, Gore Selected Issues Ready for Prime Time
Gore's Congressional career was not spent in the middle of the ideological wars; his interests, his political instincts and perhaps the memory of his father pushed him elsewhere.
Gore was in the thick of the struggle for the passage of the Superfund Act of 1980, which established a fund to clean up toxic wastes.
Gore came forth with his answer: an arms control strategy that would move from big multiple-warhead missiles to smaller single-warhead missiles, which could be easily scattered and thus much harder to target, thereby reducing the advantage of a first strike.

 Al Gore’s movie meets its match in Stockholm - On Line Opinion - 13/10/2006
Al Gore’s recent visits to Australia and Scandinavia to publicise the launch of his movie, An Uncertain Truth, jollied up - but regrettably did not materially illuminate - public discussion of the global warming issue.
Mr Gore arrived in Scandinavia, by chance, at the same time that a technical meeting on climate change was in progress in Sweden.
From the papers presented, as indeed from Mr Gore’s film, it is clear that the alarmist case for dangerous global warming rests on circumstantial evidence, unsubstantiated computer models and green political activism.

 Salon Politics2000 | Al Gore, race-baiter
The reason Gore is suddenly attacking Bradley on race is that the vice president and his campaign team see Southern fl voters as the key to slowing any momentum Bradley might gain with a respectable showing in the Iowa caucuses and a win in New Hampshire.
Gore is counting on Southern fls, who make up some 40 percent of Democratic primary voters in the South, to serve as an anti-Bradley "firewall." Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile confirmed this strategy with remarkable candor in a November interview with the Washington Post.
But if the Gore campaign and Democrats nationally continue their recent use of race in such reprehensible ways, the vice president may spend the last few days of the election hoping that a prediction he made last summer does not come true.

 AllPolitics - Questions Focus On Gore - Mar. 2, 1997
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, March 2) -- Al Gore became the latest focus of scrutiny into Democratic fund-raising efforts Sunday, when the Washington Post reported that the vice president was the administration's "solicitor-in-chief" during the 1996 re-election campaign.
Gore took the responsibilities of directly soliciting donations at the behest of then-Clinton strategist Dick Morris, after Clinton flatly refused to make such calls.
Gore associates say Gore did not know that then-Commerce Department Secretary Ron Brown had assisted the company in obtaining a $36 million contract with Telmex, Mexico's national telecommunications company, nor that Donald acknowledged the donation was a "thank you" to the Clinton administration.

WASHINGTON - Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000 is trailed by a threatening cloud that never seems to go away: controversies left over from the 1996 campaign.
Gore supporters said there's little reason to believe Attorney General Janet Reno, who has twice rejected recommendations for an independent counsel in the fundraising case, will change course and propose one now.
But they also acknowledged that the report was damaging to Gore: Distracting him from the day's intended message, reminding voters of old scandals and reinforcing the sense of "Clinton fatigue" that has prompted some voters to yearn for a change in the White House.

When Clark responded to that first question by saying that Iraq was not responsible for the attack and that al Qaeda was, the president persisted in focusing on Iraq.
When the administration is told specifically and repeatedly that there is no linkage, and simultaneously makes bold assertions in a confident manner to the American people that leave the impression with 70 percent of the country that Saddam Hussein was primarily responsible for the attack, this is deception.
Iraq is far from the only policy where the president has made bold assertions about the need for dramatic change in policy, change that he has said is mandated by controversial assertions differing radically from accepted views of reality in that particular policy area.

When Clarke responded to his question by saying that Iraq was not responsible for the attack and that al Qaeda was, the President persisted in focusing on Iraq, and again, asked Clarke to spend his time looking for information linking Saddam Hussein to the attack.
This was not an unfortunate misreading of the available evidence, causing a mistaken linkage between Iraq and al Qaeda, this was something else; a willful choice to make the linkage, whether evidence existed or not.
Iraq is not the only policy where the President has made bold assertions about the need for a dramatic change in American policy, a change that he has said is mandated by controversial assertions that differ radically from accepted views of reality in that particular policy area.

In spite of our differences over ideology and politics, we are in strong agreement that the American values we hold most dear have been placed at serious risk by the unprecedented claims of the Administration to a truly breathtaking expansion of executive power.
In exactly the same way, George Tenet's CIA eventually joined in endorsing a manifestly false view that there was a linkage between al Qaeda and the government of Iraq.

 Al Gore's Georgetown Speech [Voltaire]
The problem for the president is that he doesn’t have any credible evidence to support his claim, and yet, in spite of that, he persists in making that claim vigorously.
The myth that Iraq and Al Qaeda were working together was no accident - the president and vice president deliberately ignored warnings before the war from international intelligence services, the CIA, and their own Pentagon that the claim was false.
This lie about the invented connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq was and is the key to justifying the current ongoing constitutional power grab by the president.

The warfare between Al Gore and George W. Bush is certainly historic -- but this partisan version of a demolition derby may not be as profound as we think.
Concerned about Gore's faltering numbers in the polls, they argued that votes for Nader might well lead to the victory of George W. Bush.
The fact that there is always such vigorous dispute on this subject, with people of solid left credentials coming to sharply different conclusions, results in part from the extremely marginal position of the left.
