 And other words from readers | Grist | Letters | 25 Oct 2000
Gore, however, fails to realize that what's destroying our environment more than anything else is the corporate donations being made to our politicians and the kickbacks that come out of this legalized bribery.
Al Gore has had eight years to prove his worth to the environment, to the poor, and as an opponent of the insidious problems that are this country's own making: the "prison industrial complex," an unabated and relentlessly cruel regressive taxation system, corporate welfare, the WTO and NAFTA, and so on.
Voting for Al Gore in the wan hope that he will be "less damaging" than George W. Bush is to repeat a mistake we have made countless times in the past.

 Birds of a Feather (Gore and Dean)
At least Dean actually moved to Vermont; for Gore, Tennessee was always a constituency, not a home, which was a big part of the reason the state didn't vote for him in 2000, which in turn is the reason he is not (shudder) President today.
Both Gore and Dean are liberal Democrats who like to masquerade as moderates when it suits their purpose.
To this day, Gore blames Bill Clinton for his loss, while Dean is (correctly) convinced that the Clintons have conspired to deny him the nomination, and do not in fact want him to win the Presidency if - as now appears likely - he is nominated.

Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean's bid for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on Tuesday, substantially deepening Dean's fast-developing drive for dominance in the nine-candidate field of would-be challengers to President Bush.
Dean thanked Gore for his leadership: "We have needed a strong, steady hand in this party and I appreciate Al's willing[ness] to stand up and be one," Dean said.
Gore said part of the reason he chose to endorse Dean was his ability to appeal to the nation's "grassroots" elements, a reference to Dean's success in organizing and raising funds on the Internet and in small voter gatherings.

That was clear as soon as Gore declared, "We need to remake the Democratic Party." What Gore was implicitly rejecting was the split-the-difference, never-lose-sight-of-the-political-center approach that characterized the Clinton presidency.
In contrast, Gore's 2000 presidential race will be remembered as one of the most synthetic and consultant-driven campaigns in modern history.
What Gore has bequeathed Dean is a degree of inoculation against the inside-the-Beltway charge that he is too inexperienced in foreign policy to be trusted with the presidency in perilous times.
