Leo, you're putting me to sleep. You've not cited one single empirical fact showing that Gore has been good for any of the groups above. The Clinton-Gore regime has jailed 1 million Americans, criminalized 3% of the adult population and probably 20% of all African Americans, given hundreds of billions in tax breaks to the rich, allowed the Wall Street Bubble to spiral completely out of control, maintained a Cold War-sized military, done nothing to improve the medieval labor laws of this country, but lobbied long and hard for NAFTA, the WTO and related horrors. Nor have I heard one pipsqueak from you lamenting this country's barbaric worst-past-the-post electoral system and ghastly electoral college, which is the real reason that Shrubya is likely to be our next Prez.
