You're comparing apples to cumquats.
Gore is much more Gore than Bush will ever be Bush - Bush being more of a composite. When there are more heads at work, the net result, regardless of ideology, tends to be more considered.
And Clinton / Gore, being liberals, were all dick and swagger with no checks. In the case of the Repugs, there is a chaste, almost puritanical limiting factor that comes into play and moderates impulsive behavior.
That doesn't mean the net result won't be just as nasty, just that it'll take longer and be less sloppy.
