Al Gore, Tipper Gore
A conversation with Al and Tipper Gore
Keywords:
A conversation with former vice president Al Gore and his wife Tipper Gore about their new book on families, "Joined at the Heart", the personal toll of losing the presidency and the current state of American political affairs.


























"He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place" That is absolutely correct. And you said nothing which would refute it. Bush's neocons wanted to invade Iraq as early as 1991. They were mad at Bush Sr when he didn't go to Baghdad. They only used 9/11 as an "opportunity" to sell this nonsense. And fools like you bought their "new product" -- which was, in fact, old. As for the media helping Gore you must be kidding. Did you actually pay attention to his coverage in 1999 and 2000? In short: without that systematic character assassination Bush wouldn't have become president and we wouldn't lose ~80 troops/month in Iraq now. As for those supposed ties: you are the very reason why those ties are not stronger than the forces which divide us. YOU divide this country. You and the millions of similar nationalist jerks. And Gore is not as naive as to not know about your type of creature.
"He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place" The Voice of a man who feels we need to remember that the ties that bind us are stronger than those that divide us... Nice to see Mr. Rose had a "history" with mary elizabeth too... Good thing we dont have a goverment media complex in this nation. err wait nm.
