Peg - Gore is pro-choice.

Great job summing it all up LEJ. What bothers me about the "personal responsibility" stance of the republicans is that they don't apply their rhetoric to corporate responsibility. There is very little talk about the millions of dollars our government spends cleaning up after big business. I believe it is the personal responsibility of the people who have built their fortunes while fouling the air, water and soil to clean up after themselves. And now there are people who want another pipeline through public land. And while you're right to be angry at being lumped in withe the rich by Clinton, there is no reason to believe that the Republicans will get around to helping a business of your size. After all, eight years of "the great communicator" and another four of George Dubya's daddy didn't give much relief to the family farmer. But it sure did a lot to advance the large corporate farms, ddn't it.
