Thread Name: No Real Choice in American Elections
Subject: RE: No Real Choice in American Elections
Reading this forum I would come away with the conclusion that all the polls are wrong. Some of you that are so pro Nader or even those that seem to be pro Gore are interesting to read. It is laughable that the one who barely made it out of Harvard and flunked out of devinity school is the one who is branded the itellect. The one who made good grades at Yale and has an MBA from Harvard is portrayed as the dummy. It was also interesting to read the "spin" one of the submitters put on Truman. At the time he was elected the Pendergast machine was very much pulling for the "shirt salesman who wouldn't be up to the job of president."

I'll admit that Gore is the better actor. He learns his lines well. His "Jolson" routine of "You ain't seen nothin yet" is getting old, but he knows the speech. His "One percent" was old on the second telling and so misleading. I'll be happy to take my tax cut thank you and won't be upset that someone who pays more than I do will get more in return.

The same people who don't want to touch the open space in Alaska (the current drilling doesn't seem to bother the animals as the herds have increased) are the same ones who want to send the nuclear waste clear across the country through some of your hometowns to be put in my backyard.

Can any of you Gore followers tell me why Lieberman is still running for the Senate?

I may disagree with many of you but I am thankful to live in a country where you have the right to think and write as you do and I have the right to think and write as I do. I remember being very upset when Goldwater didn't get elected. He too was bombasted by the press. And life went on. No matter who wins the election on November 7, 2000 the United States of America will go on and still be the best country to live in in the world.
