Even kids know better:

I guess that means even kids are smarter than Al Gore. And to think,
that fat elitist fool was a heartbeat from the Presidency. Scary very
scary!

Even scarier is the thought that he could have been *elected*
President. I don't even want to imagine what this country would be like
with him at the helm.

Yeah, not fighting in a civil war, Afganistan in good shape, perhaps no
9/11 at all, prosperity, etc.

Right. Dream on, Bay Area boy.

I notice that you don't dispute any of it.

I'm disputing all of it. First: Al Gore, if President, would have been
forced to take some sort of action after 9/11 (despite the totally wacko
version of that day circulating among the reaaaaaaallly far-left
currently--which I won't even address, it's so ludicrous). He'd likely have
followed the intel the spooks were putting forth, meaning he'd probably have
retaliated by doing the same thing in Afghanistan that Bush did. If you
recall, Congress was solidly behind that. As for Iraq, things with that
country were coming to a head sooner or later. Al probably would have given
the UN inspectors more time. Maybe not. We'll never know, but I think
Saddam would have been emboldened by bamboozling the UN for so long, and
he'd likely have made overtures to al Qaeda or some other jihadist group,
forcing us (primarily) along with a loose coalition to do something about
him. Of course we'll never know about that either, but that's what some of
the most outspoken university political scientists have been saying for a
while: taking Saddam out was inevitable. As for prosperity, I'm sorry if
you're suffering. Everyone I know is flourishing. You Democrats can spin
our economy into the toilet all day, Jon, but you can't make it believable.
The economy is fine, real estate is doing well--better than the doomspeakers
have been predicting--and the stock market is reaching all-time highs again,
if fluctuating a bit, which is what it typically did before the craziness of
the dot.com era anyway.

Al Gore is, like his President, a flag blowing in the wind of public
opinion. No morality, no backbone, few core beliefs, no real identity
beyond what his handlers created for him. The only firm stance he's taken on
any front is his global warming position, for which many believe him to be
an alarmist and a liar, fabricating "facts" that go well beyond what
scientists are saying or predicting. And lately he's one big fat momma,
leading to the conclusion that he's depressed. Not exactly presidential
material.

Bush is no prize, but Gore would have been a disaster. I shudder to think
