Bore, Boor, or Gore?

Is There a Difference?

The Bore

UNITED STATES POLICY TO REVERSE IRAQ'S OCCUPATION OF KUWAIT (Senate Floor Debate—January 12, 1991)

The Magnificent Grand Opening by Al Gore:

"I have been an intent student of these events . . . attended virtually every minute of the long hearings . . . But my decision today is the product of an intense, may I say, excruciating, effort to find my way to a place as close to a sense of the ultimate truth in this matter as I am capable of getting. I have struggled to confront this issue in its bare essence: to separate what I think is fact, or at least highly probable, from what I think is false, or at least highly improbable; to strike a balance and to take my stand . . ."

The Crescendo and Heart of the Oration

"We have all made that journey, regardless of where it has led us . . . I stood in a different place halfway through last year . . . I felt, up until recently, especially after the hearings, in which I played an active role, questioning, probing, searching for the truth . . . As I searched my heart on this issue over the last few days with special intensity . . . I found myself feeling . . . I found myself pulled . . . I cannot reconcile myself to a point of view and a vote . . .my effort to explain why I feel that way. I think there is wishful thinking . . . But I believe it is wishful thinking . . . in my heart and the hearts of us all . . ."

The Stately and Convincing Closing Point

"None of us should have any doubt . . . but I fear that it may again be only wishful thinking . . . that I will never be guilty of any kind of action . . . I wish that were so. It may be so . . . I doubt that . . ."

So there you have it—the Bore's so called "support" of evicting Iraq from Kuwait in 1991.

Is anyone out there (still awake) convinced Al Gore "fully supported" action against Iraq in 1991 as he claims?

Anyone?

Not only was this the most boring speech ever presented in the US Senate, it would later prove Gore to be a liar.

The Boor

On September 23, 2002, in that bastion of nationalism and founding principles—San Francisco—Al Gore proved once again that being a boor is easier done than said.

Stating that going after Hussein is the wrong course of action because "the vast majority of those who sponsored, planned and implemented the cold blooded murder of more than 3,000 Americans are still at large," the Boor said "I do not believe that we should allow ourselves to be distracted from this urgent task . . ." Al Gore was the sidekick to Bill "15 felonies and impeachment" Clinton who certainly found an intern to get distracted with instead of going after bin Laden after Al-Qaeda's multiple attacks on the United States during Clinton's corrupt regime.

The Boor also stated that "by shifting from his early focus after September 11th on war against terrorism to war against Iraq, the President has manifestly disposed of the sympathy, good will and solidarity compiled by America . . ." Has Saudi Arabia shown any solidarity? I don't think telethons for homicide bombers' families is "solidarity" any more than their refusal early on to not allow us the use of the air bases in their territory that we built. What about Germany? Has all that anti-American hatred shown by Schroeder and the kook who equated "Bush to Hitler" a sign of good will"? America better learn to be nationalistic because, unlike Gore, many of us know the thugs of the world community could care less about helping America—other than help facilitate more American dollars flowing their way.

This gem stands out: "From the outset, the Administration has operated in a manner calculated to please the portion of its base that occupies the far right . . ." Has amnesty for illegal aliens appealed to the far right? Has social spending so extreme it makes Maxine Waters blush appealed to the far right? The Bush administration has ballooned social spending and global welfarism to such an extreme it makes Karl Marx rise from the dead and do a double take. And the Boor thinks that Bush's Iraq strategy is trying to appeal to the far right?

Anyone out there buying this absurd nonsense?

Anyone?

The Gore

It would be wise for all Americans to review Al Gore's leadership during war throughout the corrupt Clinton regime. Usama bin Laden formally declared war against the United States during Clinton's regime and launched a series of attacks against us.

When	Attack On America
February 26, 1993	Islamic attack on the World Trade Center
October 3, 1993	Islamic backed ambush on US Rangers and Delta Force in Mogadishu, Somalia
April 14. 1993	Iraqi attempt to assassinate former President Bush
November 13, 1995	Islamic attack on US military compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
June 25, 1996	Islamic attack on US military's Khobar Towers housing facility, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
February 23, 1997	Palestinian attack at the Empire State Building
November 12, 1997	Islamic murder of US businessmen in Karachi, Pakistan
August 7, 1998	Islamic attack on US Embassies in East Africa
October 12, 2000	Islamic attack on a US naval vessel, the USS Cole

There was not even a hint by Clinton-Gore that they even considered serious plans to protect our nation and attack those enemies at war with us. Usama bin Laden was offered to Clinton-Gore, free of charge on a silver platter, on more than one occasion, by the government of Sudan. They refused. Clinton-Gore wanted a peaceful legacy—they refused to engage the enemy.

It is clear from the transcripts and facts presented here that Al Gore is a hypocrite, a liar, and a traitor to principles as the Vice-president to a "Commander in Chief" during time of war and attacks on our nation.

A greater shame is the failure by the Republicans to bring forth a loud and clear case to the American media and public about the facts and themes presented here.

The debased state of this nation is exemplified when a hypocrite like Al Gore is given major media exposure on a topic that he should be barred from even speaking on, or—at the very least—castigated for.

The only explanation for the exposure and lack of stern criticism to Gore's speech is a naive and apathetic American public, a socialist media that never asks the hard questions, and spineless Republicans who refuse to expose the truth.
