Reply #4: To start: 1. Gore was legally elected in 2000........ [View All]

2. Gore lacked Clinton's political skills, and it's likely much of his agenda would have been stalemated.

We don't know that, do we?

3. Though some believe September 11 wouldn't have occurred had Gore been President, we'll never know.

Never would have happened because Gore would never have told the intelligence agencies to back off from spying on certain Middle Eastern groups.

4. Gore would have acted in Afghanistan in much the same way Bush did.

If 911 would never have taken place, 911 would never have happened either.

5. The economy would still be in a downturn. It's likely that more jobs would have grown under Gore than under Bush, and certainly our trade policies may well have been somewhat better, but remember that Gore was a free-trader as well, and would have been attacked for this on the left and by Nader.

Not even remotely correct. There would NEVER have been an economic downturn because Gore would never have implemented the fiscal policies implemented by Junior such as the tax-cut for the wealthy. No war in the Middle East would have caused far less strain on the economy which has resulted in six different requests to raise the debt ceiling. Gore would have also seen to it that the Federal programs subsidizing each of the fifty states would never have been cut.
