Imagine if Al Gore would have been president for the past 8 years!

[Tim4319]

Would the economy be in the state that it is in now?

Would there have been an attack on the Twin Towers?

Would we have invaded Iraq?

Would Joe Lieberman have turned out to be the Benedict Arnold that he is today?

Wow, just imagine. Siiiiiiiigh!

1. Id rather think about what *can be*

rather than what could have been. If I allow myself to ponder your OP... I might go insane.

2. Answers to your questions

A. Maybe. The subprime lending started before 2000. However, we might have taken action a LOT earlier and kept the damage to a minimum.

B. Yes, likely. Al Qaida began planning it years before. They might have still pulled it off. However, our response would have been much better.

C. No. Gore would have kept the focus on Afghanistane.

D. Lieberman would still be VP.... and there would be no Iraq war.... so no. We wouldn't yet know what a dick he was.

3. Can't do it....too depressing....too infuriating

We've got to find our way out of the desert. Gotta take our country back. Gotta look to the future. Obama/Biden.

I still think we should have 3rd party candidates involved in the debates next time.
