"He framed the issue as part of the Civil Rights struggle, even noting that his father had sacrificed to give blacks the vote. Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Sr. lost his 1970 re-election bid, five years after helping pass the federal Voting Rights Act."
If I recall correctly, the old man voted against the Voting Rights Act or was that the Civil Rights Act?

Interesting that these churches always see the white liberal politicians only around election time. When it comes time for the Democratic Party to consider a black person for a statewide race, they're never given the slightest consideration. Its happened time and time again; in NJ with the Senate replacement for the bawlin' Torricelli, in Minnesota with Alan Page refused consideration to replace Wellstone, in Florida with a black man with lots of experience passed over as minority leader in the legislature; New York, with a denial of decent funding to Carl McCall.

Only rats can get away with lying, oops, campaigning in Churches. I wonder if he did his black Baptist preacher routine again:
"And the glory of the Lord came down.....!"

... "I'm concerned. For eight years, we had an economic plan that produced the strongest economy in the history of the United States," Gore said ...
I find it strangely gratifying that this clerk-like gentleman will go to his grave with the taste of sour bile in his throat, still railing about Florida, November 2000.

How is this possible? I thought republicans had burnt all the black churches in the south during the Clinton administration.

In a recent speech to the NAACP, Vice President Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights legislation. Fellow black Americans, let me set history straight.
Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.
In his remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Act, President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans for their "overwhelming majority." He did not offer similar praise to his own Democratic Party. Moreover, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, an Illinois Republican, collaborated with the White House and the Senate leadership of both parties to draft acceptable compromise amendments to end the southern Democrats' filibuster of the Act. It was Dirksen who often took to the Senate floor to declare, "This is an idea whose time has come. It will not be denied." Dirksen's greatest triumph earned him the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights Award, presented by then-NAACP Chairman Roy Wilkins, for his remarkable civil rights leadership

A successful campaign has its base sewed up weeks before the election.
When a Democrat candidate calls in the big WHITE gun to go looking for BLACK voters two days before the election you know he is in deep do do.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Ah yes, Gore the first black Vice President.

Sssshhh...please don't bring this up.
Al Gore is the Republican's secret weapon.
He will put about half the congregants into a stupor that should last at least 72
hours...at which time they'll wake up and say "who was that boring white dude?".
And hopefully Al will have updated his election seminar from "How to Punch Your Chad"
to "The Challenge of Touch-Screen Voting".
With the skills of the Father Of The Internet at work, the Jeb Bush will be assured
a clear victory.

"Vote so we can gain momentum and finally elect the first black woman President...Hillary"
To: Oldeconomybuyer
If I was a parishioner at one of the churches he was going to visit, I'd have Al and his entire entourage AND the vehicles they came in on searched for matches, lighters, kerosene...
And Senator Byrd's sheets.
The only thing a church burning ever benefitted was the Democrat Party.
Follow the votes, follow the money....
