35 REASONS NOT TO VOTE FOR
AL GORE, JR.
1. Gore thinks "human civilization is now the dominant cause of change in the global environment." Nevermind the sun, the oceans, volcanoes, and other natural phenomena that actually do control the environment.
2. Gore believes that "industrial civilization" is engaged in a "terrible onslaught against the natural world." Of course, without industrial civilization, we'd all be riding horses and growing our own food. Forget about cars, computers, air conditioning, television, telephones, plastic, pharmaceuticals, et cetera.
3. Gore’s "strategic goal" is to "eliminate the internal combustion engine" by the year 2020. This particular kind of engine can be found in automobiles, trucks, vans, and a whole host of labor saving devices.
4. Gore believes that the "cumulative impact" of automobiles "is posing a mortal threat to the security of every nation more deadly than that of any military enemy we are ever again likely to confront."
5. Caught making campaign finance calls from the White House, something that is against the law, Gore declared that there was "no controlling legal authority" regarding this improper behavior. Like any longtime legislator, he knew federal law prohibits soliciting campaign funds in a federal building.
6. Gore favored a government crackdown on the tiny trickle of electricity used by devices like television sets, whether they are on or not, because it results in a steady emission of carbon dioxide. All his talk of greenhouse gases and global warming ignores the fact that 95% percent of all carbon dioxide produced annually comes from the evaporation of water from the oceans, decaying organic matter, and the respiration of human beings and animals.
7. In October 1997, Gore told television weathermen gathered at the White House that global warming could be eliminated if the over-population of Third World nations could be controlled. This is a kind of Final Solution approach. The entire population of the world could live in Texas. Populations in industrialized, prosperous nations have steadily decreased.
8. Gore was responsible in having Timothy Wirth named Undersecretary of State. Wirth is on record saying, "Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we are doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." Since there is no global warming (the earth hasn't warmed in over 50 years), this is a justification for a bad policy based on bad science. Wirth now administers Ted Turner's billion-dollar gift to the United Nations.
9. Gore has pushed hard to make environmentalism the basis for our foreign policy. He called it "a turning point in US foreign policy." A turn for the worse since national security and the advancement of our economic growth is widely regarded as a sound basis for foreign policy.
10. While the economy of Japan remains stagnant, Gore advised them in 1997 to agree to "limit carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases" by supporting the much-disputed UN Treaty on Climate Control. This treaty exempts nations that include China and India. The US Senate is on record saying it will never approve it.
11. Gore attended an April 29, 1996 campaign fundraising event at the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple in Hacienda Heights, California and then called it "a community outreach" program. Three months earlier, his own staff had told him it was a fundraiser.
12. During his Democratic nomination speech, Gore told of his grief over the death of his sister caused by her having smoked cigarettes. He neglected to mention that his family's fortune had been based on raising tobacco in Tennessee and that the family farm continued to do so for years after her death or that he continued to accept tobacco industry political action committee money through his re-election as Senator in l990.
13. Gore once told reporters that Eric Segal's novel, "Love Story", was based on the romance between himself and his wife Tipper. When Segal said this was nonsense, he disclaimed his statement calling it "a miscommunication."
14. Gore has compared the "struggle to save the environment" to "the struggle to vanquish Hitler" adding that this time "the war is with ourselves." Apparently, the entire human race is now the enemy.
15. Gore advocates that the United Nations consider "the idea of establishing a Stewardship Council to deal with matters relating to the global environment." In other words, give the UN total control over the actions and decisions of sovereign nations worldwide. Meanwhile, the UN already has a plan for "global governance" complete with the ability to tax nations, set up its own permanent army, and now has an international court which can indict and convict American citizens.
16. Gore has written that the "deforestation of Haiti, perhaps as much as the repression of the Duvalier regime" was the cause of Haitian immigration, numbering over a million, legally and illegally, to the US. Sure, they all left because trees were chopped down.
17. Gore once claimed that, if the Republicans didn't go along with the Clinton Administration's environmental legislation, "our drinking water would be dirtier; (it) would make more people sick, and would kill more people." This is typical of his habit of over-statement and harsh attacks on opponents of his beliefs.
18. Gore has claimed during a 1999 interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer that "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." The preliminary discussions for the creation of the Internet took place in 1967 and, in 1969, the Defense Department commissioned the creation of the "Arpanet." Gore was 2l years old at the time and it would be eight more years before he was elected to the US House of Representatives.
19. Gore was a supporter of the creation of the so-called "Superfund" to clean up toxic sites. It was supposed to be a short-term program costing $1.6 billion. The program still exists and has cost more than $30 billion without having successfully cleaning up more than a fraction of sites.
20. Gore was an advocate of the "V-chip" to permit parents to block out programming they considered inappropriate for their children. It is widely regarded as a complete failure.
21. Despite the viewing public's disenchantment with the television show, "Ellen", starring Ellen DeGeneris, an outspoken advocate of the lesbian lifestyle, Gore lauded the star for "forcing" millions of Americans to "look at sexual orientation in a more open light." They stopped looking and the show was cancelled.
22. A comparison between the statements found in Gore's book, "Earth in the Balance", and the "Manifesto" of the Unabomber, demonstrates that it is impossible to determine which one is the author of which statement. (See "How to Tell the Difference Between Al Gore and the Unabomber" on this site.)
23. Gore is on record declaring William Jefferson Clinton as one of the greatest Presidents of modern times.
24. Gore has placed some of the most radical advocates of environmentalism in posts throughout the Clinton Administration, first of whom would be Carol M. Browner, director of the Environmental Protection Agency. The bad science, bad laws, and lies coming out of this single agency will impact the US economy for years to come. Another Gore appointee, the former director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Kathleen McGinty, has resigned to play a role in his presidential campaign. There are others too numerous to name.
25. Gore was put in charge of "reinventing government" in the Clinton Administration, but not a single union job was found expendable. Nearly three-fourths of the positions that were eliminated came from the Defense Department, which lost 16% of its civilian jobs. Many other jobs that were supposedly eliminated were "privatized", using government contracts. Other reductions came from retirements. The Federal Register of new laws and regulations has increased dramatically during the term of the Clinton-Gore Administration.
26. During the 1992 campaign, Gore said that the government should fund the "information highway", but reversed himself the following year saying the private sector should pay for it.
27. The Gore family had close, personal ties to oil magnate, Armand Hammer. After his defeat as Senator, Al Gore, Sr. was given a $500,000 a year job to head up the Occidental Petroleum's coal division. Hammer, however, was a longtime Soviet agent, a personal friend of Lenin and the only American to receive the Order of Lenin from the then Soviet government. Today, Al Gore, Jr. serves as co-chairman of the US-Russian Joint Commission on Economic and Technical Cooperation, better known as the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission.
28. Despite being provided with evidence in 1995 by the Central Intelligence Agency of the personal corruption of Victor S. Chernomyrdin, Gore dismissed the findings and did not want to receive further reports.
29. Gore's advocacy of the widely disputed global warming theory led him to blame it for everything from floods in North Dakota, droughts in Texas, and forest fires in Florida. One would think that floods, droughts and forest fires had never occurred before, but history reveals they are a common annual occurrence.
30. Gore did serve briefly in Vietnam, but his assertion that he came under enemy fire is false. He served as a journalist behind the front lines and never saw combat.
31. While a journalist in Tennessee, Gore said that his reporting "put people in prison." An examination of the record shows this did not occur and he admitted that he lied about this.
32. Both Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have admitted to being "recreational" marijuana smokers when he attended Harvard. The Clinton-Gore Administration is notorious for having failed to stem the flow of drugs into the country.
33. When President Clinton gave misleading testimony about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky to the Grand Jury and the tapes were shown on television in September 1998, Gore characterized his behavior saying, "My overall impression was that it was much ado about not much new."
34. On a visit to New Hampshire in 1998, Gore predicted that Clinton would end his term in office "with a distinguished record and will go down in history as a virtuoso performance, producing economic recovery and an American renaissance with new solutions to problems once thought impossible to solve." Most people believe Clinton has disgraced himself and the office of the Presidency. The nation’s economic success is attributed to the end of the Cold War and the former Soviet Union. Policies administered by Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve are also credited. By contrast, the Clinton Administration has been engaged in efforts to purchase more of the nation’s landmass to put it off limits to any development or the use of our natural resources. The Clinton-Gore Administration has attacked major industries that include tobacco and one of the most successful corporate enterprises, Microsoft.
35. Gore once accused then President Bush of having "taken our tax dollars and subsidized the moving of US factories to foreign countries", but omitted that the program he was describing, the Caribbean Basin Initiative, was one for which he had voted when he served in the Senate.
For these and many other reasons, Al Gore, Jr. is a proven, accomplished liar, an environmental fanatic, and co-equal with President Clinton in the cover-up of the Administration's scandals.

For these and many other reasons, Al Gore, Jr. is a proven, accomplished liar, an environmental fanatic, and co-equal with President Clinton in the cover-up of the Administration's scandals.Think this last sentenace says it all. Thanks for a great article.
Related to item #10, is his intention to inforce the Kyoto treaty by requiring government agencies to adhere to the treaty's requirements, despite the fact that Congress will not ratify it.
Gore is a one issue candidate (environment) - and he is completely misinformed on that one issue.
"27. The Gore family had close, personal ties to oil magnate, Armand Hammer."
Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer", by Edward Jay Epstein. Random House, 1996. Should be at your public library and is a good read.
Algore will have a tough time winning Tennessee (Home for me) in 2000. The reasons listed in this great post are just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to this mans incompetence.

ONLY 35? Oh, c'mon!
22A. Too many people, unfortunately, read his book.
The real problem for Gore is that this country tends to elect Moderates. Bill Clinton figured out how to move to the center and make himself appear more of a Moderate than the Moderate George Bush. Gore can't do that because, if he moves to the center, he's still to far to the left to get elected.

In October 1997, Gore told television weathermen gathered at the White House that global warming could be eliminated if the over-population of Third World nations could be controlled.
There is a problem with overpopulation of the planet- with the population increases we're currently seeing, it's an accepted fact that we'll have problems feeding them all. Truth is, even though the USA produces something like 40% of the food consumed, we won't be able to keep up with the demand- even when the assumptions of increased crop productivity due to improved pesticides, genitic manipulation and improved equipment and irrigation methods, are taken into account.
There was a FReeper who mentioned that the population of industrialized nations is decreasing... The answer to that is... Yes, and no.
The birthrate of a given population, just to maintain a steady population, has to be about 2.1 children per couple- this accounts for child deaths due to accidents, sickness, etc., which may prevent them from maturing to child-producing age.
In the USA, the birthrate for American citizens is slightly above 2- I think 2.005, or something like that. In other words, people born and raised here, are not having enough children to maintain the current numbers. BUT, the population IS increasing- to the tune of ~800,000-1,000,000 per year. Only about 15-20% is due to legal immigration, while the rest is due to illegal immigration.
World-wide, the birthrate is somewhere around 2.5 (if my memory serves me correctly)... The overall birthrate is due to indigent people popping out babies on a regular basis. As we (industrialized countries) send them more food and medicine, they can't be bothered to plant fields, establish irrigation systems or industries. In fact, even if they did, it wouldn't matter- there are simply too many people for the land to support on a sustainable basis... So instead, they simply make babies, which in turn also require more food. And so a starving mother bears 3-4 kids, who also starve, but make 3-4 babies, etc...
To solve the overpopulation problem, we have to have the political stones to do a simple thing: stop sending them food. If we send them anything, it should be irrigation equipment, farming equipment and tools, seed, fertilizer (we could supply most of the 3rd world, with the fertilizer coming out of Washington, DC...). Let them learn to feed themselves.
By doing this, wouldn't a lot of people starve, you may ask? The answer is, of course. The population would decrease... back to a point where the number of people could be sustained by the land... This is the natural cycle of any species...
Isn't this a cruel solution, to sacrifice a group of starving people to reduce the population, you may ask...? The answer is... NO. Which is more cruel- sacrifice a million people now- by letting them fend for themselves, or trying to keep feeding them, until the population has reached 100 million, and we can no longer feed ANY of them...?
So when some schmuck dipsy-doodle idiot like AlGore flaps his lips, you'll know better...
BTW, I think we could cure GLO-BULL warming by taping shut the mouth of EVERY liberal in the USA... ;-)
One other one left out: Gore has continued to claim that his father was turned out of office because he voted FOR the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when, in fact, his father was one of the ring leaders against it.
You are right. I keep forgetting he lied about his Father's defeat. That should be near the top when we use the list. Thanks!
Not voting for Al Gore will help the Republicans get elected. Should we care?
Release the dams for Gore's photo op!
Dorkus Maximus
(see Dukakis in a tank)
"Gore is a one issue candidate (environment) - and he is completely misinformed on that one issue"
Especially when he wasted 4 billion gallons of toilet water just to float around aroused.
When you call it toilet water, I think that maybe it was appropriate to release 4 billion gallons - for the world's biggest turd.
P.S., gotta love that title.
You are so right, and most on this forum have got to realize the real enemy!
he is completely misinformed on that one issue
A 'one issue candidate' he's not, he also must also carry his approval of the Clinton "behavior" with him forever.
On all issues, he's wrong or lies!
Yes, wasn't it a wonderful expose on Hammer and his slimy cohorts. Surprising who was at his table?.
Some I don't believe, but a good read anyway!
LOL...many many more to come!
HiYa Doll, Chinese Monday-Ok?
Of course, he's a true democrap leftist, but if he 'appears' centrist he may pull it off.(God Forbid). If we can remind people of his true beliefs..We can keep him in the leftist pig pen!
Wow..I truly appreciate the links.
To hear it in his own words adds a special revulsion that is wonderful for the cause. Thanks!
Quote the raven: Never Gore, Never Gore!
(apologies to Edgar Allen Poe)
schmuck dipsy-doodle idiot like AlGore
What an excellent description!
I would add a lot but I'd be banned.
Looks like the public senses the same shortcomings. He's had almost seven years on the stage, and from what they've seen, they don't want to give him the top job.
The results of a Washington Post poll to be published Sunday show Gore getting support from 67 percent of Democrats and only 28 percent of the Independents, with fully 25 percent of the Dems opting for someone else entirely (the lion's share going to Bush presumably).
Bush, on the other hand, claims 92 percent of the Republicans and 60 percent of the Independents.
Wonderful news...but I don't like 67% democrat support. I think Bradley would be a "sitting duck" ala Dukakis while Gore learning from the master of slime would be much more difficult. What do you think?
The only one that matters- he has been infected by Bill Clinton.
Interesting question. Gore's negatives are pretty well established and widely known. And, there's not a whole lot he can do to change them. His handlers have tried to animate him, but he still comes off lifeless and dull. He's a tree, and he'd need a huge transplant of animal essence and a transfusion of warm blood to change his image. I tend to believe that unless the Republican nominee (likely Bush) self-destructs, the final vote will split pretty much as indicated by this--and similar--polls. That would probably mean a landslide victory for Bush.
I'll tell you one worry I do have. It is how Bush will fare in televised debates against Gore. I listened to Bush speak in person about two weeks ago, and he did not come off particularly well when addressing impromptu questions. He was hesitant and unfocused. Gore might be wooden, but he seems to think fairly quickly. A televised contrast could turn mushy image-conscious Independents toward Gore. I hope the Bush I listened to was just tired and that he will do much better when the national spotlight is directly on him.
Bradley would be Dukakis redux if the voters were to get a strong whiff of his far-left liberal stink. Bubba found ways to perfume over the stink. I don't think Bradley is half as devious. So, I think you're probably right. A Bradley nomination would likely result in just as big a loss for the Dems, if not bigger, than Dukakis'.
Thanks for the link! You got my anti-gore vote!
Hey, I'm ready - just give me a minute to freshen up.
Hello Billie: Concerning your point #24 about gross E.P.A. mis-management my brother is a cotract worker for them in the Research Triangle in North Carolina. He reports that the E.P.A. has + or - 25000 employees in Washington D.C. and that the "field hands" covering the remainder of the nation number + or - 5000. This is NOT GOOD VALUE! I do not have the exact numbers to back this up but I do believe my brother. Correct me if I am mistaken in my counying. ATTILA
#8Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we are doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." Since there is no global warming (the earth hasn't warmed in over 50 years), this is a justification for a bad policy based on bad science. Wirth now administers Ted Turner's billion-dollar gift to the United Nations.Wasn't it this "silly sap" algore that said "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?
This "poltroon" is much like the "Hayseed Dummy" that used to sit on Edgar Bergen's knee and "duh" all over the place.
The difference is Gore doesn't have anyone with intelligence to do his talking.
Hello, Attila,
I had to look back to see what you were referring to! I first thought maybe I had posted reply #24, and then I realized you were referring to the article itself. This is a very old thread (almost a year old), and I think you meant your reply for Lonnie, who posted the article. (I never like to take credit when it's not due me........hey, not the blame either!)
Here's the ONLY reason not to vote for Algore: Gore Presidency = Clinton's Third Term!!
Now, I'm no Al Gore fan, but whoever posted this list should use their head more than their feelings of hatred for Al Gore (I mean, you should expend your energy in some other way... in my opinion). I couldn't read beyond reason no. 6 on why one shouldn't vote for Al Gore. It stated: "All his talk of greenhouse gases and global warming ignores the fact that 95% percent of all carbon dioxide produced annually comes from the evaporation of water from the oceans, decaying organic matter, and the respiration of human beings and animals.".... Well well well, Mr./Ms. smarty pants, there is a very substantial difference between carbonMONOXIDE and carbon DIOXIDE. One is harmless, the other is not. Perhaps if you actually cared to listen now and then instead of blindly shooting yourself in the foot, more people might actually think you have something substantive to say. -raf
There have been numerous posts regarding the myth of overpopulation. Contrary to the "we're running out of food" hysteria, in nearly all cases the problem is lack of distribution (and lack of economic and social freedom) due to political/tribal/feudal war and/or tyranny. The overpopulation malarkey is a taxpayer funded ploy by the socialists and pro-abortion movement. Follow the money.
hmmm... Why do I feel the onset of an aneurism wheh I read this list? Oh well, I gained a lot of respect for Mr. Gore after reading through this though. Lets have a look at it together though. 1. Well I don't know where this person has been living for their life, but it obviously wasn't the planet Earth. Here on our beloved biosphere the annual rate of background dieout of species has increased from an average of 6 before the Industrial Revolution to about 2000 per year now. I could talk about the loss of habitat and ecosystem, but I am sure you have already been inundated with such detail previously. I bet you didn't know that the massive floods that uprooted millions and killed thousands of Chinese in the past few decades are all attributed to major loss of forrest in those areas. Guess what, it wasn't the sun, oceans, or volcanoes that destroyed those ecosystems. 2. In scratching the ugly surface of humanities crimes aginst the planet in the first comment I have already evidenced the fact that yes industrialized civilization is engaged in such an onslaught. I am pretty sure however that Gore does not espouse the return to horse and buggy. In fact in the very next attack on Gore I believe it is pointed out that he is looking towards the implimentation of renewable energy sources and more environmentally friendly modes of energy production. 4. Yes, the polution that vehicles are putting into the air are already proving deadly. Thousands die every year from respiratory diseases brought on by large particulate matter in the air. America will never fight in another war in which we loose one thousand men a year. By the way a random bit of trivia here. How many times has America declared war? The answer is 5. 5. If you don't like the fact that politics don't play by the rules vote for Nader. I would keep going, but it is much the same. I would love to talk more about this with anyone so please write to me.
