How can we ever trust Bush, I mean Gore Again?

Question

When I first saw this I couldn't believe I was hearing correctly. Then I remembered that liberals will say anything to serve their purpose of the moment, even if it is exactly the opposite of the stand they took yesterday.
Watch and make up your own mind.

I guess that sounded rhetorical, but I really want to know if you think Gore and other Dems are contradicting themselves when attacking Repubs today for exactly the same things they were attacking them for NOT doing 15 years ago.

Answer 1

You may try your best to obfuscate. The fact is that GWB has been a curse for the USA

Answer 2

Trust Politicians ?????? Do not do it
Top ten list of political lies you are told, all designed to make you believe that government should have more power than it already has, so that it can create more of the disasters we are accustomed to:
10. My new program will generate jobs. Truth: only the market generates jobs on net.
9. My education program will reform schools so that they leave no child behind. Truth: the public schools do not work very good for the same reason no government program can work. They exist outside the market economy.
8. My program will save industry x. Truth: industry must be part of the market or else it is not really industry at all.
7. I won't raise your taxes but I will pass lots of new programs: Truth: all programs must be paid for.
6. As president, I will pursue a humble foreign policy. Truth: nothing in the office of the president encourages humility.
5. This war is humanitarian and winnable. Truth: war is nothing but a government program on a massively destructive scale, and just as error prone.
4. My reform will bring market-based competition. Be on the lookout for this lie, which market partisans are likely to believe. There is only one kind of genuine market, and it is rooted in private property and nothing else.
3. We will secure the nation. Truth: government cannot provide security better than markets, any more than it can provide food or houses better than the market.
2. Government is compassionate. Truth: men who seek power over the lives of others are the coldest, cruelest humans of all.
1. You can't love your country and hate your government. Truth: A person who loves his country loves liberty first.
One hundred years from now, the great story of the latter part of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st century will be the vast improvements in life wrought by technology. Consider the web, the cell phone, the PDA, the affordable laptop computer, advances in medicine, and the spread of prosperity to all corners of the globe. What has government had to do with this? The answer is: nothing contributory. It has worked only to impede progress, and we can only be thankful that it hasn't succeeded.
Through all of human history, governments have caused frightening levels of bloodshed and horror, but in the end, what has prevailed is not power but the market economy. Even today governments can only play catch-up. This is because of the reasons that Mises outlined. Government cannot control the human mind, so it cannot, in the long run, control the choices people make. It cannot control economic forces, which are a far more powerful and permanent feature of the world than any government anyway.

Answer 3

Gore was criticizing Bush I and Reagan for aiding, supporting and encouraging Saddam. The events Gore was referencing occurred more than 15 years ago. What does that have to do with the reasons for the 2003 invasion of Iraq?

It is indisputable that Iraq had acquired WMDs, some of them, as Gore points out, with American assistance. The question, in 2003, was whether Iraq still had them and whether the country was a current threat. The UN inspectors weren’t finding any but, of course, Bush II wasn’t going to let them continue their inspections because the invasion was planned and was going to go forward regardless.

You’re trying to use old references to justify recent and current actions. That’s just dishonest.

Answer 4

I can also remember Bush saying the answer was not nation building during the 2000 debates, yet being a proponent of this in Iraq. The point is moot.

Many Democrats voted in favor of Iraq. What most people are not in favor of is a war that drains the economy with no end in sight and no limitations. We are losing our loved ones.

Answer 5

Typical, they say the GOP is Bad, Bad, Bad, by using the latest media crap. Apparently their opinion goes whatever way the wind blows trying to sway peoples to vote for them. The republicans do it some too but no where near as much.

Answer 6

you already know the Lincoln could maximum probable be a self sufficient now days bcoz neither social gathering has something to grant they the two feed you bull and then blame the different. Bush is now searching for yet another conflict so he can declare marshall regulation and be dictator.

Answer 7

Democrats or Republicans does not really matter. What matters is who put them there?
They are puppets and the strings are held by those who have money.
That's why it's always the same story.
God bless America! Yeah, what about us Canadian, are we aloud to be blessed also?

Answer 8

Follow the money.

Bush, Gore, Hillary, et. al., go no where without the sign-off of the "money".

Answer 9

I wonder if there can be a non-sputtering answer to this from people who considered Gore to be a reliable commentator on political climate.

I don't know who to trust anymore.

Answer 10

Sometimes you forget how boring he is. If he were president, we would have slept through 9/11.
