do you think we would be hearing all these moronic 9-11 conspiracy theories?

In my opinion there would be few if any of these theories. And I don't believe that conservatives would propagate or advance them.

PGB, I tend to agree, but I doubt they would have gotten so much airplay on the internet.

I think there would be moronic 9-11 conspiracy theories, but their character might be different. Their sources might also be.
As a matter of fact, Clinton-Gore did allow a rather considerable growth in the activities which led to the 9-11 attacks, and they did almost nothing in the face of such open attacks as Khobar Towers, the African embassies and the USS Cole. Much of the success of the attacks was due to the failings of the CIA, largely the product of the Clinton administration's management for 8 years.
While I don't fault the Clinton administration as having caused or participated in the attacks, I do think their inaction allowed al Qaeda to gain strength and facilitated the attacks.
The theories would be there, but they would not necessarily have come from the opposing party. They might well have come from the more radical left factions, and certainly from those who just buy conspiracies, no matter who conspired.
All of this is speculative, of course, since Gore didn't win, and we can only guess at the circumstances and how they might have transpired. But there has never been a shortage of morons, and moronic theories follow them.

We'd probably hear a lot more griping from the right about Bin Laden not being captured yet, something the left seems too stupid to fully exploit.
On the other hand, given the fact that had Gore won in 2000 he'd have faced a Republican congress and senate, there probably would have been much more division post 9/11, and probably a strong push to blame Gore for not anticipating the attack.
The left would have lost the election in 2004, had Gore won in 2000, simply because Rove is far smarter than idiots like Bob Shrum. Really, the fact Gore didn't win in 2000 and the fact Kerry got slaughtered in 2004, was primarily due to Shrum, who was always an advocate for gutless, "say nothing" campaigns.
You feed the people pablum, and the electorate will not come out in strong numbers to support you. I wonder if the Democrats will learn that lesson in 2008? I highly doubt it, given some of the rhetoric I hear from the Clinton campaign.

Oh - there is merely lots lack of understanding here that's confusing to correctly known the place to commence. a million. There might nevertheless be international warming - yet there does no longer be the US intentionally undermining international tries to confirm it. 2. Al Gore already has a employer advertising carbon credit. He buys carbon credit for his very own jet commute and electrical energy utilization. 3. Al Gore has never claimed to have invented something. 4. Canada's ideal earnings tax point is 29% federal tax and 17.80 4% for the right provincial value. hence the optimum marginal value may be purely 40 six.80 4% 5. Canada's finished (government plus inner maximum) regularly occurring value for well-being care is merely over a million/2 what that's interior the US and that they nevertheless get a greater constructive well-being gadget than we do.

Yes, gullible Americans got these conspiracy theories from Pallywood type organizations. Radical Islam would have employed this kind of propaganda regardless of which party the president belonged to.
**Yeah, I agree. They say Democrats are demographically younger than Republicans, so I doubt there would have been as many 'bandwagon jumpers' who are for anything against 'the man'.

Because they were all concocted by the left just to find a way to bring Bush down I would have to say no.

After 9-11 we would be asking what was America. We would have disappeared if it weren't for W.
