a picture as you do. I have never trusted him, especially not after his lackluster, "me too" campaign against Bush. That election should have been a walkover with a laughably incompetent opponent. How could anyone campaign as badly as he did except on purpose?
In particular, the Clinton administration was already bombing Iraq, so we may well have had an Iraq War, and Clinton was the one who signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall, so we still would have had the economic meltdown.
There's very little space between the Republican and DLC stances on economic issues, so I wouldn't have been surprised at tax cuts.
The only things I'll admit to are that a Gore administration would have handled Katrina better and that Gore would have appointed CENTER-right-wingers instead of HARD right-wingers to the Supreme Court.
