That is stupid horseshit man. Good GOD. You claim to understand the issues and that Americans don't, et all, but you clearly don't, in that Gore WON THE POPULAR VOTE. Forget to read the paper that day? Or are the majority only stupid when they vote Republican? God, this is not only pathetic, it is disturbing. And, frankly, all Gore and Bush gave the voters were the political equivalent of a Happy Meal, ie, "I'm pro-education." No shit?!? You mean, you don't want to drag our students out of school by the short hair and blow their brains out? Maybe you are also anti-violence and pro-happiness, and other incredibly cutting edge stuff. God. If Gore had treated the American people as adults and talked to them in that manner, providing his point, and then backing it up with information, he probably would have won an even greater number of votes. Also, I know some dumb voters, and they said they thought Gore's blandness was simply worse than Bush's stupidity. That's all.
