This is a time to remember the principles that made this a great nation, and to reaffirm them. I don't know what will happen in the election in November. What I know is that the nation is facing a crisis now. The Bush administration needs to step back from the abyss its ideology has dragged us to.

It may be that the president never understood what made the U.S. great. In that case, he'd be among those who could benefit most from a reading of Mr. Gore's speech. If he followed that up with a look at the Bill of Rights (it would only take a few minutes), he'd have a better understanding of what this country, at its best, is about

Thanks for the heads up.

2. It's a nice

relief from the kind of crap that comes from that hack Dowd.

3. I'm glad Gore's speech...

...which was excellent, is finally getting some due attention and consideration.

4. I wonder if GWB gives a whit about either the message in Gore's speech

or the principles upon which the Bill of Rights was based: if one is never wrong in policy or action, has purity of heart, and does God's work, what more is to be learned?

5. Herbert's summation of Gore's speech is excellent

Hopefully, this will be read by independent voters who are yet to make up their minds about whether to vote for Bush and his war.

I am confident that when all the facts are considered and weighed, no fair minded person will vote for Bush in November.
