Had Gore been President and had done exactly to a T what W has done,

[indepat]

Poll question: Had Gore been President and had done exactly to a T what W has done,

what percentage of the vote would he get in November, considering how he would be portrayed/crucified/vilified especially by the mainstream media not to mention every RW talking head, every Republican, most independents, and a goodly number of Democrats?

1. There's no way in hell I would vote for him again if he did all this. n/t

[laruemtt]

2. with the congress what it is,

he'd be impeached!

[arcane1]

3. he could have done everything PERFECTLY

and they would still try to impeach


hell the articles would've been drafted immediately after the election

:grr:

[rogerashton]

4. I dunno, but

I would sure as hell vote Socialist.

[DemBones DemBones]

5. He'd have already been impeached.

GOP bastards.

6. I'm sorry...I know it's a use-your-imagination thing, but

I just can't imagine him being stupid enough to

- sit on his ass while the country is being attacked

- attack a country for no good reason

- land on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit

- clear brush on a fake ranch

- give a plastic turkey to a bunch of GIs

- hire somebody as stupid and evil as John Ashcroft

etc.

7. He'd get very few votes

because every news channel would have a running ticker of "Day XXX: Osama not found"

[Swamp Rat]

8. Other

Less than .000000001%

[zbdent]

9. Point invalidated. 9/11 would not have happened under Gore's Presidency

because he would be too busy trying to stop a civil war perpetrated by the repukes.

[Ready4Change]

10. Other: He'd have been impeached by now.

Not only would the right wing have crucified him, but I would have supported the action.

It's possible Gore would have done some things different. But, had he done things just as Bush has done, he'd have to go.

Whether I'd vote for whoever the Republicans put up against him, or a 3rd party candidate, depends on who they were. But again, had Gore acted as Bush has, I'd be voting ABG.

11. Impeachment or assassination by Wellstoning

Perhaps assassination by Kennedy/Kennedy/King-ing but probably not.

bad PR.
