i was going to respond with all sorts of LOGIC (you know, if one is true and two is true blah, blah, blah)

the bottom line is (if the DU source I cited is correct) that Gore said he would have voted NO ... the bottom line is that the Democrats betrayed us by doing what they did.

and the bottom line is that the OP very clearly intepreted Gore's words to mean he would have voted YES because there were no other options.

it's interesting to go back over the other responses in the thread now that we know how Gore would have voted on the funding bill.

spin this anyway you like; twist it and turn it upside down; sugar coat it with hot fudge ... the Democrats gave bush more money to continue a policy that will do nothing but bring more death and more suffering and more madness ... i can see no justification for spending another day in the killing fields ... and frankly, forget all these idiotic timelines too ... bush should have been given funds only to protect the troops and bring them home as quickly as their safety allowed ... no more money for offensive operations ... see you in September ...
