    Yo......XJUG1987, what's up with the Commie Libs comment???? You gotta lot of nerve cherry picking your argument without talking about the Bush empire, or perhaps Romney or, etc, etc, etc. Man you need to take a long look in the mirror if you're calling Gore and Clinton a two faced fraud and realize that Republicans have taken that top position for the last 7 years. Get with the program XJUG and start calling a spade a spade instead of continuing the blind diatribe as spewed forth by the GOP.

    Typical liberals. Should a Republican have left office and gone through the "revolving door" or profited from their "Public Service" the Commie LIbs would be out raged. Gore had alot even before becoming Veep because his Father, another former Senator, profited from his office. Gore is now worth mult-millions. Clinton however, has never had a real job either. He has never lived in a house he actually purchased and paid for. Both have been living off the Govt since they arrived in Arkansas. The house in New York has a guest house they rent to the Secret Service for the total morgage they hold on the entire property. They are also worth in excess of $50M. They are disgusting hypocrites who care nothing about anyone else, but want to use the offices they hold to profit for themselves. Gore couldn't care less about anything he "preaches" about, because he doesn't walk the talk. Did Mother Theresa live in a palace but talk about caring for others? Again, Gore and Clinton, 2 faced frauds.

    You know I have a little request to make of Newsweek. In the area of New Jersey where I live , we have at least 3 large dumps for garbage and other refuse. If I want to look at it, I can take a ride and do so at any time. So please, don't put pictures of Gore, Clinton, ( either of them ) Giuliani, or Bush and Cheney on your site. And to add insult to injury , you inform me of how much money he is making. As if we poor unwashed ignorami are not aware that all politicians are corrupt. Do you really think we are so dense as to think that those who enter politics do so for the good of their fellow man ? That would put us in the same category as George Bush who thinks he was elected because we wanted him. He's there because we thought , erroneosly of course , that he was the lesser of 2 evils. And believe me, evil is the operative word here. I hope he sees this picture of Gore here. If I had never seen Pork on the hoof, you could bring me this picture , and I would never be at a loss to describe it again. Looking at Gore reminds me of all of Hillary Clintons Pork barrel projects, or as they are called today, earmarks. You know, if they put all the candidates into a barrel, Republican and Democrat alike, shook them up and reached in and pulled one out, you couldn't come up with one that was honest and above board, or who could speak straight, save Mr. Tancredo. This is not a push for him, just an honest statement. At least you know what he has stood for, and still stands for. No waffling here. We do not vote for anyone anymore. We vote against someone. That is why Georgie Boy is in and fatso Gore is making millions more that Georgie is as President. " Course, calling Georgie President is stretcing the truth , as well. Him and his administration are so crooked they could all hide behind a corkscrew.If you think a fisherman can lie, just ask Georgie how the "Surge" is going. Everything's fine they say, but desertions in the military are up again this year.. I'm sure it's not because they are afraid of the Ice melt that ' Ol Al is predicting.... Assumming that what he said about that were true, what the "H ' does that have to do with Peace ? I mean , Nobel Peace Prize , for a Steven Spielberg scare ? If words were birds, Gore would be covered with White. aka, Andy Rooney about Howard Cosell.

      You are walking down the sidewalk and see a $100 bill flutter to the ground, do you pick it up and pocket it or chase down the individual who dropped it and give it back to them? You pocket old Ben and feel no guilt what-so-ever. Ninety-nine percent of people are corrupt to some degree. If making use of your intelligence, education and the opportunities that come your way to obtain wealth is corrupt then we all are corrupt and the constitution tells us we have the right to be so. Let's face it, we vote for the person who promises to make our own personal life better. Who cares if they make it better for anyone else. I started working at age fourteen and struggled to have the basics in life until I was disabled in my early 40s. It's a struggle to live on the $700 a month that I draw. But I don't begrudge those who succeeded in having more than I do. And to rail against those who do prosper is just sour grapes. If we want a better life and a better world to live in perhaps we should take a good hard look at ourselves..... back to the question .... You are walking down the sidewalk and see a $100 dollar bill flutter to the ground ........ hmmm

    You're right about all of that, but there's FAR more going on! Take a good hard look at the ACLU and how they are changing our laws and the Constitution!
