you're going to hear a lot of scare mongering over the next several months.

"remember when nader handed bush the election?"

i don't even care if it's true or not. the reality was that gore was just as bad as bush, which is why he couldn't sway left-wing voters.

some of you have short memories. some of you are just young. all of you should read this, to jog your memory.

reality check: al gore was 100% in support of the invasion of iraq, and was even partially responsible for it.

"So this time, if we resort to force, we must absolutely get it right. It must be an action set up carefully and on the basis of the most realistic concepts. Failure cannot be an option, which means that we must be prepared to go the limit. And wishful thinking based on best-case scenarios or excessively literal transfers of recent experience to different conditions would be a recipe for disaster." - al gore on the iraq war, 2002
