AXO - gee, thanks so much. But are they really talking about the series at the cooler where you work? I hope you're in New York...here, people just yawn...it'll be Yankees, just a question of when (NOT said with pride, not a Yankees fan here)
OK, back onto the soapbox:
"Gore is about giving insurance to the 44 million children in this nation that do not have insurance. Gore is about offering everyone a fair shake at an excellent education, not just the privileged and the one in twenty who would qualify for Bush's proposed vouchers"
Hmm, under Clinton/Gore, how many FEWER people have insurance now than when they started? What is the number? I think it is 8 MILLION - roughly the entire state of Colorado.
Clinton/Gore campaigned on this message in 1992. What happened? NOTHING, even with a Democratic majority for the first two years in the Congress. Clinton/Gore again campaigned on this message AGAIN in 1996. Result? NOTHING happened. Now, Gore is STILL campaigning on this SAME, OLD, EMPTY-PROMISE message. Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting a different result.
Gore is offering EVERYONE a fair shake? Really? I get an estimated $4300 in tax relief from Bush, and as far as I can figure with Gore, it's $220 or so...but then, I'm not sure I "Qualify" because I might not be part of his "targeted" cuts.
Gore for better education? How? Do his children attend public schools? No. GW's do. The proposal he has gives $500 Billion (Yes, Carl Sagan's favorite number, "Billlllion") to FIX school buildings. Bush offers a similar amount for schools to do with what they want..fix buidings, hire teachers, train teachers, outreach programs, etc....
It comes down to a fundamental difference in philosophy: Gore is for big government: who determine what you get, when you get it, and how you get it, whereas GW, the next President of the United States, trusts the PEOPLE to determine: what they need, when they want it, and how to get it. Isn't the Consitition framed with those words "of the people, by the people, and for the people"? If you want Gore as president, please support an Amendment to the Constitution to change the word "people" in the above quote to "government"...that, in my opinion, is exactly what you'll get.
