True, true. My point was that Gore would have never gotten us there

That is a real stretch. Let's see: Bush got a DUI, VS. Gore invented
the Internet, was the inspiration for Love Story, discovered Love
Canal, grew up at the Ritz-Carlton (not a farm), wore four button
earth toned suits (which showed how fake he was). Then there was the
union-lullaby flap, the doggy-pill flap, oh yeah and he sighed during
the first debate when Bush lied through his ass. That is just a
sample of the fake stories invented about Gore. Despite all that
utter bull**** being dumped on his head, he still won the popular
vote. At least Bush really got a DUI, even though it should not have
been a story.
