Leroy, tho I much more wanted to see a public refutation for the Clinton 
Gore years and of course, I was incensed when Gore made his aborted coup 
attempt.

Not really, tho I know you've changed your views: you don't know how much 
worse Gore would have fvcked things up.

The issue is that, as an adopter of the "Bush must be opposed" world view,

all facts must be rearranged such that maximum criticism of anyone not in 
the club can be properly denounced as unrightous.  Since you fail to 
wholeheartedly adopt the view that since Gore was a polticval opponent of 
Bush he must be good and therefore all criticisms of him are invalid, it's

clear that your patriotism is suspect.
