Al Gore Doesn’t Deserve to be President

“Jeb was supposed to deliver Florida and, boy, did he ever.” - Ani DiFranco (live on the album So Much Shouting/So Much Laughter)

No you’re not reading the headline of a Weekly Standard editorial from an alternate reality. I’m talking about this reality, where the Bush team stole Florida. They really did. It’s a fact, not paranoia. A fact reported in rest of the civilized world.

I’m not talking about hanging chads. That was a bunch of crap, which distracted from the real game, the bogus felon purge list. Read the Greg Palast book THE BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY or check out the chapters on his website or rent/buy the DVD UNPRECEDENTED. The felon purge, which is a moronic concept anyway, was used to cast a wide net and toss out legitimate voters, primarily blacks because they tend to vote for Democrats.

Gore doesn’t deserve to be President because he didn’t stand up for himself or the country. In the beginning of FAHRENHEIT 9/11, when the Black Congressional Caucus is trying to get 1 Senator in a joint session of Congress to join them on a bill to investigate the Florida irregularities. Not one senator will join them. Not Vice Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman. Not President of the Senate Al Gore. Not any one of the Senate Democrats. (Where were you then Robert Byrd?).

On top of that, Palast gave to the Gore camp the information he had in December 2000, when he thought only 22,000 people had been wrongly purged from the voter rolls. (Later research revealed the number of disenfranchised voters was much higher.) According to Palast, some Gore people wanted to fight, but they were overruled.

This doesn’t mean that Bush deserves to president, either. He is craven and cowardly, but he’s not as big a wimp as Gore.
