Umm, do you know what biased means? Biased is when you base your opinion on already pre-established beliefs and associations.

Just because I believe Gore won, does not mean that I believe Gore won just because I like him more. That would be biased.

Bush can get up to speed with international issues? He is running for president! He should already be up to speed.

Gore did say he invented the internet, but everyone knows that what he meant is that he brought the internet into Washington and into the classrooms and homes across america. Bush knew this, yet made the ignorant, broken statement regarding same. Gores numbers were not "fuzzy", Bush just can't add.

It really doesn't matter to me who you elect. You will elect the man whom you feel best represents America. If that man happends to be George Bush....oh boy.

BTW, my being Canadian does not mean I do not understand the issues. Most Canadians, and citizens of other counties, follow world issues in other nations. Most americans, no offence intended, don't know what the capital of Canada is and think the capital of Australia is Sydney. So, I do understand where your comment comes from.

StSanta, I'm glad you appreciate the beauty of Gore's delimna in that example.

It was a shrewd media person who asked the question. I agree it may have been a bit of a trap for Gore, a "damned if you do, damed if you don't" situation.

Still.... after Gore has had time to think about it, what do you think Gore's answer to that question would be today? Yes? Or No?

The way Gore answered that question tells me that he has no principles to guide his path. If he did, he wouldn't have to "think" about whether or not he should execute a pregnant woman.

I agree that one should think before they speak...to a point.

Liberalism vs Conservatism aside for a moment, we elect a President to make decisions based on principles. Gore doesn't have principles, and his decisions will be based on what he thinks people want to hear. I find that lack of credibility disturbing.

Aside from that, I'm dead set against just about everything in Gore's liberal agenda.

Ahh well, to each his own.

<S>

Actually igloo he really did (at the time mind you) try to take credit for INVENTING the internet. Not bringing it into Washington, classroom, etc. As far as Bush goes, I neither like nor dilike him, Mcain will be president in 4 years anyways, probably will have a better chance of it if ALGORE get elected this go around.

The biggest thing that came out to me re: the presidential debate was how rude and obnoxious Gore was. I couldn't believe how he acted on national TV! How he didn't want to follow the rules that he agreed to!
Guess there was "no controlling legal authority" and therefore he could do anything he wanted.

Neither candidate impresses me much, but Gore lost any chance for my vote that night. The only reason I will vote in November is to keep the carpetbagger (Hillary) out of office.

ROFL!

Igloo - Please Stay In Canada!

I mean you can visit, but don't emigrate!

Whew!

Thank got igloo is in Canada! And thanks for that last statement about Hillary Igloo I was starting to take you seriously until that. hehehe Glad you know so much about my Govenor. Can you tell me anything he's done since he's been govenor? He's got more foriegn policy under his belt than dealing with Mexico too. Texas has a couple of international ports you know, lot's of worldwide business going on in this the 2nd largest state in the US of A. That may be hard for you to grasp but it's true

DUDE Gore is VP under what he calls the "best president in history" with a wonderful economy low inflation all that good stuff, plus he has 90% of the media on his side lieing about Bush and he still can't get a lead. The man is a LOSER plain and simple. He's the idiot, not Bush. I just hope they keep with the same playbook. They've used it since 1994 and it's got just 1 play in it. Lie about your apponent and demonize him say he wants to kill old people and starve children. Maybe just maybe the people have woken up to this tactic...

Igloo,

You obviously do not read your own posts. You claim to be open minded yet trash other people without actually reading or understanding what they are saying. You just condemn them for having an opinion different from your own.

Your first post in this thread was a classic. You claim you are unbiased yet surprised that Bush wasn't drooling?!?!?! That is supposed to be your idea of non bias?!?!?!?!

BTW dyslexia is not a mental illness. It has no bearing on a persons ability to reason or give thought to a problem. It is a reading disability that causes those with it to transpose other digits / letters into words they read or write. It has nothing to do with reasoning or ability to recall things or make decisions.

It also does not cause a person to make untrue statements. Like inventing the internet, going to school while on a farm (no farms in DC), listening to a union song as a lulaby (when he was 27!.) You really need to look at a very recent (Sept. or Oct.) issue of News and World Report for some of Gores most obvious verbal blunders about his memory. This guy is living on some other planet.

Now somehow the inability to determine fantasy from reality makes Gore fit for office?!?!?!?! That must be a liberal trait as you seem to suffer from it too.

If you like Hillary, invite her to live in Canada. SOON PLEASE!!!!!

Once again, I'll ask. Why would Hillary make a bad pres?

Who said dyslexia was a mental illness? I certianly did not. What I did say was that it sometimes causes problems with speech and your ability to be articulate off the top of your head.. This is why CNN asked him.

Just because I have an opinion does not mean I am biased. Being biased, as I have already explained, is basing your opinion on an already pre-established belief. I did not do that. Just because you want Bush to win, does not mean you have to say Bush won the debate.

Igloo this is getting funnier and funnier the more you post. You ask, why would hillary make a bad president? Screw that!! WHY WOULD SHE MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT?? Her biggest goal during her husbands blue dress stained tenure in the white house was medicare. She failed miserably. Anything she has touched has gone to toejam in a handbasket. So I ask YOU. Why would she make a good president??

Udie, thank god you posted here. I thought I was the only one who can wipe the crap out of my eyes that the liberals are trying to feed us.

Igloo, if you are for big government, taxation, power being taken away from the people and given to the government. Well then you can have that type of government. That is not what the USA is about. Read this part carefully.

Our government here in the USA is designed to work for the people. Not to control our lives by telling us what we can or cannot think or do. ALGORE'S vision is the closest thing to SOCIALISM that Ive seen in a long time.

Also, as a little sidenote....Have you ever read the Unibomber's manifesto? Well read that, then read ALGORE'S book. If you really are as unbiased as you say you are. You might begin to think if the same person wrote both of them.

Maverick · « **Reply #27 on:** October 10, 2000, 03:16:00 PM »

Igloo,

Your "open mindedness" is about as valid as Clinton's fidelity, ethics, veracity and personal courage.

Let me translate that for you.
Add it all up and it equals 0.

I think Igloo has been in the cold too long. His brain is frozen

As I stated earlier, his BS is posted to rile not deliberate. Some crave attention in whatever form they can get it...

Igloo · « **Reply #29 on:** October 11, 2000, 11:44:00 AM »

LOL, oh yes Eagler, that is my intention. Don't flatter yourself.

I'm not saying Gore is great. He isn't. Gore is just better than Bush. Both could handle internal problems, the framework for those dealings have already been established. Gore, in my opinion is better suited for international affairs that deal with very complex matters.

Label me liberal or whatever you will, I really don't care. Why label people to begin with?
