Anyone remember him? He's old now but tells the truth better than today's heroes.

Al Gore was not the milquetoast the MSM presented him as. Not by a long shot.

[GoreWon2000]

1. Thank 5 anti democracy repug SCOTUS judges and compliant dems in Congress

who couldn't abandon Al Gore fast enough in 2000 for the nightmare our country and our planet are now facing. They've caused too many Americans to give up on democracy.

[Skittles]

2. Sandra Day O'Connor spent a lot of time trying to justify that bullshit

fucking DISGUSTING

[GoreWon2000]

3. I agree with you. O'Connor finally admitted the truth in 2013

that the SCOTUS should never have taken the case which was way too little and way too late. That anti-democracy decision made the current nightmare that our country is now facing possible.

[Skittles]

5. it really tarnished her legacy

that's the only thing that bothered her

[UTUSN]

8. I distinctly remember she exposed herself on Election night 2000 or the day after:

News reports within a day or two said she was in a buffet line with her husband, and during one of the seesaw times that Al pulled ahead she said, "This is TERRIBLE!"

[GoreWon2000]

9. That incident has been well documented

by media reports citing numerous witnesses to her very public outburst. It was certainly grounds for her recusal from the case which she thumbed her nose at.

[GoreWon2000]

6. O'Connor failed miserably

Too many people see that anti-democracy garbage decision for what it is. It made possible the nightmare that our country is now facing.

[Skittles]

7. absolutely correct

America is in real trouble now, and the Supreme Court is now a total extension of the GOP.

[Hekate]

4. I well remember Al Gore & the rest of the fiasco that started us on the slide to where we are now

Thx for the link

10. If Al Gore had been allowed to take office

There would have been no invasion of Iraq, an early assault on greenhouse gasses, no Citizens United, and a country with uninterrupted democracy. Sandra Day O'Connor may well will be recorded in history as the one person who had a chance to impede a generation of evil, and chose not to. By 2004, we had devolved to this:

11. He's doing pretty well for a guy Maureen Down accused of lactating in the NYT 2000.

Democrats are easy marks sometimes, often naive, you know. They can't recognize fascists while swooning over and applauding their bon mot.

[malaise]

12. Yes indeed

He also told the truth about the assault on reason.
Sadly, ignorance is now bliss

Rec rec. rec

[TheKentuckian]

13. A different iteration of Gore that was far less buttoned up than the Senator, VP, or candidate.
