Al Gore

    Even though now you think of Al Gore as a stiff businessman, apparently at one time this wasn't so. He supposedly used to be a "normal" teenager... I'm not sure if I buy that, but I guess it could very well be true... just visit his campaign website and you can see a clock counting off the days that Bush has avoided a debate with him. That was obviously the work of a smartass worthy of my admiration. Once again, just because Gore seems like a nice guy doesn't mean I'd want him as the leader of the free world...

    My main reason for having a bad vibe about him is the fact that he tolerates his wife. Hear me out here; In every interview for every candidate you have the customary fluff piece known as the "Family angle". Gore family angles always circulate around how he loves his wife more then ever and that she is perfect in every way. Gore's wife is a bitch. That may sound a bit harsh, but does anyone here remember Tipper Gore?

    Tipper founded the P.M.R.C. (Parents Music Resource Center). You know those little "Parental advisory" labels on CD's? That was Tipper. Her little group was pressuring the government to legally define obscenity, and she would have loved it if she could have gotten anything declared "Obscene" banned from stores. She was so persuasive that the record companies agreed to put on the parental advisory stickers as part of a kinda plea-bargain.

    Gore supported the decency act. The decency act was the major piece of shit that basically said we don't know what's good for us and should have all things "immoral" taken away before we hurt ourselves with it. You know those people who blame video games, movies, and Marilyn Manson for everything? Guess where those pricks really started coming out of the wood work...

     Now that is probably the worst thing I have on him. That he is conservative to fault. True, that is bad, but he is no where near as conservative as his opponent, so I guess I can forgive that rather then dealing with Bush. 

     The rest of what I have against Gore is small and really just nit-picking. For example, he wants to appeal to minorities but doesn't know how. The next time he walks up to a black man and tries to get him to "high-five", I will pay that man to "accidentally" miss and smack him between his eyes. Not maliciously, I don't want Gore hurt, he seems to be a semi-decent guy. I just want him to either stop playing minor stereotypes, or play the big politically incorrect stereotypes so we can all laugh at him. I'd love to see him bopping along in a low-rider listening to rap music with a pimp-cane in the passenger seat and a 40 on the dash-board. I'd actually pay to see that if I could bring my trusty digital camera... whatever it cost me to see it would surely be made up by the money I could get through blackmail... 

    All and all, Gore is bad, but better then Bush. So if I were you, Mr. Voter, and I wanted to vote for one of the two major competitors, I'd vote Gore. Well... I wouldn't... I'd vote "None of the above" and write in "Cyclops"... but that's just me...
