Oh, I will fully admit I haven't read it, and yes, I googled it.

But I've never read Clinton's, and have no intention to read it.

I have never read any of the bullshit politico books on either side, and have no intention to. Both sides spin and put forth lies (intentional or not).

Vint Cerf, who was one of the driving forces behind the internet, even says Gore was misquoted, and what he DID say was taken WAY out of context.
Again he said "I took the initiative in creating the Internet". You're talking a matter of semantics. "Created" or "invented". You're a very picky and literal guy when it suits your interests.

Regardless it was a ridiculous claim to make. Al Gore was known for his exagerations. In his defense he did have a sense of humor and joked about it on later public appearances. Al Gore is an ass, but in his defense he is no where near the level of lunacy displayed by the current crop of unworthy Democratic candidates for president. Joe Leiberman is the only one who comes close to being somewhat qualified and possibly sensible enough to be in the running.
But again, he didn't say he created or invented. He took the INITIATIVE. And he did. Before he backed it, there was no internet as you know it today.

I do agree though, the current crop of dems...sorely lacking. Honestly, I don't think there's been a decent Democrat since April '68.

Gore can say stupid things. But one thing nobody on either side will deny - he knows a hell of a lot about issues, regardless of what they feel about his *opinion* on them.

I videotaped him once. Saying he is wooden is being generous.

Do you not see the word "created" in his quote?

The internet was here long before Al ran for his first elective office. While he did support computer and telecommunications issues while in the Senate, we would still have the same internet today even if Al Gore had never existed.

Both big Al and his boss Bill Clinton belong in jail or standing against a firing squad for their treasonous technology transfers to China. That's how much these guys thought about our high tech industries.

There hasn't been a Democrat who really cared about America or our national security issues since Truman. Even his predecessor FDR was socialist scum.

I disagree. I'm not that impressed with JFK, but I think his brother would have been good for the country. But, that's neither here nor there, as he never got a chance to show us.

It'd be nice if we got a politician, any politician, who would be honest with us. I recall reading where all the dem hopefuls refused to say what their position was on the gay marriage thing. I'd have been most impressed with one if they said this: "Do I have a problem with it? No. Would I support it? No. No because we have more important things to worry about than that."

Don't know how JFK was thrown into the mix... but all the Kennedy's are no good bastards. Always were and always will be.

JFK sealed his fate with The Bay of Pigs. His brother Bobby was a notorious scumbag and backstabber who had amassed many powerful enemies. The country was better off without him.

The gay issue will be in the forefront of the general election. The current crop of vermin are trying to slime their way through the primaries and hiding their real faces from their Democratic voter base in order to win the nomination.

Here is an example of Democrat lunacy. Nancy Pelosi ( a card carrying member of the Socialist International ) wants her fellow Dem congressman to have birthday parties for the anniversary of Medicare. She even passed out detailed instructions on everything included the type of cake to order. WTF!!! This is how this anti-American, multimillionaire socialist bitch spends her time? Is there any friggin Democrats who give a shit about what is going on in the world. Are socialist governmental programs all that matter?

Only brought JFK in to simply say I thought RFK was better. As far as him being a backstabber - that's utter nonsense.

Heck, you should appreciate him for his nonstop attack on Hoffa and the corrupt unions.

Which is really pathetic. We have more important issues than that. MUCH more important issues.

RFK's dealings with mob types, CIA and the ongoing use of both in the numerous plots to kill Castro did them both in. He backstabbed all of them. He initially did not want to use mob operatives in his Cuban operations but he quickly became involved. Playing both sides against the middle. All at the same time going after Hoffa and other mobsters. Let's not forget the mob helped fix the election in Illinios and Nixon never demanded a recount. Probably because he did not want to be the first guy to do this in a presidential election. Maybe he also feared Kennedy use of mob types and possible mob retribution. Who knows. You can't play both sides against the middle with people like this and emerge unharmed.
