Any other ideas as to what marvels a socialist Gore presidency would have bestowed upon us?
There is always the internet. :roll:

Economically not much would be different becuase he would have inherited the same recession that Bush did. The economy would have the same growth since 9/11.
Overall, Gore would probably not have gotten re-elected becuase he would seem weaker on foreign affairs and he would not have had time to implement domestic policy because of his version of the War on Terror. Bush got re-elected because he was a strong confident war president, and Gore would not have projected the same image to the people.

SouthernDemocrat said:Moreover, Gore on the economy would have been much like Clinton. He would have targeted stimulus towards consumption, put together an economic team that was very wallstreet friendly (like Clinton), and maintained fiscal discipline and minimal deficits, like Clinton, which would have encouraged foreign investment like during the 90s.

AK_Conservative said:How could you possibly say this without any premises to support your conclusion. There is absolutely nothing that suggests it would not have! I agree with Kelzie that there is no way of knowing and why should you be reflecting upon this instead of FURTHERING your political agenda? I guess you guys like to focus onthe past and "what if" scenarios rather than getting stuff done!
I know kelzie wasnt meaning on how far i went, but i had to step it up a notch!
Caine said:Before I start out my rant, I would like to comment on the bolded portion above by saying that, Remember, It was a "Gore-Hater" that started this thread with the intent to do just what has happened.
AK_Conservative said:What does that have to do with my post? Are you saying i play party politics?
Caine said:Yes, in a sense.
Based upon other posts I have seen you make, the BOLDED quote text of my previous post leads me to believe that your comments were not directed towards the person who started this thread, which is the real person to blame here if you are going to make statements like the one you made.
Ive rarely seen you agree with a Democrat on any issue, so, how could I come to the conclusion that you were actually referring to the guy who started the thread with all his baseless assumptions of how Gore would run the office?
AK_Conservative said:Ahh so you think reflecting back to see what would of happened if gore won is a paralled argument in my ideology? I dont care if your democrat/conservative/green/blue/ or pink! If i dont agree with you, so be it. I dont play party politics like some of you! Secondly, reflecting back on gores loss has nothing to do with ideology! Plain and simple! Thirdly, Kelzie isnt a democrat, she is a socialist, which is further down the spectrum but it does disproves your point!
You underestimate me highly Caine!
Kelzie said:Did I hear my name? Are we talking about how great socialism is?
AK_Conservative said:HAHA far from it!
Kelzie said:I'm tired of your lying lies, you liar. I know we're all closet socialists here. :lol:
SouthernDemocrat said:Well I don't know, good to see that you have a nice crystal ball that lets you know these things.:roll:
I say that if Al Gore would have won, that he may have been more on top of things,
,9/11 may have been completely thwarted like other plots were during the 90s
and we might be sitting here talking now about how the the last 5 years had largely been a continuance of the peace and prosperity that were the hallmark of the Clinton / Gore Administration.
