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!
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.
This thread has already turned into a Partisan bitch-fest, starting with the first post of ignorant claims.
Nobody knows WHAT Gore would have been able to do.
Nobody knows if Gore could have been able to prevent 9/11 from happening, even though we had advanced warning of the plot of attack, I believe starting with a February 2001 memo, if im mistaken correct me (not in a child-like manner either).
The economy, or at least the general stock market, was declining due to a lack of intrest in these "dot.com" businesses that had lost thier appeal, well, thats my opinion anyways, of the stock market, not sure how much of an effect this had on the overall economy. As far as the comment by SouthernDemocrat, I tend to agree with that, because from what I have seen, Clinton actually appointed people to positions who knew more about that position. Example FEMA, Clinton had a man who knew how to handle disaster recovery, Bush's first pick was one of his campaign managers/aids/whatever, who later went to work for Halliburton.
As far as what Gore would have done had 9/11 happened? Who the **** knows? I hate how people are making general statements about that. You can make an assumption on what he would have done up until 9/11 on foreign issues, but post 9/11, its completely difficult to assume.
With that being said, I don't really think there is anything else you can really guess, even the economy part is shady due to "if" 9/11 would have still happened.
And I swear to god if I hear one "hippy-retard" liberal say New Orleans would still be standing if Gore was president, I'll bitch slap your ass through this monitor, as it was a NATURAL DISASTER!
I'm probably going to be attacked for this post as being partisan myself, because someone will take my comments as Pro-Gore and beat them up.
What do I have to say to this? I went with the things that made sense, everything else is questionable.
