[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 75979, member: 2189"] Positive! Once events began to move and it appeared Republicans were gaining ground in the arena of opinion it was important to rally the voter base in order to prevent a slaughter at the mid-term elections in Nov. 2002' which was about 6 weeks after Gore made this speech. What do you think Bush has been up to recently in his comments about the Iraq war? Elections BAY-BEE! The late Congressman Larry McDonald once told me the sole purpose in Disneyland East (Larry's name for Washington DC) is to "TAX! TAX! TAX!, SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!, ELECT! ELECT! ELECT!" That nails it to a tee! Are you sure you want to use this speech as your proof oh my little desert flower? There's tons of ammo to launch back at you from this speech alone for the Bu****es. I'll say nothing to see how sharp they are but a dull pencil could point many things out Gore said. Let me ask you this one question. Anywhere in that speech did Gore ever say the war against Iraq was totally unjustified in any manner at all? Answer is No he did not. Did he suggest a need for regime change? Oh yes he did. The only difference between Gore and Bush may only be at best the method but the real motive of vocal opposition is nothing more than political leverage.
