    I used to play on the net during that time, and thought it was cool.

    THEY HAD DSL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AMAZON?// THEY DON;T EVEN HAVE CLEAN WATER AND BATHROOMS!!

    But most Americans had not even heard of the internet and they had no idea what was an email.

    E-MAIL IS NOT INTERNET....E-MAILS HAVE BEEN AROUND A LARGE CORP'S FOR YEARS


    Without the US government programs created to help wire the high school system of the country plus most public libraries in the US with internet access –
    IM PRETTY SURE THE US GOV'T BASICALLY OWNS THE INTERNET...CHECK IT OUT



    these were the seeds that were planted (and Al Gore played a major role in the creation of these systems) and helped develop from the ground up the internet system that we have today.

    Al Gore was instrumental in creating the policies that helped build the foundations that in following years developed into the internet that we have today.

    WHAT? TELL ME AND THE WHOLE WORL EXACTLY WAHT HE DID????????

    I know that you are a right-winger and the fact that Al Gore played a major role in creating of the foundations for the modern internet it must bother you more than anything else.
    HOW? WHAT? SPECIFICS? BILLS? FUNDING?? WHAT?????


    Your purpose is to ridicule Al Gore at any cost with simplistic statements instead of having the intellectual maturity to understand what really happened during the early days of the development of what became the internet that we have today.
    AGAIN ...WHAT? SPECIFIC PROGRAMS HE SPONSORED?


    For all practical purposes Al Gore was at the ground floor of the birth of the modern internet –
    HOW? PROVE ME WRONG..SPECIFICALLY WHAT DID HE DO??????

    You told me that you are a right-winger conservative and in your world everything is right or wrong, black or white, or you are with me or you are against me, and so on…
    PROVE ME WRONG...WHAT DID HE DO??????? SPECIFICALLY?

    In a nutshell: a very narrow-minded mindset view of the world and reality.

    WE SHALL SEE WHO IS NARROW MINDED...BTW..FOR THE 4TH TIME...WHAT SPECIFIC BILLS OR PROGRAMS DID AL GORE SPONSOR OR CREATE AS SENATOR OR VP THAT MAKES YOU LIKE HIM SO MUCH??

    SouthAmerica: Reply to DM...Direct

    I know I will not be able to convince you about anything regarding Al Gore since your purpose it is just to ask for prove after prove to the end of time.

    After the internet issue you will want as prove to convince you - that the temperature has to reach 100 degrees centigrades all over the planet before you accept the concept of global warming.

    SouthAmerica: Al Gore is looking more and more viable with each passing day…..

    At this point only idiots can’t recognize that the 2 current Democratic Party candidates are damaged goods and either one will not be able to beat John McCain in the general election in November 2008.

    You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the Democratic Party has 2 choices right now:

    1) Draft Al Gore at the convention and win in November 2008 with a strong mandate.

    2) Go with either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama and hand the victory on a silver plate in November 2008 to John McCain.

    In a Nutshell:

    Al Gore = Victory for the Democratic Party in November 2008.

    Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama = Defeat for the Democratic Party in November 2008.

    “Tired voters say Democrats' primary fight divisive”
    By Andrew Stern
    Reuters – May 7, 2008

    CHICAGO (Reuters) - Many Democrats are frustrated and fatigued by the longest U.S. presidential nomination battle most have witnessed, and the divisions in its wake have left some wondering if they can back the ultimate winner.

    "I backed Hillary in the (Wisconsin) primary, but no matter which one gets in, I'm unimpressed by both of them at this point," said Linda Mrochinski, who works for a nonprofit organization in Milwaukee.

    "Instead of a policy-based and a 'what we can do' campaign, it's become a campaign of the women versus the blacks. It's just not a very comfortable campaign at this point," she added.

    Random interviews conducted after Tuesday night's split voting, in which New York Sen. Hillary Clinton eked out a victory in Indiana and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama won handily in North Carolina, showed many voters would like the Democrats to get it over with.

    "Pick somebody, because I think it's probably hurting them in November," said 23-year-old Chicago software developer Matt Sawin, an Obama supporter who said he would back Clinton if she won the nomination to run against Republican presidential candidate John McCain in the November election. "It's going to be messy, no matter what."

    In exit polls of Democratic primary voters in Indiana and North Carolina by ABC, more than six in 10 said they would be satisfied with either Obama or Clinton as the nominee, leaving substantial numbers unsatisfied. In Clinton and Obama matchups against McCain, anywhere from a quarter to three in 10 Democrats said they wouldn't vote, or would support McCain.

    Merlyn Ware, 37, of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, a town northwest of Minneapolis, is an Obama supporter who said he would not back Clinton if Obama loses the nomination.

    "I wouldn't vote for a Republican. I'm going to vote, but maybe for a third party" in that case, he said.

    After Tuesday's contests, Clinton vowed to fight on though Obama widened his lead in pledged delegates to the party nominating convention in August.

    Many Democrats say the battle has dragged on too long. "I think it needs to end, like, within the next week," said Lisa Gibson, 33, a homemaker in Louisville, Kentucky.

    "I care for both candidates actually. I would rather have them come together on the same ticket because I think if any more really bad campaigning goes on I think it's going to alienate one or the other," she said.

    WIN-WIN?

    "For me it's a win-win," said Allyn Travis, the director of the Montessori Institute of Milwaukee. "Obama is my preference because I love his optimism ... the Clintons have baggage. But, if it comes down to a choice between Hillary and McCain, I'm with Hillary all the way."

    But Clinton supporter Herb Buecher of Charleston, South Carolina, said he would no longer back Obama after hearing controversial remarks by Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

    "I can't support a man who sits for 20 years and listens to that rhetoric and then says he didn't hear it," he said of Wright's comments, which have included the assertion the U.S. government purposefully spread the AIDS virus to blacks and the September 11 attacks were payback for U.S. foreign policy.

    Buecher said he would vote for McCain if Obama wins the party nod.

    Clinton's gender and Obama's race -- she is vying to become the first woman president, he the first black president -- may be a factor in hardening some voters' loyalties.

    Others were turned off by what they saw as Clinton's harsh attacks in the back-and-forth between the two Democrats.

    "I don't like her politics. She's nasty," said Susan Crozier, 68, who works at a law firm in Blaine, Minnesota, and backs Obama.

    Crozier and some others not aligned with either party said that in spite of the infighting among Democrats, they could not stand having another Republican in the White House out of dislike for President George W. Bush.

    "Either way, whatever Democrat wins the nomination I'm ready for a change of party in the White House. Normally I vote for the person and not the party, but not this time," said Dean Davis, 42, a health care worker in Nashville, Tennessee.

    LOL, Algore ain't giving up the cushy job he has now turning a bunch of BS into gold. This Glow Bull Warmening won't last forever, and he's got a lot of bank account to fill. Who was it that turned straw to gold? Algore has that beat in spades.

    Oh, but he can't wait to ditch that, watch his freaken diamond mine get destroyed on a worldwide stage while he works his @^% butt off campaigning like a madman, and maybe win the Whitehouse where he spends his days kissing congressional @$$ to get some loser bills passed. Yeah, how can he turn down that great opportunity?

    It's pretty mean to say Algore is that stupid. I mean, even I wouldn't stoop that low.

  10. Anyone here think that Hillary might actually be angling for the VP slot? I can't see it happening given the fact that she is a power hungry Clinton, and 60 yrs old. She doesn't want 2nd place.

    The reason why I am thinking about this is that she has to know after Indiana that the Super Delegates are now going to fall in the Obama camp, so why take it to convention? Maybe she is staying in the race to raise enough money to pay herself back for loans taken?

    I can't figure this one out. She is an ultra competitive super bitch, but she has to know she can't win. Maybe the Clintons have some ugly dirt on Obama that they are holding back?

    What say you ET?
