More people voted for gore than not. It is not his fault tennessee is a state of hicks. Bush stole the election in florida. Considering what a catastrophe Bush was I can't believe there are still some people snickering at Gore. Don't tell me you are on of those who gave W a positive approval rating? You are hopeless.
STEVEN MILLOY: Al Gore Lies to Congress "Itâs a good thing Al Gore didnât have to raise his right hand and take an oath to tell the truth before he testified on April 24 to the House Energy and Environment Subcommittee about the Waxman-Markey climate bill. GreenHellBlog.com first reported that Al Gore lied to the subcommittee about his personal finances during questioning by Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn. It turns out that Gore also lied to Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, who had asked Gore about his connections with the Wall Street firm of Goldman Sachs. While the connection between Gore and Goldman Sachs that Scalise probably was referring to involves David Blood, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management who is the co-founder with Gore of the U.K.-based investment firm of Generation Investment Management, the April 27 issue of Fortune unearths a more appalling connection between Gore and Goldman Sachs. In mid-2008 â six months after Gore joined the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins as a partner â Kleiner Perkins joined Goldman Sachs in financing a company called Terralliance â an oil exploration firm! As Fortune reports: Kleinerâs dirtying its hands in the oil patch was something of a head-scratcher. Back then the firm had recently hired Al Gore as a partner. But money is money, oil was trading for $140 a barrel, and Terralliance was said to have developed software that reduced the risk of drilling dry holes. It looked as if Terralliance could be a moneymaker for Kleiner, which had sunk a total of $65 million into the venture, an extraordinary sum for a VC firm â possibly its biggest single investment ever. But less than one year later, Terralliance has faired poorly, burning through hundreds of millions of dollars, according to Fortune. The salient facts, here, are not that one of Kleiner Perkins largest investments went south, but the following: â Kleiner Perkins and Goldman Sachs had both invested in Terralliance. â Given that Terralliance was venture capital-funded by Kleiner Perkins, Goldman Sachs and a few others, Kleiner Perkins and Goldman undoubtedly knew that they were essentially financial partners in Terrallianceâs success. â Al Gore joined Kleiner Perkins as a partner well before the firm entered into the Terralliance deal. â As a Kleiner Perkins partner, Al Gore must have known, if not approved of the Terralliance deal, and that it involved Goldman Sachs. At the very least, under partnership law, such knowledge is legally imputed to him as a partner. â Kleiner Perkinsâ investment in Terralliance was not trivial, but perhaps its largest ever in any enterprise. Gore must have known about it. Getting back to the April 24 House Energy And Environment Subcommittee hearing, when Rep. Scalise said to Gore, â⦠and I know youâve got interests with Goldman Sachsâ¦â To which, Gore made facial gestures that implied he had never even heard of Goldman Sachs. Gore then replied, âNo.â Rep. Scalise continued, â⦠well, thatâs been reported. If â is that not accurate?â Gore replied, âNo. I wish I did, but I donât.â There you have it. Al Gore flatly denying that he had interests with Goldman Sachs â when, clearly, he did. The irony is that during Goreâs exchange with Rep. Scalise, he accused the fossil fuel industry of lying to Scalise and the American people for 14 years about the science of global warming. As it turns out, the part of the fossil fuel industry that lied to Rep. Scalise and the American people was none other than Terralliance-investor Al Gore himself."
My god you are reading foxblogs? Par for the course. I don't think I ever heard Gore say we should stop using oil immediately that is unrealistic. I don't know how much realistic input Gore had into that investment. Besides, Gore preaches carbon neutrality and as long as that VC firm has several green projects as well(it does) it cancels out. All of it is a red herring.
What's funny, is your response. It's very similar to how Al Gore handles things- don't refute anything that is actually said but instead attack the person who said it.

"Posted: December 10, 2007 1:00 am Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2009 The United Kingdom court ruling smacking down Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" as shameless political fantasy unfit for schoolchildren elicited an interesting reaction from the former vice president. Did he challenge the court's findings? No. Did he provide new evidence to bolster his case for any of the specific findings of falsehood and exaggeration by the court? No. Did he argue that the court itself was corrupt or incapable of understanding the "science" behind his film? No. He didn't do any of those things. Instead, what Al Gore did was to make scurrilous and unsubstantiated accusations about the concerned parent who brought the case to court, at some personal sacrifice, to protect his child from the mental abuse of being forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth." Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider questioned in a Washington Post online blog whether Dimmock paid for his legal expenses himself or got help from others. Since she could not determine the answer to this question puzzling her, she determined that Dimmock's "motives are quite suspect." If this is not a case of the pot calling the kettle black, I don't think I've ever seen one. The people who created and distributed this propaganda film throughout the world are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. And here they are questioning the motives of one obscure parent who battled, like David vs. Goliath, the national education establishment in the United Kingdom and won! This is the definition of "chutzpah" â Tennessee-style."
I was waiting for you to bring up Gore's massive electricity use in his tennessee home. You are using scare tactics. Gore is bringing awareness. While we are using oil (and when oil was trading at rdicilous prices of $140) I don't see great harm in making some money off of it provided it you offset it. Great projects need seed money and sometimes money may have to come from activities that are less than optimal. Gore preaches CARBON NEUTRALITY not carbon abstinence. Inconvenient truth is not a book for school kids.
Al Gore got 48.4% of the vote so your statement that more people voted for Gore than not, is absolutely false. I also love how if you don't vote Democrat your are a hick. Bigotry is rampant on the left wing.
Hey, now you're starting to get it! Remember, we've only got 50 years before the world blows apart to due global warming. Better get that seed money rolling in.
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2003/aug/25/20030825-090130-5881r/ Here is a great article about the left smearing two scientist who didn't go along with the global warming tide. Who were they? Astrophysicists from Harvard. What did they do? They disputed the now-debunked 'hockey stick' put out by fraud, climate hustler Michael Mann.
Gore won the popular vote is what I should have said. He can't be a washed up politician. People who voted for W should be hiding in closets and repenting and not be out and proud (and snickering)
