(28,784 posts)why do you and buzz clik slap one another on the backs about the "usual suspects" and make comments to others here regarding their positions on various issues rather than simply address the (nonissue at this time) Nader and the media that lies to the American people?
That's not what you've done here.
If you want to talk about the lies from the media - you'll not likely find one liberal who disagrees with you on that point.
AFAIK, Gore won the election that the Supremes gave to Bush. Even with a third party candidate and even with Tipper annoying the entire music community with labeling. I didn't agree with Zappa - I thought she was reasonable when parents want to have some sort of idea about music for, say, preteens - but Tipper's crusade against music lyrics didn't do the Democrats any favors among liberals and the right is so entrenched, the labeling of lyrics didn't pull people away from Republicans, or so it seems.
As far as Gore - it seems he doesn't want to be in politics anymore - in the realm of candidate for office. It seems he doesn't want to exist in that world b/c of the compromises and the obsfucation required in order to appeal to a widely ignorant voting population.
It seems that he's no longer fighting that fight. So why are you? Or are you? I don't think you're being honest with this reply. In any case, as I noted below, you don't appeal to anti-authoritarians with authoritarian dictates. ymmv
