35. If Al Gore won, I'd still have my old job and a career.

Sat May 19, 2012, 10:23 AM

May 2012

I lost my job as a direct result of Bush administration actions, which definitely would not have occurred under a Gore administration. But, thanks to the five shitstains on the USSC, I still have no job, my savings is long gone, and my health is on its way out, too. I guess technically, this would all hold just as true for a Kerry administration, because technically, my job was axed during Shit-for-Brains' second term. But, the motions were set during his first. Had Kerry not had the election stolen from him, those motions would have been stopped.

And, then of course, there are the two wars, the Hurricane Katrina debacle, the economic collapse, and probably 9/11, that wouldn't have happened if history were different. Not to mention the tens of thousands of lives that wouldn't be lost or destroyed.
