21. That's what I accused my Mexican friend of last week.

Oct 2012

He says its Gore's fault that we are in todays problems. He says Gore gave up too easily which I couldnt figure out why he would vote GOP since then. Then last week I figured it out. Gore wasnt macho enough for him because he quit and so I think he went GOP after that. He loves listening to "El Rushmo" every day who he calls SOO funny. He seems obsessed with the GOP myth that Gore says he "invented" the internet. I have told him a dozen times Gore said he created the internet not invented it but he's hopelessly gone now. He is poor with 2 kids and has huge medical bills he'll never be able to repay.
