Poll question: If Al Gore was President would America be in a technological renaissance?
Edited on Thu Apr-28-05 08:14 PM by billbuckhead
Remember those prototype hybrid cars Al Gore coerced the car manufacturers to build and how Gore was ridiculed for them? Now Toyota is poised to drive GM and Ford out of business with hybrid cars.

Then Gore sure was in the right place at the right time at Google and Apple.

I bet Al would have challenged America into being more innovative which would lead to high paying jobs that save energy and promote the wealth and welfare of the nation.

2. Republicans are bad capitalists without the crutch of monopoly or
corruption, most of them can't compete.

3. This is very true.
Speaking of Gore, was his recent speech (re judges) broadcast on CSPAN, do you know?
