An honest question to those who voted for Gore

G

George Hill

Staff Alumnus
There were several guys here who had the stones to admit to this rather biased group that they were going to or had already voted for Gore.
Now that we are over a week past the Election...
And we see clearly the actions of the Gore team going rather skewed to Gore's words... and we hear the Gore team confess to planning to use the resources of the goverment to investigate political enemies... and seeing the actions of the Palm Beach Democrats who are crying an outrage...

What do you think?
How do you feel about these actions of your choice of leader?

Please - this is an honest question and I'm not going to allow any flames or character slurs here.
 
There are prople so dedicated to the idea of a socialist utopia that the end justifies any means. Then there are those who are purely stupid. That is not character assasination, it is a fact. I'm sure there are others and I too look forward to their rational replies
 
Better question. How many Gore supporters are going to complain when their man makes gun ownership a thing of the past? I've heard morons who voted for Clinton despite being NRA members, whine and b!tch everytime he pushed for a new gun law.
 
"Better question. How many Gore supporters are going to complain when their man makes gun ownership a thing of the past? "....Out of all the gun owners in my family. I'm the only one who voted Republican. The others think their gun rights are being lost, because of the Republicans. And that the only thing Clinton ever did wrong was get a B.J., from someone besides his wife, and got caught. Besides that he has never did anything wrong. They have always been life long Democrates (they always vote Democrate no matter what), and blame all bad things on the Republicans.
 
PB-

I too, was raised a Democrat. I was told [brainwashed] to vote the Democratic ticket no matter what. That was until I got the truth. God's Word. After you get "the truth", everything else is elementary.
 
RBK, most Democrats are Democrats and Rupublicans are Republicans for reasons like you mention: it's the way their family is, and it becomes part of the way THEY are. A component of their personal identity, in other words. Such people rarely find issue arguements or anything else persuasive enough to change their votes. Change only happens as a result of unusual life-changing shifts in their self-identity, as when you found faith.

Asking such a person WHY they voted for Gore is like asking a person why they, say, like to eat their favorite foods and listen to their favorite music. It's just part of them being them.

Now exploring why the more uncommitted "independents" voted for Gore is more interesting. As far as I can figure, that boiled down to personal chemestry--some found Gore more "likeable," some liked Bush.

Onlky a distinct minority really looks at issues and philosophy in depth, and I think very few of the independents do so.
