Gore Pushes for Private Investment in Space

dptalia writes "Al Gore said in a recent speech that more private enterprises need to invest in space. Gore pointed to the successful growth of the internet as proof that private investment is faster than government. Not surprisingly, Gore also lambasted President Bush's space policy."

Actually it is Gore who is saying "First Post" so that 5 years later he can say he invented private space enterprise.

Now if only he patented the Internet when he invented it, he could build spaceships himself now.

AND we'll get to credit him with inventing space!

He went on to add

[merc]

... that the dangers we face from ManBearPig are only exacerbated by a lack of private investment in space. He concluded his speech by asserting that he was quite "serial".

Good thing we didn't elect him in 2000 then, or else he would run up record budget and trade deficits with his liberal spending.

Gas would be $3/gal under Gore due to his taxed on the oil companies, while cutting taxes for his liberal Hollywood buddies. He would cut student loans and military hazard pay (students and soldiers emit CO2). He would starve science, education, and research investment of this country.

There would be massive unemployment because all the jobs would be outsourced to non-Kyoto countries like India and China; our Big-Three automakers would lay off millions and post record losses under Gore!

What's more, somewhere around August 2001 he would go to his forest to clear some bear-traps, all the while ignoring a PDB titled "Bin laden determined to attack American ozone using planes", which would have led to a great tragedy perhaps a month later... Which Gore would exploit to roll back civil liberties, torture random people suspected of driving an SUV, and even rolling back Habeas Corpus (or else the Global Warmists would win!).

Finally, Al Gore would probably invade some crazy country because Gore they were hiding the Weapons of Mass Polution

Good thing Gore was not elected, eh?

Al Gore questions

[Ice Wewe]

I have 2 questions for Al Gore...

1) What is your opinion on net neutrality?

2) When you created the interwebs, did you think it would be used for boobies?

Umm...

[billbaggins]

Maybe I'm reading a different summary and article than you did, but I don't see a reference to that misquote anywhere other than in your comment. Might want to have a neurologist look at that knee-jerk you're developing...

A meme back from the future

[Attaturk]

You know what this means. In years to come people will say that Al Gore invented commercial space travel. Of course we'll tell our kids that really all he did was use his position of power and influence as a means to assist in its growth. ;)

Re:Real Al Gore quote kiddies...

[aliscool]

Here are some real Al Gore quotes... they actually came from his mouth:)

"We need to defend our planet against pollution. As well as dark wizards."

"That's why I'm offering a bag moon saphires to the first scientist who can solve this problem once and for all." (In reference to global warming...)

"I must go now. To help collect cans on Jupiter. Peace out, y'all!"

Has to be said

[GorgarWillEatYou]

The former U.S. Vice President said his personal cause is to change the public's mind about "this planet crisis" to make it a top priority. The term "crisis" in Chinese is represented by two symbols together, he advised. "The first means danger...the second means opportunity," Gore said.

[grammar fascist]

You clod. He took the initiative in inventing the space program.

Is there no one left with any reading comprehension?

An inconvenient truth....

Accelerating a large chunk of metal to its escape velocity releases a massive volume of greenhouse gas.
