Image a world where Al Gore won the 2000 election. Maybe he would have done the same things that Bush did:
- Pull the plug on the hunt for Bin Ladin
- Ignore warnings of an imminent terrorist attack
- Invade Iraq until false pretenses
- Give huge tax cuts that apparently pay for themselves with economic growth
- Stack government science committees with fundies
- Use a pseudo-scientific definition of life to pull funding on stem cell research
I am sure that Gore would have made many annoying mistakes, but you are fooling yourself if you think both parties are the same.
People in politics are motivated as much by their personal beliefs as anything else. Judge them by what they do.
