Bush/Gore - no difference (Score 1)

The difference between Bush and Gore is so minimal that it does not make any difference which one wins the election. Both support the death penalty, both have a terrible record in health care, welfare (Lieberman collects more money from the Pharmaceutical and Insurance industries than any other Senator). Both want to privatize parts of Social Security. Both will sell out to corporations at the expense of the environment and workplace safety. For all the talk about abortion, the Democratically controlled Senate approved the 2 most conservative judges on the Supreme Court (Scalia and Thomas) -- and Gore voted for both of them! Gore says he will protect the environment, but I didn't see Clinton/Gore do anything to stop logging in old-growth forests or closing the loophole that allows SUV's to pollute as much as light trucks. For all the talk about the Alaskan Arctic refuge, past history shows that Gore would sell it out in a second if given a big enough campaign contribution or if it is seen as unpopular based on some focus group poll. Here in San Francisco, state Democrats want to pave over 2 square miles of SF Bay to make room for more runways at SFO and they are even trying to re-write state law to exempt the project from environmental review -- that was the last straw for me. I'm voting Nader.
