I would like to just take a few moments to express my sincere thanks to Vice President Al Gore for not only losing the election, but also for taking the extra step of committing political suicide with his court challenges. It would seem that showing himself to have less character than former President Nixon (whom I never liked, though I must admit he had a deep enough sense of honor to do what was best for the country even if it wasn’t always best for him) isn’t enough for the VP. He must also show that he doesn’t have the capacity to grasp simple mathematically predictable events.
Consider the following:
1. More than half of the people who voted did not vote for him.
2. It is unlikely that he will ever be able to gain much support from those who did not support him in the election.
3. It is very likely that he will lose support by boring his audience with these endless legal challenges.
Therefore it is more likely that he will lose much of the support that he once had rather than gain any support. Just a short study of Ross Perot will show this to be true.
By following this fool’s course, Vice President Al Gore is committing political suicide and as such it is very unlikely that we, the voting electorate, will ever have to put up with his inability to get his facts straight ever again. For that, I most deeply thank him and those idiot advisors that surround him.
Maybe character doesn’t matter but it should. If Gore had any character, he would already have issued a concession and let the nation go about it’s business with one less sore loser trying to grab the spotlight.
