And yet he was overwhelmingly voted for by Texans, even Texas Democrats.
OTOH, Algore did not win his home state.

They had no choice but to stop the activist FLSC from changing the rules to
elect Al Gore.

I believe what you said about wanting to kill Jews.

Considering Bush's appointees were barely getting into their offices, I'd
say the fault was with the former department heads of the Clinton admin. The
head of the FBI took office on 9-6-01 because the Dems held him up so long.

Are you connected?

The shortcomings of those departments under Clinton will soon be

You'd have to have been asleep for the last 30 years to not know what those
specific countries have been doing. It's been all over the news.

If that's even true, it's rightly so. Better for the good guys to have the
weapons.

And yet terrorists are no longer trained there....hmmmm.... I guess you

soccer stadiums ehhhh?
