You know, not even Bush would say something as stupid as that
Even in Bush drug policy there is not the tiniest bit of support for the idea of making America literally drug free.
People don't seem to understand that Gore was willing to jump up and down on the stage and pump his fist in the air for an idea that even the neocons have rejected as unrealistic.
When a leading Democrat is enthusiastically advocating a plan to escalate the Drug War beyond all reason and proportion, in the name of a utopian ideal that even the neocons reject as unrealistic -- this is very bad news.
If Gore ends up the nominee and he fails to retract this idiot idea that he stood behind so enthusiastically in the 2000 convention
then I PROMISE that I WILL NOT VOTE AT ALL in 2008.
The nice thing about Obama is that you'll never hear idiotic crap like that from him.
I was enjoying this campaign for the most part until the prospect of Al Gore reared its ugly head.
The man would have to turn the country literally into one giant prison to even get close to accomplishing his dream.
Imagine how much wiretapping would be necessary to do that.
I spent a horrible year trying to keep my house alcohol-free while an alcoholic was living with me.
I found myself turning into fascist during that miserable period and I did not like that feeling at all.
That's what Al Gore wants for America?
If he doesn't explicitly disavow this "drug free America" crap, then no way can I ever vote for him for anything.
He wants a fascist America if he wants a drug free America.
How can a Democrat raise his fist to fascism without any other Democrats complaining?
It's scary.
He should stick to global warming and stay out of drug policy completely.
