I mean, yes, I wish President Gore pushed harder during that fiasco, which could have possibly avoided 9/11.

We had a usurper during that era, who unfortunately got validated in 2004. Those were some dark times.

I just couldn't believe it. There was a feeling of hope the day prior around the DC area, and then that happened in 2004. Everyone and the mouse seemed down the next day.

I will never forget the vice president debates when Cheney said something about government not having anything to do with the money he made and Haliburton made, the audience laughed and wimpy Joe had no rebuttal. It was a flat out LIE. I so wanted him to point out just how many government contracts Haliburton had. But like every other typical right wing politician, these flat out lies go unchallenged.

He kept us safe!

Peace
