Wow! Thank God for the electoral college.
Those founding fathers really knew what they were doing.
Had the Constitution called for direct election of the president of the United States, a clearly mentally unstable man would be sitting in the Oval Office right now.
That’s my conclusion after watching, listening to and reading Al Gore’s speech to the Moveon.org-New York University crowd this week.
The man is unhinged. He’s deranged. He’s unbalanced. He had better get out of New York as quickly as he can because, as Ralph Kramden would say, “Bellevue is calling.”
Here are some of the descriptives this psycho used about President Bush, who, like him or not, is leading the nation in a global war against an implacable, wily and murderous foe:
- “he has brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world”
- “he has brought deep dishonor to our country and built a reputation as the most dishonest president since Richard Nixon”
- he has pursued “policies that resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women and children, all of it done in our name”
- he designed and insisted upon policies that established “an American Gulag of dark rooms and naked prisoners” and a policy of “torture” at Abu Graib
And, irony of ironies, while the former vice president was doing all of this unprecedented name-calling, he had the audacity to accuse the Bush administration of introducing “a new level of viciousness in partisan politics.”
He also characterized U.S. Iraq policy as evidence of “the worst strategic and military miscalculations and mistakes in the history of the United States of America.”
Several times in his prepared speech, Gore talked of morality.
One wonders whose morality, whose values, guide him.
- Can he really not distinguish between the errors of a handful of low-level soldiers and National Guardsmen in Iraq and the policy of a nation?
- Can he really not distinguish between his own party’s political ambitions and the best interests of his nation?
- Can he really not distinguish between the torture chambers of Saddam Hussein and the prisoner abuse at Abu Graib?
- Can he really not distinguish between a presidential election campaign and a war to defend the lives of American citizens from terrorists who want to annihilate us with weapons of mass destruction?
I don’t think Gore can distinguish between those realities. I don’t think he is any longer in touch with reality and truth. I think Al Gore, at some point in his life, sold his soul.
Remember, this is the guy who decided how he would vote on the first Persian Gulf War resolution based on which side in the debate would give him the most speaking time on the floor.
And he talks about morality and values.
This is the guy who thinks the biggest threat facing mankind and the planet is the internal combustion engine.
And he talks about morality and values.
This is the guy who stood by a president who disgraced the office in a thousand ways – among them, selling high-tech national secrets to hostile foreign powers for campaign cash, selling presidential pardons, accosting women, threatening them and abusing them, targeting political adversaries with all the power and force of the federal government.
Perhaps worst of all, he stood by a president and was part of an administration that for years ignored and covered up attacks by the very enemies we face today so they would not have to take responsibility for defending America’s vital interests and its civilian population.
President Clinton and Vice President Gore betrayed their oath of office to the Constitution and to defend the United States most blatantly when they blamed these attacks on “accidents,” on talk-show hosts, on “right-wing Christian militiamen,” on any convenient scapegoat but the real enemy of Islamo-fascism that has been at war with the U.S. since at least 1979.
Somebody get this guy a sedative. I really believe he needs medical and psychiatric help. Throw a net over this man before he does any further harm to this nation.
Has Trump 2.0 learned from Trump 1.0?
