Reply #12: I would hope that Gore would have worked even harder than Carter for

peace. Who knows how he would have stood up against what turned out to be a pnacer/baron mission to take earth resource control of the world.

His involvement with the environment might have allowed a genuine alternative energy push.

I believe Republicans in power for seven years and the pnacer regime gave Leiberman everything he wanted, except perhaps to do his thing from behind the veil of the Democratic Party. He has blatantly been able to be a war machine soapbox orator and a fearless Iran bombing pusher for the corporate, military, media war machine and their counterparts in Israel. A total disappointment.

I don't think he would have been able to have that power had he been VP. On the other hand, if alternative energy lobbyists had paid Leiberman, he probably could have swung that way.

It all would have depended on who the leaders were in Israel.

It is interesting that so many leaders around the world were as right wing as Cheney in parallel (but are now failing in some of those same countries). Who leads Israel makes a big difference in this country. Joe really connects with the war agenda. I sense no pursuit of peace coming from him. I now consider anyone who promotes the bombing of Iran a traitor to this country, by my standards.

I remember being estatic that there was a religious breakthrough for the P-VP combination. I was supportive even though I acknowledged that I didn't know much about him.

How ignorant I was. In looking at what I've learned about the DLC, I have a lot of doubts about the entire selection and match. I think Gore was more 'matched up' by the DLC than independent. Who knows for sure.

So who really knows which side of him we would have seen after eight years with Al Gore.
