Poll question: Do you think Al Gore is being set up?
OK, want to talk dirty, let's see what you think about this one. Nobel Prize winner former Vice president (and should have been President) Al Gore has been accused of groping three women and is now separating from his wife. Is he just another John Edwards, or is he being set up by forces who deny climate change and/or belong to the forces of the petroleum industry?

1. Most men enjoy the company of women...
some married men even enjoy the company of women other than their wives.

2. the district attorney will not investigate Gore allegations
announced yesterday. Not enough evidence to proceed, plus the accuser's story was inconsistent.

4. Why are you posting this, AL GOre was CLEARED , the accuser had no credibility
why are you asking as if it's still a question of whether he did it ?

13. Why do you care? Is discussing salt content at the Olive garden more important?
Or are you one of the 'under the rug' people here that whenever the credibility of the Pukes comes into question, distraction and thread collapse is the solution?

5. If Al was being set up, those doing the set-up would've made SURE
They had something that would stick.

Most of the Right did enjoy seeing Al be put through this, but I don't think there was a plot.

After all, what's the point of taking down a RETIRED politician?

6. I don't see a conspircy, just an opportunistic nutcase. It comes with the public eye.
A friend of mine who is a musician has had crazy people accuse him of all sorts of things. From a hotel maid who claims he held her against her will to a guy who claims one of their songs plagiarizes a poem in a self-published book that he can't prove sold a single copy. About 15 years ago a woman claimed he exposed himself to her on an airplane, which would be quite the trick considering she was seated twenty rows behind him and only would have passed him boarding the flight.

If you are in the public eye crazy people will accuse you of shit.

7. Probably unrelated opportunists.
Although it wouldn't surprise me if coal or oil money was rewarding either the National Enquirer or one of the women.
