A few more fun responses to the President Gore piece:

? ?Whatever you are smoking, you better quit. Your brain is already only working on about 10% capacity.?

? ?Mr. Hood, you might be a well educated man, but you are crazy if you think we would have been better off with Al Gore as president. After 9/11 I thank God over and over again that He did not allow that man to win the presidential election. Right now Mr. Gore is committing treason, in my opinion. He has gone off the deep end and shows us again and again that we were fortunate indeed to escape having him as president.?

???[Your argument] is like saying that you would be better off being killed at age 8 in an auto accident than expiring at 80 while having sex because the auto acident is quicker.?

? ?The first evidence that LSD does actually cause delayed effects years after taking. Other topics: “Benefits of softer teeth”; “visions in opal”; and “I just kissed my elbow”.?

? ?Gore for President? Would you want the insane running the asylum??

? ?Well, sure we would have had a smaller government, what with all the airliners crashing into every domed building in the country.?

? ?Wow, this is fun! So what would the benefits of a Dewey presidency have been? Or a Hamilton? Keep still my beating heart!?

? ?What a waste of cyberink! Benefits of a Gore presidency… we could all learn Arabic!?

? ?Gore as Pres would have been worst than Pres Carter. Gore doesn’t know anything…he justs buys votes with taxpayers money….that is what is killing this country….along with the Ford Foundation. . .?

? ?Any news that comes out of Raleigh NC,. is and will be slanted to the left. All of the media in Raleigh not only wants but demands higher taxes, and they offer, screw the public in the process.?

? ?John Hood , what have you been smoking?? [What is this fascination with me and drugs?]

Only one commenter so far has bothered to argue with the thesis of my actual piece: that a President Gore and Republican Congress would have restrained federal spending far more than Bush has.
