Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Hussein, Pinochet, Milosevic, Castro, etc. etc.

Y'all should know I'm no fan of Bush, but put things in perspective. It could be worse. A lot worse.

Gore?It's really hard for me to believe that things would actually be worse right now if the SC had elected Gore instead of W. Remotely possible, I suppose, but hard to believe.

I suppose it could be argued that Gore wouldn't have handled 9-11 any differently than Bush. We know that Clinton/Gore also had a hard-on for Saddam. But at least Gore didn't envision himself a character in a bad Hal Lindsey prophecy novel.

Interesting that you chose to compare him to the worst tyrannical dictators the world has ever seen... Hmmm..

The question was "worse than." Your observation is a bit of a leap.

BTW, having your avatar as a leader would also be worse than Bush IMO :p
