Jill Stein Arrested: Green Party Nominee Faces Charges After Bank Protest

I look back and do not see a President Gore invading Iraq - 9/11 or not - let alone doing so on a credit card, after emptying the treasury coffers with a "Reagan proved deficits don't matter" tax cut skewed to the wealthy.

=============================

I don't know why anybody would think that Gore wouldn't have invaded Iraq.  If he was willing to do it in 1991, over Saddam's invasion of Kuwaite after Kuwaite had been slant-drilling Iraq's oil and after GeorgeHWBush's ambassador to Iraq told Saddam that we'd have no problem if he invaded Kuwaite, you don't believe Gore would have done it in 2003 over WMD, and after 9/11?  Even Bill Clinton was on board for it, and Clinton knew the truth, what BS it all was.  

Most people who say that about Gore believe him to be of noble character.  He's a politician, not unlike the rest of them.  Worse yet, he's a legacy, a second generation, who grew up in that culture.  He was chosen to run with Clinton not to balance the ticket to the left, but to the right.  The choices he made throughout his life and career show the same sense of entitlement that most Washington insiders display.  And how he's chosen to respond (not at all) to the charges about his own entitlement and hypocrisy (Occidental, carbon shares, his lavish 10,000-square-foot that uses more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, the 6,500 square foot villa in Montecito, California with 6 fireplaces, etc.).

There's more, but specifically that knowing what Gore would or wouldn't have done is not knowable.   Gore was a hawk on Iraq in 1991, one of only 10 Democrats to vote in favor of the first Gulf War. He complained bitterly that GeorgeHWBush didn't march into Baghdad and Gore supported legislation aimed at rooting out Saddam Hussein.
