Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Will Continue Obstruction If Obama Is Reelected

I don't know why anybody thinks 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've done it in 2003 over WMD?  And after 9/11?  Even BillClinton was on board for it, and Clinton knew the truth, what BS it 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 from the left, but from 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 isn't knowable.   Gore was a hawk on Iraq in 1991, one of only 10 Democrats to vote in favor of the GulfWar. He complained bitterly that GeorgeHWBush didn't march into Baghdad and Gore supported legislation aimed at rooting out SaddamHussein.

What we do know is that his instincts and efforts on how to go up against the powers-that-be were either for show or lame and inept.  And his efforts continue to be (CurrentTV).  The same powers-that-be that got us into that war also took his lawfully elected presidency from him.  And after running one of the worst, tone-deaf campaigns in modern history.  The outcome of that election is the only thing keeping Gore's campaign from being placed in the 'Ridicule'-file with Dukakis's (dressing him up as a soldier and putting him in the tank, his answer to the 'rape-of -his-wife'-question in the debate, etc.) and Romney's.
