Re: That's what's wrong with politics

It's hard for me to believe that you brought up Ventura, when a much, MUCH better example would have been Paul Wellstone. I mean come on. He ALWAYS voted his opinions, even to some degree the only senator to dissent from the other 99 senators. In fact, Ventura was a terrible example. His policies were unknown to practically everbody who voted for him. Furthermore, he never did anything about them once he was in office(Gross went into great detail, so it's pretty pointless for me to). And as far as the Strom Thurman issue goes, it wasn't just Gore that took notice of the racist overtones regarding Lott's statements. Besides the fact that this wasn't the first time Lott made statements about Thurman's 1948 presidential campaign; he made similar statements in the 80's. Oh, and also Jesse; LAY OFF GORE! Whenever you have a complaint about something political and you conceive a possibility of Gore being involved you relentlessly attack, despite the actual level of his involvement.
