Waffle House? No, It's Just Al (Rosemary)
Do you remember a simpler time? A time, not long ago, when Al Gore skewered Bill Bradley over their competing Health Care Plans.
Bill Bradley wanted to create a Universal Health Plan, like Canada, that would cover about 95% of Americans but Gore ONLY wanted to cover children. He also said that Bradley's plan would "shred the social safety net" by using up all of the country's budget surplus.
Well, if your memory is fading, you can check out an old article from Drake University. It will remind you.
ABC News reports that Gore has changed his position, again. O Canada!
I'm SHOCKED! Are you SHOCKED? I can't believe he's changed his position...
Gore is truly "letting 'er rip," as he said. He is betting the long odds on everything.
He's carefully setting himself up to be able to say "see, I told you so" on the war if anything whatsoever goes wrong any time between now and 2004. He's solidifying his base on the Left, trying to steal the Greens back.
Watch for "I told you so" to be his campaign theme for 2004.
Indeed, he's doing a Richard Nixon, in many ways. His strategy will probably be perfectly Nixonian, but in reverse. Nixon ran hard, hard, hard right in the primaries, then did a 180 and slammed backwards, hard, toward the center.
I expect Gore to be doing exactly that.
Gimme that old time religion!
Well...what do you expect. The accomplished airhead of politics has done it again. He is flip flopping all over the place again like a lake trout in the bottom of a fishing boat.
If you voted for this guy for President perhaps, you should just observe the administration of Jennifer Granholm. Her administration is probably the closest you will ever get to see an Al Gore administration in action. Then weep.
