Your choice not to believe it doesn't make it untrue... I can tell you didn't actually go to the site...

Re: Bush v. Gore re:energy consumption

I would just like to reiterate. . .it's the message, not the messenger.

Thank you.

Actually I did look at it - I even went back to make sure I didn't something. But I didn't. It's a blog - It might even be my blog.

It's not a blog - Snopes is a well-respected fact-checking source.

But when the message is "do as I say, not as I do", the messenger does some harm to the message, no?

However, I will say this: just becaue Gore is an unbearable hypocrite doesn't mean we should just disregard the issue out of hand and instead do as that blathering idiot Rush Limbaugh says, which is to be as wasteful as you wanna be. But w/o further ado, a comparison of the Bush & Gore households:

When did Rush say that?

Not in my opinion. Who gives two farts about what Al Gore does? He's just another hypocritical politician & nothing less would be expected of him.

As for the message, it's only damaged if YOU allow it to be corrupted by the messenger. And I see a lot of that, and it's unfortunate. And, it's the reason I started this thread. Let's get the piss & venom we have in our blood for Gore out of our system & get beyond it to the message, which is all that really matters anyway.
