Gore Says Bush Governs from 'Love of Power'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush governs from a "love of power" [The Ponderosa: Certainly the fellow whose tantrums led to the electoral crisis of 2000, assuring that henceforth all elections will be decided by armies of lawyers, could NEVER be accused of "love of power". ]and right-wing ideology [The Ponderosa: Bleated the man engorged with every scrap of left-wing hoo ha ever penned or uttered]rather than religious beliefs, and he has yet to hold anyone in his administration accountable for mistakes [The Ponderosa: Again with the "mistake" canard. How stupid is it to talk about mistakes with the war still ongoing? It's pretty stupid. Oh, and thanks for leaving us with the inept DCI, George Tenet. ], former Vice President Al Gore said on Monday.

As the campaign by Bush and Democrat John Kerry for president headed into the last stretch before the Nov. 2 election, Gore criticized his rival for the White House four years ago on Iraq and other issues.

"I'm convinced that most of the president's frequent departures from fact-based analysis have much more to do with right-wing political and economic ideology [The Ponderosa: We hope. ] than with the Bible,"[The Ponderosa: Er, the Bible? Why would a member of the Loony Left concern himself with the Bible? Buggery, infanticide, envy and the pagan worship of Gaia are hardly biblical concepts.] Gore said in a speech at Georgetown University.

"It is love of power for its own sake that is the original sin of this presidency," he said. [The Ponderosa: Spare us, Reverend Nut Job. ]

He painted the Bush administration and its "right-wing" supporters as pursuing policies for the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the rest of the country. [The Ponderosa: Because preventing terrorist attacks protects only the wealthy. ]

"The essential cruelty of Bush's game is that he takes an astonishingly selfish and greedy collection of economic and political proposals [The Ponderosa: Stealing less of my money is cruel? ] and then cloaks them with a phony moral authority, thus misleading many Americans [The Ponderosa: Socialism -- ie, legalized theft, is immoral. ] ... who have a deep and genuine desire to do good in the world," Gore said. [The Ponderosa: Let us see if we have this straight: People who would otherwise be doing "good in the world" have been somehow restrained by their tax cuts? ]

"And in the process, he convinces them to lend unquestioning support for proposals that actually hurt their families and their communities," he said.[The Ponderosa: Because we are all soooooo stupid. The condescension of "liberals" never ceases to gall us. ]

"Truly, President Bush has stolen the symbolism and body language of religion and used it to disguise the most radical effort in American history to take what rightfully belongs to the American people and give as much of it as possible to the already wealthy and privileged," [The Ponderosa: We have no idea what this means. Perhaps the Thorazine is wearing off. ]he said.

Gore also criticized Bush for not holding anyone in his administration accountable for problems.

He said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had not been held accountable for "the most shameful and humiliating violation of American principles in recent memory" in the interrogations of prisoners in Iraq[The Ponderosa: We should, in the middle of a war, cashier an effective and successful SecDef coz some Jihadists were forced to wear panties on their heads? Now we KNOW the Thorazine has worn off. ].

To think, but for the inability of a few hundred dolts in Florida to navigate a ballot later mastered by 8-years old, this guy would have been Prez on 911 ... we would have been subjected to a mind-numbing recap of the last 2000 years of history and bludgeoned with Chomskyite nonsense regarding how it's our fault they hate us ... all in that annoying lisp ... sanctions would have been lifted on Iraq and their WMD production lines back in business ... and we'd probably be sending our kids to Koran School ...

By the way, is it necessary for us to dig up the Lunatic Algore's various pronouncements on Iraq, WMD's and the threat posed by Saddam offered up by Mad Al when he and Wh-ck Off into the Oval Office Sink Boy were in charge?

And as far as "greed" and "love of power" are concerned, who was it that allowed technology transfers to the ChiComs in return for campaign cash? Who was veep when corporations were engaging in larcenous accounting practices? Who met with Buddhist monks and employed Charlie Trie and Johnny Chung? Whose "Citizenship USA" initiative hastened the naturalization of thousands of criminals prior to the 1996 election? Spare us the sanctimony, Algore. You and your boss were as power hungry and avaricious as any pair to ever stain the Oral Office.

We recall a time when ex-presidents ("Bohdi!") and former veeps conducted themselves in a dignified manner, acting as statesmen rather than bitter, raving loons ... Jimmy Carter put and end to that, and is today an angry, hateful old man.

While Clinton is giving Carter a run for his money, Gore has them both whipped. Say hello to Mr. Martini, Chief and Nurse Ratched, Algore!
