As that slur has been dismissed countless times why bother with ancient history?

A couple of things I noticed. His claims of the accusations against him being debunked were false, and his claims of distribution by his foundation have no substatiation outside of his declaration, and he refuses to release proof in the form of tax returns.

Hillary is being castigated for being good in what is traditionally a male role: a successful politician.

Gore called Bush to congratulate him after Florida was called for Bush, even though it had previously been called for him.

It was only after the many irregularities in the Florida election came to light that Gore challenged the results.

When the Supreme Court chose to interfere with the Florida Supreme Court's constitutionally mandated jurisdiction over elections in their state, Gore accepted the decision.

Gore actually did win.

Parenthetically, I find the idea of Roger Stone leading the election protest over Trump's loss deliciously ironic.

I'm pretty sure Gore lost to Bush.

Not my main point but a recount of all all the counties/precincts which Gore challenged wouldn't have helped him. A recount of the entire state would have moved the Florida into Gore's column and put him over 270.

It was the uncertainty that poisoned that well.

I'm still pretty sure Bush won.

FWIW, you did blow Whell out of the water.

That's worth a lot to me. I live for moments like that.
