-The name Algore makes him sound like Frankentsteins assistant, the one with the hump.
-He’s a pretend jogger. I hate these guys that saunter down the road at 2 mph and think they’re accomplishing something. Probably going to McDonald’s. Paunchy bastard, like he knows anything about physical fitness. He’s portraying an image. At least Dubya really runs. 7 minute miles. He does 5 a day. We should settle this thing in a footrace.
-The hair. What is it shellacked?
-Always pointing his chin so high. He has to do this, or you see his necks. Still, when he looks at the camera this way, down that nose and those Judd Nelson nostrils it feels like you’re staring into a shotgun barrel. Al, I really don’t wanna know what’s in there.
-My name’s Al. This sucks, now the name “Al” will be associated with sleaze and smarminess and all the rest of the bullshit. (Don’t even think about it)
-The mortician suits.
-Tipper. She was involved in this ratings on albums thing a few years back and dissed Dee Snider and Frank Zappa.
-Earth in the Balance I read this thing. I’m still suffering.
-The cover of “Rolling Stone.” Strolling his paunchy self across some pictaresque landscape with that patented smug little “I’m-better-than-you-and-I-know-something-about-your-mother-but-I’m-not-gonna-say-(pause)-yet” grin.
-The advanced degree from the Bill Clinton School of Artful Lying and Misinformation.
-7 minute miles. He’s a lean mean fighting machine, and he’s physically up to the stress of being Prez.
-He got it out of system. We all regret things we did while we were young and naive. Dubya did more than most. It’s out of his system now, and he’s ready to be serious.
-After leading the life he led, it takes a lotta balls to try to become Prez. You gotta admire that.
-When Bush called him up to take back the concession, Dubya fucked with with Gore’s head and gave him shit about it.
-That time he was missing from duty he was actually on a secret mission for the CIA that his dad gave him because he could trust nobody else. You ever see Mission Impossible II? That was based on Dubya’s mission.
-The Band-Aid. I mean first he gets a boo-boo, and now you’re gonna take back the election? That’s not nice.
-He flew fighter plains.
-Texas is a bad ass state, and if Dubya was governor that means he’s the best badass.
-Better suits.
-He trusts us.
-If that’s not enough, don’t worry. Brother Jeb’s gotta few extra votes for us if we need them.
Could everyone just drop this stupid issue? Jesus, I was all of six when this happened, but it still made sense to me then. You know - you are not in any way being prohibited from buying a CD - it just lets you know if it is derogatory. And if anyone with a brain larger than a pea and partially functioning gray matter does not understand that children who are 12 years old should not be listening to Eminem, that I don’t know what to say. But it is such a dumb issue to be pissed about.
Badass in the fact that they executed 144 prisoners on death row? Oh, that’s something to be proud of. After I read an article about the prisoner who was gassed to death, on death row for ten years, because he was convicted of shooting a man to death when he was born with only thumbs (easy to shoot a gun with no fingers, right?) and partially blind - yup, Texas is one badass fucking state.
I look at this election as a means to know what states I will never ever live in. Texas is most certainly one of them.
Yeah, because the only thing that matters about a president is how fast he can run. Suuuuure.
Oh yeah, Bush wrote the book about balls. His life has been so painful and trying. First being born into a life of privilige and luxury. That sucked. Than being a bored 14 year old with nothing to do except waste money that could be feeding the homeless on mainline drugs. Than overcoming his drug addiction in time to have Daddy Warbucks blackmail him into Yale. What a fucking travesty. Once Mommy Warbucks bought his wife, he had to procreate, which is fucking hard as hell when you have no dick. Then running for the highest office based solely on the fact that his state is badass and the fact that dear old Daddy did it first.
The only difficulty he ever faced was beating John McCain, who was actually worthy of the Republican nomination. But I’m sure Daddy made that easier by “eliminating” the competition.
Sure you don’t want to move this thread to GD? Seems like you have a valid argument.
You may not have figure this out yet (Though I thought the secret mission stuff, and the chins kind of gave it away,) but this thread is specifically about bad reasons to either not like Gore, or like Bush.
I know, I know. I just had a moment. I am so sick of people spouting off this bullshit seriously. I hear it all the time at work and can’t say anything (surprisingly enough, customers get mad when you question their bullshit political rhetoric) so I lost it for a sec when I read that.
The name thing. I know we had John Adams and his son John Q. Adams, but having George H. W. Bush and then George W. Bush will be simply too confusing for schoolkids for generations to come.
The boil on his face. Yuk! And the band-aid they cover it with.
He has a key in his back! The little known reason he did so poorly in the first debate was that it was wound up too tight. Conversely, in the second debate, he had run down.
Could you imagine him running down while in the middle of a summit meeting? The official keymeister would have to lead him off (obstentiously to get some tea, maybe?) and wind him back up. Then he’d come back and proceed to invent 17 synonyms for “ozone depletion.”
Al Gore looks like a dweeb, a nerd. And I thought it was gross the way he stuck his tongue into Tipper’s mouth at the convention. I caught part of it on Leno and thought I was on the Playboy channel or something. He just doesn’t look Presidential.
I remember hearing several years ago that this upset Al to no end, as he was a big Frank Zappa fan back in the day.
I also heard Dee Snider talking about the election recently, explaining why he had to vote for Gore. He said that he had seen Dubya’s college transcripts, and he just couldn’t vote for someone who got worse grades in school than he did.
Hijack-about hard lives?
Didn’t the Bushes have a daughter, Robyn, who died when she was three of cancer? Bush was about seven at the time, and he made jokes to cheer mum and dad up? (read it in Ireland Times).
Just curious…
About the RS cover…I’d say GORE is the one with balls…
