Comments on: With which presidential candidate would you most like to have a beer? http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/03/10/with-which-presidential-candidate-would-you-most-like-to-have-a-beer/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

Gore said he created the initiatives for the internet. However Kahn and Cerf say "There are many factors that have contributed to the Internet's rapid growth since the later 1980s, not the least of which has been political support" from Al Gore. So I agree with you...Al Gore played a major role and should be commended. But he used very poor phrasing and never did correct himself till the 90's because he liked being the Creator of the internet. You must admit that "creator" is more powerful than "inventor". But you can win the argument cause it's your website and you worship all democrats including Ted Kennedy and KKK Byrd....ha ha.

He correctly claimed to have been a leader in Congress in making the Internet what it is today. Knowledgeable people readily concede that point; dimwits don't. The utter falsehood that Gore claimed to have invented the Internet was cooked up by the Republican Party -- and swallowed whole by Limbaugh dittoheads and their ilk. 2) You're the first person in the world to say that Gore's loss in Florida pivoted on his claims about the Internet. (Actually, he lost Florida by only one vote -- a vote cast by one of the five Republican appointees on the Supreme Court who shut down the recount in Florida and made the Bush boy president.) Class dismissed. Oh, for your homework, try reading a little American history. Kaus: Two things: 1) Al Gore DID NOT misspeak on CNN.

He is on record for being pro internet long before Al. Pat, I still like you. I want you to know that after reading more on the subject of Al Gore, he has done some really great things. Serving his country with honor unlike his boss Bill, ethical, and passionate about his country. If he hadn't mispoke (horribly) on CNN that night, us Republicans wouldn't have made such a mockery of his bragging. If he would have phrased his words more carefully he could have won Florida outright.

Big dude like him also could probably hold his beer pretty well. Another guy who'd be fun to have a few with is Nixon, just to pick his sizable, but warped, brain. Oh, hell, ANY president would be fun to drink with. I gotta go with the greatest storyteller of them all, Lincoln. Big dude like him also could probably hold his beer pretty well.
