Elizabeth, 

What has the Clinton Gore and administration done for "liberals" or
leftist. Do we have social health care! No! Do we have lower
university tuition fees? No! The only thing to really say for Clinton gore
is that we did not have Bush or Dole, But that is a pretty thin piece of
bread to eat for eight years. If Bush wins well, it will be bad, but
is it better than this three quarters bad that comes with gore. In my
opinion - I voted for clinton the first time, and last election between
clinton and dole I voted nader. I women for California Democrateic
congress woman Boxer as well. And I
will vote for a few democrats this time as well, but I am not going to
give my already meaningless vote to gore, just because bush might be a
little worse. Because as of yet there is noone has convinced me that there
is a big difference between the two. Out side of the fact that Bush will
most likely get us into another war and kill about of with the electric
chair, while gore will just let things go on as they are, which is also an
expression of the intolerable.
