“Al Gore would not have gone to war in Iraq. Thousand of Americans and hundred of thousand of Iraqi would be alive today. ”
probably true.
“America would have higher mileage cars and Ford would not be near bankruptcy. ”
probably not true. rep controlled congress at the time, dem take over unlikely if gore were pres.
“We would have an alternative energy industry that would provide some good paying jobs and exports for America. ”
ditto
“We would still have the surplus carried over from the Clinton years, no war debt and we wouldn’t have to borrow from the Chinese or the Saudis. ”
possible, but the dot bomb, was putting a squeeze on the economy at the time…
bottom line, however, when asked “what/who are the alternatives”, i think we’re seeing that *anyone* would have been better than bush. even the corvair guy, what’s his name…
edit: there’s a john stewart bit regarding cape wind and fat kennedy… nimby politics on off shore wind power…
