>It's this pattern of regularly stretching the truth, making deceptive statements, intentionally misleading the public, that makes it very difficult for me to accept Gore as qualified to be president. I'm sure others have their reasons to not accept Bush, but that's my perspective. I am VERY troubled by people in high position who say one thing and do another -- not a good example, IMO.

I agree. I was not aware of his tendency to overstate his accomplishments until I caught it on Rush Limbaugh (insert disclaimer here: I do not put a lot of faith in anything he says). From what I understand, the Internet comment was taken out of context, but other things, lile the prescription drug fiasco, Love Story, etc. are troubling. My vote for Gore was not a vote for Gore, but against Bush. Had I known Cheney would actually be running things, I may have changed my mind. *g*
