  1. Re:War on Drugs on Help Bush and Gore Answer Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1
    The Dallas Morning News has a very interesting article today...

    It appears there may be a very good reason that Gore lost those emails...

    The article states that a few days after Gore visited the Church in question of being involved in the drug ring in Houston, the DEA was called off the case.

    The House is involved in an investigation that is being blocked by the White House and, of course, Janet Reno.

    Oh, I guess since inventing the internet was too much for Al Gore, he just didn't have time to invent mirrored disk backup or tape backup.

    Hi, I'm George W Bush.

    I am ahead in the great state of Tennessee, and I will win that state on election day. All polls indicate this, though the race is quite close.

    This is the home state of Al Gore, though many Tennesseans are ashamed of that these days.

    I am ahead in Tennessee, so why vote for a person who the people of Tennessee will not vote for. Most people don't know that there are many great Americans from Tennessee -- the Beverly Hillbillies, Sheriff Buford Pusser of "Walking Tall", Andrew Jackson, and Sargeant Alvin York.

    It is Sargeant Alvin York that I want to address. He came from the very poor part of East Tennessee and he was very much a Christian. But he didn't start out that way. He liked to drink and carry on when he was young, and then he decided to read the Bible.

    Than along came World War I, and he was drafted. He decided to be a conscious objector. That's right, someone against killing and war, and not thinking that it was right to do all because he was taught from the Bible that it was wrong.

    His superiors, one a Southerner who had gone to a Yankee school like Harvard or Yale, and the other a Yankee who had gone to Harvard or Yale, thought highly of him. The Southerner was a Captain and the Yankee was Alvin's Major.

    You see they had trouble trying to convince Alvin that it was okay to kill people. They thought highly of Alvin because he was a crack marksman, and had very good habits being brought up Tennessee. Even though he was a "conscious objector", they made him squad leader and a corporal.

    Finally, they could not convince Alvin that killing was right. So they let Alvin go home to the hills of Tennessee from Boot Camp, and think it over. Two weeks later he came back, and said he would go over to Europe, but he didn't know if he could kill anyone.

    He and his platoon went over to Europe, and they got involved in a real "ruckus" behind enemy lines -- trying to outflank the enemy.

    Alvin's officer and other leaders of his platoon were either killed or wounded. That left Alvin leading 5 men who could fight and were not wounded with a number of their own men wounded as well as a bunch of captured Germans.

    At this point, Alvin decided something. He figured that these machines guns that had taken his buddies lives had to be silenced. It was for the sake of "saving lives" that he took action.

    He was able to silence the machine guns, unfortunately, by killing those operating it. He did this single handledly.

    Then he and his men made it back to their own lines, capturing a bunch of Germans here and bunch of Germans there.

    When he got back to his own lines, he had captured 300 Germans, and managed to get his own men safely back, including the wounded who did not die.

    It was for this reason that Congress awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to Alvin York. He was later promoted to Sargeant, and they made a movie about him starring Gary Cooper called "Sargeant York".

    It is the good people of Tennessee, who will vote for me, George W Bush, on Election Day, and give me Al Gore's home state that should convince you to vote for me.

    After all, the very "moral people" of Tennessee are Pro-Family, and did not care for that nonsense of having one of their politicians "hairbrushed" on the cover of Rolling Stone. Any "Good" Tennessean would have been outraged.

    But not Al Gore.

    I admit I may not have been the greatest Governor of Texas, but I wear my Daddy's pants, and I will carry Texas by a big margin. I will not carry Tennessee by a very big margin -- but that is my opponent's home state -- he should be able to carry it.
