Al Gore participated in -- and won by a landslide -- one of the most
important debates in the 20th century in defense of and support of
the most important conservative policy there is: free trade.
Do you remember the infamous Larry King debate between Gore and Ross
Perot? This debate did more than anything to get free trade passed
in the U.S. Congress.
And people forget that at the time, free trade was VERY unpopular
with the Democrat base: the labor unions. At the time they said: we
will remember Gore and Clinton at election time (meaning '96) and
we'll make sure they never get re-elected.
Well, we know what happened there.
However, I am NOT a fan of Gore's now, what with his fear-mongering
about the non-existent global warming due to fossil-fuels (of which
there is ZERO evidence).
