Gore Quotations | Page 3

None of the airlines involved required a contract or any written guarantee of payment before sending their planes and volunteer crews. One official said if Gore promised to pay, that was good enough for them.

The vote count on Tuesday night showed Governor Bush won Florida's election and a recount has now confirmed his victory. We hope Vice President Gore and his campaign will reconsider their threats of lawsuits or still more recounts which could undermine the constitutional process of selecting a president and have no foreseeable end.

They basically said that in the case of a tie, the defendant always had to win, ... It bothers me now that Al Gore is trying to use this politically and in a fraudulent way because he's never been helpful.

These votes are going to be counted in Florida. If they're not counted now, they are going to be counted next year under Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, ... If the truth comes out next year that in fact Al Gore did win Florida ... what is that going to do for the esteem and the respect of the Supreme Court of the United States?

not just a victory for Al Gore and his millions of supporters. It is a victory for fairness and accountability in our democracy itself.

At the same time, I don't believe the president and Mr. Gore ought to exploit these tragedies every time they do to run around and demonize folks who are members of the NRA who are good American citizens.

I'm wondering which Al Gore that was talking, the one who promised not one unkind word, not one? Or was it the one who yesterday called for a serious discussion and then six hours later issued a playground challenge.

If the will of the people is to prevail, Al Gore should be awarded a victory in Florida and should be the next president of the United States,

If you add Al Gore and Ralph Nader's vote totals, a clear majority of people voted for policies and a vision to protect America's environment ... As further proof that Americans used their ballots to support strong environmental safeguards, pro-environmental candidates won in approximately 75 percent of the Sierra Club's top-priority Senate and House campaigns.

If you guys are upset that Al Gore is endorsing me, attack me, don't attack Al Gore.

If you get into the debates in a free-wheeling forum with Mr. Gore -- who I think the country doesn't want but he's stronger than you think -- and Mr. Bush -- who is going to have a tough year -- and we're in three debates together, I think I can win the presidency.

In this campaign, Al Gore is proposing that we spend more of your money on a military build-up than on education,

In November, Al Gore will be elected president of the United States and we will take back the House,

I really found this campaign odious. I couldn't get up for it. The quality of the candidates and the campaign, I just found the whole thing second-rate. I didn't know how to explain to my granddaughter that I was spending my dotage writing about Al Gore and George W. Bush.

If you want to be a majority party, you have to appeal to a coalition, and that means appealing to independents and moderates. That's why you'll hear Lieberman and Gore emphasizing issues that appeal to both the base and the center.

I think Al Gore really needs to find his voice, and I think he needs to find his own style. I think, up to this stage, he hasn't found that.

Clearly, it's a blow to the Gore camp.

Clinton's personal foibles and failings have nothing to do with the fact that Al Gore went to a Buddhist temple to raise money and that his closest associates and fund-raisers were convicted of multiple felonies in regard to that event.

Clinton and Gore told me that they were elected in order to bring some compassion to this society. But they have not managed to change much.

I don't think so, ... What we fell in love with was the idea of combat, and this movie doesn't really give you what those movies did. It doesn't give you exploding body parts and gore the way 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Platoon' did. It's more interior.

Because Gore doesn't show great enthusiasm for missile defense, he's not going to initiate another big program that has to be fit into a tight program, ... That's probably a net positive for contractors.

By saying that he's going to engage Bradley, by calling for debates, by talking about a campaign shakeup, I think Al Gore is saying 'no, the nomination is no longer inevitable, I have to earn it.

George W. Bush and Al Gore shouldn't be talking about who's going to blink first. They should be talking about how are we going to restore faith in democracy in the American people, because it's been sorely tested right now.

George W. Bush and Al Gore are doing foreign-language tv ads. Two men who say very little in English are now saying absolutely nothing in Spanish.

There were times when David Souter thought of Bush v. Gore and wept,

If Gore were up 10 points, this wouldn't happen. There would be a lot of golf to be played otherwise.

if Gore became president and you had a new message and new individual up there.

I asked him to consider very carefully before taking any action that could in any way help Al Gore or Bill Bradley extend the Clinton/Gore era another four years,

I don't think the legitimacy argument washes. I think that whoever wins this election, provided that they do so in a constitutional way and in a fair way, is going to have the country rally behind them, whether that's Vice President Gore or Governor Bush.

I do not know for sure if he's looking or flirting. But, I have an opinion - Gore remains a headliner and can raise money and rally the base. (But) it's hard for Gore to rule out running again before looking at the landscape.

Gore's attack on the Texas education system is a thinly veiled attempt to discredit the education reform and accountability measures that have taken place in states around the nation. While Gov. Bush is offering bold reforms for our public schools through accountability, high standards, and reading, Al Gore is making the case for the status quo.

Gore is taking a reactionary approach: He is not rejecting just specific proposals, he is rejecting the whole idea of changing these programs. And that's too bad, because they have to change.

Gore is still in pretty good position for the primaries. But people are still fretting about his general election numbers.

Gore is putting himself as the populist candidate to fight against those big companies. You'd have to say Wall Street, right now, views Gore with fear and trepidation because he's attacked those industries in his campaign. What's been very strong has been healthcare so healthcare stocks are telling you Bush is going to win. Money managers are putting their money up front.

Gore is much better known among black politicians for a much longer period of time. I don't know how Bradley breaks that.

Gore is keeping the existing system in place because it works -- using the budget surplus to add to the Social Security trust fund. So what's the point in dismantling it,

Gore helped strengthen clean air standards, sped cleanup of Superfund toxic waste sites, reduced automobile tailpipe pollution and protected America's spectacular landscapes, ... This is the kind of leadership the American people are seeking in our next president.

Gore has the economy on his side and the statistics he will be able to produce will be an impressive argument. I am expecting a very close election,

Gore has made significant gains since the debate. Voters clearly do not like it when Bradley goes negative,

Gore and Bush couldn't say no to that.

I've never been a big gore guy.

A Gore administration would be a continuation of the last eight years

And looking at the landslides, you saw how Gore beat Bush so substantially in California.

All you ever needed to know about this election, you learned from driving. If you want to go backward you put it in 'R'. If you want to go forward you put it in 'D'. Let's move this country forward, let's elect Al Gore and Joe Lieberman.

The general tone of the rhetoric form Gore has been quite hostile.

The comments from the Gore campaign this afternoon accelerated the selling.

Among Republicans, there is universal outrage that Gore and the Democrats won't accept the results of the election and are manipulating the system for their partisan reasons, ... which should make a lot of people concerned that they are so obsessed with having power they will do anything to achieve it.

And I do encourage everybody who wishes to run, to run, and of course in the end if Al Gore chooses to run, he will have a tremendous opportunity to build a coalition and win in 2004.

The last president to pay off the national debt was Tennessee's Andrew Jackson, ... Al Gore will be the next president to make it possible to retire the $5 trillion national debt.

Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore.

I was raised in the Washington household of my grandfather Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, and have known politicians intimately all my life.

Less is more, unless you're Al Gore.

The Gores, I think, are a bit brighter than the Bushes, historically speaking.
