At the risk of starting the entire discussion over again, you know that Gore Sr. DID vote AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s and was an active segregationist who used to frequent Whites-only establishments even while leaving his black aids behind to sit in the car in came in. Your only defense to these facts was to tell me that AFTER he left the U.S. Senate he transformed himself and became ashamed and remorseful of his past actions. And my response to YOU was that although it is encouraging that an individual will change for the better and to grow, what is more important when we are discussing politicians is to look at their voting records and NOT what they did AFTER they left office... Al Gore Sr. was a racist segregationist. God bless him if he changed later in life but quite frankly I would have preferred that he changed BEFORE he left office...
