I am only 19 and I like Rush, so your first argument goes down the tubes.   
Second, Al Gore is no Mr. Environment.  His voting record as a Senator  
shows that he supported many corporations and nuclear power plants that  
were contoversial and were later found to be damaging the environment in  
his home state of Tennessee.  Third, Clinton did not even get a majority  
of the vote.  6 out of 10 people voted against him.  Michael Dukakis  
received more votes than Clinton did.  Fourth, the only rally that Clinton  
took part in was an Anti-American rally in RUSSIA of all places against  
our own men dying in Vietnam.  People say it doesn't matter.  Tell that to  
the families of all of the 18 year old boys who lost their lives in a rice  
patty field.  Try and convince anyone in the military it didn't matter  
that he protested.  It's outrageous.  Lastly, I don't care if Clinton and  
Gore do like the Grateful Dead.  There are many people who don't listen to  
them and I really wonder if Clinton did that to get votes.  Obviously you  
fell for it.  And you think America is great?!  Clinton won because he  
said it isn't.  Guess you just contradicted yourself.
