Reprinted from the Internet News Bureau article "Al Gore's 21 Lies"
Brought To You By The Patrick Henry Center
Where we remind you to:
"Stand Up, Speak Up For America!"
DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER PATHOLOGICAL LIAR FOR PRESIDENT?
FICTION: Al Gore recently claimed that his mother-in-law pays more than
$100.00 for the arthritis medicine Lodine; and he claims that his dog
takes
the same medicine for $37.00, claiming "This is wrong!" FACT: Gore's
aides
were quick to apologize for Gore's lie, saying the information was from
a
Democratic study. Washington newspapers also reported that Al Gore
wasn't
even sure his mother-in-law was taking any medication and wasn't even
sure
she had arthritis. And, he doesn't know anything about his dog's
"arthritis".
FICTION: Al Gore said his father, a senator, was a champion of
civil
rights during the 1960's.
FACT: Gore's father voted against the landmark Civil Rights Act of
1964 and was a racist who was fond of using the "N" word.
FICTION: Al Gore said that his sister was the very first person to
join the Peace Corps.
FACT: By the time Gore's sister joined the Peace Corps, there were
already over 100 members.
FICTION: The same sister died of lung cancer years later and Gore
vowed to never accept tobacco money as campaign contributions. FACT:
Just
four years later, while campaigning for office, Gore spoke to the
tobacco
industry and said he was one of them because "I've planted it, raised
it,
cut it, and dried it." He raised over $100,000 in "reported"
contributions.
FICTION: While running for office, Gore's campaign literature claimed
he was
a "Brilliant Student".

consistently
earned D's and C's.

his extensive study at law school.

came to complete fruition while "finishing" divinity school. FACT: Al

institutions since the early 1970's.
FICTION: Al Gore claimed the book "Love Story" was based on his
life
and Tipper's.
FACT: Author Erich Segal called a press conference to deny his
claim. (Couldn't he at least lie about a love story where his
sweetheart
doesn't die?"
FICTION : Gore claimed that as a reporter for a Nashville
newspaper,
his stories led to the arrests of numerous corrupt criminals. FACT: He
later apologized for his claim and actually said it was untrue (Also
known
as lying).
FICTION: Gore claims to increase diversity in the staff that
follows
him daily, especially among blacks.
FACT: Black members of the Secret Service are suing because
they
claim they are not being promoted to positions guarding the
Vice-President.
FICTION: Al Gore said he was the first to discover the Love Canal
nuclear accident.
FACT: The incident was already discovered, being investigated, and
covered widely in the press for many months before Gore was aware of
it.
FICTION: Gore said just recently that if elected president, he
would put harsh sanctions on the sleazy producers of
Hollywood's extreme
sex
and violence.

producers
and radical gay activists where he told them that he would only pretend
to
"nudge them" if elected. He raised over $4 million.
FICTION: Al Gore said he built his Tennessee home with his bare hands.
FACT : Totally false!
FICTION: Al Gore says parents should not have a choice between private
and
public schools because public schools are far better. TRUTH : Al Gore
attended private school and he has sent his children to private
schools.

singing the popular ditty, "Wear The Union Label". FACT: The popular
ditty
was created by the unions when Gore was 27 years old.
FICTION: Al Gore claimed to co-sponsor the McCain-Feingold
CampaignReform
Act.
FACT: The Act was not sponsored until he had been out of office
for over a year.

gasoline. In
his book "Earth In The Balance" Gore claims that the nation's Number
One
enemy is the internal combustion engine. (That's the motor in your
vehicle
that gets you to work and takes your kids to school)
FICTION: Gore pretends to champion the rights of poor women to be
tested
regularly for breast cancer with the most modern technology. FACT:
While
giving a speech on the subject in September, Gore didn't know what a
mammogram was.
FICTION: AL Gore promised Florida's senior citizens that they would
finally
have low-cost drugs with no interference from government. FACT: Gore's
plan
calls for the creation of a huge federal agency that would tell you
which
doctor you are allowed to see in order to get the "special rates".
FACT: Al Gore told NBC's Lisa Meyers that he had never told a lie.
When
Meyers pressed harder, "You've never told a lie?!" Gore said, "Not that
I
know of." SOUND FAMILIAR?
Election Day is ticking away. E-mail this to as many people as possible
or
we will be living in an Al Gore fantasy land. We can't wait for the
mainstream press to stop their political spinning and spread the truth
. .
.the American people are going to have to do it themselves.
