6. Mentioning the suppression of Bev Harris's research..
and his own article on the danger of using electronic voting machines
which Vanity Fair refused to publish..Yes, I like the "conspiracy analyst"
phrase as well. Mr.Vidal, please speak to your nephew...ask him to reconsider
another run, if we make it through this Republican Holocaust.

3. A very good verbal essay by Gore Vidal -
Nothing any informed person on this forum doesn't know or isn't aware of, still nicely stated by one of my all time favorite people.

16. Al Gore's family compared to Bush's family - a stark contrast to say the least.

7. Tis true ...

I love his following lines, "They say the jury's still out on Climate Change. That jury drowned to death a long time ago." Yes Gore Vidal is a genius when it comes to relaying all-important concepts in a concise manner. :applause:

13. Thanks so much for sharing
We can only hope that today's election is a sign that the neocons are being booted out for good. Nope, I think that's a fool's hope. Even though it looks like the American electorate is turning the House (and hopefully the Senate) back to the Democrats, I don't think we're out of danger yet. The neocons are not going to take this setback as anything but a bloody good reason to go back and conjure up even more draconian plans to turn the grand ol' Republic into.......welll...................you know.

Yep, the Americans (on behalf of the rest of the free world) must now remain vigilant!!

14. We must thank Mr Vidal, American royalty
He's been a rock. I think today is all about celebration...then to *work* to dig out of this mess.
