First words, right out of the box. But, Gore decided to stump for Democrats among the world&#8217;s various nations while people were looking at him;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Over the next two years, the United States is going to be somewhere it is not now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I must tell you candidly that I cannot promise that the person who is elected will have the position I expect they will have, but I can tell you I believe it is quite likely.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That means he expects a Democrat president &#8211; and now that he&#8217;s been crowned King of the World, Gore figures he&#8217;s a seer, as well. Reuters joins him in bashing the Republicans;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The United States is the world&#8217;s largest emitter of greenhouse gases and the only major industrial country to have rejected Kyoto, which expires in 2012. It has been on the defensive since the conference began Dec. 3.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They fail to report that Kyoto also has a system of penalties resulting in fines in the event the US doesn&#8217;t hit the targets the treaty sets for emissions &#8211; those fines are\u00c2\u00a0the reasons that less-developed nations are smacking their lips in anticipation. Not only do they anticpate slowing American growth in the international economy, they get to hit up US taxpayers who will fund the less developed economies&#8217; &#8211; free money!<\/p>\n<p>After explaining Gore&#8217;s position in some detail, the last paragraph, ne, sentence is presented in defense of the President;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Bush has argued that the pact would harm the U.S. economy and cutbacks should have been imposed on poorer but fast-developing nations such as China and India.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s it &#8211; one line, no supporting evidence. Just &#8220;Bush has argued&#8221;.
