Gore's Moveon Speech

Gore's speech blasting Bush's consistent pattern of misleading the American people could easily have been given by two Democratic candidates - Dean and Graham. It could not have been given by Lieberman.

Here is the pattern that I see: the President's mishandling of and
selective use of the best evidence available on the threat posed by
Iraq is pretty much the same as the way he intentionally distorted
the best available evidence on climate change, and rejected the best
available evidence on the threat posed to America's economy by his
tax and budget proposals.

In each case, the President seems to have been pursuing policies
chosen in advance of the facts -- policies designed to benefit
friends and supporters -- and has used tactics that deprived the
American people of any opportunity to effectively subject his
arguments to the kind of informed scrutiny that is essential in our
system of checks and balances.

The administration has developed a highly effective propaganda
machine to imbed in the public mind mythologies that grow out of the
one central doctrine that all of the special interests agree on,
which -- in its purest form -- is that government is very bad and
should be done away with as much as possible -- except the parts of
it that redirect money through big contracts to industries that have
won their way into the inner circle.
