Note: the following is a dumb rant that was based on me skimming desertgrl's post. Yes, I am a moron, thank you very much.
The alternative is unthinkable.
I guess I just think differently.
1) If Gore had won, and 9/11 occurred, I honestly don't know what would have happened. Would his presidency cause all terrorists to kill 'all the men fighting over there', or anything remotely comparable. I doubt it? Hell, there's a good chance that there would be more American soldiers alive today, if in this alternate universe we didn't invade Iraq. Would Saddam still be in control? Possibly. Would the world really be that worse off, considering we've found zilch in the Weapons of Mass Destruction department?
2) If McCain had won the republican primaries in 2000, and in turn the presidency, I think he would have done a better job doing everything than Bush has thus far. I offer no proof, for I honestly don't pay much attention to politics, but McCain seems like one of the few 'good guys' in politics who is (or rather, seems) trustworthy. But at least we probably wouldn't have secret courts, innocent suspects shipped off to Libya for torturing because they were suspected to be terrorists, and the Patriot Act.
From what I hear of Kerry, he seems similar to McCain... he also fought in Vietnam, and after fighting he joined the protesters. He didn't run away to Canada, and he didn't join the national guard and leave early (as Bush seems to have done). But I really haven't looked at his policies.
