Corkey,
I understood the explaination about Eisenhower, however it is not an
excuse for lying. But it is moot because he never said that. If he
had you most likely would have seen the left wing making fun of him,
since he didn't say it you cannot prove that they would not have. But
one thing is for sure he wouldn't have said that he invented paved
roads, which is tantamount to what Gore said. If he had you could be
sure he would have been ridiculed and laughed at.

The point about Gore is that he claimed to start legislation to create
the internet. But the legislation did nothing to create a sysetem
already in use two decades before the legislation came out.

IMO Gore meant to say he created the World Wide Web. Which would be
another lie, but at least he wouldn't have been as stupid.
