I understood the explaination about Eisenhower, however it is not an
excuse for lying.

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.

Well, he did not claim that either. What existed at the time that
Gore began his support was not the internet as we know it today, but
Gore apparently could see it's potential, and that's what he was
trying to promote.

This person says it better than I can, but I have a feeling that you
are determined to believe that Gore fully intended to brag that he and
he alone invented the internet despite the substantial evidence to the
contrary:
