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:

Corkey,
The internet was in wide use in the 80's. Hell I used a card reader
in the early 70's that was plugged into a mainframe from a branch of a
university to the main univercity via the internet. The internet is
simply a network that is cordinated via routers. It is not the
software that is on the internet. Gore later said that he helped write
a bill that promoted the World Wide Web, computers for servers and a
search engine for that graphical interface. Before that the internet
was mostly character based like the first MS-Dos computers. But Gore
claimed he created the internet which was created two decades before he
got involved.
