This lie again?

Really how many times does this have to be explained?

Al Gore is a former VPOTUS and is protected by the US Secret Service. Secret Service protectees do not fly commercial. Gore doesn't have a lot to say on the matter.

ORLY. And who is the liar? Or does Gore have special protection that other VPOTUS' dont have?

"Title I - Former Vice President Protection Act
Former Vice President Protection Act of 2008 - Amends the federal criminal code to provide secret service protection to former Vice Presidents, their spouses, and their children under 16 years of age for up to six months after a former Vice President leaves office. Authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to direct the Secret Service to provide temporary protection to former Vice Presidents and their family members at any time thereafter if warranted. Extends such protection to any Vice President holding office on or after the enactment of this Act. "

It seems you are.

The law you are refering to:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-5938&tab=summary
Only applies to VPOTUS in office after the law was passed. Previous VPOTUS continue receiving protection under the previous law. Which pretty clearly is protection for 10 years after leaving office.

Its so much fun watching you try and cover your lies with other lies once again. There was no protection after leaving office for VPs..

You're boring.

The fact is previously former VPOTUS protection was authorized by executive order.

The law you're shouting about was to make sure we wouldn't be paying the bill fo rcheney for life. It wasn't creating something that didn't exist but limiting it.

I was so hoping you would dig yourself an even deeper hole, thank you.

Try telling the secret service they have been protecting Gore:

"Over the last 40 years, the departing vice president has been afforded protection by our agency," Sullivan told lawmakers. "Going back, the last two vice presidents," -- Al Gore and Dan Quayle -- "we have provided protection going into July of that year that they have departed, for 180 days."

And when youre done with them, try telling Gore:

"Former Vice President Al Gore was involved in a security controversy at Nashville Airport Thursday. An American Airlines employee violated airport security rules by leading Gore and his entourage around an airport security checkpoint where they normally would have had to pass through metal detectors. "Everyone who comes through this public airport terminal must be screened, so it's a breach of rules, said airport representative Lynn Lowrance. "It's serious." The airline employee ran her security card through an electronic lock to allow Gore and his two companions to pass through a turnstile. Airport police who noticed the breach tracked down Gore, and he willingly went back through the security checkpoint."

Sorry I bore you. Try getting something right for once.

notice you are using the present tense of "is protected" So your statement was clearly wrong. But it is the only sort of defense that your side can offer for Gore. The slower minded leftist will eat it up yum!!

And it is becoming more and more clear that leftists (well many, there are a few who do, but they don't post much) simply do not have the intellectuall honesty to stand by thier words.

So you admit your claim about former VPOTUS not getting Secret Servic eprotection was a lie. Progress.except I never said that. I said Gore didnt after 6 months, and I posted the law. Never a comment about who was or wasnt covered by executive orders. And btw lets not forget your bullshit claim that prior to the law change they had 10 years of protection, and the 6 months didnt affect Gore.

The question now becomes when was he flying on a private jet? Because that part about an AA employee getting him around a security checkpoint means he was flying commercial in that instance. Exactly, which in post 88 you said was not an option.

Which was the exactly where I was leading you. Thanks for saving me from quoting an article on that event. sure you were. since it directly contradicts your prior post. First you were bitch slapped, and now you are totally embarassing yourself by trying to cover it up. give it up. That sound you hear is the wind rushing in to fill the vacuum left by your last shred of credibility disappearing. What a great Thanksgiving!

That isnt close to a gap in logic. Whoever wrote it clearly stated the assumptions, and whether the number is 3:1 or 5:1 doesnt really matter, Gores hypocrisy is the point, and that is clearly shown.

The only "gap" is the assumption that both are flown at full capacity, which is implied but not stated. Knowing Gore he sure as hell filled the 19 (or however many seats the actual jets had) seats.

naw it sounds more like RML bullshit.

Yet the logic in the statement is correct. Put up some real numbers and show us that Public Transportation doesn't save fuel or reduce Carbon emmissions. Because that is exactly what is on the table. Sure sometimes busses are almost empty, and cars get tailwinds going down hill.

Ok your right, Public transportation does not save fuel or reduce carbon, and only an idiot would think it did.


You might mention that to Al....

It's not the same issue.

Depending on trip length and passengers you can easily have a smaller aircraft making a more fuel-efficient trip with a smaller carbon footprint than a larger one.

Why do you think so many airlines use smaller regional jets on so many of their routes?
