Al Gore Quotes
The first less is this: take it from me, every vote counts.
Gore, Al. Address at the Democratic National Convention. 26 Jul. 2004, Boston, MA.
In early America there were many instances of clergy threatening damnation to those who supported a particular political point of view. However, that became quite rare and flared up in the early 21st century in America with abortion and a few Catholic Bishops. Generally democracies have a certain degree of separation of church and state. Israel, although a Jewish state, is very much a secular state but does have religious parties. One of them is the Shas orthodox Jewish party. But this statement even shocked most Shas members. Shas lost the election by far and remained a small minority party despite the Rabbi’s threats.
Misattributed. Statement was written by a humor writer to sound like Dan Quayle but wasn’t actually stated by him.
Albert Arnold Gore Jr. is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th vice president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Gore was Bill Clinton's running mate in their successful campaign in 1992 and the pair were re-elected in 1996. Near the end of Clinton's second term, Gore was selected as the Democratic nominee for the 2000 presidential election but lost the election in a very close race after a Florida recount. After his term as vice-president ended in 2001, Gore remained prominent as an author and environmental activist, whose work in climate change activism earned him (jointly with the IPCC) the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. In 2008, Gore won the Dan David Prize for Social Responsibility.
