The majority of Americans would disagree - at least the majority that 
voted for Gore. It is a fact that more Americans voted for Gore than for 
the grumpy C student. I would take Clinton to be more typical of an 
enlightened American and Bush as remmant of the past. But thats just me. 
I find it insulting to attribute that idiot as an icon of our country.

He actually lost the election by a fair reckoning. Those who did support 
him were the anti-abortion-is-the-only-issue crowd, and the greedy rich 
who want tax cuts .... oh and supreme court justices appointed by his 
father. The common people and intellectuals voted for Gore.
