"It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.
For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy
- give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down
to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society,
but what it really means is - you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck.
No health care? The market will fix it. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your
own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. You're on your own.
Well it's time for them to own their failure. It's time for us to change America."

Al Gore: "With John McCain's support, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have
led our nation into one calamity after another because of their indifference to fact;
 their readiness to sacrifice the long-term to the short-term, subordinate the
general good to the benefit of the few, and short-circuit the rule of law."
