crash, it's so amusing to watch your knee jerk reactions.
You first try to defend Gore by pointing out that he pays more because he uses green sources. Irrelevant to the facts as reported by the Associated Press.
quote:
Gore's 10,000 square foot Belle Meade residence consumes electricity at a rate of about 12 times the average for a typical house in Nashville (191,000 kwh versus 15,600 kwh). While there are mitigating factors (further discussed in our article about the Gore household's energy use), this is still a surprising number, given that the residence is approximately four times the size of the average new American home.
This says nothing about the costs of the energy Gore uses, simply the amount.
You also try to brush it off by saying that Bush's house isn't used year-round. Again irrelevant since the comparision given is between Gore's house and the average house in Nashville. Moreover, as they point out, his energy usage is 12 times the average despite the fact that the house is only four times the size of the average American home.
Finally, you slam Snopes for being "more interested in being true in the letter than being true in the message." What are you saying here, mate? Folks should only report facts about your favorite politico if they reflect well on him?
