Get the full facts first, then criticize Gore or any politician.

Why do you choose to ignore facts that don't support your point of view? Using your argument, no one could ever be a hypocrit because it is not possible to have "full picture" of anyone's words and actions. Most people know it is possible to draw conclusions without 100% of the information, it happens all the time, in-fact if you waited to get 100% information before drawing a conclusion, you would never come to one.
When you make absolute statements like the above, we always drift off of the real issue being discussed because we have to clarify how an absolute statement is illogical. Do you really not see this, or is it your intent to divert the discussion?

Kind of makes you irrellevant in the grand scheme, and easy to disregard.

I admit Republican use ad hominem attacks. Do Democrats ever do that?
