Mr Gore decided to open his big hypocritical mouth against the Domestic Auto Industry.
He also criticized domestic automakers for failing to more aggressively move to reduce carbon emissions and chided them for making "gas guzzlers they can't sell, that no one wants to buy."
You first.
He must not know that Honda, Toyota and Nissan all make "Gas Guzzlers" to, and they are pushing them hard right now. Toyota is even offering incentives on their Gas Guzzlers to try and get some of the market from the Domestics.
Why doesn't anyone praise the Domestics for developing environmentally efficent cars also. They have plenty of "Green" cars too and quite a few gas sippers. But of course since politicians and the media kiss the Foreign Auto Makers ass every chance they get they would say anything against them or for the Domestics.
Gore endorsed proposals to mandate dramatic increases in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) mandates, but sidestepped questions about how much automakers could be forced to spend to comply.emphasis mine
As long as they do what Gore says he doesn't care how much it could hurt them.
Hey Mr Jackass, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Don't the Dumocrats know that Detroit is a huge Dumocrat state? With all the push towards making more jobs in Michigan disappear they will start voting the other way or there will be nobody left in Michigan to vote.

BTW, doesn't the Goracle ride in SUV's?
The US auto industry is under the gun from the left, and somewhat from the right, too.
