   Tobacco = Gore   
      
   "Tobacco Hypocrisy   
   At the Democratic national convention in 1996, Gore gaving a moving speech   
   about his only sister's painful death from lung cancer. And since then he has   
   pushed the administration's aggressive anti-smoking campaign.   
      
   What Gore didn't mention is that he grew up on a tobacco farm, worked on it,   
   and continued to accept checks from that farm for years after his sister   
   died. In 1988, while running for president, he defended tobacco farmers while   
   campaigning in Southern tobacco states (and made the quote up above: 'I've   
   raised tobacco ... I've shredded it, spiked it,... and sold it.') He accepted   
   contributions from tobacco companies as late as 1990."
