I'm just glad that Gore designed and started the web, what a jackass...... I am of no party affiliation but when you state something like that come on...

He didn't claim that he "designed and started the web", nor did he claim he "invented the internet". However, if it had not been for his leadership in creating the current legal basis on which the internet operates, it would have died out as an ARPA project that had outrun its usefulness.
Odd that the inventors of the TCP/IP Protocol, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, disagree with you:

As a Senator in the 1980s Gore urged government agencies to consolidate what at the time were several dozen different and unconnected networks into an “Interagency Network.” Working in a bi-partisan manner with officials in Ronald Reagan and George Bush’s administrations, Gore secured the passage of the High Performance Computing and Communications Act in 1991. This “Gore Act” supported the National Research and Education Network (NREN) initiative that became one of the major vehicles for the spread of the Internet beyond the field of computer science.

But the idea that a government project had any useful impact cuts against the religious doctrines of some people, so they have to distort what was said by Gore, and the underlying truth.
