REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED TO DEATH OF AL GORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NewInNewJ.]

Checking out the right wing talk shows and Fox, that is all they are talking about, Bashing Gore. Scared to death that he might run for President!

[Hubert Flottz]

1. He is their worst nightmare!

They have no defense for Al's truth telling.

[ronnykmarshall]

7. He's been out of the loop for 8 years.

Been doing his own thing.

Opposed the war from the start.

Does really "want" to run.

No wonder they are scared of him.

I'm for Hillary ... but I'll back Gore in a heart beat.

[durrrty libby]

13. Me too

[Hubert Flottz]

23. I'm usually not a praying man, but...

I'll be praying for the political resurrection of citizen Albert Gore!

The guy is a winner in so many ways and Bush is such a loser!

[kimmerspixelated]

34. Bush a loser? That's the understatement of all time.

Anyone can be a loser. Bush is a disaster....x1000!!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

43. My co-worker summed it up Monday

After watching Gore at the Oscars and seeing him on TV promoting his film .... both he and his finance think that they would vote for him now. They didn't vote in 2000, but he said that Gore seems to have stepped back and now is showing himself as a real person.

[lostnotforgotten]

77. You KNow That Is A Convenient Rationalization For Them Because They Still

Are incapable of admitting that Bush is a Fuck Up!

I get so damned tired of these right wingers and their self deception!

[ronnykmarshall]

79. Well my co-worker ISN'T a right winger

and thinks Bush is a disaster.

[Canuckistanian]

81. Richard Nixon was "out of the loop" for 8 years, too

He went back to being a lawyer after he lost in 1960.

[Straight Shooter]

87. Nixon did absolutely nothing for the country or the world in the interim, either.

He was also the same sorry sonofabitch when he ran again, as he was the first time.

Gore has always been a decent, honorable man. I cringed to hear the media discussing his clothes as a measure of his qualifications as a candidate. Seriously, WTF. But now just look at him. I mean, my gawd, just look at him. He almost glows with self-confidence, and yet projects humility. Nor did he spend the last 6 years sitting at home and whining about the bastards in the GOP. He continued with his passion despite the most crushing political betrayal in recent history.

If the president reflects our best hopes for this country, Gore is the man.

[Canuckistanian]

95. Can't argue with any of your points.

So I'll just say hi. :hi:

[Straight Shooter]

96. Well, thank you kindly.

Hi there, yourself. :hi:

[kath]

102. 8 years?? I know it seems like a fokkin' eternity, but Chimpyshit's only been occupying the

WH for 6 years plus a little more than a month. :-) :-)

Oh, how I wish we had an elected President, and an intelligent one, in our WH.

[fasttense]

Oh yeah, baby. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I think so too, which is why I want Al to run

[NotGivingUp]

3. gore could win it even with them cheating and they know it.

[etherealtruth]

4. Al won the popular vote ....

before it was clear (to ALL of the thinking population) that the Chimp was deranged.

They should be very afraid.

Runa, Al, run!

[kwolf68]

5. Al Gore

Is carrying a stick that represents their weakest positions: Environment.

The minute Al Gore gets into the race, that's when I get serious.

[mopinko]

88. no, that stick is

stolen elections. he doesn't even have to open his mouth.

[sniffa]

6. i thought they were petrified of hiLLary?

[NewInNewJ.]

9. With who they have running, I think they are petrified of

all of our Candidates!

[John Q. Citizen]

14. Yes, just more pertrified of Gore. n/t

[babylonsister]

12. Hmmm. I thought they wanted Clinton to run because they are full

of optimism that they can beat her. Either way, we have lots of time to figure out their motives.

[CTD]

15. They pray we nominate Hillary

It's pretty much the only chance they have of winning in '08.

[Beam Me Up]

82. You are joking, right?

They WANT Hillary to run because they know they can "win" over her -- AND those who are behind the neoconservative/imperailist agenda know that even if she wins they have her in their pockets.

[GumboYaYa]

8. Gore/Obama that could be a nice ticket.......

[madame defarge]

20. I think Gore is the ONLY one Obama would be VP for...

Until Gore announces (if he does), I'm sticking with Obama.

[DKRC]

70. I second that!

8 years of President Gore followed by 8 years of President Obama!
They could turn our country around and regain our standing in the world as a beacon of democracy & hope instead of a searchlight of fear & oppression.

[Pierre.Suave]

90. How about

Gore/Richardson

followed by

Richardson/Obama

followed by

Obama/Ellison

followed by

Ellison/whoever...

[jakem]

49. Thats been my vote all along! perfect match! nt

[Nay]

51. Gore/Clark would be great, too. Let's see the RW slime THEM

successfully. I don't think it could be done. OTOH, Clinton is their dream candidate because RWers would come out of the woodwork to vote against her.

[John Q. Citizen]

10. Gore will take office in a cake walk. With the American people throwing flowers...

[Me.]

11. Yep!

It's good they're yapping so much so early. People are going to get tired of hearing them if they keep this up until he's in and beyond. And Al should keep on doing what he's doing, winning Oscars, testifying before Congress, arranging concerts maybe winning a Nobel. It will drive them right round the bend. Sweet Revenge.

[lapfog_1]

16. They have wanted to run against Hill since she first ran for Senate...

I don't think anyone stirs up their base like a Clinton.

Obama they think they can beat because of his name, race, and experience (or lack of it).

Edwards... I don't know what they think of him, only they don't appear to be afraid of him.

Same goes for Clark.

Gore scares the piss out of them, especially the "new Al" (the not so stiff and wonkish Al)... and he did beat their then "golden boy" GWB in 2000, now, 7 years later, everyone (including just a whole bunch of repukes) wish they had allowed him to take the oath of office instead of the moran they foisted off on the US.

[earthlover]

25. You gotta be kidding

Clark would have beaten them in 04 in their strong suit security. Now he would run victory laps around them and beat them in double figures. That's why they tried to smear him last time, spread the meme that he wasn't Democratic enough and that is why most of the Main Stream Media ignored him, even when he was tied with Dean for the lead in the polls.

Gore/Clark....not only an unbeatable ticket....but a ticket composed of two great AMericans who put serving their country ahead of politics. What a change from what we have endured for 6+ years.

[lapfog_1]

31. I'm not saying that they will beat any of the Dem candidates.

Just they don't appear to be that afraid of some of them.

For example, while I don't watch Fox at all anymore, I don't hear about them "swift-boating" Clark these days, unlike Al Gore this week, Obama the few weeks before (you KNOW he attended a Madrassa, right? and his middle name is Hussein!).

Whereas they constantly portray Hillary as the front runner and default Dem presidential candidate, and have since 2000, basically.

[Nay]

52. Yeah, baby! My two guys! nt

[The Count]

38. If not scared of Clark why put a news blackout on him?

They polled him once against * and he won - it was the last time such a poll was done (or published).
On Edwards, they wait to spring his war support (sponsoring IWR) on him in the general election.
But you're not wrong on Gore either.

[RiverStone]

17. Ironically, I think if more rethugs decide to SUPPORT...

Al Gore - That as much as anything may convince Al to jump in the fray.

Gore/Clark 08!

[kwolf68]

24. Gore/Clark 08

With Feingold out the mix, thats my dream team.

[Lena inRI]

50. The '08 ticket given to us on a silver platter. . .

is GORE = CLARK 2008

Now that's the team to put the Republic Party into traction for at least 16 years. . . because their intelligent reforms would appeal to the broadest spectrum of voters. . .assuming incorruptible paper ballots return!

:kick: :loveya: :kick: :loveya: :kick:

[Grandrose]

18. Good!

:dem: Hope they stay that way!!!

[iamthebandfanman]

19. Run Al RUN!

A person can dream eh ?

:)

[zeemike]

21. What they fear the most

Is his credibility with the world on the environment. you don't see the right wing trying to Pooh paw global warming like they use to.
And should he winn the Nobel prise they might have to get him on a small commuter plain.

[Maven]

22. They keep repeating the same lie about his electric bill in TN.

They're pathetic, and--you're right--scared to death

RUN AL, RUN!

[ronnykmarshall]

44. Damn right Hedy!

THAT'S HEDLEY!!!

[Kurovski]

26. Yes they are. Some of the Gore-trolls have been activated on DU

which is another indication.

They sometimes get a TS, but there will be more coming to life.

And by trolls I don't mean folks who would just prefer another candidate and are polite and rational about it.

[kestrel91316]

46. I know of one long-time DUer who is clearly here JUST to attack

Gore viciously from within our ranks, IMHO.

[porphyrian]

27. Good. - n/t

[PhilipShore]

28. I agree 100% n/t

[youngdem]

29. PLEASE RUN AL !!!! RUN AL RUN !!!!

Obama is great but lacks experience. Hillary has experience but it is dotted with positions that make me wanna puke. Al has it all. Experience and the right positions, and the gravitas to get it done. He opposed the war, and he is for the environment.

PLEASE run Al. You won the last time - how hard could it be ;-)

[jeanarrett]

30. In a newspaper forum I comment in from

time to time, there was some guy who said he'd voted Republican all his life and that now he wouldn't piss on a Republican if "it" was on fire. It made my day.

The times they are a changin'!

[n2doc]

32. I've seen a few r/w cartoons attacking him already

Mostly playing off of the "Gore is a stiff robot" meme. Mostly up to now it has been HRC and Obama attacks. I expect we shall see some soon parodying Gore's supposedly "extravagant" energy usage in his house...:grr:

[wryter2000]

53. Hahahah

Stiff robot? I thought they thought he was deranged. A stiff, deranged robot? That'd be hard to spin.

[donkeyotay]

89. Back when they were promoting Their Guy, GWB, in 2000

they said Gore was "wooden." Course, Gore had developed the equivalent of a nervous tic, because he was constantly getting hammered with various RW memes, and he might have been confused, thinking there was a free press of some sort. We can look back on the media's track record and see them for what they are: propagandists. And George is their guy. Don't let them forget that they helped elect an unqualified and otherwise unelectable candidate, they played a leading role in his terrorizing of the American people, and they aided and abetted his crowning achievement - his war in Iraq.

[Initech]

33. Yup. If he runs and wins, they're finished!

It's not just partisan politics, I think the very future of the GOP in general is at stake here. I think people are getting really tired of their bullshit.

[Horse with no Name]

35. As evidenced by the frenetic "concern trolls" here at DU

after the Oscars. You can pretty much tell the next RW talking point when there is a frenzy of activity regarding something really stupid.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

36. Yep

Want to know what the RW's current smear attack is? Check DU and pick for the most asinine "concerned" post of the day. The odds are you've hit a bullseye.

[Frank Cannon]

74. Hell, yes. And there have been a LOT of them here lately.

I refuse to believe THAT many people are SO CONCERNED about the size of John Edwards' house or that fucking stupid candy bar commercial. Give me a break. :eyes:

[kimmerspixelated]

37. To say that I hope Gore runs is

an understatement! I think Hillary will be very scared, if that happens. Right now, Sir Albert is riding on the wings of victory with a giant rock star like status. Everyone just loves him! He's a shoe in....but, remember he is still hurt from 7 years ago.....still, he must seriously be thinking that things couldn't look better. I keep remembering his, "How DARE THEY...." speech! That spunk! That passion! How it rocked me so much, I had to pull over! The man is extremely powerful and carries a lot of weight(no pun intended).GO AL!!!!!

[AikidoSoul]

86. Things never looked better?!! There's a huge fucking mess to clean up! Why should Gore want

Bush and cronies have ruined the country, the environment, our future, world opinion of America -- and now we can see that the economy is crashing. Do you think Gore is enthusiastic about trying to clean to try to clean up this impossible mess? I trust Gore is aware of these things and has become disheartened. There is a disheartened energy in him that was never there before the past six years. Only part of it was the stolen election -- the man can see what is happening to the planet. His book Earth in the Balance shows he is a visionary.

I'm sure he must be freaked out about the environmental collapses now being seen worldwide -- these are massive collapses that signal larger ones to come. The air is so toxic now that every time the temperature reaches dew point, the toxins collect in the lower atmosphere and we breathe it in -- as do all the critters on earth. This has been occurring over the past two years as people all over the U.S. who are sensitized to neurotoxins are noticing that they get sick every damned time dew point occurs. Massive die-offs of bees (see yesterday's N.Y. Times article about the "mysterious" disappearance of half of commercial bees)tells only part of the story. These problems affect everyone on earth. I like the fact that N.Y. Times stated that every third bite of food we take in depends on bee pollination--but dislike the fact that it refuses to investigate the role of toxicants -- to which bees are notoriously sensitive.

The oceans are collapsing with enormous pockets of what is being described as "devolution" -- where the only thing that can survive are primitive jellyfish which are thriving in huge numbers. The massive die-offs of frogs and toads have never been seen before either. The press rarely reports on these problems. Recently several biologists went public on NPR discussing the scale of amphibian die-offs as being "huge" and "beyond comprehension".

But we are numb and stupid to all of the damage because we're being purposefully kept in the dark by the corporate media and big money.

Sure. Gore must really be enthusiastic :sarcasm: about coming in to clean up this impossible fucking mess.

I love Gore -- but realize that he would be sacrificed under the weight of this burden. We are in a state of extreme emergency -- all lights are blinking red. It must terrify Gore, and I don't blame him at all for not running for president.

Bush and cronies have ruined the United States. They should be taken to court for every crime they have committed and hanged publicly. We can have a brief moment of joy before we all sink into this fetid wasteland they've created. :mad:

[malaise]

39. Bingo!!

Run Al Run.

Hey Freepers
You can call him Al
Call him Al

[JamesA1102]

40. Call MSNBC Now!

A segment just aired on the show Tucker spreading the Drudge/Tennesse Center story. This show re-airs at 6PM. Call MSNBC now and demand that they cut this segment from the repeat.

Be sure to make the following points:

1 - The Tennessee Center offered no proof of their accusations. Carlson treated them as if they were true without proof.

2- They failed to address that Gore's home is powered by Green Switch.

3-The only guest on to comment was Fred Smith of the Competitive Enterprise Institute which is a Exxon funded think tank. No spokesman for the other side was featured.

Call MSNBC now at [phone].

[CreekDog]

58. Sheesh, good thing nobody watches

You had me worried there for a minute. ;)

In all seriousness, we've got to debunk this stuff at every opportunity.

[Uncle Joe]

41. True irony, the one person most likely to save them and their family's

lives from the looming catastrophe of global warming inspires so much fear.

A micro ism if you will, of the attorney representing Bush in Bush vs Gore who would then go on to lose his wife on an airplane during 9/11. Had Al Gore been President, he would have paid attention to the warning signs of a pending terrorist attack and the 9/11 attack may have been avoided.

[laundry_queen]

42. They are scared alright.

They have their complicit media repeating all the proper talking points today. And the clueless sheeple have half of my message boards buzzin' about it as well. They are literally foaming at the mouth at having "caught" Al Gore, and are way too fucking stupid to understand a concept like carbon neutral. They seem desperate, don't they?

[donkeyotay]

92. They've recovered from the shock of finding out how wrong the were about Iraq

and have decided to do the freeperly thing: blame the liberals. The circus ringmasters are whipping them back up to outrage so they can avoid the discomfort of realizing how tragic the GOP's polices have been.

Damned environmentalists, Socialists, feminists, tree-huggers, commies, war protesters, homos, welfare queens, liberals, bureaucrats, atheists, Muslims, ragheads...They're the cause of all the trouble...They're the ones making policy in Washington. Yah, that's right. It's those damned people who want health care who are ruining the country!

[milkyway]

45. Gore/Obama would crush the publicans and bring 16 years of Dem presidency.

[johnnydrama]

47. Gore/Obama

Gore/Obama would win 32-35 states easily.

[B Calm]

48. They know he won in 2000. Hell yes they're scared of him!

[earth mom]

54. They are out to get him that's for sure! Stay safe Al! nt

[spanone]

55. 12 Billion missing & they're talking utility bills. I find it ever so amusing.

[Zorra]

56. Yes, they are. They are afraid of the re-establishment of democracy. n/t

[Pastiche423]

57. They are afraid of the money they would lose

in the re-establishment of democracy (and re-regulation).

[usregimechange]

59. kick!

[Liberal In Texas]

60. You can bet your bottom dollar the Rovian Talking Points Fax Machine was cranked up overnight

rolling out the talking points to be destributed to the various junior Goebbels.

I think they think, that if they can gin up enough anti-Gore sentiment, he'll get discouraged and stay out of the race.

Because if he runs, he'll bury them.

[lonestarnot]

61. No shit.

[Rex]

62. I had no idea Gore was such a monster to the GOP!!!

After 7 years they seem to fear him even MORE! Wow. I guess Al is really paying them back for stealing the election!

I wonder if people like Powell wish Gore would have been given his chance?

[Morgana LaFey]

63. Well, of course -- he beat them once before and they know he can

do it again, only this time probably in a landslide.

[stubtoe]

64. Right man for the job!

Sure hope he runs. He'd crush any R.

[bdamomma]

65. they sure are, that is why they are smearing him, what evil

men they are. I hope Gore runs.

[AikidoSoul]

66. GORE/ CLARK!!! Would be the winningest ticket ever!

I'm with anyone who wants to form a team on this.

After they win they can appoint Obama as the Secretary of Labor.

[RandomKoolzip]

67. I'M SCARED TO DEATH OF EXCESSIVE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, there's no need to yell.

[Canuckistanian]

83. i'm scared of excessive capitalization

my doctor told me to read more e.e. cummings poetry.

[Maat]

99. HeeHee.

:rofl:

[Cobalt-60]

68. He has whipped their butts before

their hineys are throbbing at the prospect of another treatment.

[RB TexLa]

69. A candidate who is only passed by Hillary and Cheney in divisiveness?

They are trying to bait him into running.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

78. Divisive how? n/t

:shrug: MKJ

[donkeyotay]

93. Ha! I was thinking of that picture, trying to remember who the GOP candidates are

That picture sums McCain up. How can Al Gore compete with that?

:rofl:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

100. LOL and all that. :-)

MKJ

[farmboxer]

71. I support President Gore!!!!!!!

President Gore!!!!!!!

[deacon]

72. They should be- Gore/Obama would be a landslide n/t

[Vinca]

73. I agree - that's the dream team. nt

[C_U_L8R]

75. They KNOW Gore beat Bush

fair and square... errrrr

[bunkerbuster1]

76. Mostly they're scared of his respectability.

The RW noise machine spent so much time and money portraying Al as "crazy". America never really believed that, but enough of them did to make 2000 close.

That's evaporated now, so the RW noise machine's best hope is to portray him as a hypocrite.

I'd like to think it would fail, but then I thought there was no way in hell they'd manage to make the Swiftboat smears stick to John Kerry, and somehow they did.

[NastyDiaper]

80. The Energy Lobby must have issued its Talking Points.

/game on

[Canuckistanian]

84. They exhausted all their ammunition against Gore in 2000

And the worst things they had to say have all turned out to be lies and GROSS exaggerations.

Daily Howler is THE source for exposing the NUMEROUS lies, smears and outright fabrications of what passes for a "free press" in America

I think even the pundit press would be loathe to repeat that shameful performance again in '08.

[IronLionZion]

85. I hope he gets the Nobel Peace Prize

That would really scare the shit out of them and give him a lock on the white house. Whether he's officially in or not, the presidency is his to lose. No other candidate from either party has that. No one is as squeaky clean as our Al Gore. There are no skeletons in his closet because he really is a good guy.

[Old Smokey]

91. I have really enjoyed watching the RW shit thier pants over Gore

they are shaking in thier boots

[Mrspeeker]

94. After 2000 and what happened?

do you really think there scared...LOL

Come on we don't even elect the President period!

[wiggs]

97. This is the game: We talk honestly about the weaknesses of our political opponents, and they

make up lies about our strengths. Sadly this is a method used over the last 6 years to great effect. They go at an opponents strengths, with lies. Ask Kerry, Murtha, Gore, Pelosi, Dean, Wilson, Obama, etc.

Reprehensible.

[mdmc]

98. If not Gore, then

HRC.

[Megahurtz]

101. Now that's the Convenient Truth!

:silly:
