I'm sick of hearing Al Gore for president

[Hutzpa]

Its as if there is nothing else to discuss, lets face it people, I love the guy and especially the attention he has brought to the environment, but I still think this is some kind of distraction by others, we already have candidates running for this election and if Al is going to run he should say so before its too late.......otherwise lets drop this piece of distraction and move-on with discussing real issues.



PS
He already stated he is not interested in running, soo....drop it!!

[kenfrequed]

46. Hmm

I half agree.

I really like Gore. But I think that if he does not declare candidacy in the first week of November then people should start doing some research and find the candidate whose views are best represented.

I think some people are holding out for Gore to relieve themselves of the burden of choice. As long as Gore is a possibility people don't have to actually choose a candidate and it allows some of us to sit back and remain inactive. Then we can say "well its too late now and Hillary looks like she is going to win anyhow...."

[Hutzpa]

49. Exactly my point

I really like Gore. But I think that if he does not declare candidacy in the first week of November then people should start doing some research and find the candidate whose views are best represented.

Thank you for bringing out this point, its about Al Gore declaring his candidacy nothing more, I do want him to run and if he does, he needs to come clean.

Being a suspicious sort I think this group has hired out its services and written this book with the expressed purpose of brushing aside global warming as an issue. And which of the main candidates would be most likely to challenge Gore?
hmmm I wonder...

9. Spokane, soon there will be threads calling for your impeachment. nt

[EstimatedProphet]

48. Burn the traitor! Destroy him!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. I'm with you, but mostly because I don't trust Gore, given what I know of

his early career (hardcore DLC and supporter of the Contras and Reagan's military buildup). I also found him to be wimpy and too far right in the 2000 debates, afraid to differentiate himself from Bush. I'm afraid, too, that he would try to placate the Republicans instead of giving them the hell they deserve, and as with Clinton, this would be tantamount to placing a "kick me" sign on his butt.

The feeling that many DUers have, that Gore is almost some kind of a Messiah figure, is touching, but naive.

Also, while he has publicized the problem of global climate change, he hasn't had the courage to tell people the truth: that fluorescent light bulbs and Priuses won't do the trick, that we need to make serious, even wrenching changes in our lifestyle and change the "American dream" from one of runaway consumerism to one of peaceful cooperation and ingenuity.

[earth mom]

60. What's naive is to think that Hillary or Obama are gonna do anything to help the majority of people.

I'd say Al is the best chance for getting this country back on track.

What are Hillary & Obama gonna do? Oh yeah-more a$$ kissing of corporations that are polluting the hell out of this country & more war! :puke:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

70. I didn't say I LIKED Hillary or Obama

My order of preference is Kucinich, Edwards, and then None of the Above.

[Warren DeMontague]

68. He's certainly not a "Messiah Figure" on the order of, say, Ralph Nader.

:eyes:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

71. Who said anything about Ralph Nader?

His time is past.

[Warren DeMontague]

73. Really? You mean he's not going to "help" America by fucking up any more elections with his

gargantuan, outsized ego, and his bullshit about how there is "no difference" between the Republicans and the Democrats? (Except oh, wait, there is a difference, Ralph- the Republicans are the ones who bankrolled your 2004 campaign)

Whew. That's a relief.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

87. Get over Ralph Nader already

It's not his fault that Kerry didn't inspire enough voters for a non-stealable election and that Kerry didn't contest the dubious results in Ohio.

[Warren DeMontague]

88. That's right. Those specific two things you mention were not his fault.

Nevertheless, in 2004 he DID take large sums of money from Republicans, he let spoiler-minded Republicans RUN his state campaigns, and he's spent the past 7 years spreading full-of-shit lies about how there is "no difference" between the parties.

If it wasn't for Nader's ego, Bush might NOT have been able to steal the 2000 election. That's a fact. And Al Gore would have made a damn fine president in 2001. He will make a damn fine president in 2009, if he decides to run.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

92. Okay, okay, have it your way

Gore came out so strong against Bush in 2000 that voters had no doubt about where he stood on anything and he energized voters so much that nobody was undecided three days before the election...

Oh, wait, that's your version of history.

Whatever kind of president Gore would have been, he ran an overly cautious campaign. I remember each election since 1960, and I've never seen one in which 1/3 of voters were UNDECIDED three days before the election, nor have I seen one in which the Dem basically said "me too" to nearly everything the Republican said.

But if you'd rather cling to your belief in that everything is Nader's fault, go right ahead. (For the record, I did vote for Gore, but only because I was horrified by Bush, not because I had any great love for Gore. I really hated his Tweedledum and Tweedledee act during the debates.)

[Hutzpa]

94. I'm not a Mr metoo, but

I felt Al Gore in congress was a bit abash than he should have been on that debate, I think people have completely misconstrued my post entirely, my post was a deliberate ploy to see what kind of response I'll get regarding Gore, its amazing to see how my fellow DUers think, I guess thats what makes us diverse.

I do want him to run but I'm a little skeptical (you're thinking why) based on what happened in 2000, IMO he could have fought more with the courts, and by the way whats stopping the Re-pug from bulldozing him again the same way the did in 2000? :shrug:

Besides Al Gore's running mate has come to be known as your typical ass hole, remember him Joe 'fucking' LIEberman. What a piece of work. Al Gore Al Gore do we think he could have made a change with a weasel by his side.

12. I think these folks are hoping that he will jump in after the Nobel Prize

selection this week. It's a nice thought. It would give Gore a nice opportunity to enter with all the publicity, but my gut tells me he won't. The sorry fact is if he doesn't get into this thing by the end of this month he will miss delegate filing limits. Drafts, unfortunately, don't work anymore. They actually worked better in the days when the "bosses" controlled the conventions and various bosses and others could meet in those awful smoke filled rooms and come up with a compromise candidate. The last draft that worked was in '52. But give 'em a little more time. Gore is a dream candidate for many, but hopefully they won't be going on about Gore jumping in next August!

13. Maybe you can hide your own thread. RUN AL RUN

GORE '08!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

14. Gosh, you're very convincing. Your stunningly brilliant argument is full of

insightful and piercing observations.

I used to think it would be a good thing for Sen/VP Gore to announce his candidacy, but that was before your stunning riposte provided utter enlightenment.

I can't decide on a favorite of your literary devices...is it

let's face it, people

or

let's drop this piece of distraction

both of which are so moving and eloquent?

No, I'd have to say the most masterful phrasing was

soo...drop it!!

How can anyone argue with such exceptionally researched and meticulously presented words of truth? :-)

MKJ


P.S. :sarcasm:

[EstimatedProphet]

51. Probably the same way someone can try to eviscerate someone's argument...

without an ounce of examination of what the argument actually says.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

66. The OP's "argument"?

The central premise appears to be that no discussion of a possible run by Gore should occur on this message board, because he, the OP author, is sick of reading said speculation.

Yet not so tired of said threads that it prevented him from starting one himself about the very issue which, he tells of us, is a distraction as he, himself, provides the OP for another distracting thread. MKJ

20. I like to daydream too,

But then theirs reality. he said he is not running. I hope he gets the peace prize, but he is not running. I would vote for him twice. however he is not running. We could draft him. alas he is not running.:nopity:

38. Whose?

:shrug:

[Hutzpa]

43. lol...whatever dude!!! n/t

[CoffeeCat]

22. I can only speak for myself...

...but right now I feel like a tiny dot being whipped around an ocean that
is infected with a "perfect political storm". Lightning and thunder crash all around me,
as 80-foot swells carry me farther out to sea.

I try to find familiar shoreline, to no avail. What I once knew, and the
firm ground on which I used to stand--seems so far away. Maybe it doesn't
exist anymore. I'm not sure.

I'm enduring the storm. I'm riding the waves. And the only way I'm surviving
the storm and being helplessly tossed around---is by holding onto the hope
that Al Gore will run.

He's my life raft right now. He's the hope to which I cling. The other
candidates seem unwilling or unable to stop the storm. The front-runners
act like a storm doesn't exist, and their solutions are about different
ways to ride those waves and endure the chaos---instead of stopping the
waves and the chaos.

So please. Don't ask me to give up my life raft. I'm tired. I'm sick
of one wave after another--piling on me and reminding me that I'm
in dire straights with no end in sight. I want to see the shoreline again.

I need to believe that the skies will clear and that the sun will shine
sometime in the near future. If I can believe that, I can hold on
through this storm.

[flyarm]

36. Well ,Well said Twosparkles!!..thank you...he is my life raft as well!! eom

[Marrah_G]

23. So you are sick of it....big deal

I am sick of lots of crap I see on the boards, but demanding others drop a topic is not my place. So I just hide the threads. Perhaps you should try that.

[Cathyclysmic]

25. What do Al Gore, Stephen Hawking and a broken refrigerator have in common?

They're not running.

[zabet]

27. Bwahahaha!

:spank: :rofl:

26. I know it is just me...

but when I see threads about topics that have been
'beat to death', I just don't click on them. :shrug:

28. Is Al Gore the left's Raygun????

[Liberal In Texas]

33. At least he doesn't have Alzheimers. Oh, and isn't dead. n/t

You, you, YOU HEATHEN! You should be scourged you unbeliever you! :nopity:

[durrrty libby]

31. There will always be distractions. Such is life

Al has gone soft. Al has gone Hollywood.

For some, hope dies hard. They don't yet understand that you can't drag

Al into the race. He can no longer tolerate the taste of down and dirty politics. The drive has fizzled

[youthere]

32. MAKE ME.

[dave123williams]

35. He hasn't ruled it out, and he's about to win the Nobel Peace Prize, maybe.

If he runs, I'm voting for him. Period.

[Fly by night]

37. Get used to it (or get over it)

[Bake]

39. If he doesn't announce after he wins the Nobel (this week?)

THEN ... maybe ... I'll drop the Run Al Run chant.

But until then:

RUN AL RUN!!!!!!!!

Bake

[derby378]

40. Uh, just for the record, Hillary "wasn't interested" in running, either

But now she's in, and just look at her now. If Hillary can do it, Al can do it. So we dare to dream. Can you blame us?

[Romulox]

41. My impression of Gore during 8 years was he was a centrist/DLCer through and through

He has since been deified, but from my perpective, he has always offered the same deregulation, "free trade", WTO/NAFTA style Dem as the Clintons. :shrug:

[Hatchling]

42. I know just how you feel.

I personally am sick of hearing:

Clinton for President!
Obama for President!
Edwards for President!
Etc. for President!

I still like hearing "Gore for President",it's exciting. But if he ends up not running that will be all over by the end of October. Surely you can put up with it until then? I have to put up with the others until the primaries are done next year!

Sheesh!

[Turn CO Blue]

44. Hello? This is the way it is here. Remember all the Olive Garden,

Leopold, breastfeeding, Sheehan, stolen election, Fitzmas, etc. etc. threads? Topics go in huge waves here. This particular topic (hoping Gore runs) will run its course in 2-3 weeks. That's a short wait considering how long we all had to dig through thousands of I'm with Cindy threads.

Of course, I do sincerely hope by then the topic has changed to how much support Gore is getting since he announced his candidacy! Boom!

[RainDog]

45. hey, it gives me a way

to have some sort of hope, so let it be. I want revenge for 2000.

I am just as sick of seeing subject headers here pro and con for Hillary or Obama (since those are the two big camps fighting it out here.) Or calls for Kucinich, who has a... very slim chance of victory, let's say.

but I just don't read those threads and I ignore those subject headers.

so, if you say to people like me to "just drop it," I say, okay, shall we talk about how horrible it would be for the democratic party if Hillary were to win? All that baggage, that sickening revolving door for the presidency "royalty." Her annointed-ness as the DLC choice. The repukes drooling hoping she'll win so that they can throw some red meat to the freepers and their "Hitlery" pov?

Wishing for a Gore run makes it possible for me to think of voting for a dem without puking because we both know that Gore would not cross Clinton's run for prez unless there was a grassroots push for the same.

[spanone]

47. More Gore

[renie408]

57. "Fellas, it was sounding great, but I coulda used a little more Gore."n/t

[apex nerd]

52. You seem like your patience is slipping away

and I can understand that.

Very soon, I don't know exactly when, this topic will be resolved one way or the other.

It won't be long.

I would vote for Al Gore in a heartbeat. But I'll vote for whatever Democrat gets the nomination.

[Semper_FiFi]

53. Kick and recommend

I agree. The man is not interested in running. But some people have an idee fixe that he is going to jump into the race and save the world.:shrug:

[lapislzi]

55. De Nile is a fertile river indeed

I prefer to deal with the reality that I'm presented with.

Love Al, love what he's doing, it would be nice if he would run, not going to lose any sleep over it. Getting on with it.

[Totally Committed]

56. Well, I'm sick of hearing Hillary Clinton for president ...

Tough nuts for both of us!

RUN, AL, RUN!!!!

TC

[Horse with no Name]

58. and I am tired of hearing that Hillary has the nomination sewn up

so deal with it.

64. AL GORE AL GORE AL GORE AL GORE AL GORE

AL GORE AL GORE AL GORE AL GORE AL GORE AL

[Warren DeMontague]

67. I don't take very kindly to people telling me to "drop it"... do you?

Personally, I've been very outspoken about the fact that I think he's the best person for the job. A large percentage- a majority, it would seem- of DU agrees with me. Personally, I think we are approaching crunch time for Mr. Gore. If he doesn't announce in the next month or so, I'd say it's probably not going to happen. Sooner or later, we'll know one way or another.

Until then, no candidate is automatically entitled to my support, thankyouverymuch- and whether or not people agitating for Gore to run gets your shorts in a bunch, I don't think we're ready to throw in the towel just yet.

Sorry to disappoint.

[hiphopnation]

69. have you ever seen "Really?!? with Seth and Amy"

on the SNL news? I think this thread would be a good one to take up for that segment. It would go, something like this:

You really can't think of anything better to post about than to rail against a group of die-hard Gore supporters who want nothing more than to see his victory in 2000 -- and his dire warnings over the past seven years -- vindicated in '08?

Really?! Really.

Like no one has yet taken responsibility for the Katrina disaster, Congressional Dems continue capitulating to the PNAC vision in the ME, our MSM is severely fucked up, possibly beyond repair, the Federal Government is slowly becoming a top-down, authoritarian, oligarchical theocracy where the poor are routinely given the shaft, free speech and civil liberties suffer daily recessions in the name of national security (any of this sounding familiar?), and all this while the nation's conscripts -- with the help of the outsourced private military -- traipse about the globe instigating illegal wars for an energy source that by liberal estimates might have another hundred years of use left.

REALLY??!?! Really.

Wow, just wow. :thumbsdown:

RUN, AL, RUN!!

edit: added word

[dfgrbac]

74. I am sick of hearing Hillery and Obama are the front runners!

If the others got as much media exposure, they would not be!

[Hutzpa]

75. I guess this has turned into

popularity contest then. We are arming the other side, giving them ammunition for when the real fight starts. I'm against that entirely.

[Snarkturian Clone]

76. I'll go on dreaming, thank you NT

[racaulk]

78. Saying he's "not interested in running" is not the same as saying he's "not running."

As another poster upthread noted, Senator Clinton once said that she was "not interested in running." Obviously, people can change their minds, and it's still not too late for Al Gore to change his. Until he publicly and definitively says the words "I am not running," then I will hold out hope. And I will continue to post my support for him here, despite your desires otherwise.

Run Al Run!!!

[DesertRat]

79. You'll have to deal with it

Gore is a DU favorite.

86. I'd pick Hillary over Al Gore in a heartbeat

and I'm the original Al Gore supporter. In 1992 I told people who I would be voting for President eight years in advance.

I still like Al Gore alot, but Hillary is the face of the Democratic Party, and that's precisely the way it should be. She is exactly the right candidate for the left at exactly the right time. Every week that goes by in this campaign proves it more and more.

Right now it is frustrating, and sadly, angering, competing progressives as they realize the mounting inevitability of it. I'd probably feel alot worse about that if so many of their supporters weren't such unreconstructed assholes about it.

But what is going to be fantastic, with NO misgivings whatsoever, is when the inevitability of Hillary's Presidency becomes progressively more apparent to Republicans THROUGHOUT 2008. It will be worse than Bob Dole's sad campaign against Bill in 1996. The real winners of the Republican nomination are going to be the ones who lose that nomination, because the winner of that nomination contest is ultimately going to be the biggest loser.

I don't want to gloat about that. I just want Hillary to turn this country around. And she will.

99. More outsourcing, forcing us to subsidize insurance companies

Keep the PATRIOT Act and the NSA spying. Thanks, but no thanks.

Us lefties just LUVS us some Mark Penn clients--

Three days after 9/11, the government of Saudi Arabia called Burson-Marsteller.

Terrifying Romanian dictator Nicholas Ceausescu? You guessed it -- Burson-Marsteller.

When a military junta overthrew the government of Argentina in 1976, who did the generals call? Burson-Marsteller.

The government of Indonesia, accused of genocide in East Timor? Quick, someone look up the number of Burson-Marsteller.

Now Burson-Marsteller has their newest marquee public relations client -- Blackwater.

You can kind of see why it is a little bit gross that the CEO of Burson-Marsteller is Hillary Clinton's pollster and chief campaign strategist, Mark Penn. You can kind of see why that is a little disgusting.


NOT.
