Thank You Al Gore

By Brent Budowsky
February 25, 2007

Al Gore is the most qualified person in America to bring peace between the Hollywood moguls attending the fundraisers of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Al Gore is the most qualified person in America to bring peace to the Middle East.

Imagine a world where an American President is again the leader of the free world. Where our commander in chief has the experience to wage war, but the judgment to know that the best wars, are the wars wise leaders can avoid.

Imagine a world where our leaders unite our people behind social justice, shared patriotism and a common trust of protecting the planet.

My nominee for lifetime achievement award is the man known by his friends as AG, and known by the world as the passionate and powerful friend of the earth, and opponent of those who would pollute and corrupt her.

Thank you, Al Gore…

There's more!

1. He's my first choice now even more than he was in 2000.

He is the only damn one who sees what the real threat to our national sovereignty and SURVIVAL is.

15. From this voter that almost voted for Nader then, I feel he is the best option now too!

Gore is the man with passion now that would run with his heart and those of all Americans, and not based on the manipulative DLC consultants agenda that he did to start out his 2000 campaign. The DLC knows that and that is why they want Hillary this time instead of him and why they didn't help fight the Bush takeover in 2000 either.

2. And thank you, Brent Budowsky, for writing such a remarkable piece! NT

3. Frankly, I can't even bring myself to support anyone else,

As long as there is the slightest chance that Al Gore may run. My wish is that all the other candidates will put aside their egos and collectively nominate Al Gore as the Democratic Candidate for President. I realize that it's not realistic, but a girl can dream, can't she?

5. I'm with you, dddem. Even though it looks like he's not going

to run, I can't back anyone else until he gives a definite no. I know I'm going to be terribly disappointed if he doesn't run, but I can't help but hope I'll be able to vote for him next year.

[cascadiance]

16. Whether or not he runs, it still helps to keep heavily supporting him!

We need a voice like his being strong in the Democratic Party to help guide whoever gets elected and not allow the corporatists to push their agenda rough shod over us. A strong Al Gore, president or no, will help this effort.

I still believe that he's INTELLIGENTLY being cagey now, with corporate America trying to find chinks in his armor and trying to find ways to thwart his strategy as they had successfully done to Dean in the last election cycle. The more of us that have that feeling, the more apt Gore will listen to us to translate it into reality later. We need to keep the faith!

12. I will support him if he decides to stand for election, and

I will support whomever he recommends, should he decide otherwise.

[Caro]

24. I agree.

I just don't see any other candidate with his stature.

6. IMO, Al Gore is by far the most qualified person in the world to be

President of the United States.

I like all of our Dem candidates, and am, and have been, a Kucinich supporter...but my gut, as well as my logical mind, both tell me that Al Gore would be the right person at the right time to assume leadership of our country ASAP.
