GORE MORE YEARS! (a great article about President Al)

[Atman]

Gore More Years
Only one person may be capable of getting us out of this mess

February 22, 2007
By Alan Bisbort, Hartford Advocate Staff Writer

If he enters the race in 2008, Al Gore will be elected President of the United States. This race can’t even be termed “his to lose.” He won’t lose if he runs. Period.

Of course, he didn’t “lose” the first time, though the right-wing echo chamber that, prior to the advent of the blogosphere, dictated the content of public discourse in this country, began the “Sore Loserman” chant and drowned out the truth. We’re now stuck with a true “Loser” who has led us to the edge of a cliff and threatens to drag all of us into the precipice with him.

If any “losing” has accrued to Al Gore, it’s due to what happened before the election, when he foolishly added that snake Joe “Make Nice To Cheney” Lieberman to the ticket and then, afterwards, for not taking Joe out to the woodshed and then emerging with the resolve of Tony Soprano to yank the election away from the moles dispatched by the Republican Party to undermine the will of the people. In a better world, Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, James Baker, and Scalia-Thomas would be in prison, George W. Bush would be carrying on, jumping in and out of Betty Ford clinics for the rest of his life, Condi Rice would pen unreadable scholarly articles on Russia and bore the pants off Stanford seminar students, Cheney would shoot more millionaires in the face and Rumsfeld would sell weapons to our nation’s enemies.

But, getting back to the harsh reality of the present day, the only question that remains about the outcome of the 2008 election — should Gore run — is who is his ideal running mate. Last week, I had the privilege of speaking with Edward O. Wilson, the great Harvard biologist, at the Museum of Science in Boston. Though Dr. Wilson was there as the eminence grise for the opening of Darwin — a magnificent exhibit guaranteed to freak out the Creationists — he really wanted to talk about Al Gore. When I suggested that he repeat his vow to save the earth’s remaining threatened species to “the next president Al Gore” — I heard Wilson make this vow at a Connecticut Forum four years ago — he said, “I already have, because Al Gore is a friend.”

1. K & R

Good read

[InvisibleTouch]

2. Articles like this are wonderful, but...

...they make me sad, because I know it's just not going to happen. :(

(Prove me wrong, Al. I still dare you. ;) )

14. Never say never

3. If Pres. Gore would run in 2008, do you think

that anything would be done about the stolen elections of '00 and '04? By that I mean do you think that any of the boneheads in Congress would fially address the overwhelming evidence that the Busheviks stole 2 elections? I haven't heard even the most progressive Democrats offering legislation or further investigations, but that doesn't mean that someone like Waxman or Conyers isn't conducting them.

If Gore runs, the election-stealing wing of the Publicans would be all over the map, so to speak, and the judges would be granting more and more illegal redistricting. The wingers would be freaking to the point of hysteria and trying even harder to flood the voting booths with paperless hackable electronic publican machines.

or am I just being too "conspiracy" oriented? har.

5. Okay, here's the dream

he wins the oscar tonight, and is invited up on stage to accept it. And when he says his thank yous, he says BTW, I know there's been a lot of talk of me running, and even a draft Gore campaign. Well, you don't have to draft me, I'll go willingly, and throw my hat in the ring.

[Atman]

6. I'm hoping for that one, too.

Oh pleezopleezopleez!

[MzNov]

9. He would never announce at an event like the Oscars.

Al Gore is a very very smart politician. and a classy one. He doesn't need to announce tonight, to create a nightmare of criticism from the right. He can announce on the last day of the deadline and still sweep the country. Hell, even the Publicans are going to vote for him. Just sayin



Let's Al Gore Landslide !!!!

:bounce:

[Atman]

12. That's a good point -- the right would skewer him for stealing the night

And hogging all the limelight for himself, blah blah blah. Although, he'd sure be in a perfect, friendly audience to do so!

17. If he says anything at all, I hope it is this

"Who would you like to have that beer with now?"

[DesertRat]

15. I hope he doesn't announce tonight

But I do hope he jumps into the race, maybe later this summer. :bounce:

[evlbstrd]

22. He won't announce tonight.

But I hope the audience starts a chant!

16. As to

"the only question that remains about the outcome of the 2008 election — should Gore run — is who is his ideal running mate."
