If Al Gore doesn't run will you consider him washed up? [View All]

[RestoreGore]

Is the obsession here with him running for president (which I am sure is only political) the only worthy thing he can do to elicit support or conversation about him here? I actually recall going to a "Gore support" site a while ago where one of the administrators actually claimed that if he didn't run in 2008 he would be finished, of course, after saying he needs to lose weight. Some support. So, not in poll form but in question form, if he doesn't run for chairman of the military industrial complex in 2008 is he washed up?

I already know the answer to that question, and think I can say with relative surety that he most certainly will not be washed up. This is actually the best phase of his life and I see absolutely great things coming in the next chapters of his life and ours for him doing this work he is doing now for our planet. But of course, this is a political board, so God forbid anyone support him here without waving pom poms and actually believing the words coming out of his mouth lest they be banished to the corner.

As his wonderful wife Tipper stated in the TIME article The Last Temptation of Al Gore, he has access now to business leaders and heads of state globally, great influence, the necessary resources, and can do what he wishes to do regarding this crisis his way for as long as he wishes to without compromising his soul or who he is, so who would give that up? I sure as hell know I wouldn't... Not to be a part of this toxic system. Hell, I just read tonight that people are saying Bloomberg if he should enter is willing to spend 1 BILLION dollars to buy the White House. This country has jumped the shark as far as politics is concerned. It is a farce, a circus, and a side show, and the last thing I would want for Mr. Gore to do is join them... not when he is now so far beyond all of that rhetoric and making progress on a crisis that from what I can see will take a great amount of time to disseminate to the people enmasse without much time left to do it and without the help of a federal government that has FAILED us on this crisis.
