GORE IN 08! (Yes? No?)

[BLUSH]

Nixon came back after 8 years, so why not? Gore In 2008:

[SammyWinstonJack]

1. YES!

I love Gore!

[Pam-Moby]

2. yes n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. Gore 2000 or Gore 2003?

:shrug:

Different dudes.

[porphyrian]

87. Exactly.

Pre-2003 Gore can kiss my ass. Gore 2003 would be an improvement, but I'm not convinced we should be trying a rerun at all.

[don954]

4. i heard he learned to loosen up and talk to people better

if so, he could clean up.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. As long as he stays feisty, I'm in. n/t

[wuushew]

6. Yes

Gore/Feingold 2008 :dem:

[FreedomAngel82]

22. That would be great!

I'd like that ticket. Feingold is great too. He's the only person in the Senate who voted against the "Patriot Act". :D

[BLUSH]

7. THE CASE FOR GORE

Marshall Wittmann floats the notion of an Al Gore presidential run in 2008. He's a bit of a skeptic, but I'm pretty enthusiastic. Gore offers, I think, just about what the Democrats need: an opposition to the Iraq War that's based neither on retrospective carping nor a general reluctance to use force, but rather a realistic assessment of the weakness of the case for war. He was a liberal hawk back in the 1980s before it was cool and, even better, made an effort during his congressional days to become a genuine expert on military issues and not just rack up a reflexively "tough" record. He backed the first Gulf War when most of his colleagues opposed it. During the Clinton administration he was, by all accounts, identified with the more aggressive side during the internal foreign-policy debates.

[silvershadow]

9. it would be nice for him to finally assume the office he won

that is, IF he could win it. The rigged elections are what scare me though.

[Davis_X_Machina]

15. The nation still has not come to grips...

...with the judicial coup of 12/12/2000, a date that historians gifted with the perspective that comes with distance and the passage of time will conclude was far more of a blow to the Republic than 9/11.

Electing Gore will go a long way towards righting that wrong.

Restitution for theft requires the return of the thing stolen, and not something else, to the person from whom it was stolen, and not someone else.

Gore in '08 -- it's the moral thing to do.

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Hear hear

This picture of Gore is so cute! I love seeing him with kids.

[Uncle Joe]

52. Could not have said this better myself. n/t

[Must_B_Free]

10. 1. He's not running

2. he doesn't want to run
3. he's a loser
4. he's a liar
5. he's boring

Let's see is that all the reasons everyone told me he couldn't run in 2004?

Check!

Other than the first two, I never believed the others...

[Rufus T. Firefly]

11. Yes.

If he's the nominee. I'm a Clark man.

[liberaltrucker]

12. Absolutely NO!!

The party needs new blood. Wes '08 IMHO

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. lol! I wanted him to run again last year. Of course in 2008. n/t

[longship]

14. The new Gore, Yes!

The old Gore, absolutely not.

[CAG]

16. With all due respect to VP Gore, in 2000 in a good economy

his dull-as-a-stick persona couldn't beat a village idiot from TX. Yes he got a few more votes, but my left pinky finger would have gotten more votes than daddy's little dumb rich boy from TX.

[RummyTheDummy]

18. Anyone who knows Gore knows he's never been boring

That was the RW media memo to the nation trumpeted by Repug pundits. It was a sham.

[Swamp Rat]

28. Well, I thought he did well on the Tonight Show a few minutes ago.

I'd vote for him, as well as Wes Clark, Bob Graham, Dean, Dennis K, Boxer, Conyers... there's a lot of great Dems to choose from. Hell, I'd vote for Jimmy Carter! Gore is worthy of the office AND is well-prepared for it.

I'm afraid we need ALL of them, combined, in order to kick out the lizards.

[CAG]

40. I'm not talking about anyone who knows Gore, I'm talking about the

280 million americans who didn't know Gore. They viewed him for 8 years as Clintons VP, and then saw him daily for a year campaigning. The only thing a repub pundit campaign could do would be to exacerbate an already existing problem that he had; the american peoples perception that he was just boring and stiff as a tree.

I'm sure he's a great guy, I'm sure he's not boring, all I'm saying is that he had several years to convince america to get excited about him, and he couldn't do it.

[Uncle Joe]

53. Do you believe Gore only beat Bush by half a million plus votes,

because Gore was boring? How about the rest of the corpwhorate media's slander against him. You know the chipping away at his credibility with the "he claimed to have invented the internet", "he claimed to have discovered Love Canal" slanders, etc. Or reversing themselves overnight over who won the 2000 debates. There was an unprecedented war against Gore by our so called "fourth estate watchdogs" ever since 1998 all because he took some of their power away and gave it to us. The village idiot from Texas was enabled to power by the prostitutes in the media not because he earned it, but because the bad guys are in control of American Journalism and they wanted a bad guy in control of the White House. Someone that would advance their United States Inc. agenda. However the internet is steadily gaining power, Gore's new television/internet hybrid has come on line and the media whores' crediblity is at an all time low. On top of that, most if not all of what Al warned the people against has come to pass. The man that was to restore honor and integrity to the White House is covering up or enabling his subordinates in outing one of our own CIA agents in the midst of war.

P.S. The Lewinsky scandal certainly did not help Al in 2000 particularly in the moderate to conservative states.

[BLUSH]

17. send Al Gore a letter

http://algore2008.net/contactal.html

[Kazak]

19. YES! I'm on board!

Al Gore, step up and claim your rightful position!!!

[demgurl]

20. Nope,not unless he runs with Joe Wilson.

I started a thread earlier about what a hero that man is. I had no idea all the things he had done including standing up to Saddam! I would really love to start a movement to get Joe to run.

[FreedomAngel82]

21. Yes

If there is no way to ever prove John Kerry won and couldn't ever be president I would like Al Gore. In 2000 I wanted to vote for him but wasn't old enough. :( I'm a proud Al Gore Tennessean democrat! And I like how he is now with public speaking. He's so laid back and more comfortable on camera. :) He could kick ass in the debates.

[wiggs]

23. Yes, if it's the Gore who gave fiery speeches before November 2004.

No if it's the lock box, policy wonk Gore.

[Bouncy Ball]

24. If he's the nom, I would be more than happy to support him

and vote for him. He's a fine man and a good leader. He has given some really impassioned speeches in the last couple of years that have been right on the money.

[FreedomAngel82]

27. It would be interesting

to see him and Hillary battle it out. Al would win the primaries in a heart beat.

[Swamp Rat]

29. Yes it would!

:popcorn:

I would drop everything to support him. Plus, folks suspect that Hillary was given a Pod. Maybe Al will use his iPod (code for "incinerate Pod(s)" - alien spores), and we, the human iPodcasters, will help defeat the infiltration. :D

[Bouncy Ball]

31. Hey the lightning bolt fingers are classic!

[Swamp Rat]

32. I've been busy lately...

Classes are over for the Summer! :woohoo: So, I've had time to make some new pix. :D

[BLUSH]

67. Santorum Card

[Swamp Rat]

82. Way'at BLUSH!

:hi:

[proud patriot]

26. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat

:thumbsup:

[otohara]

30. Resounding Yes

love the man and his wife

[Taylor Mason Powell]

33. Hell yes!

I can't say enough good things about Al Gore. Not only does he get my vote for President in 2008, he gets my vote for finest, most-upstanding Democratic politician/public servant of the last 25 years. I think the guy is as brilliant as Clinton, with more of a heart. And the man is FUNNY, I don't care what anybody says.

In fact, one of the things that's been hardest to bear for me over the last five years is the thought of who we could have had as president instead.

[ailsagirl]

34. Absolutely. In a heart beat. One hundred percent. YES

:loveya: :kick: :patriot:

[garybeck]

35. YESSS. better than kerry, better than hillary.

[garybeck]

36. I think I know why gore didn't run in 04

DIEBOLD

[Uncle Joe]

55. It is imperative that we find a solution to Diebold. n/t

[Gloria]

37. YES!

[Goldmund]

38. Better him than Kerry or Hillary

But new blood would be nice.

[AlGore-08.com]

39. Obviously I say HELL YES - - our best qualified candidate ever

He's proven he can both win and govern. He's made this country much better for his service so far.

[AuntPatsy]

41. The only one tough enough to beat them at their own game is Hillary

People can doubt such news all the like, it happens to be the truth, you have to play their game and use the same rules, and she obviously knows how....

Gore had my pity obviously, but he should have fought, so should have Kerry, don't doubt that Hillary will no matter how much you dispise her...

Just remember, they want you to, by doing so, they again are winning..

42. Top 10 Reasons Why Al Gore

Top 10 Reasons Why Al Gore Would Be a Better Wartime President Than George W. Bush

Bob Fertik

Al Gore would be in charge. On September 11, he would have stopped reading his children's book and flown directly back to the White House - not meandering through Louisiana and Nebraska because his Vice President wanted to keep him away from the meetings where crisis decisions were being made. Al Gore would be calling the shots.

http://archive.democrats.com/view.cfm?id=4957

[ProfessorGAC]

43. No! One Word! Charisma

We need to grab people with a charismatic candidate. They're out there. We had some in the '04 primaries and lost our way. Technocrats are not the answer in the short term.
The Professor

[BLUSH]

44. I guess you didn't see his performance on Jay Leno

Or on SNL a couple of years ago.

[ProfessorGAC]

46. I Did. Wooden and Stiff

Sorry. He is in need of a charisma transplant.
The Professor

[BLUSH]

47. He seemed very relaxed to me.

I guess it depends on what prism you're looking through.

[ProfessorGAC]

49. Probably True

But, if he really was charismatic, it would have shown through in his entire campaign. And, if it did, he would have demolished Silverspoon. There was no contest if Al would have had the pure "follow me" charisma.
The Professor

[BLUSH]

80. Someone stole his mojo

:)

[Uncle Joe]

58. Of course, why don't we let the media prostitutes

tell us who has charisma. They brainwashed the American People in to believing that the most important thing to consider when choosing a President was who would you rather have a beer with. Bush won that one hands down, (although personally I would rather have a piss warm stale watered down beer with Al than the coldest best brand that you can you think of with Bush)and the nation has been drunk ever since. It is about time that we sobered up and put an adult in charge.

[ohio_liberal]

45. No

If he were to run in 08 you can forget about swinging Ohio. Not even the conservative union Dems will vote for him. He's carrying Bill Clinton's baggage over the steel industry tariffs.

[i miss america]

48. Yes. A much better choice than Kerry

[BLUSH]

50. Go get 'em tiger!

[ThomWV]

51. Absolutly - I Will Support Him In The Primarys and In the General Election

And I pray God he has the good sense to ask Wesley Clark to be his running mate and that General Clark accept the second spot.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

54. yes

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

56. sure, why not - anyone to give hillary the republicrat a run for her money

i'd support him against her.

and this is coming from someone who voted for ol' ralph in 2000

[Renew Deal]

57. No

Time for some new blood.

[Uncle Joe]

60. What makes new blood as opposed to best blood desirable? n/t

[Renew Deal]

61. IMHO He's not the most desirable.

But that's just me. I would like to see Warner, Clark (maybe), Bayh (to mix it up), Feingold, maybe Schweitzer. There are probably a few others.

[progressivebydesign]

59. YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! n/t

[kerry-is-my-prez]

62. He should have run the last time around - it's too late now.

n/t

[Dave Reynolds]

63. I'd vote for him again,

and perhaps someone would actually count it.

I would not vote for Hillary or other "right-moderates".

[Gingergal]

64. Hell, yes!! Al in '08!!

I'm another fan of the man from Tennessee.

[BLUSH]

65. Whatever happened to learning the lessons of history?

Richard Nixon (not exactly Mr Charisma) was declared politically dead in the early 60s. He lost a close election to Kennedy in 1960. He skipped the 1964 race.

What happened in 1968 to the man who was way down and counted out and said he wouldn't be kicked around anymore?

[Jersey Devil]

74. He got the nomination as payback

because he had campaigned tirelessly for Republicans in the 60's. Then the Tet Offensive happened and he got lucky.

[lateo]

66. Not yes...HELL YES!

[BLUSH]

70. Gore Gear Is Here

[zestfolly]

71. President Gore Now

http://p.webring.com/hub?ring=presidentgorenow

An extremely Pro-President Gore and an extremely anti-bush webring. We want President Gore now and the thief, the illegal resident, smirk boy, Georgie, must get out now. Impeachment or resignation, Dubya must go immediately.

[KansDem]

72. How about a "Gore/Clark" ticket?

Hmmmm...That's one to ponder.

[BLUSH]

76. I don't think Clark would want to be number 2 on a ticket.

I could be wrong, but that's just the feeling I get.

[1932]

73. Why?

[greekspeak]

75. I like Gore a lot. But I am afraid of the baggage he carries around

Is he boring/wooden/stiff? No, not really. But if you don't think the MSM will do its best to make him into a robot, you are wrong.

Did he say he invented the Internet? No. But the MSM will blare this foolishness loud and clear.

Was he connected with Clinton? The MSM will be all Blue Dress all the time, assuring that the Gore-Clinton connection is run into the ground.

Is he somewhere to the left of Stalin? No. But the MSM will paint him as a communist, wherever he stands.

Then we will hear endlessly about the sour grapes in 2000, how the second the MSM called Florida for Shrub, that Gore did not rush in and surrender.

And you know as well as I do that Republicans can run anyone, no matter how many dumptrucks full of baggage they carry around, will be honored in the MSM like gods. Oh X is so honest. Oh, listen to X's down home accent. Oh, how Christian X is. X has real values. A recent poll of 100 Fundivangelical Christians who work for X show that 100 percent think that X is a grand old guy/gal so that must be normative for the rest of America.

We need someone with less baggage.

[BLUSH]

77. "will paint him as a communist"

Won't the MSM and GOP paint ANYONE who runs against them as a communist/traitor/evildoer/etc.? Really, whatever the candidate might lack in baggage, the GOP will "restore" with their smear tactics.

[Warren DeMontague]

86. Oh, baloney. They would smear Ghandi, Jesus or the Dalai Lama

if we ran any of them, too.

Enough with the triangulation and trying to figure out which candidate is "palatable" and "can't be smeared"... (we tried that this past year, remember? John Kerry was supposed to be unfreakintouchable... you know, war hero, yadda yadda... remember how well that worked out?)

What we need is someone who is ready (and not afraid) to speak the truth and fight for this country. If Gore continues to show that he's that guy, he is right at the top of my list for 2008.

[anarchy1999]

79. Just shoot me now. I don't think I can get behind this one!

Do you still really believe we will have an "election/selection"? I'm not so sure.

God knows how much Bush loves the thought of a "dictatorship". Keep it in mind.

[Hubert Flottz]

81. GORE/DEAN!

They could start campaigning today!

[BLUSH]

83. Dean has already promised not to run

Remember when he became chairperson?

[BLUSH]

84. We need a GORETIME president

[Warren DeMontague]

85. OH YEAH. (As long as it's "Fightin' Al" Gore)

I want him to come out swingin'.

I like Wes, but I'd say stick Clark in the #2 slot.

[in_cog_ni_to]

88. NO. n/t

[SnowBack]

89. I'd be proud...

... to cast my first vote ever (as an American) for Gore... :bounce:

[BLUSH]

90. It would probably also be ...

your first vote discarded as an American. (In this country, the Supreme Court decides. FYI)

:sarcasm:

[oc2002]

91. No, he had his shot.

nt,

[Guaranteed]

92. Absolutely.

I say Gore/Clark '08.
