Just caught this on CNN Al Gore is rounding up 130 critically ill
patients and transporting them out for medical attention. I was half listening and only caught the end of the report. Did anyone hear all of this?

57. I had an email from St Jude's hospital in Memphis
that they were working on getting pediatric cancer patients transferred to their facilities. I wonder if that's part of what Gore is working on.

8. I just had the same thought
Maybe we are seeing the beginning of a military coop, bringing the legal and rightful President of the United States back into power. Oh My God, I cannot believe this thought went thru my head.

48. It would not be THAT hard to
overturn that particular SCOTUS decison I don't think. In light of recent events; if we pushed that idea (or the senators and reps got it into their heads) it might happen. Here's to impossibilities.....

Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 11:51 AM by stlsaxman
Al Gore and Jabbar Gibson- two real heroes that can bring this nation healing again.

I'm gonna paraphrase both men by their actions: "Fuck this shit- we gotta HELP these people!"

11. Why didn't George Bush do this yesterday? He rode in that big plane alone
While people were dying he flew off and left them there.

24. He had a photo operation in front of 3 rescue helicopters and their
crews. Bush is a worthless government comercial on rerun; I am so sick of the America that he projects.

13. Heard he tried to do this earlier
like Wednesday or Thursday but was stopped by some federal red tape. Can't remember the details. Was listening to the national feed of WIBR from Baton Rouge. Said Gore hired 2 planes and staff out of his own pocket.
Is anyone compiling a list of all the aid that the Bush admin has rejected or stalled since this thing began. I've heard of Canadian search and rescue team not allowed into the country, NG troops staged and waiting for the call, NorthCom waiting for the call, RedCross not being allowed to distribute food, Chicago's offers being spurned, international offers being rejected.
It's like this administration wants New Orleans and its people to just die, and not darken their sterling record of achievement <sarcasm if you don't recognize it.>

Another testament to what kind of man he is: he clearly didn't just give up and tuck his tail between his legs. What could have been!

14. Gore will always be president to me.
Whatever went down in FL in 2000 and Ohio last year, Gore - and Kerry - will always be more presidential in my mind than Trippy McFallsalot will ever hope to come close to.

In fact, he'd probably STILL BE President because he'd have
won a second term.

It breaks my heart to think how different things would be had
the effing neocons not hijacked our country.

Not a photo-op, but action to help people.

What I always knew you would do, each and every day. And, had Scalia and the SCOTUS not been traitors to America, the past five years would have been vastly more ethical, moral, creative and productive than they have been.


Peace.
