8. You know, people can do two things at once

I happen to be the Vice Chair of my local democratic party and am working my butt off on local, state, and national 2006 elections. However, I am also going to push this for 2008.

Just becuase someone talks about 2008, that doesn't mean they are doing nothing about 2006.

[drummo]

18. Yes Dems will win in 2006

:bounce:

[rzemanfl]

10. I'd like him to be Vice-President to John Kerry after Kerry is

appointed to the House of Representatives, elected Speaker and Bush and Cheney are impeached. I say this only because he is younger than Kerry and I'd like Gore to be elected President in 2016, when Kerry is done and stay in office until January of 2025.

[drummo]

19. That's quite a plot, man.

[oregonindy]

11. wouldnt it be great to elect him even if he doesnt run? millions of write

in votes!

frickin knock the corporations out of the picture. :)

[Poppyseedman]

12. Retread

Why in the world would the Democratic party want to make Al Gore their presidential candidate for 2008?

The repugs may be on the ropes today, but 2008 is a long way off.

We have better candidates that will appear.

[Jackson4Gore]

13. Oh really?

I seem to recall that was the mantra in 2004. Can you remind me of how that went?

[robbedvoter]

16. You also tried to draft him for 2004. How did THAT go?

[drummo]

21. In 2004 the party establishment was against him. 2008 is different.

[drummo]

20. No we don't. Noone has the combo Gore has.

[LittleClarkie]

27. Who better than someone who's been through it and

knows where all the potholes are?

Plus, he has the benefit of the "I told you so" factor, as well as increasing nostagia for the Clinton era.

[Big Kahuna]

14. No thanks.

[wakemewhenitsover]

23. RE-ELECT PRESIDENT GORE!!

[liberaltrucker]

24. Not a chance

Far too DLC. Sorry.

[drummo]

25. The DLC hates Gore. Read this:

29. So what about Al Gore and Rwanda?

In another thread you were telling me that Gore didn't want to send troups in to save the 800,000 Black folks that were macheted to death there.

Drummo, You said....
"If you want to know Gore would not send US troops to Rwanda if it was happening today. He never flip-flopped on that issue. And the US military is not a toy. You don't send them everywhere where vaious groups are killing each other. By the same token the US military should be in Sudan or should have been in Siera Leone or Somalia."


If what you had said is true Drummo, if this is Al Gore's true stance on what happened in Rwanda, than I'm sorry....as a Human being and a Black American, I cannot say how deeply this troubles me, and I cannot support him...!

In fact, you also said....:"But it's none of our business and it's not a US national security issue. Again, no US troops were killed in Rwanda and noone was killed by the US military in Rwanda. There were not strategic conseuneces.

There were not US guard troops sent to Africa so we would end up with a shortage here at home.

And Gore had been consistently against sending US troops for combat mission to Rwanda.

He regeretted that we didn't send the humanitarian mission earlier but he never said that we should have intervene militraly in way , for example, we did in the Balkans."

Please tell me this isn't so! Please don't tell me that Gore didn't want to do for Rwanda what he ended up pushing for in Kosovo!

[Warren DeMontague]

26. As long as he stays true to himself.

He's at the top of my list.

DONE.
