GORE FOR PRESIDENT: A Thread for Supporters

[The Sushi Bandit]

Time to raise your hand!
Lets hear it from all those who support Al running for President!!

[baldguy]

1. Here!

[Nickster]

2. Present!

[Hydra]

3. Run Al, Run!

We need you!!!

[HeraldSquare212]

6. I still remember yelling Run, Jesse, Run

as Gary Hart left the Plaza one afternoon as I happened to be walking by.

[HeraldSquare212]

4. Me, too.

[rzemanfl]

5. Absolutely! A Gore candidacy is a sure winner, no matter how

much they cheat. Big business and the MSM are terrified of Gore.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. Both hands raised, jumping up and down....

To tell the truth, NONE of the current roster of Dems do much for me. Al would fit the bill much better.

[peace frog]

8. Right here, dude!

RUN AL RUN!!!!

[Kurovski]

9. Until he says "no", I'm in.

[CitizenLeft]

16. right.

Until he says "not only no, absolutely not, but hell no!" I'm in. :P

[TheDoorbellRang]

110. You got that right

I'm in until we get the Shermanesque statement. :thumbsup:

[shireen]

10. me! me! me! me! me!

If he does not enter the race, I'm not going to vote in the primaries 'cos it won't matter who gets nominated.

[livvy]

11. Ok...

[AtomicKitten]

12. Re-elect Gore 2008.

It's been one big celebration palooza here in SF today!!
(and time for a nap)

[Hepburn]

13. Please, Al Gore.....

...RUN!!!!!!!!

I want someone on the top of the ticket in 2008 who I can support and work for and not someone I will vote for just because he/she is a Democrat.

PLEASE RUN!!!!! :patriot:

[DesertRat]

14. I do!!!

[Uncle Joe]

15. I will do whatever is within my power to help President Gore

reclaim that which was stolen from him and the American People.

I just want to say, don't expect the corporate media to follow suit as they were primarily responsible for trashing, slandering and libeling him for the better part of two years prior to the selection of 2000 while giving Bush a free pass. I imagine it would be tough for them to come out in public and eat crow. As for the task of regaining our Democratic Republic, don't expect the corporate media to aid too much if any in that endeavor, they have their own agenda and it has nothing to do with democracy or justice here in the U.S.A.

Edit for P.S. Thank you for the thread Sushi Bandit.:thumbsup:

[proud patriot]

17. We owe it to him

Gore is my choice in the primary whether he runs or not .

I will write him in .

I will support whoever the nominee is .

[kestrel91316]

18. He's my man!

[redqueen]

19. 12th rec from me.

I would love for him to run.

I am nearly DESPERATE for a lot more unity.

[tavalon]

20. I've been keeping my powder dry for him

All of my political contributions will go to him.

[Ice4Clark]

21. Count me in

:headbang:

[bajamary]

22. He's my guy, too. Restore Gore

Restore Gore.

I'll be outside the Hyatt Hotel here in Chicago next Wed. 17th when Al comes to speak to the Economic Club. If you're near Chicago come join us.

My sign will read:

Gore 2008

Run, Al, Run

[flyarm]

121. RestoreGore?

Do you know what you are saying, man? That's blasphemy. I say, blasphemy. One of our members here at DU, whom I'm not allowed to call out by DU rules, goes by that very name and well, he/she is against what we (Gore supporters) believe in. Bite your tongue man. Hang your head in shame.

A lecture and a lashing is on it's way. You've been warned.

29. A Real Chance...

Gore called a lot of attention to the global thorough Live Earth and his movie, but as President he can actually DO something. I doubt the others will take it on seriously, because of corporate interests.

42. I'm all for it.

I'm not thrilled with the current slate of candidates. Another alternative would be nice. Especially one that can save us from Hillary.

[jcg996]

43. I am in, as always, but I am nervous

because after the Peace Prize was announced it seemed to me that the latest round of statements saying "this doesn't change anything" (with respect to Al's staying out of the race) were very strong statements... if there was no repositioning after this momentous occasion, then what event could possibly change anyone's mind? He's happy, doing a great job, and is being rewarded and listened to. Why do anything else than what's working so well?

He has until the end of the month to jump in, in the opinion of most. That's not a long time to wait for something to "click" and change course, and go after the presidency.

I would really appreciate anyone and everyone's thoughts on this... I could use encouragement but I'm also interested in looking at the raw picture of things.

[Rhiannon12866]

44. K&R. Think that we desperately need his intelligence and experience, especially now.

But I doubt that he'll choose to run again. Actually, I think that his winning the Nobel Peace Prize makes a second run for the presidency even more unlikely. We may need him, but he has so much going for him just now, is busy and doing something that he loves, so he doesn't need the headaches of dealing with the mess that Bush* has left for whomever succeeds him...:-(

[WatchWhatISay]

46. But they keep sayin on TV

We're just a small but vocal group

And yeah, count me in

[flyarm]

52. THE BUSH CRIME MEDIA IS SCARED SHITLESS OF GORE GETTING IN RACE!

and the pundits( clowns) are scared shitless of Gore getting in the race, and the neo nazi's are scared shitless of Gore getting in race..and the corporate whores are scared shitless of Gore getting in the race, and the bush junta is scared shitless of Gore getting in..because unlike Hillary..Gore will hold them accountable for the treason they have committed against this nation!

Alas, he seems to have better sense than to wade back into the cesspool.

My hope is really starting to falter, but I won't give in completely until deadlines are passed or he comes out and flat out says, "No, I am not and will not run for 2008" or he endorses another candidate.

PPLLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSEE run, Al!!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

56. I'm on board.

[OneBlueSky]

57. Me Me Me! . . .

I've signed the petitions, I've written letters, I've voted in online polls . . . Al Gore is my candidate, and if they get him on the ballot in New York, I'm voting for him . . . I pray that he has an epiphany and decides to run . . . he seems to think Hillary is unstoppable, but he is dead wrong . . . if he announces, a lot of the celebrities who've come out for Hillary will quickly switch, imo . . . and start a snowball effect that can't be stopped . . .

Run, Al, Run! . . .

[Dora]

58. I'm in. nt

[aggiesal]

59. Congrats Al, on you Nobel Peace Prize, ...

Now it's time to put it to work.

Please run for President.
This country needs statesman, and you, Al, are that statesman.

[SarasotaDem]

60. Here

and accounted for ........ GORE 08 Re-Elect AL Gore

[KoKo]

61. If he sees any opening where he feels he can come in and make a

difference...I feel he will. I think he's watching and waiting to see how it goes with Hillary and the rest of the field. Let's hope this year we can make a difference. There are dark clouds swirling everywhere and folks are not going to be happy with the early primaries and the Media picking our candidates. There huge anger out in America...bubbling away that the Media is trying to keep a lid on and try to make this years campaign the 'same old...same old' with the same pundits pontificating and the same media asking the questions. But, under the suface not very deep is an ANGRY American public watching and waiting.

Gore will be there...if there is a way for him to bypass the "machine." That's why keeping up efforts to draft him are so important. Keeping his visibility going. My 2cents about it.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

62. Count me in! n/t

[disndat]

63. Gore has no choice but to run

His grassroots support is gaining strength with his Nobel Peace Prize award. The write-in votes will split the party and give the presidency to Guiliani, the military industrial complex heir-apparent to Bush. And especially if Nader chooses to run again. Hillary has been set up by the MIC to be the runaway candidate, a straw man they are now busily knocking down. KKKarl Rove has it all planned. Only Gore can rescue the U.S. from almost certain descent into a fascistic state.

[TomClash]

64. I'm on board nt

[FreeStateDemocrat]

65. I'm in all the way, when the idiot bombs Iran, Al will be compelled to run.

whats not to like? I'll vote for him if he runs. Above anyone else. Hope he runs.

70. Huge Caveat:

Gore was a gung ho supporter of NAFTA. Some of us still remember that. Gore's a great crusader against global warming, but a great presidential candidate he is NOT!

Book Excerpt:

Assault on Reason, by Al Gore



Not long before our nation launched the invasion of Iraq, our longest-serving Senator, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, stood on the Senate floor and said: "This chamber is, for the most part, silent—ominously, dreadfully silent. There is no debate, no discussion, no attempt to lay out for the nation the pros and cons of this particular war. There is nothing. We stand passively mute in the United States Senate."

Why was the Senate silent?

In describing the empty chamber the way he did, Byrd invited a specific version of the same general question millions of us have been asking: "Why do reason, logic and truth seem to play a sharply diminished role in the way America now makes important decisions?" The persistent and sustained reliance on falsehoods as the basis of policy, even in the face of massive and well-understood evidence to the contrary, seems to many Americans to have reached levels that were previously unimaginable.

A large and growing number of Americans are asking out loud: "What has happened to our country?" People are trying to figure out what has gone wrong in our democracy, and how we can fix it.

To take another example, for the first time in American history, the Executive Branch of our government has not only condoned but actively promoted the treatment of captives in wartime that clearly involves torture, thus overturning a prohibition established by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
