4. She threw Al under the HillBus. He said he believes Al won in 2000
HUGE difference -- and the applause he got (from MESSIAH COLLEGE no less) was amazing.

29. Not too soon -- it would look like a reaction to the event as opposed to thought out and planned.

30. I know I dont expect it tommorow. Tho Gore is within bounds to react
He got thrown under a political bus!! And the insult spread out even beyond him.

Screw Clinton. (Especially Bill Clinton) It is because her Husband's sex scandal and the vote fraud in 2000 that we got 8 years of Bush and a fucked up world. Her IWR support along with others that led us to a false war. etc...

Gore owes her nothing. The democrats owe her nothing!

40. You'd be surprised how many here not only don't know that, but deny the 2000 theft.
It's like people just join websites without reading the About section these days.

18. Yes. Hi, Yael. People are responding to his leadership, to his ability to
inspire them.

His opponent in the primary race right now just isn't meeting that criterion.

23. Obama is not afriaid to tell it how it is.
I really think we can get congress to investigate the 2000 fraud and other Bush crimes now!

We may not get the Impeach of Bush and his asshole VP that this country needs. But we may see them arrested in the future!

No FUCKING Pardon! No FUCKING sidestepping! As soon as you are president Obama Investigate them!

And the audience was made up of fundamental/conservatives.

Messiah College is about as core as it gets.

45. Oh, snap!! Now *that* is how a Democrat should be talking.
Rather than putting down our past candidates and echoing a falsehood, how about speaking the truth. Gore won the election but it was stolen from him.

Obviously loony! Obviously bitter! x( Sore Loserman!















...well, that's what some of my family members still say about me when I say Gore won. :P

I'm really glad to hear a nationally prominent politician say it in public. It's time for Dems in DC to stop pretending we haven't had a coup in this country.

50. call me crazy, but i do think he will make sure all votes are counted.
his law practice had a focus on voting rights. his campaign seems to be quietly making sure votes are counted now- ie. the nevada lawsuit, and the hand counting of the la double bubble ballots. and, of course, he is a constitutional expert. there is no doubt in my mind that he is the one to turn this country around. not just another politician.

51. Since MSM=Corporate Whore, this all makes perfect sense.
Just as corporations prefer to label "honesty" as "negativity about the company" because it suits their short-term monetary interests, so does the MSM prefer to label honesty as negativity. This allows them to focus on the label, not on the statement and its truth. Hell, if we acknowledge the veracity of remarks like this, holy shit...we, The People, might figure out that the MSM is asleep at the bait 'n' switch, and that there are a host of unexplored issues out there such as Election Theft 2000 and 2004, the 9/11 MIHOP/LIHOP issue, etc. and that we, The People, might expect some accountability and THE TRUTH. And once the truth is known, the corporate culture and its whores would be exposed. And I honestly believe that we, The People, still DO have the power to TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY and THAT'S what these fuckers fear most.

52. So according to Hillary, Karl Rove was justified in trashing Kerry...
...for being elitist, by engaging in <gasp> the sport of windsurfing. I guess in her ever-morphing GOP mindset, quality recreation is best achieved the non-elitist Dick Cheney way -- by shooting your buddy in the face with a shotgun while sloppy drunk.

53. Since the GAO already said that years ago, this is no revelation.
In fact, it's a bit of a "soft" comment.
