My short take on Gore's speech...

[New Earth]

I'm just sayin'....

sounded to me like (implying) a call for impeachment - so many times i heard the phrases 'violation of law' and 'violation of constitutional rights'
which are the main grounds to call for impeachment, right?

also, i felt throughout the entire speech all of his references to the fact that only the 'governed' can make it better - especially towards the end of his speech - like he was hinting at somewhat of a revolution. i feet truly inspired to revolt! :bounce:



but maybe that's just me

1. Not just you.

:hi:

:thumbsup:

[Upfront]

2. Hell Ya!

I am in!

[Mike Nelson]

3. he should have DEMANDED the crook leave office

and declared himself President in exile

[ananda]

4. Yes, implicit in his speech was a call for revolution!

The people are the only hope.

[stlsaxman]

5. AND he was blatantly telling BOTH houses they need to get off their asses

and DO SOMETHING!!!!

That speech was nothing short of exquisite.

[Junkdrawer]

18. Yep. He tried to go beyond a frustrated "Call for Impeachment"...

to a demand for the real steps that proceed an ACTUAL impeachment.

6. it was the best speech I have ever heard

:yourock:

[cami715]

7. I agree also

So many references to violations of the constitution, endangering our democracy, not revealing the truth, withholding information, etc.
It sounded so like a call for impeachment!
And Hillary's comments about the Bush administration today seemed to be supporting what Gore said.

Let it be!

[Glimmer of Hope]

8. Yes - This was his message!

If we don't act now, our country is in a lot of trouble.

[Lars39]

9. Yes! At least three times in his speech.

:bounce:

10. It's not about impeachment...

It's about a President who broke the law....
who contunues to break the law
and who intends to keep breaking the law.

That's the issue that both republicans and democrats must address...
impeachment may come... punishments may be doled out...
but first we have to STOP THE CRIMES BEING COMMITTED BY BUSH RIGHT NOW !!!

[Horse with no Name]

11. He made his case

Now it is up to "we the people" to do something about it.

[Sydnie]

12. Not just you Faye

I had to watch it again to make sure I didn't dream it. It was a great speech and he did dance around the "I" word.

[feelthebreeze]

13. It was a clear call to save our Democracy...

What is unclear about "Constitutional crisis"? He is calling for actions from we the people. I was stunned by his idea to bring Fitzgerald to the cause and yes, of course he was calling for the beginning phases of impeachment to begin. My tears were shed not only for the support of someone in power to present our fears, but also a fear that we only have so much time left to stop this atrocity before it gets too powerful to stop. The clarion call was given to our party for Oppositional force and we must demand it at any cost. If it does not present, then yes, he was reminding us that this Nation is ours. We the people decide the course of our Democracy and a revolution must occur if the Needs of our citizens continue to not be met.

14. He called out Congress to act the way they were meant to act....and now WE

have to bombard Repugs AND Democrats in this next week....we have until the 24th.

Feinstein was there--I hope she was shamed into regretting her comments about not filibustering...

[understandinglife]

15. It is time for "We the People ..." to take charge.

Peace.

[hang a left]

16. It was definately a

CALL TO ARMS!!!!

[pacalo]

17. That's how the remarks came across to me, too.

Perhaps a massive group of people marching up to Capitol Hill to demand changes? But then, are there enough gulag cages to hold us all?

I'm thinking he was calling for us all -- in both parties -- to put pressure on our congresspeople to do something about this corrupt presidency. It's going to take some defections from the Republican congresspeople, though, to get the ball rolling. Democrats can't do it alone.

19. it's good to see it wasn't just me

an hour later, i'm feeling really angry about the Bush admin!
i need to find the SHUT IT DOWN thread!!!!! :mad:
