I Think Its Time For Al Gore To Step Up

[ThomWV]

And become the omnipresent voice of the Democratic Party.

The time to strike our seal of Integrity on the public mind is now and there is no one better suited to the task than the man who has most notoriously run afoul of this immoral bunch of criminals.

The public is receptive, the time is now.

1. In what capacity? N/T

[ThomWV]

6. Future Nominee nt

And for the moment the conscious of America, the outraged conscious.

[bowens43]

9. Nominee for what?

He was a huge failure as presidential candidate and I see no reason to think that he has improved.

[ThomWV]

10. If You Had Watched You Would Have Noticed He Won

How winning equates to a failure as a candidate is way over my head. Maybe you can explain?

[ladjf]

24. Wasn't all that bad of a failure. He won the election in 2000.

2. Al is apparently moving to San Francisco and shepherding his new network.

I'm not sure he wants to do this anymore.

However, I agree with you- he has the moral chops to do this.

[ailsagirl]

3. Really? He's moving to California?

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. Yep,

maybe run for Gov of CA?

Lead the country in alternative energy solutions. That would be cool.

[ailsagirl]

13. He'd win in a heartbeat...

He'd be perfect for California but I wish he could take his rightful
place as the real Commander-in-Chief!!!

14. Please , please don't tease me like that. It's cruel. Al Gore in

California?! He would stomp any and all repugs in a race in California. Please tell me it is true.

7. It's the word on the street.

22. I'm not sure he wants to do this anymore.

When I saw him speak last year, someone in the audience yelled out that they wanted him to run again. He said "sorry, no. I'm a recovering politician"

:(

4. Better late than never,

I would be greatly pleased if Al Gore would step up now. I'm not really sure whether to categorize his 2000 performance as a failure to step up to the plate, or a strike out, but it wasn't wonderful.

Still, I believe that it would help if he would speak out now. He's always been intelligent, and reasonably well informed, if a bit wooden. I too would appreciate it if he could find his voice now.

8. Need some wood? In this case, YES!!!!!

11. Something wrong with Howard Dean?

I think he is doing a great job.

12. I've been thinking about a Gore/Kerry ticket for '08. Poetic justice.

The two men who were unlawfully deprived of the White House, the first by the Supreme Court, the second by Bush's buds at Diebold and ES&S ('TRADE SECRET," PROPRIETARY programming code in their new election theft machines, with virtually no audit/recount controls). (You think they went to all the trouble to achieve this capability, and then didn't use it? Har-har.)

Nothing Americans love more than justice. Add in "poetic" and they love it even more.

Gore made some great speeches last year, and seems like a man on fire. He was particularly good on the torture issue, and the degradation of American values that the Bush junta has wrought. And Kerry? What can I say? I think he can be brought along, under the guidance of a man on fire with strong democratic ideals. And I am 100% convinced that Kerry won in 2004 (a big win, by about 5%), even with his iffy stance on the war (which 60% of Americans have opposed from the beginning, Feb. '03, before the invasion), and other problems. He won. He convinced enough people--I think with his basic decency and intelligence. He got Diebolded.

Aside from that--poetic justice--I'm for Boxer/Conyers. Although there is something poetic about that, too. The two people in Washington DC who believe that we should have fair, honest, transparent elections, and were willing to put their bodies on the line for it, under the withering ridicule of criminals like Tom Delay.

That's my ticket.

Hillary will be chosen for us, of course--if we can't get rid of Diebold and ES&S in the meantime. We won't have any say in the matter. But I can dream. Also, I think we should set election reform as PRIORITY NO. 1, whatever they do to us, and never, never, never, never, NEVER give up on our right to vote. NEVER! PRIORITY NO. 1. Nothing else matters!

[Kahuna]

15. I think so too. We need someone with a strong voice to school

the American idiots about their transgressions. Bill won't do it. Too busy trying not to be too controversial for Hil.

[Southsideirish]

16. Gore & Boxer or Gore & Feingold. I'll take either and 'vow to ring 1,000

doorbells for them.

[tatertop]

17. I like the sound of that

[melody]

18. I agree, I think that's happening

Al is quiet now due to the season, but we'll be hearing more from him shortly. :)

[Burning Water]

19. I voted for Gore in 2000, but

the total lack of fight that he showed in this epic battle has soured me against him. He had a chance to make a difference, then didn't.

[NYCGirl]

20. You must've been asleep when Al Gore fought for six weeks after

unconceeding and did it without the help of the Democratic Party or the media.

[sduncang]

21. Gore?? Nope, sorry.

I really like Al Gore. He should've been President, but, sadly, his time has come and gone. No doubt I'd vote for him, but he simply can't win. We need someone that can win, someone the Republicans simply hate...someone like....hmmmm....Hillary.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

23. lol!

If we can't all agree on Gore, you think we'll agree on Hillary!!??

I'd vote for Gore in a heartbeat, Hillary... never.

[Stevepol]

25. Sorry to demur, but If the votes are counted fairly, a green gecko lizard

if it had Dem by its name would beat anything the Repubs could put out there.

The problem is in the qualification: IF THE VOTES ARE COUNTED FAIRLY.

I repeat: If the votes are counted fairly, ANYBODY THE DEMS RUN will beat anything the Repubs have to offer.

If things remain as they are today, w/ GA, AL, OH unquestionably in the R column and many other states where the percentages will be clearly tilted dramatically in the R's favor, I don't think any Dem could win or will win.

This is the long and short of it.

But there are a lot of people out there now who are working to change things and there is still a chance that something will happen between now and then to restore our democracy. We need to stay active and aware of what's happening.
