1. Here's hoping it's prescient!

[seemslikeadream]

2. me too

:7

[BattyDem]

3. ROFL!

:rofl:

That's brilliant! :D

[moonlady0623]

4. Fabulous!

I love it! Al's my guy!!!! If he doesn't run can we all do a massive write in campaign? Wouldn't it be cool if the guy who DIDN'T spend $100M WON!

[Phredicles]

26. That's been my thought too.

[BuyingThyme]

5. It seems like it was ten years ago.

The first time I saw that cartoon.

[StarryNite]

6. That's wonderful!

[karlrschneider]

7. Heh heh...

Not exactly true to the fable, but pretty clever. :-)

[orleans]

8. check out this picture on randi's website today:

[LSK]

11. I hope so

Randi doesnt want to take sides right now but she will jump on the Gore bandwagon immediately if he jumps in.

[orleans]

21. you missed a piece of her show the other day. check this out:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1108914&mesg_id=1108914

"so i said never pick somebody in the primary, just go with the nominee; wait till the primaries are over and then fall in line and get this person elected because any democrat is better than any republican any day.

"so i usually don't pick somebody during the primary. but i will say this: if al gore gets in the race? i'm picking him. i'll pick him this afternoon if he announces, i'll pick him tomorrow night--whenever he wants to announce--i'm picking him. america needs him. and...i love him."
from randi's show wednesday june 13, 2007

it was near the end of the third hour of the show. i put up this post on it.

[mod mom]

62. Me too! Saving all my political contributions and GOTV energy for President Gore.

[giventruth]

67. maybe..

Maybe the other way around... there are no term limits for Vice Presidents.

[Sapere aude]

9. If Gore runs how will the media treat him this time?

Will they have a hay day making fun of him again?

[LSK]

12. his book is a preemptive strike against that sort of nonsense from the MSM

[Bucky]

14. Yes, and now there's no WAY they'd excoriate him over the same old bullshit

Except one flaw in your theory. They'll do it anyway and not feel a lick of shame.
.

[LSK]

15. they can try, but how effective will it be?

Remember he won in 2000 and hes much more popular now.

[Bucky]

24. Hey, guess what the difference is between Red koolaid and Blue koolaid.

The packaging is different. Otherwise it's the same useless sugar water.

[Morgana LaFey]

20. How so?

Maybe I'm feeling especially dense today -- I don't quite get your point.

[LSK]

25. are you reading his book?

He points out how the MSM is talking stupid things like Paris Hilton and someones hair and how they should be talking about a candidates actual policies and issues and the MSM falls flat on this.

Hopefully millions are reading this book and learning to see past the nonsense and look at the important issues.

[Morgana LaFey]

27. No, I'm not reading his book which is why I asked what you meant

Thanks.

[Cant trust em]

53. Anyone who is taking the time to read his book

already don't give a shit about Paris Hilton. I'd really doubt that there are too many people who are going to put down their People magazine to read The Assault on Reason. The best we can hope for to that end is for CNN to interrupt coverage of his book to show Paris in a squad car.

[nosillies]

55. Good point (I'm also raising my hand to acknowledge I am one of those you're talking about)

No kidding...last night I read a little bit of the latest People (to which I subscribe), and then put it down to continue with Assault.

:shrug:

But then I finished People this morning. And I read Star right after.

[Mabus]

18. They'd add it to their rotation in between Edwards's haircut and what Hillary is wearing today

On the other hand, the media will continue to slobber over Fred Thompson's "movie star good looks" and Romney's "all-American boy good looks".

[IndyOp]

40. If the media picks on Gore, we snuff the media. 'Nough said. (n/t)

[loudsue]

41. Exactly! We'll call every single sponsor of every single news show,

every single day, or twice a day each, until they start putting pressure on the MSM to talk straight.

It CAN happen, and it has worked before.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Uncle Joe]

58. I agree.IndyOp. n/t

[OnionPatch]

45. I don't think we should be

deciding on who we want for president by figuring out who the media will be the easiest on. They are going to try to destroy any Democrat that runs. Period. If they are Republican Lite they may go a little easier on them. But I'm not going to vote for Repub-Lite because I'm afraid of the media. We have to fight back.

[colorado_ufo]

56. Don't worry about the media.

They will go whatever way the last wind blows. If they think it's a good story and will sell papers or get ratings, that's all that counts. If they know people want change, they will support Gore and turn on * like a bunch of crazed hyenas.

See, the problem is, you are confusing the media as it is SUPPOSED TO BE and SOMEWHAT USED TO BE with the POS it is now, having morphed from the Fourth Estate into just another form of corporate money-making-machine.

[HughBeaumont]

10. Dear GOD please let it be true.

Al Gore is the only candidate I'm interested in (besides Kucinich, who won't get the nom because America sucks). He needs to run and begin a presidency of change. More importantly, a presidency we can be proud of and honor. Lord knows we haven't had that in quite a long time.

[malaise]

13. LOL

Sweet.

[madokie]

16. Yes

Al Gore will be our next president

[mzmolly]

17. That's awesome!

:toast:

[momophile]

19. please jump in, Al. nt

[Hubert Flottz]

22. I like it too.

And I hope it comes true.

[tinrobot]

23. Perfect...

He's setting himself up for such an easy run. All he has to do is step over the line...

I sooooooooooo want him to run. This country needs him.

[Pastiche423]

28. The 1st word that popped into my head, too

Perfect!

The world needs Al Gore as president.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

29. Is that Kucinich?

:evilgrin:

[Pastiche423]

30. From the illustrator's web site...

[helderheid]

33. oh God, that's GREAT!

[Grandrose]

31. He is the Right Man!!

Gore/Obama is the way to go!:popcorn: :kick:

[proud patriot]

32. Made me smile

B-)

[conspirator]

34. He should not leave it for to late. Or he wont have any chance nt

[lonestarnot]

35. Beeeeeeautiful!

Go ahead on Al, kick it!

[ClayZ]

36. Me too!

K and R

[BrklynLiberal]

37. As always, a picture is worth a million words

[Sequoia]

38. Oh so clever, look at that smile.

[rosesaylavee]

39. Yep, that's #44.

[usregimechange]

42. Thats about the truth

[JI7]

43. one of the best i have seen on this matter

[SeattleGirl]

44. Wonderful pic!!!!

Please, oh please, oh please run, Al!!!!

[Liberal In Texas]

46. Oh, in my dreams. n/t

[me b zola]

47. Hoot! That toon brought a big smile to my face

:)

[fazoolius_2006]

48. Fantastic!

[mdelaguna2000]

49. Daring to hope...

[cqo_000]

51. There is a certain smugness to that smile that I find disturbing

I've never thought of Gore as someone who would gloat over a victory.I really think he's got more integrity than that.

[getmeouttahere]

54. Are you kidding??? First, its a cartoon, so lighten up....

second, if anyone deserves to gloat (although he wouldn't) after all he's been through, it's Al Gore. He's been swift-boated ten times more than Kerry.

[Forkboy]

65. Arrrrghhhh....forced to agree with a Canadiens fan!

:banghead:

:)

[getmeouttahere]

68. It's ok, Forkboy, you'll live....

after all, we're in between hockey seasons. However, next year at this time I predict that you will be congratulating me as my team has just won the Cup :)

[racaulk]

50. OMG, that's absolutely brilliant!!!

I love it! :thumbsup:

[tbyg52]

52. Get yourself on the other side of that line, Al! nt

[emmadoggy]

57. I remember it and still love it.

B-)

[Mister Ed]

59. The appeal for me is in the notion that a candidate could win without heavy campaigning...

...and without having to spend eighteen months courting corporate special interest money.

What a wonderful world it would be if that came to pass.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

60. Look Folks!! Modern Design!!
