FROM CNN: Al Gore has landed a plane in LA

[Greylyn58]

and is taking about 100 of the most critically ill back to TN hospitals for help.

YOU ROCK AL!!!!!

[BootinUp]

1. wow.

Good news.

[rodeodance]

4. glad to see they are letting private citizens come in. I was afraid it was

all military.

[Stephanie]

2. I was wondering why George Bush didn't do this yesterday

Wasting that huge plane on himself while people are dying.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

3. Now THAT is a compassionate gesture.

:patriot:

[laylah]

5. That's my prez

for ya :woohoo:

Jenn

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

51. lol! I didn't even see your response! He's my prez too!!! eom

[oldtime dfl_er]

6. My president!

Al rocks!

[Art_from_Ark]

10. Re-elect Al Gore in 2008!

:woohoo:

[Greylyn58]

20. I wish he would run again

I was kinda hoping for it in 2004, but if he said today he was going to run, I would volunteer in a second.

AL -- :yourock: This is how a real President acts.

[LeinesRed]

7. But...is he helping Trent Lott out? n/t

[Bumblebee]

9. No porch swing for him!

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. LOL

ZING!

[Spazito]

8. Whoa, that's going to piss off Rove royally!

He is in the process of setting up another photo-op for bush to happen on Monday, Gore actually doing something to help isn't factored into Rove's plans.

[Im with Rosey]

67. He isn't doing it for a fake

photo-op!

[Catherine Vincent]

11. What a man!

What could have been.:(

[MoonRiver]

18. And what wouldn't have been.

:cry:

[Neecy]

12. good to see a Dem take charge!

Didn't Louisiana go for Clinton/Gore in both '92 and '96?

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. THAT'S how a REAL PRESIDENT reacts to disasters!

WTG, Gore! :yourock:

That will get MINIMAL Corporate MSM play. We can't show Gore looking better than the piece of shit idiot, can we? In fact, when the reporter gave that report...NOTHING else was said about it...NOTHING!

I expected SOME KIND of reaction like, "Wow, Al Gore is removing 100 sick people?" Instead it was ignored. :grr:

[bushisanidiot]

52. Exactly! They mention it casually as if it's no big deal..

president gore is actually putting his money where is mouth is.. not that we'd ever hear what he's saying because the media continues to ignore him and in order to follow that fuck-up bushboy instead..

[Mikimouse]

14. Gore is now, and always was a good guy...

Kudos to him!

[Rose Siding]

16. Holy Mo, can you imagine the scene if they'd tried to stop him?

Others have been refused or turned back. I WANT to hear THAT conversation.

"You call the president. Ask him if he really wants this pr nightmare. oh, and remind him I got more votes than he did *before* he abandoned New Orleans"

[Bumblebee]

21. Rove is probably cursing right now. It could have been quite a PR

stunt for them if they had pre-arranged something with a DC hospital and used Air Force One for that yesterday. Maybe they even thought of that but decided that our sensitive boy cannot be in the same space even for an hour with all these suffering people. Too much reality for his frayed nerves.

[Greylyn58]

37. You are right about that...

Bubbleboy can't take too much reality. Wouldn't want to burst that bubble now would we!!

[madmax]

66. My thoughts exactly

but, somethings can only come from the heart. They have none.

[jbnow]

60. They did stop him yesterday

with two planes...supplies to come in and then taking people out. If it's not linked further down I will try to find it.

[mzmolly]

17. Awesome!

Thank you President GORE!

[bee]

19. Gore / Clark '08. period. n/t

[progressivebydesign]

44. Where would we be if had not been cheated in 2000? n/t

[lukasahero]

45. I'm going to have lovely dreams tonight thanks to you. :-) eom

[dogday]

22. John Travolta

has a few planes including a 747. Imagine how many he can get...

[blogslut]

23. right on Al

I voted for Clinton because of Gore.

[Jawja]

29. Me, too in '92

and in '96 voted for Clinton because of Clinton!

:hi:

[lateo]

24. Booooooya!

Hell yes...

[Swamp Rat]

25. Al Gore is my President n/t

[Greylyn58]

26. My President too!!!

He Rocks!!!

[Swamp Rat]

32. AMEN brother! Shout it from the rooftops!!! WE NEED LEADERSHIP!!!

My people, my city is dying... live on MSM. :cry:

[JaneQPublic]

27. Think how many people on the planet would still be alive today...

...if he wasn't cheated out of the presidency in 2000.

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. Think of many people period would be alive today if he wasn't

cheated out his presidency.

[OhioChick]

30. Refreshing News to Hear! n/t

[McCamy Taylor]

31. Thank you, Al!

[nickgutierrez]

33. Now that's what I call "stepping up to the plate".

Awesome. :)

[Midlodemocrat]

34. Al Gore!

You rock. You are my President.

What a great guy.

[earth mom]

35. Al Gore is a hero!

:cry:

[Greeby]

36. Al Gore is my President

If someone put that on a t-shirt and sold it now, they'd be rich

[xxqqqzme]

38. just talked 2 a friend in TN

they R seeing ambulances lined up on the tarmac, in Nashville, waiting 2 transport the patients when the plane lands.

[elcondor]

40. Crying tears of joy

Thanks for the report!

[Greylyn58]

54. Thanks for sharing that

this is such a incredible story and I wish CNN would have made more than just a passing comment when they reported it.

Been watching CNN and they haven't repeated the story.

[drummo]

86. Man, who organized this whole stuff?

Gore?

[Greylyn58]

89. What I have read on other threads

is he paid for planes from his own pockets and flew them down to the NO airport and took the most critically ill back with him to hospitals in TN.

Al Gore Rocks!!!

[leesa]

39. There's our REAL President.

Bless his heart.

[flyarm]

41. my president...thank you A l !!!

thank you thank you!!

[journalist3072]

42. Guess what that's called, ladies and gentlemen?

LEADERSHIP!!!!!!!!

LEADERSHIP!!!!!

George W. Bush: take heed.

[SammyWinstonJack]

43. Yep! It takes a REAL MAN to get the job done!

Hear that george?

[journalist3072]

47. Does George hear anything at all?!

[SammyWinstonJack]

55. Only what he wants to hear. nt

[liveoaktx]

46. Contrast with Bush-while he was in LA yesterday, helicopters were

grounded and he sure didn't take any people out with him. Helicopters only used for photo ops.

[progressivebydesign]

48. I love that man. What an amazing thing for him to do. n/t

[Melodybe]

49. Gore/Clark 2008 I ticket I would be proud of.

[stlsaxman]

53. or Gore/Gibson '08-

Jabbar Gibson, that is.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

50. That is My President for you! I LOVE Al!!!! nt

[NoBushSpokenHere]

56. with tears in my eyes, now that is MY President - WTG AL nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

61. Now you're making me cry. Boy did the Supreme Court screw us but

good.

[dchill]

57. Our last actual, provably elected president.

Unfortunately, God chose W. I wonder if we, as a country, even deserve this guy...

[NoBushSpokenHere]

58. Actually not the last provable.....we have evidence of fraud 04

Keep your eyes on the Election Reform Forum......and once we are through this tragedy, please help with "the 04 Truth Surfacing" and help to decertify DRE's.

[dchill]

63. I am thoroughly aware...

Of the ER&D forum (Long live TIA). IMO, it has been proven that Gore won in 2000, but thanks to no-paper-trail voting machines and other nefarious Repugly tactics (crimes), it has not yet been proven that Kerry won.

Not that I don't believe he won - I do. I think he won by millions of votes that were "disappeared" sometime after midnight on Nov. 2.

[Jack Rabbit]

59. It's good to see that the President is on the job

!!

[OneBlueSky]

62. what a novel concept . . . a politician actually DOING something . . .

to help . . . my respect for Al Gore just jumped a notch or two . . . politicians holding press conferences and doing photo ops should be ashamed . . .

[mountainvue]

64. Does anyone have a link? n/t

[TankLV]

65. Way to go Mr. PRESIDENT!

There were a couple threads recently that asked who you wanted for 2008 and I said it was too early.

No more.

I want Gore in 08. Re-Elect Gore in 08!

Nixon came back 8 years later from disgrace. Gore has been nothing but honerable. I don't see why he couldn't win it all - again!

Maybe he's learned and has a HUNGER this time around!

[Autonomy]

68. I realized Gore already WAS the president

as far back as December, 2000. By that, I mean he had the style and class of a true leader, and he's only gotten better since.

[frictionlessO]

69. Best damn news I've heard all week! Now thats an American!!

I wish the other politicos and their quislings would do something so noble.

[satya]

70. That's my guy! Do you have a link I can send to my RW "friends"? nt

[Desertrose]

71. Always did love ya Al!

No frikkin photo op...just real action.

Thank you President Gore!!!

[Libby2]

72. I just saw a shot of them unloading them in Nashville

damn even our local channels aren't carrying the coverage of this, stinking sports are on.

[Z_I_Peevey]

73. I knew he'd come through.

And he did this without a gaggle of press, a Potemkin village and a news conference about sitting on Trent Lott's porch? Wow.

[Greylyn58]

74. That's a real man...just helping his fellow Americans

without a gaggle of press camera's following him around photo opting his every move.

AL GORE ROCKS!!!

[drfresh]

75. We salute you Al!

[Guaranteed]

76. What a beautiful man. KICK!!!!! nt

[MissWaverly]

77. God bless our last elected president

too bad there was a coup and he was robbed of the presidency
by Bush oil.

[Greylyn58]

78. If only he was in the WH right now

think of how all this would have played out?

:thumbsup:

[MissWaverly]

82. Amen

If only the Congress would get its head out of the gopher hole, all they
have to say is that the Supreme Court's intervention in 2000 was unconstitutional and hold the recount. Surely even they must realize
that Bush is an albatross around the neck of our nation. Even the
business community realizes that he is incompetent and is dragging this
nation down (including their profits).

[goforit]

79. Hats off to you Gore!!

[LittleClarkie]

80. God bless President Gore!!

And let me tell you, sports fans. Even though I'm a Kerrycrat, Gore for President would be damn fine for me.

I love what he's done with himself since the election. I think it freed him.

This makes me feel ten times better than Bush's fake photo op last night.

God bless that man. He's doing something.

[roguevalley]

85. me too. I love that man. He had to arrange planes and financing,

arrange pick up places and such with the people handling the sick and arrange for hospitals to take them. He is the president and I love him. God bless America and the people who really love her.

[suffragette]

81. Thank you, President Gore

for demonstrating what true leadership and compassion is.

[AlGore-08.com]

83. Kicking it up for Real President Gore
