1. he has MY vote

[imaginary girl]

2. AMEN to that !!!

[Peggy Day]

3. me too!

[lvx35]

4. lets draft this guy!

[MercutioATC]

9. I don't think he's interested...

...at least that's what he's said a few dozen times...

:eyes:

[lvx35]

11. A "recovering politician", right?

Isn't that we he called himself? What a riot. Its too bad. But if he did run, to be good, he'd have to stay as open and honest as he is now...And that seems to be tough for all politicians, they seem to get very contrived as soon as they step into office.

[Speck Tater]

5. I want that on a bumper sticker! (nt)

[Borgnine]

6. Gore would be our most viable candidate.

There are four reasons:

1. He's an actual, honest-to-God progressive who gives more than two shits about progressive issues.

2. Name value. Seriously, he's probably the only big name Democrat that hasn't been terribly tainted by the Republican smear machine, and the best thing is, they already used up their ammunition on him in 2000. Would the liar lie really fly again? More importantly, would we let it?

There's no way Hillary would win the general election. I'm sorry, but she's the right-wing's most hated figure, and even many Democrats see her as someone who doesn't hold true to our ideals. Gore, on the other hand?

3. He represents lost oppurtunity. If Bush hadn't been installed in 2000, can you imagine how better off EVERYTHING would be? Three years from now, people will be even more weary of this criminal misadministration and will be looking to turn back the tide.

4. He's learned from his mistakes. I don't think he'd allow himself to be handled like he was in 2000. That experience put to death the old, stiffer version of Gore and from the ashes rose Phoenix Gore - firey, passionate, and a captivating public speaker.

Don't forget that Gore didn't just automatically cave in with the Florida fiasco either. He fought for over a month, which seems all the more incredible today after Kerry's measily 12-hour fight. If any single candidate, barring someone like Conyers, would be willing to fight to stop election theft, and fight to stop it before it happens, then I think it would be Gore.

In the end, he's simply a strong candidate all around, and he also works well with any number of VP choices (in my mind, Gore/Clark would be the best ticket).

[wakemewhenitsover]

16. Agreed. Americans would be captivated. Lost opportunity indeed.

[AntiCoup2K4]

7. Gore is a solid choice for 2008, but could we drop it for now, please?

Draft Gore? Absolutely.... some time around July 2007 would be great.

Until then we need to concentrate more on the following....

1) Electro fraud voting

2) Getting rid of the DLC

3) Waking up the people to the total complete failure of the Bush Criminal Empire and this sickening neocon agenda.

4) Having a plan of our own, to be presented by our 2006 congressional candidates. Contract For America comparisons are valid, though ours would actually be FOR America

5) Whatever changes we can get in the media would be welcome. I believe Air America is helping. I believe the whores temporarily being human in the face of the Katrina carnage helped bring the reality of that nightmare home, the way that they have refused to bring home the reality of Iraq. That temporary adjustment was a great reminder of what the media used to be in this country. Too bad it didn't last.

13. I disagree...

I think it might be a good thing to try to get one or two guys supported early and out in front of the public. Think about it. Gore, Clark or even Edwards are not currently in office and are free to be just guys who are talking about how things are going. They can start framing a campaign NOW. The thing about Republicans is that they are ALWAYS campaigning. Always. Maybe we should do some of that. It doesn't mean we can't tackle the problems you listed, just that we could start laying track for '08, also.

8. Doesn't mocking Al Gore for wanting a Social Security lock-box...

...seem ludicrous now?

[drummo]

39. It does.

And those who mocked him are ridiculous themselves.

[Xenotime]

10. We should start a petition to get him into power.

[AJH032]

12. Al Gore, co-founder of DLC

just like to remind all you anti-DLCers about that.

[Gloria]

21. For the record: the current DLC is not the original DLC....

it has altered considerably....

[AJH032]

32. true, but

would the current DLC exist if not for the original?

[wakemewhenitsover]

34. Why such animosity toward the DLC?

[DarkTirade]

38. That's a silly way to look at it.

The organization you have a problem with may have evolved eventually from the organization that Gore started, but they are not the same creature.
That's like hating the dinosaurs because you don't like horses.

[Time for change]

41. Or more to the point, it's like blaming Lincoln

for what today's Republican party has become.

[AzDar]

14. Anyone remember Al's TRIUMPHANT appearance on SNL??

Must've been 2003...Anyhoo, he was masterful; witty, charming..very personable. When the show was over, I crowed to my hubby "whoo-hoo, that's Bush's death knell we've just witnessed."
Then, (irrc),the following Monday, he announced he wouldn't be seeking the nomination in 2004.
I was STUNNED. Didn't get out of bed for 3 days.
I want my Al Gore back.

[wakemewhenitsover]

15. Gore is a man of conscience. Perhaps thinking about how many lives...

...he would have saved during Hurricane Katrina, if he were President, will make the crucial difference, and motivate him to run again.

It's mind-boggling to think how much this one man would have changed history, especially if you read his speech -- could he have prevented 9/11, as Bill Clinton prevented 1/00 from being a day that lived in infamy, by simply doing the job he was elected to do?

If Al Gore does not intend to run again, why not tackle the issue of election fraud? The movement to restore democratic elections to the United States of America needs a spokesperson.

31. Whoa, what'd I miss?

[Robeson]

35. Typical freeper troll....

...came totally out of the closet on several threads. Did the usual yadda, yadda, yadda, about how Ray-gun and Bush were the greatest Presidents ever, we're all tree-huggers, and that he's tired of our tax dollars going to help people on welfare. He was a total RW moonie, and I felt like taking a bath after posting to his rants. Same old, same old.

[wakemewhenitsover]

36. Wish our tax dollars WERE going to people who really need help...

[Robeson]

37. No shit. If only they were....

[EndElectoral]

18. Good slogan...boy how different would America be now...

[Robeson]

24. I'm all for it.

[GrantDem]

30. The title says it all...

[The Doctor.]

33. The mention of insurance companies was no mistake.

There is a major war brewing (if not already frothing) between large industrial interests and insurance companies.

-And now those 'industrial interests' are in the government. There is no doubt that if you find the people in the insurance industry with the most to lose from domestic disasters, many government officials would be face indictement for their negligence or complicity.

I wonder if that one company that insured the WTC has asked any questions? ...or perhaps the company that insured the insurer...

Either way, at the end of the chain, someone lost out big time due to incompetence or worse.

The insurance companies could become this administration's biggest enemy.

[Uncle Joe]

40. Simply the best ,and to think

that he was trashed by the corpwhorate owned MSM simply because he empowered us when he championed the internet.

[joeprogressive]

42. The Gore Slogan

Vote Gore to see what you missed out on
