Anyone think Gore and Kerry should address the nation on January 19th

[AllentownJake]

and just say. Hey America, next time you are told there is no difference between the two parties and the media tells you, you should vote for the guy you want to have a beer with remember the last 8 years. This didn't have to happen.

[mkultra]

1. nah! (nt)

[saltpoint]

2. If either or both addressed the nation then or at any time I would lend them

rapt ears.

[rurallib]

3. MLK day.

[jwirr]

4. Nothing stopping us from saying that in editorials in our newspapers. nt

[YvonneCa]

5. I sure wish they would. But no...not happening. n/t

[roguevalley]

6. January 19 is my birthday. Lucky me. SIGH! This is all so hard

isn't it?

[FrenchieCat]

7. January 19th is MLK's birthday.

I think the rallying cry there is....."we have a dream!"

[AllentownJake]

8. I'm sure Bush is going to give a farewell address

I hope he doesn't do it on MLK day

[FrenchieCat]

9. I kind hope he does.....

as that is my dream....his farewell address.

10. Why steal the President-elect's thunder......

tyhey can talk all they want after President Obama has his day.

[rvablue]

14. I don't think a Shrub speech could steal thunder from anyone.....let him speak

I doubt anyone, even the dead-ender 20%ers will be listening.

22. I don't think the poster is referring to Bush but the OP original suggestion

re: Gore and Kerry.

[political_Dem]

11. Considering how the first Bush 43 Inaugural parade went (with tomatoes and eggs),

I think that * should just have enough humility to leave Washington quietly and depart for the netherworld so that he won't be seen again.

12. they don't need to, the November results show that many people learned

[karynnj]

13. No, It would be terrible the day before Obama's day

I doubt either of these two principled, moral men would consider doing that because it would be tacky. I think many Bush voters do regret their votes. Both of them have already shown that their response to the way both were mistreated by the media and some powers was to continue what both did all their lives - fight for the values that they believe in to the core of their beings.

The fact is that I would bet the vast majority of people if they could actually meet Bush, Kerry and Gore would have chosen either Democrat if they needed help in an emergency, needed an answer to a question (where the wrong answer would have consequences) .. and to have a beer with. The problem was that the media painted a pleasant picture of a man they knew had been a mean drunk a decade before when his father was President and a very distorted picture of both Kerry and Gore.

15. Totally agee with you and a big part of the smearing was done by Chris Matthews

and now there are DUers lauding him as a great pick for the Penn. Democratic nomination for Senate.

I guess some memories are short. Tweety repeated every RW lie about Gore ad hominem.

:puke:

[karynnj]

18. True, he was horrible to Gore

positively schizophrenic with Kerry (though more often bad than good - all the while saying they were friends - which only made the negative comments worse) and he was seriously enamored with Bush.

This year he was awful to Hillary Clinton at times - many times - and this is said by someone who was not sympathetic to her.

[ogneopasno]

16. No.

[AnnieBW]

19. Like the LOL I made yesterday...

20. LOL....Al did tell us Bush was an idiot a long time ago didn't he?

And right now a "lock box" is not such a wacko idea.

[book_worm]

21. well they might want to and we might want them to, but I doubt any network would give time for a

speech like that. But attention will be totally on Obama on 1/19 with his pre-inagural gala, etc.
