I read these last threads - let me see if I got this right -
I am supposed to believe that - because Reuters says so - that Gore really won't run.

Is that right???

I would recomend reviewing just how accurate Reuters has been in the war reporting before I bought that one.

I like General Clark, I really do. I think he has one of the best military minds the country has produced in a hundred years.

And I will vote for Gore for president, too.

The country has a strange chance to set history right now. And I think the General has a very necessary place waiting for him as SOD.

He will make a great difference there. I think that is where he is really needed now.

And I trust Gore - maybe now more than in 2000.

He will run if he is needed - and he IS needed.

And he will win. He did once before, you know.

Joe

1. Did you listen to the tape ?
I listened to the tape that Raw Story has up. It does not match their headline.

3. Image what Gore could accomplish...
...beyond ending and fixing the little turd from Crawford's war.

Just the planet's environment, the nation's welfare and individual liberty are at stake.

Great post, Joe for Clark. I'm with you 100-percent. And if Gore doesn't run and Gen. Clark does, I'm with you 100-percent.

18. No he isn't
Look I love what he's doing, and if he runs he's got my vote in his pocket but compared to what a PRESIDENT can do, what he's doing now is just nothing.

As president he could change the world. As of right now what he is doing has not affected US policy one iota. And when you are talking about the environment, if you don't change what the US does you are just whistling Dixie.

23. I find that incredibly offensive.
I don't think you really have a clue what he's done or what he's doing, otherwise you would not make the claim you did.

Don't blame the fact that George Bush is the President and not doing shit all on global warming on Gore.

I'm sorry, but you seemingly have no clue. What he's done for global warming awareness and for inciting action in the USA and especially outside the USA is nothing short of incredible.

4. He will do it for his grandchildren.
Unlike the Bushes, he actually loves his children, and wants to leave them a planet to live on.

8. Gore is a very smart man - decent man -
He'll run. IF we want him to - and he will win.

I am so tired of idiots running our country. Especially ones that should never have been there in the first place.

Reuters can go screw themselves. They have no more credibility to me than "W" - they abdicated their credibility some time ago.

The US is an interesting country - at the end of the day, we do rise in a populist kind of way.

Makes us great, too.

Joe

7. I'm with you about Gore now is even more to be trusted. I would like him to run
because he is among the top three I trust more than other Dems. Obviously, Kerry and Clark are my other two.

24. My top three as well.
They are the security candidates. They are deep thinkers and compassionate. They are complex. Hey, they're also vets!......

and sadly, we are at war.

9. I hope so

I hope he will run and I do agree with you.

I also trust Gore more now than I did in 2000.


Cheers

11. Yeah, I know he will run
I know he is needed and I know that he understands the moral imperative. He won't shirk his duty. He's no Shrub.

12. It is funny, cause I think many of us here know it , deep inside-
and I don't know if he does yet or or not.

No matter.

He'll do the right thing - I have no doubt at all.

And I think about 3 million+ people here will ask him to do the right thing too -

He should have been president in 2000 - if he was, thousands now dead would be alive now.

So, the country now gets a chance to correct a tragic mistake.

I have no doubt at all he will do the right thing. I think we have all had enough of Bushs and Clintons for a while. I want to hear what the man from Tennessee says.

You are certainly right - he will not shirk his duty. And he will win!!!

Joe

13. Yeah
I figured that out when I watched his movie. Not because it was an advertisement for him. It wasn't but it showed what he is made of and that he has a deep soul. I knew that that movie would disturb me and it did but I had no idea it would give me such peace as well. Before I saw it, I was on pins and needles wanting him to run (and wanting him to be the firebrand he had become after the 2000 debacle) and I just ached with worry. After the movie, no more worry. I'm just waiting, comfortably waiting. I'm certainly doing all the necessary things so that he will know that I and so many others are out here ready to be his army but I'm not worried anymore.

21. I think his early endorsement of Dean and ignoring of Lieberman
in the last primary sort of is an acknowledgement of a 'rethinking' per Lieberman. That was rather controversial at the time.

22. I don't think he's ever come right out and said it directly
Edited on Tue Jan-16-07 08:20 AM by DoYouEverWonder
but I remember seeing something where they asked him about Lieberman and his response was not positive.

17. I hope Gore runs...
Until he comes out himself and says he is not running I will keep my hopes up. BTW: GORE/CLARK sounds like a nice ticket doesn't it?

With clinton/Gore it was Arkansas/Tennessee now we can have a Tennessee/Arskansas ticket for '08. :-)

19. That would be a serious Gravitas ticket.
Wonder how many reporters who used the gravitas question (as a softball) to then gov bush - have kicked themselves black and blue in the past six years.
