Gore deserves it


Poll indicates he can take out Clinton.

But if Mr Gore were to seek the Democratic nomination, 29% of Ms Clinton's backers would switch their support to him, the poll found. When defections from other candidates are factored in, the man who controversially lost to Mr Bush in the 2000 election takes command of the field, with 32% support.

How is this possible?  Could it be because Al stopped playing "politics as usual" and started playing himself?  Could it be because there is something called karma drawing him back to that which was his calling from the beginning? Could it be because he is "all grown up now" after having life deal him a bad hand?  Could it be because the people of the USA now realize what a terrible mistake the Supreme Court made installing a President into office?

But why should he run?

Gore should run because of accountability.  As David Michael Green says:

The solution to all this begins with accountability. So much of what passes for politics in America today is only possible because of the style of our discourse, and because of the absence of sustained questioning of members of our political class. George W. Bush had to avoid at all costs any meeting with Cindy Sheehan, let alone a public one, for the simple reason that he knew she would not be deterred from asking the difficult, probing and sustained questions that would immediately expose the lies surrounding his Iraq adventure. The media is equally capable of asking these questions, but refuses any sort of serious grilling of presidents or members of Congress (unless, of course, they’re Democrats). We need to reinvent the rituals of American politics so that candidates and officeholders will not get our votes unless they can defend their ideas against prolonged critical inquiry, and we need to demand with our remote controls that our media provide us with that. 

Al, please help us stop the assault on reason.  Please let us give you back your votes.

  1. I disagree with you. Gore should stay out of the race for the White House. I also think if Clinton wins the Demo platform, she will lose.

    While it’s time a woman was elected to the White House, it sure isn’t Clinton’s place to be the one as she has too much baggage with her. This country cannot handle 12 years of Bush and 16 of Clinton.

    Ask yourself what have either of them done for the average American? IMO, not much, if anything.

    Only one candidate has experience in foreign affairs, working the gov’t, and being a governor of a state. Can we, the American people stand another person that doesn’t have experience in foreign affairs.

    This war on terror is not going to go away anytime soon, in fact it may get worse before it gets better. We need allies in this fight, and we know the present administration has lost a lot of our allies due to his limited abilities when dealing with other people.

    The American people also do not need another bunch of criminals in the White House either. Be very careful of who you vote for.

  2. I hear you Allen. And I agree about Clinton. Even though she may make a great leader, my concern is that “when push comes to shove”, she will not be able to overcome the inevitable and vicious mainstream media assault that will be waged against her. And I don’t think it is healthy for the country to have two families run things for 32 years (Bush 41 ran Reagan’s 2nd term and assuming Hilary gets reelected).

    The war on terror is mostly made up propaganda. There have always been bad people in the world and there always will be. It doesn’t justify attacking people without cause and stripping us of our civil liberties. Just like the war on drugs, it is poppycock.

    Gore had 8 years of VP experience and that imo qualifies him in the foreign policy arena. He also seems to have grown since losing, oops I mean winning his election. I didn’t like him much when I voted for him in 2000.

    As to what Gore has done for us, how about hopefully save us from environmental disaster the likes of which we cannot even fully comprehend.
