If Gore endorsed your canidate....Admit it, you would have loved it!

[trumad]

So please enough of these posts dissing Gore for his endorsement of Dean. Believe me...if he would have endorsed Kerry, the Kerry folks would have been delighted...same goes for Edwards, Clark, etc.

Too the folks on DU who constantly bash Gore ... Do you ever hear Gore speak, do you ever watch his brillant speeches that rip George Bush apart? Gore is a wonderful Democrat and a strong voice against 43's regime!

[corporatewhore]

1. Admit it if Chomsky agreed to endorse your cannidate you would have loved

it

10. Chomsky Should Draw In The Pol Pot Fan Club Vote

[corporatewhore]

21. wtf?

[JohnKleeb]

22. Slam on Chomskyites I suppose CW

Ive never read him but I have read Howard Zinn who we also have. Yes I still support Kucinich, I am also for Kerry. I can have two candiates can't I. I need to read Chomsky.

[corporatewhore]

25. didnt recognize you kleeb

was getting confused with dk your motivation ;)

[JohnKleeb]

29. I like JK and DK both CW

Good guys. Yeah I miss my DK avatar but I wanna do some work for Kerry and DK both and ya know, I feel good doing it, supporting both. Thanks for being cool with it and your sig line remains true, DK still is god :). I hope he does nice in NH.

30. Chomsky Has His Preexisting Formulaic View Of World Affairs

which he shoves facts into.

He sees America as an Evil Abomination of Imperialism and, therefore, anyone whom "resists" us or our influence is Good and Just.

He is an apologist for Pol Pot for instance.

This is a gross simplification of Chomsky but he is so verbose and obtuse that you should search out the Cliffs Notes Version before committing to reading him whole.

[JVS]

23. I think his comment means that Chomsky is too far left

[Feanorcurufinwe]

2. Of course

and Gore has made some good speeches lately, but I still wish he had been more like that during his campaign. And the Gore who served as vp almost seems like a completely different person from the Gore who wrote Earth in the Balance.

[trumad]

5. Gore's speeches were fine in his campaign

Good enough to win by 500 thousand votes after being down by 15 points.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

34. I don't want to be drawn into attacking Gore

I voted for him and volunteered on his campaign.

[wyldwolf]

4. If Madonna endorsed your canidate....Admit it, you would have loved it!

because... she's so cool.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

6. I Admit It

I would have loved it.

DTH

17. President Gore did the right thing by endorsing Dean when he did

By doing so he got the other candidates to be more vocal about Bush and his policies. At the time most of the major candidate appeared to be afraid tO say very much about our appointed president. Rather Dean wins or not I appreciate him for speaking out from the beginning on Bush and getting Democrats energized. BY THE WAY, GORE DID JUST FINE WHEN HE RAN IN 2000. AFTER ALL HE DID WIN. HE JUST HAD THE ELECTION STOLEN FROM HIM. SO ANYONE WANTING TO COMPLAIN THAT GORE DIDN'T RUN A GOOD CAMPAIGN IN 2000 OR IT WAS NADER'S FAULT, PLEASE PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONG AND THAT IS WITH THE CROOKS OCCUPING THE WHITEHOUSE NOW!!!!!
RE-ELECT A DEMOCRAT IN 2004!!!!

[Frederic Bastiat]

7. Gore's condescending endorsment put me off

By telling us to fall back "in line" arrrghhh, and then a few Dean fans jumped in and declared the Democratic Primaries irrelevant.

[trumad]

8. Yes..but if he endorsed your canidate would it have upset you?

[meow mix]

9. gore will end up endorsing clark

for the GE,
so its ok..

and maybe he'll even endorse edwards and kerry before that =)

[Jerseycoa]

19. HAHAHA

Al Gore's going to endorse everybody!

[corporatewhore]

11. Why didnt thenew improved and liberal passionate Gore

run in 2000? I like him better now.

[deminflorida]

12. Rather be endorsed by Bad-Luck Sleprock from the Flintstones..

wowsee wow wow.......

Why don't you ask Dean how he liked it....

I hear HBO maybe making a place for him when their special series 'Carnival' returns.

[trumad]

16. Gee...You'd think Wes could use all the help he could get.

You Clark supporters are starting to sound like Dean Supporters... Don't get to cocky...

[Mz Pip]

13. I have a problem

with early endorsements, particularly from high profile people and organizations that occur early on.

Honestly, I would have been uncomfortable with the endorsement only because it occurred so early in the process.

Give the people a chance to have a voice before trying to influence the outcome.

And I say this to every high profile person who endorsed Wes Clark as well.

27. So I guess an old Politico like McGovern jumped the gun?

33. Buy I too am a Clarkie

I just thought I'd spend the day sticking up for Dean.

[sangha]

20. Ok, I admit it.

:shrug:

[metisnation]

24. NOT LIKE GORE IMPOSSIBLE!

I like Dean and will vote for him if he makes it out of the primary and in the GE. How frickin dare anyone criticize Al Gore Just like Clark and Kerry are patriots!!! Not scumbag awol cokehead GW & Cheneys ticker is probably bad for doing too much in the 70's. Meanwhile Al, John and Wes were all walking the walk time to get fierce with your politics dems lets march these chickens out of TOWN!

26. I didn't bash him for endorsing Dean

I never have, you can check all my posts to see if I have if you like.

The only issue I had with Gore's endorsement was not the WHO but the WHEN. I felt that he endorsed too early, before ANY actual votes were cast. If I were him, I would have been putting around rumours of an endorsement to get the other candidates to pander to me, but I wouldn't have endorsed up until the day before Super Tuesday. That way I would have a good chunk of political capital to speak of and it would be able to effectively influence the coming elections, and thus keep my ability to influence the party.

At least, that is how I would have done it.
