Al Gore To Announce Presidential Run In September

[Parche]

Trust me :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MrCoffee]

1. this is exactly the kind of disrespect that i will not tolerate

[hyphenate]

2. huh?

Did I miss something? :shrug:

[LittleClarkie]

4. What ARE you talking about dear?

Lost me.

[MrCoffee]

8. lounge humor.

[LittleClarkie]

49. Ah, I don't go to the lounge much

But I guess you probably guessed that.

[Raine]

10. "Disrespect"??? Never mind

:shrug: I must have missed something. :-(
EDIT: I saw your reply after I posted. :-)

[Bluebear]

16. Yes, the disrespect is stunning!!! Oh wait, what are you talking about?

[Harper_is_Bush]

22. Agreed. It's incredibly disrespectful to both Al Gore and DU. n/t

[Parche]

30. blah blah blah blah blah

:grr:

[Harper_is_Bush]

31. Instead of childish taunting maybe you should exercise a little humility and ask yourself why...

...some see your post as disrespectful.

[RestoreGore]

56. Par for the course here

His passion and work to help inspire people to wake up to the climate crisis which this week we are seeing making itself known globally really means nothing to them. So of course, they would not understand why playing these BS games is disrespectful to him.

[Parche]

57. Some?

'Some' are not important :bounce:

[iamthebandfanman]

3. oh let it be so! let it be so! n/t

[MaineProgressive]

5. You're correct. n/t

I dont bite 'little' things :grr: :grr: :grr:

[ccpup]

24. oh, no you d'int!

:rofl: :spray:

[NoodleBoy]

7. so... where's your proof? has he hired any campaign staff? rented field offices? reserved domain

names? have high-level staffers who once worked for Gore mysteriously resigned and went to work for a Gore-associated PAC? have any said PACs recently reactivated?

[CTyankee]

32. I've been saying this, to no avail, for a while now.

Gore knows what it takes to mount a presidential campaign, just as you have said. I would faint if Gore decided all of a sudden at this late date to just tell the world "Hi there. I'm running!"

Mon Dieu, mes amis!

[NoodleBoy]

34. yeah, alot of people don't realize the massive planning that goes into any campaign,

let alone for President.

Waiting until the Fall of the year before the election is what torpedo'd political newcomer Wes Clark last time around, Gore sure as hell wouldn't make the same mistake after 20+ years in the game.

[AndreaCG]

37. You can see how much I love Wes Clark but there's no comparison

Between his late entry in 2004 and Gore doing so this year. EVERYBODY knows who Gore is, many of them know he was cheated out of the presidency and quite a few who voted for Bush regret that vote tremendously.

Plus Live Earth will get the youth of America out campaigning for him.

[NoodleBoy]

40. my point was more about staff and volunteers

this late in the race, many donors, precinct captains, local elected officials, and field staff are committed to the major candidates--meaning, they wouldn't sign on to an Al Gore exploratory committee staff that might lead to Gore completely and totally ruling out a run. Candidates need the people before they announce.

[CTyankee]

51. Exactly. And Gore knows this better than anyone. As for volunteers,

they are great but they need to be recruited, managed, directed, given resources they need and oversight. This can only be done by paid staff, accountable to the campaign for getting things done. Volunteers come and go, their lives change. Until recently, I was a manager for our local Literacy Volunteers. I was paid staff, albeit part time, and I know what happens in volunteer situations.

[hyphenate]

9. I would like to see it happen

And most Democrats would also like that. But I think, like Bill Clinton and John Kerry, Al is probably more in control not being in the white house. And I hope that would mean that he could stay a private citizen in order to keep going after the illegal administration we all know and hate.

[tridim]

11. It seems pretty obvious to me. nt

[MrSlayer]

12. I'll believe it when I see it.

And if I see I'll be happy as hell.

[malaise]

13. Hillary took a snipe at him over the weekend

and I wondered what she knew. Run Al Run!

[earthlover]

38. I thought of that too...here we have the spectacle of a supposedly confident front funner....

lashing out at a challenger, which was embarrassing enough...but now she attacks someone who isn't even running? Come on....she at least is afraid he will run. Why else take a dig at a good Democrat who is trying to save the world?

Either she thinks he may run, or she is really a mean, petty duck.

[malaise]

46. It was funny

I love those little extras -she's not confident about Gore. She thinks he's running.

[JTG of the PRB]

14. Wow. Lots of sniping over a hopeful opinion/bank of knowledge from one person.

No wonder this place seems insane lately. The inmates are all flinging pudding at one another again.

[hootinholler]

59. That doesn't smell like pudding to me.

:evilgrin:

-Hoot

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Why aren't these posts prefaced with "I believe"?

:eyes:

[Ishoutandscream2]

18. I have to say I'm losing hope

I'm almost ready to commit to a candidate. The roller coaster ride of "will he or won't he" is starting to wear me down.

[SallyMander]

44. I'm totally with you...

I've had my hopes up for so long -- it's hard to keep the faith! We'll all know in the next few months i guess...

[viat0r]

19. Id vote for him

He will ge the votes of all the people that SHOULD have voted for him the first time. Instead of the sympathy vote we will have the APOLOGY vote lol

[HeeBGBz]

20. I trust no one

But that would be okee day by me. He is the only one I could whole-heartedly support with enthusiasm and dare I say...hope?

[Buck Rabbit]

21. If you're wrong what will you give us?

I could use a new Prius.

Hmmm new car ... Dem in Whitehouse ... new car or Dem in Whitehouse ... tough choice .... nah

I hope you are right.

[Parche]

23. BJ

:bounce: :bounce: :hi:

[Buck Rabbit]

26. Hmmm, that wasn't what I was expecting so I hope you're right about Al.

But I do give you credit for really raising the stakes, so to speak.

[MonkeyFunk]

25. it's really stupid

to use this headline.

[Parche]

27. SHOCK THE MONKEY

I like you too.....:bounce: :bounce: :hi:

[melody]

28. November

Maybe late October.

[Subdivisions]

54. Agreed. November. If he runs. Which he will. I hope. n/t

[peacetalksforall]

29. Classy people don't turn around and screw people just because they got screwed. -

He's classy and he just keeps getting classier.

I place my trust in him. And Feingold and Kucinich.

I admire how they stand against destroyers of things I care for.

[emilyg]

33. No he won't.

[Pastiche423]

45. But, if he does...

You can say bye bye, Hillary.

And that will feel SO good!

[Dob Bole]

35. Parche Announces Giant Trolling Initiative: Gets Hopes Up

Offers BJs!

[youthere]

55. Who is this BJ person?

[LittleClarkie]

36. I would jump on that bandwagon so damn quick

it would make your head spin.

Really.

It would.

[earthlover]

39. Me too. It is really hard....

I am almost wanting to support Obama because of how mean, petty, and irritating some of the Hillary Bloviators have been. Maybe one more posting of "poll results" will push me over the edge to support Obama.
But there is something...something I can't put my finger on....about Hillary Bloviators that really turns me off. I do hope Gore or Clark run. PLEASE?!!!

[LittleClarkie]

41. Indeed, they're not helping their case with me either

I'm thinking about Edwards or Richardson. But I really need to give some good attention to them all before I decide.

[book_worm]

42. Ok, I book marked it. But what do you have to back that up? or is it intuition?

[elfin]

43. Dream on - his son's DUI made that a no go

even if he was entertaning the thought. His family comes FIRST -- along with his global warming work.

Much to my dismay.

I LOVE Al - but if he does not announce by Ocotber - I must go with Edwards.

Hillary and Obama just will be a " dno "go" in the general due to"hate Hillary" misogyeny (sp?) that will superfund the Right Wing and the media

Also gainst Obama due to latent racism when it's down to the count, considering the factor of "Rethug steal" in crucial close states.

Pessimist here -- I dream of a Dem candidate who will capture our vision

[kwyjibo]

60. Sorry, but something that another person did (even his son) cannot keep this man down

It is a completely bullshit argument that his son's DUI has anything to do with what kind of president Al Gore would be, and he is smart enough to make that clear to the country. I don't think he's going to let the media get away with using that against him.

[lonestarnot]

47. AL and DK.

[OzarkDem]

48. I hope so

Is that wishful thinking or do you know something?

I'm not even interested in the primary race at this point. Al would make it more interesting.

[marions ghost]

50. u r naughty

:spank:

[Marrah_G]

52. I sure hope so

In my humble opinion, though I like most of the Dem candidates, I don't think any of them are up to the monumental task the next president will have. We have a massive amount of work to do abroad and at home to repair the havoc caused by * and Co. I see smart and charismatic candidates, but I do not see WISE candidates, and wisdom is needed more then anything else right now.

The only one I see that is qualified to do that is President Gore.

Please Run, Mr. Gore, Please, we need you.

I don't much care how crazy it sounds, in my opinion he is the one hope that we have to turn things around before they are to late.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

53. Do you have a Paypal account? Let's bet money.

$50 says he doesn't. Wheeee! Easy money by October 1!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

58. can you imagine the gnashing of teeth by the MSM and 'others' if he does?

I hope he runs! Rightful President. President who should have been.

[Desertrose]

61. I'll believe it when it truly happens....

Hate to think what they'll say & do if he does run.

Dang...wish he'da made it when he was really elected in '00.

*sigh*
