WTF? Al Gore as the democratic candidate for the general election?

Holy shit the democratic party has lost there minds. first they null and void michigan and floridas votes from counting towards the nomination then they realize they fucked up after it was to late,now this.

i swear if i was a democrat and they actually tried to pull this one off,i would tear up my voter registration card and never vote democrat again..

these people seem to not care whatsoever what the popular vote thinks,no matter how they acted after the 2000 election.its becoming painfully obvious that its not who the masses want as a candidate its who the most powerful in the DNC want to be the candidate that will prevail..

some democracy huh??

seems like back then everyone used the term "selected not elected".an now the hypocrites are discussing doing the exact same thing ?


ITS BULLSHIT IS WHAT IT IS...

 

Meanwhile, McCain keeps making mistake after mistake, mainly showing he knows little about the Middle East, and the news is so loony over the Dems fighting that its getting no coverage. They're giving their opponent a free pass right now.

 

That article is a joke/hoax (April Fools Day). No one seriously regards Gore as having a chance in hell.

 

so why would a daily paper publish a article for april fools,3 days before april fools??

 

I couldn't find a date on it, I stand corrected. Really though, this is just "wouldn't it be funny if" talk that wouldn't win over a single delegate. In my opinion. Which isn't always right, as you may note

 

Gore told 60 Minutes this weekend he is finished with politics. Dems are even trying to get him involved in their convention (possibly helping to broker it if the nomination fight is still ugly by then), and he even turned that down. He's got a new gig, man. I guess he's made 10s of millions on Google (he bought in very early), and his Inconvenient Truth movie also made him millions. Then the Nobel Prize ... Why dive back into the sludge?

 

america under al gore would most likely enter a "golden age" if he could hold a steady course.

 

You are either misguided or ill informed. A golden age for whom? Those prepared to cash in on the carbon offset market? You can't mean the poor that are being priced out of food and shelter because of rising commodity prices due to this rush to ethanol caused by global warming hysteria.

 

That made me laugh. Thanks.

The global elite, of course.

 

who would you have in power??

someone who might just think or someone who just does what he's told.

half of the problem of america is that the chain of command has been distorted, the orders are coming from people who have no technical or legal culpability for their "advice" people like Richard Perle or the likud branch of washington.

what would you have three trillion dollars spent on the environment or three trillion dollars spent on fighting a war with no reason , definition or end ??

al gore's obsession is the environment be thankful for that

 

my own feeling is that gore would just get himself a bullet proof vest and start directing the war money into a little thing called renewable energy. or even something crazy like dragging the american automobile business screaming and kicking into the 21st century.

 

Why should I be thankful for it? Gore is a huckster and a liar. He won't face his detractors on the whole global warming issue because he can't. The guy is a complete hypocrite with his four mansions, his millions of dollars of stock in Occidental Petroleum, and his ties to corporations like Monsanto. The man does not care about the environment, though he sure likes to pretend he does for his elite handlers at the UN, who want to use and exploit the issue of climate change to instate a global tax and further deindustrialize the West, sending US jobs to China where there are no environmental laws while eviscerating national sovereignty.

So I can see how someone might think Gore is a good guy if they take everything at face value. I, on the other hand, can see through the guy's facade and I understand what a crooked liar the guy is. He's no hero to those who know who he really is.

 

The Florida and Michigan state legislatures knew they would be punished if they broke the rules. They broke the rules anyway and were punished. The DNC has said, if they want their votes to count, they are free to hold new primaries. I see no problem.

The chances of Al Gore becoming the nominee at the convention is non-existent. It will either be Clinton or more likely, Obama. For it to even become a possibility so many stars would have align. First, going into the convention Clinton and Obama would have be virtually tied in delegates, superdelegates and popular vote, this is unlikely to happen. Second, the delegates at the convention would have to be in a virtual dead lock in vote after vote after vote, chances are good, even if the first vote does not produce a nominee, the 2nd or 3rd would. Then, once the party elders decided Al Gore was their guy, they would have to convince all the delegates and super delegates to buy into it and shift their votes from the candidates they have been supporting for months to Gore and now instead of 2 choices they have 3, making it even easier to get a plurality of votes.

 

Yep, it's just idle talk.

Although I'd vote for Gore in a heartbeat.
