- fuzzmeister, on 10/14/2007, -2/+54If the guy doesn't want to run, he's not going to run.
- rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34Unlike you, Gore actually volunteered to serve in in the military, which he did for nearly two years, including the last five months in Vietnam. No, he wasn't a combat warrior, but he didn't wait to be drafted, either.
- MastaB, on 10/13/2007, -19/+45Al Gore > Ron Paul
I am so going to get dugg down by the army of libertarians... - mutroniii, on 10/15/2007, -1/+26No he wasn't.... Andrew Jackson(1824), Grover Cleveland (1868), & Samuel Tilden (1876) all won a plurality of the popular vote, but lost the presidency.
- zombies187, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27Gore is a bigger man than me. If I won an election and the supreme court gave away my office, there would be blood on the ground. I respect him so much for not overthrowing the government. That took real steel.
- alphaone, on 10/16/2007, -2/+19The double post will get dugg down faster.
- inactive, on 10/14/2007, -1/+18Excellent idea, they could dust off all those Clinton-Gore political buttons and stickers and reuse them.
- larthallor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17He will not be VP again. If he stays out of the race though, there may be some other role for him in a Clinton cabinet. Wouldn't it be great to see the look on the collective face of Big Oil when Al Gore is sworn in as the Secretary of Energy?
- rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Yes, it is painful to learn that reality has a well-known liberal bias.
- alphaone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Sorry, I stand corrected.
- notthemama, on 10/12/2007, -32/+42Dang. I was hoping it was a draft Gore for the army petition.
Sure, he'd probably get killed by friendly fire, but couldn't happen to a nicer guy. - SquigglyP, on 10/12/2007, -8/+18there IS more to think about than just environmental issues. Besides, what has he done so solve the problem of Global Warming? Made a movie? no wait, he didn't actually... ok, so he 'produced' a movie that some other guy made and that he narrated and took credit for. Since making it he's been doing nothing but criss-crossing the globe on his not-very-environmentally-friendly private jet, speaking at huge events full of state of the art power-sucking special effects, and he owns a home that is well documented as to exactly how much more power it drains than the average home. yes, he's done a lot of TALKING about global warming, because he's a politician, and he just wants to drum up support for his career. He cares less about the environment and more about his own future.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12are you questioning a veterans service? why is this okay? McCain, Cleland, Murtha, Kerry, Gore, all slimed by chicken hawks.
- mediaspree, on 10/16/2007, -7/+17If he won the presidency i'd feel like Marty Mcfly had something to do with it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Anyone thought that perhaps he doesnt want to run?
- rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12That's like saying, "we don't need Bill Clinton, we have Pat Robertson".
Could you find two politicians who are less alike? Dennis Kucinich and Sam Brownback have more in common than Al Gore and Ron Paul.
You Paulettes scare me. - Terr01, on 10/13/2007, -1/+8Oh, Cmon James: You've tried to play the moderate card by saying you didn't like Bush and that he drove you from the Republican party, so why not mentioning the Texas Air National Guard? :P
- spoonz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7No way Gore is going to run. Everything he has done after leaving office has moved him to the left (Probably to his true political views). You don't setup a run for president by moving to the left or right. You move to the center to appeal to more people. (See Hillary in the past 8 years). Like it or not that's how politics works.
- gak001, on 10/16/2007, -3/+9...and dugg up by all of the people who are sick of the sycophant, Ron Paul zombie-fanboys.
- ingoldsby, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8As much as I would like him to run, I don't think he wants to deal with the politics anymore, and highly doubt he will run.
- pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8i guess now you are going to call him a phony soldier.
- mediaspree, on 10/16/2007, -0/+6it would be ,like ,enlightenment for stoners.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Al Gore is very perceptive man. Read his book, "the assault on reason." It describes how the coporate controlled media has taken over the flow of knowledge and why this is such a dangerous thing for a democracy.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The winner would have fAR more than 30?% of the vote. Ron Paul will not take anything away from either party's nomination. Maybe 0.2%.
- rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Telegram for Mr. Ignorant: Gore has already been under the "presidential microscope" - twice.
And he has debated more opponents than you have ever been willing to. - ericthegreat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Yeah, another announcement by him stating he has no interest in running.
- numlok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Man, after reading "Assault on Reason", I REALLY wish he were our president, however, at the same time I can't envision how such a thing could ever come to fruition (primarily given the current political/media/corporate climate outlined in that same book). Hmm...
- zombies187, on 10/16/2007, -1/+6Can you elaborate?
- Pake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Unfortunately P4yne doesn't seem to be talking about a showdown at high noon, so it's still a lose-lose.
- grungemunky, on 10/16/2007, -5/+10I wonder what a Gore/Gravel combo would be like....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Dugg the first sentence for humor. The second sentence went too far though.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Al Gore and Ron Paul both have about the same chance of winning the Republican Primary.
- leontes, on 10/12/2007, -16/+21I signed it. He's an incredible person, I'd vote for him again. If he doesn't run, he should be hillary's VP, at least.
- zombies187, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I love people who base their political opinions on cartoons.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ya, its gonna be so awsome to pay even more for gas!
Bitch and cry about big oil if you want, but it just makes you look like a retard. The US has the cheapest gas in the world. - cnot3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Al Gore trying to overthrow the government. LOL! I'm being thuper therial, come awn!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The country didn't seem to care when GW won with less than 50% so it probably wouldn't have any impact.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4dude, the democrats could run a corpse and beat the republicans. if hillary gets the democratic nod, guess what.... be pragmatic, look at Obama...
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Al Gore has been speaking about global warming for almost 30 years. Just because it's being called his "new thing" in the media doesn't mean he hasn't been a proponent on the Congressional floor for decades. Likewise, Jimmy Carter is credited with the Nobel Prize for a peace agreement issued in the 90's, but he has been an advocate for global reform more than any other president this century starting in the 60's.
- fkr3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I don't think it's quite as bad as you say....
And honestly I don't think Gore has "done nothing" worthy of that kind of recognition. He has raised a lot of awareness of something enough people think is a critical issue to get a nomination, if he wins it's because the judges think his efforts are worthy of it. - rjn17960, on 10/16/2007, -3/+7Gore's a damn sight better than all of the candidates running right now
- zombies187, on 10/16/2007, -1/+5Who mentioned Sweden?
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6You know nothing about Al Gore's career, do you? Until you do a little reading on his background, stay out of the discussion.
- gak001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hey Spaz - Guess what? That's right: Chickenhawk
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'll agree when all those concerned celebrities and politicians give up their private jets.
- fadeout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Well played.
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Especially cartoons that contradict themselves four or five times as their creators adjust their libertarian views.
Smug Alert, Manbearpig, The Dam Episode...every season they realize, "Oh, *****, guess we were wrong about that...need a new closing lesson of the day a la Stan/Kyle." - duzytata, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Open up a magazine, watch tv, take a look at a billboard. What do all the ads in these mediums have in common? They're about a greener earth, whether it be about fuel efficient cars or green power supplies for your computer. Before his film came out and garnered all this attention I never saw anything like this. He raised awareness about climate change and now everyone world wide is talking about this problem. Seems pretty deserving to me.
- masterm1nd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Zen, you didn't rebut him. All you did was say -- 'You know nothing, you havent read anything, don't say anything'.
- SquigglyP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4sorry, bro... but most of the time using "intelligent citizens" and "diggers" to describe the same people... kind of an oxymoron.
