Reply #16: Gore is exceptionally Shrewd and Wise to have stayed off the front lines

[seventhson]

I think that in his 2002 announcement he did what he thought at the time was best -- and he telegraphed his displeasure at the DLC assholes by saying basically that he wanted to run but that no one in the democratic reich was helping him.

Now the DLC poster boy (Kerry) supported by Pitt and BLM and others on this board has proven to be a skunker of a candidate and Dean is just not well enough known or trusted to carry the ball.

Gore suffered an incredible defeat at the hands of the crypto-fascist on the Supreme Court guided by the puppeteers of Baker and the BFEE corporate military operation. He needed a big rest to recuperate and think things through without the constant haranguing and decide whether it is really worth risking his life to go up against the people and organizations who backed Hitler and who have no qualms about destroying Democracy via assassination and subterfuge.

Anyone seen the Manchurian Candidate or the Quiet American lately. I watched them both iun the past week and we are woefully ignorant and stupid if we do not see the corruption of this administration and its forebearers.

But it was ROVE whop said you never realease a new product in the summertime.

Gore needed to wait to strike when the iron is hot and is getting hot now. People are fed up with Bush and they want the man they elected in the first polace to dig us out of this (ass)hole that Bush has stuffed us all into.

I am sure that Gore follows what happens on this board via his savviest mnedia advisors - his daughters - and he knows the pulse is in his favor.

But things have changed 180 degrees since his tepid "withdrawal" in 2002.

He did the smart and wise thing then - never ruling out a return or a draft.

He knows the majority of Americans wish he had won the seat fair and square (instead of being cheated out of it).

But by keeping this exceptionally low profile he has kept BushFEE from making HIM the issue so that Bush can grill himself on the barbecues of his own conflagrations and endless stupidities without too much distraction.

Gore MUST stay out of small airplanes (or large iones for that matter). He MUST select a running mate who is LESS likely than him to cater to the right (RUSS FEINGOLD or DEAN would make fine choices - maybe Barbara Boxer to secure the female vote - altho I am not sure she is that appealing to many). He MUST stay away from those too close to the BFEE-PNAC-DLC like Lieberman, Kerry or even Hillary
