2. You don't draft winners and you respect his wishes
And the man is smart enough to know what he is doing and wants to do. So sad some still cannot respect him for it to even know what it is he is talking about in seeing what he needs to see. It isn't pom poms for him, it is DRAFTING OURSELVES to now do what we are responsible to do as citizens of this nation to start being the self-governing nation we are supposed to be. Al Gore is doing a GREAT THING right now and all some can do is continue the same status quo tactics. Drafting him into what exactly? The same putrid system he writes about in his book? Just what do those behind all of this intend to do about that first? And I don't care if all the anklebiters pile on me, because from where I sit, you are now all missing the big picture. Al Gore is beyond presidential at this point and will forever be remembered as a great man who changed the course of history regardless of anything else. And he will do what he believes is necessary and what is in his heart, that much I know from hearing his own words and seeing his actions. Too bad some don't have the same energy to talk about and truly support his environmental endeavors and the service he is now doing for this country and the world unless he has a title in front of his name. He will always be a President to me and I respect (especially based on my experiences in 2004) that he more than likfely does not intend to run in 2008. I then intend to spend my time supporting what matters, not pipedreams that falsely get hopes up and give me an excuse to sit the important issues out. And should he ever see that which would make him regain his faith enough to try it again, you can bet your ass I would be standing right next to him. But now it is time to come together for this planet and I truly believe that transcends these political games. Now go ahead and attack my opinion because you are all so tolerant, I don't really give a damn anymore and have no intention of engaging it.
