the really great thing about Gore's speech?...HE WROTE IT

[mopaul]

bush has never written a speech in his whole fucking life, only read them. and you know what else is great? he knows what it is he's talking about.

boy, we got fucked president-wise.

[IChing]

1. Does he have a wire on his back?

Like the bushenfurher?
I think not, and know he doesn't
He is really rocking the house isn't he, saying we have a dictatorship now.

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. You beat me to it.

President denied Gore doesn't need one.

[Road Scholar]

27. Ya mean W doesn't write his own speeches?????

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[libnnc]

2. KICK

[Botany]

3. And he can speak too.

Damn it ..... why I am I crying?

16,000 votes taken away from Al in Nov. 2000 by 1 Diebold machine in Volusia, County Florida.

It is time to run those crooks from the White House.

[mopaul]

4. he talks this way off script too, not like some presidents i know

[Olney Blue]

28. Botany, I cried too.

I was driving home from the grocery store when the speech started, and I thought
I was going to have to pull over from the tears of relief to hear something honest for a change.

[AuntiBush]

32. You Weren't the Only One

Same here. Partly for job that Gore stood proud, displaying great courage for all of us, and, well, the other part for all the horrible things gone wrong under *!

You know he did that for ALL of us, and at the risk of repeating myself on the DU boards, he stands for all Americans, not just Democrats.
Freepers will never, ever get that part, though I'm hopeful they do.

[Olney Blue]

36. Aunti, you are so right. The country has never been so polarized.

I never thought I would see the day when there was so much animosity
between AMERICANS toward each other because of their party affiliation.

Gore spoke to everyone today- all parties. The way that Bush
speaks to Americans is to speak to his base and then everyone else is a traitor
who doesn't agree with him! I'm tired of it.

Remember Barack Obama's "purple" speech at the convention? Today reminded
me of that. However, sadly, the RNC didn't even listen to the bipartisan comments today.

This administration is dangerous- and it starts at the top with B/C.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. I have heard Gore speak in person several times

He is an absolutely awesome public speaker.

This is so sad to me. Damn, they stole the presidency from one of the most articulate and intelligent men ever to run for the office.

Damn those mother fuckers. I can't even describe how deeply I hate them.

[Carni]

23. I have heard him in person as well

And he is indeed an awesome speaker!

I felt slightly sick watching today--on the one hand I was totally celebarting the fact that he is leading a fight and calling it like it is... but on the other hand I was hit by January 2001 depression all over again.

I still can't believe we had *the asshole* foisted on this country --

Matters are indeed very grave.

[onehandle]

6. Bush can write? Thank God for the Head Start Program. nt

[IChing]

9. Don't you mean "no child left behind"?

:rofl: :rofl:

[DesertRat]

7. I am watching with tears in my eyes

I'm reminded of what we lost in the election of Nov.2000

[kittenpants]

20. me too

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

8. Things have gone downhill so far that I've forgotten

that is possible. It's really somethng amazing that the "liberal media" overlooks this incredibly important difference.

[mopaul]

10. bush has a team of writers, lead by kkkarl

when bush speaks off script he sounds like a junkie monkey, plus, he has to rehearse.

[pstans]

11. I have watched 5 minutes of Gore's speech

It is great and I believe now that he is going to run in 2008. He has regained his passion. He is no longer holding up Clinton's DLC policies, he is passionatly talking about the progressive issues he believes in.

[mopaul]

12. I'd love to say i voted for him twice

[lonestarnot]

13. AL FOR PRESIDENT!

[Richard D]

14. And he's hardly ever looking down at his notes.

[IChing]

16. Just saw a long shot and no telepromter....

Great speech standing ovation.

[Twist_U_Up]

15. Ill Rec. #5 nt

[Strawman]

17. this is an absolute tour de force

I'm really impressed.

[mopaul]

18. haven't heard: terror. enemy. pertek amurka. terror. terror terror terror

[mopaul]

19. why, I believe he's been reading DU

22. And he mentioned how we need to protect the internet

Those criminal minds in the white house will surely have that on their agenda of intimidation and control. TV is for crap in reporting on the state of the nation.

[mopaul]

25. the internet is only another spy tool to them

[babylonsister]

24. Simply eloquent, mopaul! nt

[wiggs]

26. I feel compelled to say

... that, on the other hand, B*sh is afraid of horses.

[mb7588a]

29. he wrote it?

what proof have ye?

[mopaul]

30. actually peggy noonan wrote it

[AuntiBush]

31. Rate this Up Folks - It's that Important.

For the evening crowd.

Thanks, mopaul. I would never have thought as much, but I do now!

:kick:

[MissWaverly]

33. not only does he believe in the rule of law

he considers the chief executive bound by the constitution and he can pronounce every
word in the speech, I didn't hear one um, er: consult means talk or similar baloney.

[mopaul]

34. bush prounounces 'in other words' as, 'nuwerds'

Gore pronounces it: 'in other words', i was astonished, i hadn't realized that it is three seperate and distinct words because bush has been president for several decades. or so it seems

[MissWaverly]

35. they said 1 year in sing sing = 10 regular years

I think we are 50 years into the reign of Bush II, it is amazing to have someone who
can clearly enunciate his words

[Olney Blue]

38. ROTFL

:rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

37. Thank you President Al Gore!!!

[donkeyotay]

39. But...but... does it have any slogans?

I mean, sure it was thoughtful and articulate, reasoned, informed and inspirational. But I can't find, you know, a take-away phrase. Something simple I can understand like, "stay the course." I don't want to think. I want someone to say they're keeping me safe. Thought is, well... too hard.
I need a soundbite. KKKARL!!!!
