add al gore to the straw poll.

[mopinko]

please reply to this thread if you want al added to the fundraising game. i mean, come on. even though a lot of people have given up, we still support him in principle, and still wish he would run. (and i think it would bring in more dough.)
so, kick and email the admins. k?

[tridim]

1. I wish they had, but it's too late now.

[Blashyrkh]

2. Even though he's not an official candidate?

What's the point of conducting a poll of the candidates for the Democratic nomination when you include people who don't fit that criteria.

[mopinko]

11. in a straw poll meant for fun and fundraising? what is the

harm? geez.

[Blashyrkh]

19. Because it's not fucking accurate?

What's the point of this poll at all if you're gonna include people who are not eligible for it?

[mopinko]

20. it is not fucking accurate, anyway.

it is a fundraiser and it is supposed to be fun. a game, ya know? chill out.
peace, eh?

[Ian David]

3. Fuck yeah! n/t

[mod mom]

4. If you added AL, I would gladly re-donate!

[mopinko]

21. i am holding out.

that credit card is staying tucked in my wallet until al gets to play.

[TheDoorbellRang]

37. I'm holding out, too n/t

[annabanana]

30. ditto. . . n/t

[Pastiche423]

5. I want him added!

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

6. No! He is effective OUTSIDE the dysfunctional political cycle.

He has found his most effective place in his life and ours.

In spite of Hillary's allegiance to "changing the system from the inside out", I believe Al Gore has proven how pressure ON that system is necessary.

In fact, reflecting on the last century, what pressure actually caused change in this country?

Leave him be. He is a leader WITHOUT being SUCKED into that fucking vacuum.

[mopinko]

9. when the election is over, his soapbox is gone

he would not be so much in the spotlight if it were not for the speculation that he would run. election over, bye bye al, see you in 4 years.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

16. Oh, I see. It's 24/7 "election" in your world.

I am ashamed to be an American.

The corpora-backed politico-system is firmly in place with NO RESPECT for those outside it *go fucking figure*.

There is no room for those who stand outside that system.

Excuse my language but FUCK THAT!!!!

[mopinko]

18. well, i can't really argue your point

i don't disagree that it is wrong. but i do think that it is the way it is. not that al will disappear. i'm sure he wont.
personally, honestly, i do think he is running. i just don't think that he would allow people to work so hard on his behalf if he was not at least seriously considering it. yes, i know that it is late. but it is not yet too late, and i hold fast.
but if you can name me one public figure that can make as much of a difference in the world from outside the white house as they could from inside, i will i will donate $50 to the candidate of your choice. look at what * has done, and tell me how he could have even come close from any other point in the universe.

[Control-Z]

7. Message already sent

I hope the admins are reading their mail.

edit: to fix typo

[Fly by night]

8. Please add Al. Practice the politics of the possible, not the pessimism of the pre-ordained.

Thanks kindly.

[mod mom]

10. wow that's some fancy play with the letter p!

:hi:

[Fly by night]

31. Oh pshaw! You've got me puckering with pride. ;>)

[mopinko]

12. perfect point

thank you.

[Swamp Rat]

13. NeoGore is "The One!"

:D

[mopinko]

14. yup

great work swampy. do you do this stuff for a living? no, you are a musician, right?

[Swamp Rat]

17. No

I make pix because I am angry at our government, and because I abhor the violence they, in the Bushler&Co admin, have committed against peoples of the world and at home.

Yes, I am a musician by trade. ;)

[mopinko]

22. it is a good outlet

it works for me, too.

[barbtries]

15. yea

[helderheid]

23. I'd LOVE that!

"Wait! I hear a whale - it's in trouble!"

[mopinko]

24. yeah, kick

for the whales!
i mean really, we just want to show our love for al.

[mopinko]

25. ok, kids. i have to go to bed.

please kick this thread for al. and for the whales. i alerted the admins about this thread, so show them how we feel.

i pledge $50 as soon as al is on the board. any other pledges? nothing works like showin' them the money.

[rosesaylavee]

26. K & R

Would have liked to see him too.

[mopinko]

28. how much would you have liked it?

i say let's show them the money.

[rosesaylavee]

29. A Lot.

Haven't played the game yet - but would have probably spent more than I should have if he was on it. As I think there are many many others on this site who would.

One way they could incorporate Al is making his entrance into the poll similar to how many envision his entrance to the race - through one of the unexpected POWERUP options.

Skinner et al - something to think about?

[mopinko]

34. you i will match dollar for dollar.

i posted that i will make a $5 match for anyone in this thread that puts out for al. but you i will match dollar for dollar. maybe you could alert on this to get the admins interested.

[rosesaylavee]

36. Ok. I alerted on ya.

Felt odd doing that - hope the mods understand my note I sent with it. :)

[DesertRat]

27. Agreed. k&r

:kick:

[IndyOp]

32. Yes, please! Gore, please! (n/t)

[mopinko]

33. i will match anyone in this thread.

i will put up $5 for each and every poster in this thread who contributes in the name of al gore.
so, kick it, and get your wallet ready.

[RestoreGore]

35. Even if I donate to The Alliance for Climate Protection?

That's in the name of Al Gore and the entire planet. Or is the political BS competition here all you care about? And with all due respect, you really look like a baby posting this thread. You want to support Al Gore? He has couple of organizations you can donate to... that is unless this is all just a show to you.

[mopinko]

38. all due respect- that's a laugh

and this is really about du more than it is about al.
i look like a baby? you look like someone in need of help.

[RevCheesehead]

39. Amen!

(what else did you expect me to say? :) )

[mopinko]

40. if only you could have gotten a little help

from a hihger authority.
