Al Is Pissed About Florida!

[Jackson4Gore]

Go Get Them Preisdent Gore!

Former Vice President Al Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election by 537 votes in Florida, on Saturday called Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas ``the single most treacherous and dishonest person I dealt with during the campaign anywhere in America.''

2. problem is if kerry loses it is really over

the neo-cons will permeate every activity with the help of the supremes.

It will last for at least 10 years. I figure it will take that long before the idiots in this country are tired of sacrificing their young in Iraq...

3. Gore/Dean sure would be a firey ticket!

Just dreaming. :-)

and last years draft and pressured Gore to run.

6. Listen to Al......I say

If he says this guy is bad news he probably (most likely) IS.. ! .Al has a great mind for analyzing a problem and this particular problem was very personal to Al......I SAY AL IS THE MAN........

[Sannum]

7. He should be

Al should be pissed about Florida. The election was stolen. If he was not pissed, then I would want the pills that he was on.

8. About time, think it might be a tad bit too late?

I sympathize as we ALL have and do!!!

[Forkboy]

9. oh sure,NOW he's pissed

[JanMichael]

11. That was my first inclination on this too.

Day late, a country short.

[kentuck]

12. Al Gore is human like the rest of us....

What would we have done under the same circumstances? I don't know.

13. Too little, too late

I'm reading 50 Reasons Not to Vote for Bush by Robert Sterling, an excellent, well-referenced small volume paperback summarizing Florida and beyond. Wonderful talking points. Chapter One alone provides ample Bush bashing but also sadly shows how Al and his careful, make nice crew didn't fight when it really matter.

Add that to the info in Jeffrey Toobin's Too Close to Call (esp Chapter 12) and I have to disagree with you. Al's time has come and gone and when he had the chance, when he should have fought the repuke bastards tooth and nail, he backed down.

Now, it's too litte, too late ...

14. in Al's defense...

Al backed down because he was under pressure from the Republicans...AND the Democrats to give in. That is right...his OWN party abandoned him.

One of the best things to come out of this 2000 debacle is the exposure of the Bush Crime Family and Al Gore's "new found" liberal activism.

I love what Gore is doing now. I understand WHY he couldn't be this way in 2000 and I am glad he is no longer held back by the DLC.

I disagree with your premise that Al's career is over...on the contrary I think it is just starting over.

We need to see a Gore/Dean ticket in 2008. Especially if Kerry turns out to be Bush-lite, like I think he will.

Go Al!

15. Too bad he wasn't this angry in 2000 when it mattered

The pugs were efficient at getting their (paid) protestors to Miami and made it appear there was a local uprising of the ballots. Gore allowed himself to be manipulated by a pro Bush media and didn't fight as hard for those, primarily black votes, as he should have and gave the impression he and the Dems did not care about the disenfranchisement of black Americans.
