2. Al Gore always wants to do the right thing
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 12:23 PM by kster
Al Gore in 2000...

"First, we should complete hand counts already begun in Palm Beach County, Dade County and Broward County to determine the true intentions of the voters based on an objective evaluation of their ballots. Observers and participants from both parties should be present in every counting room, as required under Florida law. The results of this recount would, of course, be added to the present certified vote total and the overseas absentee vote total. If this happens, I will abide by the result, I will take no legal action to challenge the result, and I will not support any legal action to challenge the result. I am also prepared, if Governor Bush prefers, to include in this recount all the counties in the entire state of Florida. I would also be willing to abide by that result and agree not to take any legal action to challenge that result. If there are no further interruptions to the process, we believe the count can be completed with seven days of the time it starts".

7. I have a theory on that I think we would have still gone!
Since I believe they tricked him into taking Lieberman as the VP on 911 Gore probably would have been targeted and Lieberman would have been the next President! Think about it if you believe in MIHOP it would truly have fitted the PNAC cause.

10. 911 wouldn't have happened.
Cheney couldn't have been in charge of air defense.

Secret Service did not even try to stop that one!

4. Is there a place that he posts these?
I looked around Algore.com, but didn't see anything at a glance. I would love to keep up with these little tidbits of information that he puts out there from time to time!

9. No, his position
is more like Kucinich's. He said it should be "our primary focus" to get them out of Iraq. That doesn't jibe well with "we may still be there by 2013."

Also he realistically pointed out that American troops are magnets for attack-- that our presence there causes violence.

14. Gore is so brilliant
No one that I have ever heard has linked the presence of our troops as magnet for attack by the Iraqis. The Iraqis know that we are after their oil and will replace Saddam's repressive regime with ours. Fat chance the Bush regime would bring democracy to the Iraqis, much less let them control their own oil.

11. KR also went over to utube and gave it 5 stars.
wish more of us would do that on Utube for our people. It is at three stars right now and I'm guessing it is getting freeped.

13. What is with all the asshats commenting on the healthcare vid?

I take it none of them have ever been, or had a family member, sick or SOL'd by an insurance company.
Dumbasses.

15. Al Gore
Restore Gore and you restore America as a beacon of hope for the world. Moreover, you will return America to a country of laws that respects the Constitution and the rights of its' citizens.

GORE HAS BEEN RIGHT ON EVERY ISSUE.

RIGHT ON IRAQ.

RIGHT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.

RIGHT ON THE CONSTITUTION.

NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID.

VOTE AL GORE.
