The powers behind the DNC puppets always knew she couldn’t win. They only backed her for a sideshow act. They have been working on Gore this whole time.

Watch, one of the criteria was him losing weight. Next time we see him, he will be slimmer.

Everyone needs to be reminded about BIG OIL Al and how little he cares about the ‘environment’ when it lines his pockets.

The Inconvenient Truth Al Gore Hopes You Forget!

So, I wake up this morning to hear Al Gore has won an Oscar for trying to save the world!

Then I went out and shoveled 18” of his global warming out of my driveway.

First question: Why didn’t he do anything to try to save the environment during his 8 years as Vice President and how many years as a senator?

Some say the Vice President has no power, can’t make policy, blah, blah.

Next question: Then why was he able to pull off selling one of our few oil reserves at Elk Hills in California to his big oil buddies at the expense of the environment and fuel reserves. This story was widely reported, but that was 10 years ago. How soon we forget.

http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=468

[snip]Occidental’s planned drilling of the Elk Hills doesn’t only threaten the memory of the Kitanemuk [Indian tribe}. Environmentalists say a rare species of fox, lizard and the kangaroo rat would also be threatened by Oxy’s plans. A lawsuit has been filed under the Endangered Species Act. But none of that has given pause to Occidental or the politician who helped engineer the sale of the drilling rights to the federally-owned Elk Hills. That politician is Al Gore.

Gore recommended that the Elk Hills be sold as part of his 1995 “Reinventing Government” National Performance Review program. Gore-confidant (and former campaign manager) Tony Cohelo served on the board of directors of the private company hired to assess the sale’s environmental consequences. The sale was a windfall for Oxy. Within weeks of the announced purchase Occidental stock rose ten percent.

That was good news for Gore. Despite controversy over Dick Cheney’s plans to keep stock options if elected, most Americans don’t know that we already have a vice president with oil company stocks. Before the Elk Hills sale, Al Gore controlled between $250,000-$500,000 of Occidental stock (he is executor of a trust that he says goes only to his mother, but will revert to him upon her death). After the sale, Gore began disclosing between $500,000 and $1 million of his significantly more valuable stock.

Nowhere is Al Gore’s environmental hypocrisy more glaring than when it comes to his relationship with Occidental. While on the one hand talking tough about his “big oil” opponents and waxing poetic about indigenous peoples in his 1992 book “Earth in the Balance,” the Elk Hills sale and other deals show that money has always been more important to Al Gore than ideals.

All of their ‘causes’ are fronts for personal and political gain.

David Mixner doesn’t think Hillary can catch hold of the ‘voice of the new generation’. David Mixner calls more of the shots than the Clintons.

Does that depend on the kind of shots being called?

It would be kinda' poetic, though...

I’m familiar with the Foster scandal.

You don’t seem to be too familiar with the people behind the scenes that do the anointing. David Mixner was the one that organized the Vietnam anti war activists. David Mixner started the VictoryFunds that fund the DNC. David Mixner was Clintons gay political advisor. It is David Mixner that picks the front runner. Not the Clintons. David Mixner is retiring Hillary.

I hope you are correct.

But you don’t have to be so snippy.

Losing once isn’t enough? Maybe he and Jean-Fraud Kerry will team up for the HAS-BEEN LOSER party.

Gore is going to have a lot of money behind him when he enters officially. That whole concert enabled them to bring in a lot of overseas money that has long been through the laundry system and donated to the nonprofit draft gore movement.

By following his blogs.

This one is the most telling:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/_43272.html

>>>While the Clintons lead the party in a chorus of “The Way We Were,” the charismatic Barack Obama and the substantive John Edwards are giving us a glimpse at the future of the Democratic Party. My baby boomer generation has had our run and the next generation is boldly stepping up to lead and to create a new vision for America.

That is a good thing.<<<<

After that one went up the Gore Campaign Team assembled:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/04/22/wgore22.xml

The, the chit chat threads started with the items for the resumes: lose weight, awards, then the electgore site was updated after the Nobel peace prize, as promised from the chit chat threads.

“He is a member of the nrpe.org He will get the Green Party vote.”

Good.

Then if he loses the primary against Hillary, he can run on the Green Party ticket, thus dividing the liberal votes.

Thanks for the link...the Huff Post comment section was most amusing. They are all really loving the Breck Girl. I have never heard of this guy; I always thought that Bonnie & Clyde called the shots over at Clinton Inc.
