Come On Al!
Are you yanking my chain with a pile driver?
Morris is talking himself into oblivion. What does he call the Category 4 Galveston Hurricane, which happened 105 years ago? Gore Prophesies. spit.
You could be right. I was actually thinking that Johnny Kerry might get the dem nomination. As bad and traitorous as he is, he did almost win against an incumbant in time of war. I'm fairly certain that those who voted for him the first time would do it again if they could.
Ha! He is one slick dude and I'm sure he fools a lot of us.
Some of those who voted for Kerry were voting against Bush and had nothing to compell them to SUPPORT Kerry.
George W. Bush beat all of the "anybody but Bush" candidates combined.
The media pulled out all stops trying to defeat the Republican candidate last time (including heavy content on what the rest of the world had to say about our presidential election). There were biased poll results (even on election day), there were hoaxed news items, there was phoney outrage over abuse (which is what inspired the terrorists in Iraq, which increased the body count as foreign terrorists did the murdering that Iraqi soldiers wouldn't do). Just think what will happen when some new guy or girl (an unknown quantity to much of America) has to be introduced as the "front runner".
The media will certainly try to shape and mold just who that front runner is. McCain is their obvious choice. Having seen the racist cartoons they published of Condi Rice, they may mention her as a candidate but could fully be expected to savage her identity.
Pay attention to the toe sucker when he says things like this. He knows full well that Gore can't possibly win. Just like he knows full well that Condolezza Rice can't possibly win. He's just trying to stir up controversy.
Points taken weeg.
Dick Morris makes sense. It doesn't matter what we think of Gore - this column is an analysis of Gore's actions, not Gore's ability or policy. I've thought for a while that Gore was running again in 2008. Especially if Bush bombs somehow, Gore would seem like a viable alternative, no matter what those of us who despise the man think. IMHO, Gore relates to Nixon almost perfectly. In the same manner that Nixon retained the malice and bitterness from his loss to Kennedy and the press treatment he received, Gore seems to be maniacal in his distaste for conservatives and the new right-wing media. I could easily see Gore with an enemies list and a penchant for political mayhem. We'll see. My belief is that the system can handle a madman at the helm - power is too diffuse in the system for a dictator to take total control, although it could be a hairy ride there for a while.
It should have been a slam-dunk for Ali Ghor al-Ooudi. "The greatest economy in the history of the world", no Soviet threat, terror not an issue yet, running with the endorsement a popular President (though I think the MSM cooked the polling books visa vis Clinton), local Democrat machines free to stuff ballot boxes at will, MSM backing, etc. He should have won by at least 350 electoral votes. Ali Ghor lost because he comes across as an elitist, wooden, tree-hugging nutcase, plain and simple. The people of the U.S. sized him up and found him wanting.
Gore just whored himself out to the Arabs and Morris is comparing him to Nixon?
What a moron.
I hope you're right, considering my own prediction that he'd probably be borderline insane in his policy and judgments. Strange things happen in politics, though, and I can easily see him as the Democratic party candidate. Throw in a Perot, toss in some unforeseen crisis that cripples the Republicans, and who knows what will happen. But I hope you're right.
Meteorology is a science.
Global warming ain't science.
It's a religion.
I could even hear Rich Little doing the dialogue...
And, as for myself, I had rather vote for your cat than see Algore become President.
