Al Gore has made his sharpest attack yet on the George Bush presidency, describing the current US administration as "a renegade band of rightwing extremists". In an interview with the Guardian today, the former vice-president calls himself a "recovering politician", but launches into the political fray more explicitly than he has previously done during his high-profile campaigning on the threat of global warming. Denying that his politics have shifted to the left since he lost the court battle for the 2000 election, Mr Gore says: "If you have a renegade band of rightwing extremists who get hold of power, the whole thing goes to the right." But he claims he does not "expect to be a candidate" for president again, while refusing explicitly to rule out another run. Asked if any event could change his mind, he says: "Not that I can see." Mr Gore, who appeared at the Guardian Hay literary festival over the bank holiday weekend, is promoting An Inconvenient Truth, a documentary and book detailing the climate change crisis that he warns "could literally end civilisation". The new levels of attention he is receiving have led some Democrats to call on him to run again for president, while others have responded with anger that Mr Gore did not show the same level of passion in the 2000 campaign. He has since acknowledged that he followed too closely the advice of his consultants during that campaign, and - before he started to scoff at the idea of running again - swore that if he ever did so, he would speak his mind. In the years since, he has been a steady critic of specific

The guy just seems like he does'nt have any friends.
Gore's new theme song:
They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
Wait...was that a chad?
LOL!! So THAT'S what's causing all the global warming!!
He can't! His loss will haunt him to his grave.
Al calls Bush a "Renegade right wing extremist". Don Carlos calls Gore a left wing loonie, and a poor looser! Nya Nya!
I can only wish.
If, only. I wish whoever took his cowboy boots, would give them back to him.
al's report card does't include his PhD in the internet !!
Poor Al. I really do feel sorry for him.
Hey, is it possible that Gore thinks he might run against Bush in 2008?
Does Gore really believe that, or does he say it because he knows the Liberal base thinks any Republican is automatically hardcore conservative?
I tend to think the latter.
If you can't, then don't. If you can, you're welcome to talk to me all you want.
My point........ no one who satisfies some of your conservative requirements will ever be elected.
President Bush is one of two conservative Presidents in my lifetime, and I, for one, am thankful for that.
And I find algor both hilarious and pathetic at the same time. I hope this thread focuses on HIM, and doesn't turn into a mindless Bush bash.
(OK, so that would only happen on the OLD FR. The new one is run by the bashers......)
