Al Gore forms exploratory committee for '08 run - Promises a "carbon neutral" America

Former Vice-President Al Gore today formed an exploratory committee aimed for a presidential run in '08. He cited a lack of current candidates who are paying significant attention to the problem of Global Warming.

His major policy change, according to a statement released by Mr. Gores campaign, would be for the government to become actively involved in forcing carbon-neutral lifestyles on normal, everyday Americans. "Mr. Gore firmly believes that excessive power consumption releasing unacceptable amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causes global warming". He will therefore propose legislation that will determine, according to family size, how much power they can use in a year. "Mr. Gore believes American families vacation too much, make too many trips in their cars and use power for unnecessary things like air-conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter".

Anyone consuming more than their alloted share will be charged an additional "carbon tax" on their electric bills that will be used to purchase all carbon credits from Generation Investment Management. Mr. Gores campaign denies this future no bid contract award has anything to do with his being Chaiman of this company. Said a spokesperson, "Generation Investment Management is the premier carbon credit trading company in the world. It's purely coincidence he his the Chairman of the Board. Our friends across the aisle will be sure to make this a campaign issue which is despicable and the highest form of partisan politics"..

Now what we need from ALGORE is a promise that he believes in this issue so much he would run as a Green Party candidate in the event he were unsuccessful in securing the RAT party nomination. Gore vs. Hillarobama vs. REPUB.

GORE is Green (with envy) in 2008. Yes.

Al Gore Rejects TV Debate on Global Warming

Lord Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her years as Prime Minister, has seen his challenge to debate global warming rejected by former Vice-President Al Gore. “I have seen Mr. Gore’s film,” said Monckton. “‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide. By refusing to debate, Mr. Gore has bolstered his profound ignorance with a large dollop of cowardice.”

Gore rebuffed the debate challenge saying “The issue has already been settled. There’s nothing to debate. Every reputable scientist agrees that humans are wrecking the climate. The challenge itself is a disreputable attempt to muddy the waters and delay the necessary transfer of power to those of us pledged to save the planet.”

“I don’t know how many times I’ve told everyone that this is a moral issue,” Gore continued. “Opposition to our moral course of action is, by dint of logic, immoral. We don’t need to hear from the advocates of immorality. We need to make the sacrifices necessary to atone for our sins against Mother Earth. I’ve shown the way. It’s up to everyone to follow it.”

What Gore says is so profound that he must talk real slow so the rest of us can absorb it.

"Would he regulate how much toilet paper you use?"

Yes, and there'll be inspections to make sure you use it properly. There'll also be schools created to train folks to use it properly, and attendance will be required to obtain a TP and dump licence. THose who fail the course will be required to wear diapers, except illegal aliens, of course.

It's a watermellon thing. They are bound and determined to get firm control over the energy supply to consolidate their power.

"...the necessary transfer of power to those of us..."

This is what it's all about for Algore & his collection of international commie buttbuddies.
