Al Gore 2008 Effort Begins (new website launching tomorrow)

Four years ago the will of the people was thwarted when the U.S. Supreme Court's intervention prevented Florida from counting their votes and handed the White House to George W. Bush. Vice President Gore addressed the nation urging Americans to unite behind President Bush and give him the opportunity to govern effectively. Unfortunately George W. Bush did not reach out to his opponents and govern from the middle, but instead enacted radical right wing policies that divided our nation in two. Eight years of peace and prosperity under Clinton/Gore gave way to war and recession.

Now, after a long and divisive campaign, Bush has emerged the winner in another tight race, claiming to have a mandate. With Republican gains in the House and Senate, the 55,743,908 people who voted against George W. Bush are in danger of losing their voice in the legislative sessions ahead.

Now, more than ever, America needs a national leader capable of serving as the standard bearer for a more progressive agenda. One person has stood up for all of us as the conscience of the Democratic party: A man who immediately spoke out against the loss of our civil rights in the Patriot Act, the first major political figure to speak out against the proposal to invade Iraq, the voice of reason in the face of a storm of ideological rhetoric: Al Gore.

Today we are launching a campaign to elect Al Gore as the 44th President of the United States of America and we hope you will join us in this historic effort.

A new website will launch on Monday, November 8th, with a new name. Please join our mailing list below and keep informed about this, only the first step in a long and exciting campaign.

The Harvey Fierstein look has to go, too. Much worse than wearing earth tones, if you ask me. :-)

I don't think America is ready to go back to a fat, and I mean really fat, president. The days of electing someone on the heft scale of a Rutherford B. Hayes or Howard Taft have long been over.

Unfortunately George W. Bush did not reach out to his opponents and govern from the middle,

Why do the losers always think they should have the ultimate say in how Bush does things? HELLO, LOSERS! YOU LOST! Shut up and get on the bus.

[DustyMoment]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . . . . . . .

The man has already shown how unhinged he is - how many times does he have to be slapped down?

Hildabeast has a better chance than he does and her chances aren't good.

Too Funny!

Algore is so yesterday. I hope they do try to run that washed out, fat, sweaty, loud mouthed pig!

Is this about Michael Moore?

[BIGLOOK]

Mental Meltdown would be more like it. People in the front rows attending an Algore speech are issued sheets of plastic.

Al Gore / Howard Dean in '08.

[oolatec]

8 years of peace and prosperity? Sure, if you omit '93 WTC, Mogadishu, Bosnia, Waco, Kosovo, Kenya, Tanzania, Khobar Towers, USS Cole, and numerous fatwas against us... uh huh...

[thoughtomator]

I was hoping Al Gore would be President in 1998.

[weegee]

Whaddya saying? Democrats LOVE a loser. They keep running the same names. It really is surprising when you look at it...

1892 Grover Cleveland / VP - Adlai Stevenson (D) won

1896 William Bryan / VP - Arthur Sewall (D) LOST

1900 William Bryan / VP - Adlai Stevenson (D) LOST

1908 William Bryan / VP - John Kern (D) LOST

1924 John Davis / VP -Charles Bryan LOST (Charles was William Jennings Bryan's brother)

1952 Adlai Stevenson / VP - John Sparkman (D) LOST (Stevenson's grandfather had been VP in 1892 and had a failed return bid)

1956 Adlai Stevenson Estes Kefauver (D) LOST (Kefauver was Senator from Tennessee, fellow Senator Albert Gore Sr. tried to get on the ticket and failed. Estes made a name for himself 'investigating' pop culture's influence on juvenile delinquency, shades of the PMRC hearings)

1964 Lyndon Johnson / VP - Hubert Humphrey (D) won

1968 Hubert Humphrey / VP - Edmund Muskie (D) LOST

1976 James Carter / VP -Walter Mondale (D) won

1980 James Carter / VP -Walter Mondale (D)LOST

"Bush barely qualifies as a country club leftist Republican--he's a statist, strictly speaking a fascist (partnership of large corporations and government--Mussolini's "corporatism")."

My Crap Detector is going off like crazy, could somebody help me out here?

[cardinal4]

Im torn, this article could be something ala scrappleface.com. But on the other hand, this is the same guy who had his global warming speech on the coldest night in decades..

[sweetiepiezer]

OMG,
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

Bring it on Al!!!!!

[jtmac40]

Does this mean he will go back to that Ronald Reagan haircut now and die it black again?

[sweetliberty]

"Unfortunately George W. Bush did not reach out to his opponents and govern from the middle, but instead enacted radical right wing policies that divided our nation in two."

Mega-bucks for education/No Child Left Behind, with Ted Kennedy's hearty endorsement, campaign finance reform, liberal idea which brought you George Soros, Michael Moore and company, Medicare prescription drug benefits for seniors, make the illegals legal....how, please tell me, are these extreme right wing policies?

[christie]

LOL. Al Gore didn't even manage to keep the VP office in the West Wing, lost out to Hillary. He doesn't stand a chance.

[SampleMan]

Run Al, run!
