He's BAAAAACK! Yup, Prince Alberta, newly relocated to the liberal mecca of San Francisco ensconsed in his new multi-million $$ condo, working in the venture capital field (all bad things when he was running for the WH) will today crawl out from under his rock to deliver himself of a major address about the "evils of executive power"

Gore is nothing but a bottom dwelling scum sucking piece of trash. Like 99.9% of all Dems, lying comes real easy to him.

You got me. Barr's willingness to introduce Mr. No Controlling Legal Authority is appalling.

The Washington Post did a warrantless search of Free Republic when they entered the password protected account of MD4BUSH.

GREAT POINT!

LOL! Playing Barney songs, Sesame Street songs and heavy metal music was very successful in getting information in the war in Afghanistan.

These groups have tarred themselves with Gore's slime. It'll be interesting to see how they respond to complaints from their members.

You got that right !!!

How they could get in bed with the loons is beyond me

Actually you could still win the presidency with a substantial minority of votes.

Imagine a scenario where a Republican running for President promised to do something really bad to California and New York residents if he was elected.... and in response nearly 100% of eligible voters in those 2 states turned out against him, while the rest of the country was split fairly evenly between him and his opponent with a lackluster turnout. The republican could win with only 35-40% of the vote.

He is on Court TV tomorrow at 5:30 with Catherine Crier; I'm going to make sure I catch that to see what he's up to.

Did Barr start down the dark road when he played games w/the redistrictering, moved to the new district, and lost his reelection? It seems so to me, or were there other signs before that?

I am not surprised at Bob Barr; but David Keene does surprise me.

Not sure if their comments are still on the page. It was on National Review's the Corner, but other blogs were glowing about Gore speaking to a conferance they attended. Other bloggers were kicking themselves they didn't attend, like Hugh Hewitt. Drudge even had an article up on his page listing him a hit among these "conservatives". I posted a couple samples from their comments, and subtracted their names so people could guess who they were.

Pulled it from my user posts, don't remember which names of NR made these comments only that about 4-6 were pretty gushing that day and I pulled two of their posts to show as an example on this board. here they are.

(sample one)
For a moment, let's set aside the content of his speech on global warming. We can get to that later. Aren't you just a little bit impressed that Gore would try to talk to conservatives at the Wednesday meeting? I am. It shows guts, courage of convictions, and an optimism about how calm discussion among reasonable people can achieve good results.

(sample two)

Indeed, the former Vice President did turn up at Grover's Wednesday Group meeting, apparently at his own request, to give an abbreviated version of his global warming presentation. As Grover's meetings are off-the-record, I won't relay any of Gore specific remarks (beyond repeating what I think he'd want Cornerites to hear--that global warming and the potential harm it may do to the planet should be recognized as a moral challenge by everyone, especially conservatives). But I think I can stay within the rules to make a few general observations about the experience.

First, Gore was funny, relaxed, and self-effacing, and he was received by the Group with the utmost politeness and courtesy, as it should be. (sample One author) is right to praise the guy for seeking to meet with a group of people not one of whom likely voted for him. His Powerpoint presentation on global warming was superbly done--the best I have ever seen either on this or any topic. (He has some dazzling graphics, and uses Powerpoint as it ought to be used.)

Gore took on all comers for about 25 minutes after the speech, and I thought most of his responses were not strong. He graciously acknowledged the merits of good points and some challenges put to him (including two from me, if I can boast a bit). But most of his answers, I thought, sounded like canned bits of the rest of his speech that he left out, and he didn't, with few exceptions, join the fundamental premises at the heart of the questions. He also is not up to date on a few aspects of the climate change debate, but this is entirely forgiveable in my mind because it is almost impossible to keep up with this fast-moving scene.

Above all, Gore the practical politician may have come to realize something the environmental movement is resolutely clueless about: there can be no serious progress on any environmental issues without the participation of conservatives, for the obvious reason that the conservative movement is a potent force that is not going away any time soon. And with most other foreign conservative parties having joined the green/global warming bandwagon to some extent, this leaves the American conservative movement as the most significant remaining holdout. Most environmentalists want to demonize conservatives; Gore says he wants to talk to us. Good for him.

One final observation: I got the impression, simply from body language and maybe even a facial tic, that Gore doesn't much like Hillary Clinton.

Thank you all for bringing this to my attention.

I have all ready written Townhall and told them they will not be getting another dime until they drop their Liberty Coalition membership. Please send this to any ping lists. It is a link for contacting Townhall's Editor in Cheif. http://www.townhall.com/townhall/contact.html

Perhaps, but that is extremely unlikely. Sticking to realistic scenarios, a person could win the Presidency without popular vote by a few million max. Which may seem like a lot, except that apparently we're close to tallying 300 million in population this year.

Gore accuses the Bush administration of breaking wiretap laws

Did he cite the "controlling legal authority"????

```I guess AL hasn't been paying much attention to what the judicial branch of the government has been doing lately... ```

Of course he has; that is the ONLY place that liberals can make any headway now; I'm sure he doesn't have a problem with them!
