Gore Vows More Spontaneous Campaign

Gore Promises More Spontaneous, Less Restrained Campaign if He Runs for President in 2004

MEMPHIS, Tenn. June 29 — Al Gore told top Democratic fund-raisers Saturday that the party's 2000 campaign had too many consultants and that if he runs for president again he will speak from the heart and "let it rip."

The former vice president attended a weekend retreat with about 60 fund-raisers and Democratic Party activists from across the country.

Reporters were barred from the meetings, but aides and others said Gore promised a different kind of campaign than the Democrats ran in 2000, when he lost to George W. Bush.

Gore said that campaign had "too much strategy, too many consultants giving too much advice," said Chris Korge, a party fund-raiser from Miami.

"If he were to do this again ... he would not be so guarded. He would let it rip and let the chips fall where they may," Korge quoted Gore as saying.

Strategy sessions for this year's November elections were the main focus of the retreat.

In brief comments in a hotel hallway, Gore said he was "extremely encouraged by the level of enthusiasm ... that we're going to have a successful 2002 election."

He said that that encouragement also applied to his possible second run for the presidency.

"Well, sure, but I'm not addressing that decision this weekend and probably won't until after the first of the year," he said.

Gore said he "would spend more time speaking from the heart" on "the basic challenges of the country."

"We're at a time when very basic decisions have to be made about the direction of our country, and I don't think the American people want to see small tactical moves in one direction or another" by political candidates, he said.

Since the 2000 election, the former Tennessee congressman and senator has spent a lot of time in his home state, where he and wife Tipper recently bought a $2.3 million home in Belle Meade, an affluent community bordering Nashville.

Gore said he plans to campaign heavily in Tennessee for the state's Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate and governor.

Yep, When Al Gore announces his bid for the 2004 election, I'm sure he will come out sweating :-)

"I did too."

Then we both have a sense of humor. One shouldn't go through life without one.

My favorite Gore lie he told was the one where he said his mother sung him to sleep when he was a child by singing the "Union Label" song. The problem with that is the "Union Label" song was released when Al Gore was 23 years old :-)

This is a prime example of why I don't think Al gore knows who he really is, I think he has been speaking Clintonese so long that he believes his own lies

"Yep, When Al Gore announces his bid for the 2004 election, I'm sure he will come out sweating :-)

Especially when he has to go toe to toe with Hillary. This will be fun to watch. I hope they destroy each other.

""If he were to do this again ... he would not be so guarded. He would let it rip and let the chips fall where they may," Korge quoted Gore as saying.

What he really said was"take the bull by the tail, and let the chips fall where they may."

Damn son. You are on a roll tonight. LMAO

[MJY1288]

Hang on, I have a few more :-)

He's about as spontaneous as a three-toed sloth.

My first thought. Yeah let er rip. So now that means from a garden hose to a broken fire hydrant of pure unadulterated BS? Oh God! Hep us! Hep us!

The only way Gore gets the nod to run again is if the commies see no way of beating Bush in 04. If they think he's beatable Hillary will "persuade" him to sit down and keep his mouth shut and he will do just that.

Re: the picture in post #65. Poor Tipper. Some frumpy gals clean up pretty good and look downright appealing. Tipper isn't one of them. She may be richy, but has absolutely no class, regardless of what they dress her in. She always looks like it's six months since she got her last haircut.

Speaking of PETA, I have a bumper sticker that reads

"When all the tree's are gone, I'll wipe my ass with the Spotted Owl" :-)

Gore Vows More Spontaneous Campaign

Why do I have the nagging fear that 'spontaneous', to Gore, involves a pogo-stick, a tin of cat food, mayonaisse, chrismas tree lights, and a bazooka?

[Texasforever]

lol

[MJY1288]

Good morning Laz, how are ya?

There is a great archive of Gore (AlBore) currently available at www.farts.com. They sound a LITTLE different, but smell the same.

Too awake.

Sleeping soon.

Please send chocolate.

Apparently the major advice from the strategy session was "speaking from the heart". I'm amazed he couldn't get that without being told. Some folk just need a major defeat to understand the small stuff.
