Al Gore major policy speech~~~ Live Thread(Humor break)

When was the last time a private citizen gave a policy speech.....this will be fun.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Remember when then Sec of State Bill Jones uncovered massive voter fraud in CA, it was none other than Gray Davis who put an end to the recount here. Makes you wonder about that "Gore won the popular vote" line.

[Timesink]

Notice that we lost all the toss up states except for Florida. And the FRAUD to win was keyed in but something went wrong. I believe more people voted R than they had expected. Therefore the uproar and accusation that WE the R's created the fraud. It's the old tranference trick.... accusing the other of what you're doing. Good point you made here. I wish we were more vocal about this.

Several studies showed that the networks' FRAUDULENT declaration that "Gore won Florida, there's almost no way Bush can win now" before the polls were even closed there, caused anywhere from one to three MILLION GOP voters in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones to assume it was hopeless and to either leave their place in line at their polling places or to not show up in the first place. There is no question - NONE - that on Election Day 2000, more people intended to vote for Bush than for Gore. It wasn't going to be a 20-point blowout, but Bush would absolutely have won a clear popular majority and electoral vote majority if only the "mainstream" news media hadn't screwed up and spread outright lies to the public.

Condi Rice is going to be speaking in a few minutes!

What a striking contrast.

[Timesink]

Don't forget WHY he speaks with a lisp.

Al Gore Sr. punching him in the face constantly as a child to "toughen him up?" Al Sr was one major-league SOB, and he sure didn't treat Al Jr. very well.

[floriduh voter]

If you drag out the map, Algor had some blue pockets of voters (where voter fraud occurred) and the rest of the country was solid red. Missouri, Pennsylvania, California, Florida (remember the military ballots? Algor's idea), Wisconsin and other states I can't remember just now.

[Frank_Discussion]

Why would Gore take it *upon himself* to endorse anybody? I really think he's up to something, and not in a plan of his own design.

[austingirl]

I believe that, too. Without voter fraud entrenched in the big urban areas and the "precall" of Floriduh, Bush would have won the popular vote.

[hollywood]

Exactly. It's all part of a VLWC to make the RAT-pack look like idiots, and then along comes a breath of fresh air, Hitlery herself. She is, after all, the smartest woman alive. Oops, must not forget the (end sarcasm) thingy.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Perhaps he's auditioning for a VP position - could you just see Gore and Dean campaign? Commerical: Dean saying "vote for me, cuz they stole the election from him?"

[alnick]

And when he said no cheering Iraqis which is a blatant lie

I hope that Britt or Hannity or someone plays that clip tonight with a backdrop of a clip of cheering Iraqis kissing our soldiers and pictures of President Bush.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Please send that suggestion to them!

On another note, isn't this basically the same speech he gave in SF that so perplexed the Dems & pundits? Also, this is very close to the recent Gephardt meltdown speech.

I wonder who is authoring these stirring speeches? Hillary or Pelosi?

[floriduh voter]

The democratic party is historically associated with voter fraud. The Republican party hasn't been tough enough in the past to challenge voter fraud by dems. The GOP doesn't have dead voters on their rolls, stuff the ballot box or disenfranchise the military. We weren't driving around with vot-a-matics in our trunks. The GOP didn't alter ballots. Since you have today's talking points, say "hi" to Algor for us. He lies as much as x-42 did and Gore was a poor student partly due to his recreational pursuits. He flunked theology school.

The bottom line is that in 2004, Florida will go to Bush in a landslide because we've shored up voter fraud. It also looks like California will go to Bush after Arnold wins. Voter fraud would have to be on a monumental scale for Arnold to lose.

[BlessedByLiberty]

What do you think is the reasoning behind Davis giving illegals driver licenses? Keep them voting Democratic.

[.cnI redruM]

If only Al 'Quaida' Gore would become a much more private citizen. SO private that his mug and the leakage from his yap weren't showing up on the front page of newspapers anymore.

Keynote address to the Iowa State Democratic Party's 2001
Al Gore Sept. 29, 2001

- - and I picked up, I picked up a bunch of doughnuts at the Handy Mart. And I went to all three gates and spent some time talking with the men and women who are out there walking the picket lines. And one - - at the third gate one man looked at me - - he was a Democrat, hard core Democrat, long time member of organized labor - - and we started talking about the attack September 11th. And he looked at me, just real intently. And he said: ‘Hey. You tell President Bush that there’s a whole lot of Iowans that’ll go if he wants ‘em to. I’ll go,’ he said, ‘I’m a veteran, I’ll go back, if you need help, you let me know.’ That’s what I’ve been hearing in Iowa. We are united behind our President, George W. Bush, behind our country, behind the effort to seek justice not revenge, to make sure this can never ever happen again, and to make sure that we have the strongest unity in America that we have ever had.

(APPLAUSE)

That’s what I’m hearing in Iowa. I see it, and hear it and feel it in every community that I have visited, regardless of party, regardless of ideology, regardless of religion or race or ethnicity. There are no divisions in this country where our response to the war on terrorism is concerned. We are united.

(APPLAUSE)

George W. Bush is my Commander-In-Chief. This country is more united that at any time I can remember in my whole lifetime. And I’m proud of the way that your elected officials here in Iowa have led the way.

(SNIP)

In December of last year, when I spoke to the nation - - the last public speech I made before this one - - I pledged my support to President Bush. And like all of you, I never could have imagined the kind of circumstances that have brought our nation to this point. But I reaffirm again, that as Americans, all of us stand behind our President, our principles, and send a message to the world that we will win this war against terrorism. It’ll be difficult, and it was difficult from the first minute, because we had to deal with the grieving and the terrible emotions at the same time we watched our country begin to organize a response.

[floriduh voter]

No need for a sarcasm tag. This transparent wife of an ex-president is the ultimate clymer. I think she enjoyed the trappings, the pomp and circumstances of the White House and obsesses about it. First emasculate all the men (except Algor who is already there) and then HRC center stage.

[floriduh voter]

If you want, call him Giveout Davis. Ann Coulter was on Hannity & Colmes last night. Apparently, the state workers have pensions that pay 90% of salary. That's just one reason their bankrupt.

The driver's license issue only becomes problematic if they take advantage of Motor Voter laws (started by Clinton). If they start registering to vote but are illegals, then illegal aliens get to vote in our elections.

[riri]

He's Gay, he's got the SSSSS thing going...

It depends on the audience. He's at NYU, so he knows the audience is predominately gay or at least, gay sympathizing.

If he were meeting with a group of lumberjacks in Minnesota, the lisp would be conspicuously gone and the low growly voice would reappear.

The man is downright creepy.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Coulter is right again and there is more to the story. Huge salary increases to the prison guards. My brother worked at San Quentin and at that time, Giveout (thanks love it!) Davis pitted the teachers union against them, giving the teachers union - CTA- the big increase.

When it appeared he wasn't getting the CTA vote, he switched sides giving the guards a huge increase. The pension plan increasea are straining CALPERS to the limit. He's promised more money to more unions and groups than a $2 hooker pandering to the South of Market crowd.

[LibertarianLiz]

There were no cheering Iraqi crowds?

Yeah, that was the line that made me hit the off button on the remote. He is listing things, and I'm like, "what?, what?". Then, the "and the cheering crowds in Iraq didn't materialize"; and I was just incensed. Al Gore, giving his view from whatever la-la land he resides in at the moment.
