Have at it. Gore got a shot?
And who are you supporting (so far) in the '08 race (if anyone)?

Keith,
I think you made a typo, it should read trial buffoon.
That shill has a 10000 sqft mansion that uses 20 times the amount of energy as the average american home and he wants me to buy those expensive flourescent lights.
None.
McCain = too liberal.
Giuliani = too liberal.
Romney = too Mormon.
Hillary = EVIL
Obama = wacko
Gore = wacko
We're fucked.
On the Dem side watch Gore jump in. On the Rep side watch Bloomberg and Fred Thompson jump in. Although Bloomberg might just run as an independent, and finance his own campaign.
The field is not the field yet, especially on the Rep side - what a field of losers. More to come.
But oh, what a mess the winner will have on his hands.
(and yes, I intentionally said "his" because there's no way in hell Hillary wins)
Obama on the left. Thompson on the right. And Bloomberg in the center. That'd be an interesting race.
Hey, it's been the private equity bubble which has been juicing the stock market. It's been evident in all of the M&A activity, and it's even bigger than the housing bubble. CNBC reported yesterday The Carlyle Group sent out a piece to their memebrs saying there's enough liquidity in the system to keep things going for 1 more year, but thereafter...
Gore again?!? Oh c'mon, he had his shot in 2000 and he lost..er well he sort of...ummmm... Well OK then. He kinda won in a way but don't tell George Jr.
As far as the field for '08, who cares. It will just be more of the same. We are so screwed.
JAFO
Dude Hillary is way too powerful to discount, sorry. Your boy Obama is a side of gravy compared to the Clinton war machine. Whoever called the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasty plot a few months back was dead on. The Bush win was masterminded by the Clintons' for this very purpose -- Kerry/Edwards '04... what a Joke. Everyone else is part of the side act.
And Thompson is drumming up this cancer thing as a cop out. I would be too - I'd rather be acting in L&O and livin it up Hollywood than going up against that. "Yes, no that's not a pimple that's lymphoma, now leave me the F alone."
Guys, you better arm yourselves with iron cups, cause the ball bustin days are coming...
Obama and Gore are too rightwing. The rest are every day reminders I'm so glad I don't live in the US.
RON PAUL
our only hope
Why not/ I don't know about you guys but I have a major case of Hillary fatigue. Where does here reputation for being smart come from? Everytime she speakds it just platitudes and cue cards--am I missing something here? Al would be o.k. as would Obama. Frankly they are all lame but I think a policy of ABH--anybody but hillary is a wise move. Really, are you not sick of hearing here shrill voice utter cliches, those big teeth and condesending nod---Ugghhhhhhhhhhhh.
I don't think it's even gonna matter at this point.
"Obama and Gore are too rightwing."
You really have no idea of what "rightwing" means, do you?
" The rest are every day reminders I'm so glad I don't live in the US. "
I, too, am glad you don't live here, so stay the hell out!
I also believe he will enter the race, but I don't think he has a chance. He has tried to position himself as 1) THE environmentalist candidate and 2) a great thinker. We have seen the latest info on his environmental scams and Gore's military records show that his IQ is less than GW Bush's. Watch the CIC (Clinton Industrial Complex) jump all over these "issues" when Gore enters the race.
Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that it might be necessary for America to confront Iran militarily, addressing that possibility more directly than any of the other presidential candidates who spoke this week to the National Jewish Democratic Council.
Clinton first said that the US should be engaging directly with Iran to foil any effort to gain nuclear weapons and faulted the Bush administration for "considerably narrowing" the options available to America in countering Iran.

Iran's deputy interior minister, Muhammad Baqer Zolqadr, said Thursday that his country would attack Israel and American targets throughout the world if Teheran were attacked over its nuclear program, Israel Radio reported.
According to the official Iranian news agency, the official, who deals with defense issues, said that no American would be safe from Iran's long-range missiles.
"We are prepared to fire tens of thousands of these missiles every day," he said.

As a republican (someone who believes in fiscal responsibility and worships the freedoms of the Constitution in the same way the freaky Bible Beaters worship the Old Testament), I feel that the only important thing that happens in 2008 is that the Democrats take the Whitehouse. I'm not cynical enough to want to see the economy fall apart on their watch, I just want the Republicans to understand that their shameless spending is unacceptable.
LOL! The inventor of the Internet. Perfect! END SARCASM!!!!!

Ron Paul!
You really have no idea of what "rightwing" means, do you?
Gore is a fiscal conservative.
As long as he insists on his "old school" style of campaigning, which is derived from his father's day, and not acting his natural self, which is a "guy you'd invite over for barbeque", then history is likely to repeat itself and he will lose.
I thought Inconvenient Truth was in large part an indictment of the System. That Gore was going to work from grass roots rather than top-down.
Gore: not his time. He is vindicaated in a sense, but Americans are always searching for a fresh face. That's not Al. Plus he ran a timid campaign in 2000. Hard core Dems won't want to bet on him again.
Hillary: I still don't understand her appeal, but if she gets the nomination she probably wins the presidency. No matter whom they nominate, the Reps have a lot to overcome in the public's mind. Maybe Giuliani could beat her.
Obama: A fresh face for sure. Was a naysayer on the war from day one. Consensus builder.
Bill Richardson: a governor with very strong foreign policy experience. Also a consensus builder. Watch him if Obama falters.
Bloomberg: a very smart, talented, level-headed guy. Good long range thinker. Is he really in it?

Marky Mark
I believe your thinking of Kerry. Kerry had worse grades at Yale and 1 IQ point less than Bush. Gore had good grades and started going to seminary after graduation (not to be a priest though).
anonymous 12:58 pm:
Your point?
I have read that Bushie's I.Q. is 92, and historians' conjectures that Lincoln's I.Q. was 140. I don't believe either, for various reasons.
But what numerical difference could begin to explain what makes Bush America's worst President and Lincoln its greatest, both by leaps and bounds?

Should be one awesome CONCERT!
Keep on ROCKING AL GORE!!!!
Roger Waters is AWESOME! Pink Floyd's Co-Founder Vocalist/Writer/Bass Player
You have got to be kidding...Gore is such a hypocrite!
We are supporting McCain, speaks his mind, means what he says, doesn't just follow the party line. Would be great on foreign policy.
Small Hat
But oh, what a mess the winner will have on his hands.
Yeah keith, right, you are flamebait. The poor winner, who had nothing whatsoever to do with screwing up this country will have a mess on his hands. Oh boo hoo for the winner. They have been screwing up this country and kissing PTB butt for all their lives. Boo fricken hoo for the winner who will get blamed. I got news for you, whoever wins is to blame, no matter who it is. These guys didn't just sharpen their pencil, they have been giving us the big corporate green wienie all their lives.
American with their wide streak of white trash genes and culture don't have the depth to appreciate the benefits of a President Al Gore.
The only way Hillary can win as President is if Bill runs as Vice President. People want the 90's back and not bad luck W. Perhaps, John Edwards as President and Hillary as Vice President. Hillary can not carry the South alone. Maybe New York is ready for a woman or black President, but middle America is not ready.
Amazing...only one other poster stated RON PAUL.
Yeah, let's get on the pendulum...let's go back to the "left" aka "socialists". Wonderful...
Ron Paul for Pres
I'm tired of voting for the lesser evil. Time to vote for what I want.

Obama: A fresh face for sure. Was a naysayer on the war from day one. Consensus builder.
FAKE CANDIDATE. INVENTED BY THE MEDIA. NOT QUALIFIED AND STANDS FOR NOTHING (that is what you libs call a consensus builder)
Bill Richardson: a governor with very strong foreign policy experience. Also a consensus builder. Watch him if Obama falters.
HIS FOREIGN POLICY IS TO LET LA RAZA RECONQUISTA THE US SOUTHWEST. HE WANT TO BE THE PRES OF THE UNITED STATES OF MEXICO.
Bloomberg: a very smart, talented, level-headed guy. Good long range thinker. Is he really in it?
SCUMBAG FACIST, PRO TAX, PRO REGULATION, PRO ANYTHING THAT REDUCES FREEDOM AND GROW GOV'T (you libs call this 'level headed')
HOW DO YOU LIBS GET SO F'ING STUPID???
GOOGLE THE 'US CONSITUTION' AND READ. GO LEARN SOME PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM AND LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
THEN GO STUDY NAZI GERMANY, AND SEE THAT THE LEFT WANTS TO REVISIT THAT IN THE U.S. WITH A '1984' SPIN ON IT.
I would like to think someone could save us from what is coming when the current system unwinds.
Our fate is sealed. The next prez will take heat for not doing enough whoever it is.
When bush realizes his legacy is toast, I hope he slinks of to his ranch and drinks himself to death.
Keith,
You have been out of the country too long. There is no way Gore can get elected this go around becasue the ONLY THING that matters here is how to end the war? Nothing else can move forward without the end game in Iraq playing out. Global warmeing maybe important but it is like what Clinton said to Bush the elder "It's the war stupid"
RUDI.
Loved him on September 10.
He was a real SOB who took on the unions, the mob, and the race baiters.
He'll stand up!
Too Liberal?
Not for me. I would love to get those bloated God squaders out of my party. Choose one as a running mate if you have to.
Jail criminals.
Kill terrorists.
Let me keep my money.
I'll take care of the rest.
Al Gore? YES! The White House needs composting toilets and a carbon-neutral kitchen. After we get our priorities straight, everything else will fall in place.
The posts here demonstrate pretty sadly how un-United the states of America are these days.
What a joke!
Jesus, are we really all about polarizing "liberal" and "conservative"?
Here's a new rule:
Be f***ing specific! Before you spout off about "too liberal" this and "too conservative" that, have the intelligence and common courtesy to mention what issue you are talking about!
Giuliani is "too liberal"?
Well, not about crime, illegal immigration and islamic terrorism.
Not about U.S. energy policy either.
Maybe about gay civil unions, yes.
But if we Americans think that is the ultimate source of the U.S.' national and society problems, then we are all stoned.
What I like about Rudy is that he's not in the pocket of the religous right maniacs Dobson, Robertson and that Liberty University-we've-got-a-6000-year-old-dinosaur-bone-on-display-here-Moral Majority dickweed.
Guliani is not perfect, and I don't have my mind made up yet, but he's got to be a front runner vs. McCain, Romney and Hillary.
Anybody but a republican. If you want to see predatory capitalism given more freedom to screw you then vote republican.
I wouldn't piss on a republican on fire much less vote for one.
This place has a lot of smart people. Check out Ron Paul, see what you think about him.

Debt and Taxes
Working Americans like lower taxes. So do I. Lower taxes benefit all of us, creating jobs and allowing us to make more decisions for ourselves about our lives. (more...)
American Independence and Sovereignty
So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. (more...)
War and Foreign Policy
The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. (more...)
Border Security and Immigration Reform
The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan: (more...)
Privacy and Personal Liberty
The biggest threat to your privacy is the government. We must drastically limit the ability of government to collect and store data regarding citizens’ personal matters. (more...)
Property Rights and Eminent Domain
We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches. (more...)
"Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss." What's the difference?
I'll third that, RON PAUL.
I hope that at least he is "allowed" to participate in some debates so that masses of sheeple can be exposed to a little truth & sanity.
Keefer,
puleeze, my house is getting a fever just thinking about Gore.
way to much southern 'beans and greens' in his diet,
causing huge farts, and adding all kinds of gases to the environment.
Geeeez, my lawn mower just got a fever.
i'd be interested in either bloomberg, dennis kucinich or ron paul...
Ron Paul!
He has not broken through the MSM filters. His only chance is to get to people via the internet.
He is calling for people to blog for his site. Calling all intelligent people!
http://www.dailypaul.com/
The Republicans and Democrats are nothing but a dog and pony show. A narcotic elixar to keep your minds off the really big picture. Reading a few comments, I see we have sheeple among us.
GO RON PAUL!
Hey. Isn't that a photo of the guy who won the Presidential election in 2000 ? Wasn't his name Al or something?
>>>Obama on the left. Thompson on the right. And Bloomberg in the center.<<<
Keith, as a New Yorker I can tell you that Bloomie is not in the Center. His anti-gun, anti-smoking, anti-TransFat crusades make him a Nanny-State Liberal. Now he wants to charge working people $8 a day to drive into Midtown Manhattan. The city has a 4.9 billion dollar surplus, and yet NYPD cops are by far the lowest paid in the area making about %30 less than other cops in the NYC Metro area. The guy is handing guns and badges to whatever warm body he can find.
http://www.freezerbox.com/archive/article.php?id=493
This guy is totally out of touch with the working man and woman. He has ZERO chance at being President.
Noooooo, Al Gore is unelectable.

No, that's just flat wrong. You've bought into the left-wing disinformation campaign.
The lefties are fond of saying that Bush stole the election. No such thing happened. The Dems TRIED to steal the election via the Florida Supreme Court. When that failed, they claimed that W stole the election via the US Supreme Court.
Ron Paul is unelectable because he speaks the truth about our nation's economy. A truth-telling politician is against the laws of nature, so his body's molecules will spontaneously implode sometime soon. Or he'll be assassinated.
"Hey, it's been the private equity bubble which has been juicing the stock market"
I think this bubble may be the result of "smart money" getting into cash generating businesses that have a hope of still making money in severe economic times. For example, I don't think the Hearst family suffered much during the depression.
"American with their wide streak of white trash genes and culture don't have the depth to appreciate the benefits of a President Al Gore."
oh man. Just like the American's don't have the "depth" to appreciate what Carter brought to the white house?
Some previous poster said that the war in Iraq is the biggest issue in politics today.
It probably is but it shouldn't be. We will long for these days if we continue down the financial path of ruin we are on. None of the current aspiring cast of clowns wants to make that the focus of their campaign, though doing so would likely get my vote (assuming the candidate is not a total idiot).
In Iraq we need to either commit or get out. The terrorists weren't there when we invaded but they are there now. Right now we are just spanking the monkey, even with the "surge". To commit would be to put 200,000 - 300,000 more troops in iraq and take care of business, make this a war and get the whole population engaged in it. If we can't commit to it (draft?) then admit that we are a bunch of late sipping pansies and get out. If not, then commit and sweep through Iraq like we swept through germany.
There are few things I hate more than a waffler and that is what we are doing in Iraq.
Obama/Stewart '08
Gore, Hillary, Obama, are what we'd consider old school moderate Republicans back in the day before the Neocons. Giuliani is considered a moderate Republican now but back in the day he would have been labeled a staunch Republican.
The Neocons have really shifted everything to the Right, thanks, in large part by politicizing the Religious Right. Folks like Kucinich are truly liberal but they don't have a chance.
The greatest snakeoil salesman of our time!!!!!
Ron Paul
I've voted Democrat my whole life. But this time I'm going with Ron Paul.
Why? Because he's the only one who doesn't seem to pander and ki$$ a$$. And what he says makes sense.
At this point, anyone with plain old common sense has got my vote. I pray americans will get off the 2 party bandwagon and business as usual and just go with Ron Paul.
We have nothing to lose at this point by going with an outsider. Nothing to lose at all.
Ron Paul for President. Hopin' and prayin'.
Thankyou Anon 10:46 for the Ron Paul synopsis. Yes, he's the only one that could even BEGIN to clean up this mess. Or at least prevent it from cascading into something even worse than we could imagine.
He's got integrity, common sense and respect for the Constitution and individual rights. He's as steady as they come and on the side of the PEOPLE.
Frankly, I do not think there is one other candidate in the mix, from either party, who is so firmly on OUR side versus the "corporations and the Federal Government".
And get this, he was one of only a handful who voted to NOT go into Iraq? How gutzty was that? When all the other pols were either too stupid or too scared of being called "unpatriotic" to vote "NO" on Iraq, he DID it! Do we really need some idiot who voted us into Iraq to be PRESIDENT next? I think not.
I believe he's the ONLY candidate who would DARE to stand up for the American people over the corporations.
If Americans vote him into office, my faith in Americans will be restored. I think he's the only candidate who can get us headed down a path to healing.
If he took on Obama as a VP, I think they'd make a great pair! Ron Paul for his down to earth common sense as the front leader and Obama as an optomistic, faithful guy who brings up the rear but has little real power.
Ron Paul for President/ Barack Obama for Vice President! I can dream can't I?!

Hey. Isn't that a photo of the guy who won the Presidential election in 2000 ? Wasn't his name Al or something?
I think you remember him from stuffing $50,000 into his pockets while visiting some friendly Buddists.
You know I was watching the Repub. response on C-Span about the "surrender bill".
I can't take this anymore, I feel like I'm watching the equivalent of political white trash fight on Dr. Phil. Meaning the primary focus of their energy isn't solving problems or leading, but making sure they get the last trivial shot in (using the political consultant's $100,000 adjective of the day of course) . This goes for both sides of the aisle.
This is what happens when you have a bunch of spoiled frat boys running things. Iraq was just another high school stage where they expected to control the student gov't and invite all the cool people to the next keg party at Bill's (Kristols). The rest of the kids were supposed to fall in line and wish they could "really fit in with those guys from America."
I'm serious, this is about as sophisticated as it gets in the world view of a neocon.
And the Dems couldn't make this transparent before the war? That's why they're so ineffectual.
I really don't care who wins. I'll wait for the third party president in 2012.
None of the above.
Lou Dobbs. Too bad he's not running.

Yup. He can retire to that big ranch of his in Paraguay (next door to his daddy). No extradition treaty with the USA to worry about either. But the other 300 million US citizens are going to be stuck with the bill for his loony right wing nonsense.

Anybody but a republican. If you want to see predatory capitalism given more freedom to screw you then vote republican.
I wouldn't piss on a republican on fire much less vote for one.

My sentiments exactly.
That looks like a staged (posed) photo......how pathetic!
Vanity of Vanities...all is Vanity!
Apparently you guys fail to recognize the power of the "Clintons". Hillary will be your next president. Much better than these bunch of corrupt Republicans who have been destroying this country and the entire world.
Republicans = corruption, scandals, incompetence, wars, treating soldiers like crap (Walter Reed), bubbles everywhere, poverty and crime increasing, deficit skyrocketing, selling their mothers to the Chinese and Saudi Arabia, Cristian pastor freaks who take amphetamines to party with male prostitutes, firing of US Attorneys because they won't do dirty tricks for Karl Rove, the biggest increase of immigrant population (to buy more cars, to consume more oil, to eat more junk food, to depress wages that benefit corporations and Bush's cronies), and the list goes on and on. Go ahead, vote for another Republican and continue to destroy the country and be China's bitches.
Can we have one fucking election without a Gore a Bush or a Clinton?
Well thank God we have the 'Pure as the wind driven snow' democrats, because we all know how honest and upright they are!
They don't call him 'Slick Willie' for nothin ya know!
Would you like to talk about Ted Kennedy......Hmmm?
Hey I'm steamed over the Republicans......but
You Democrats are a truly laughable bunch!
Hypocrits like Clinton, Gore, Reed, Kennedy....yada yada!
Any group that wants abortion on demand, killing of the most innocent,
but, will fight to stop the death penalty for the worst society has to offer!
Brilliant!!!!
You worship the environment, hug a tree. You idiots worship the creation....not the Creator!
There is nothing higher than your self-indulged ideals!
You will gladly give a man a fish so he can eat for the day, but you will not teach him how to fish so he will be self-sufficient for a lifetime.
You hung on every word spoken by Clinton and that carbon based asshole Gore.....Two of the Biggest Hucksters to come down the pike!!!
You were constantly lied to by your party....but you still blindly gave your devotion to a very corrupt regime, i.e. Whitewater, Vince Foster, Somolia, Mogadishu, Cattlegate (Hillarys futures investments) Monica the humidor, missle tech to China and this global warming horseshit is just too much!
You are bunch of lemmings being led blindly by the most Godless bunch imaginable! Enjoy!
Here's another incompetent and corrupt Republican who got busted this week. He was another one of Bush's cronies, which held a high position of Ambassador, while partying with YOUR TAX MONEY. Pay attention to his previous job: worked for the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, and now trying to push drugs, disguised as "Aid", to the rest of the world, at your tax money expense. These crooks transfer your tax money to the pockets of pharmaceutical companies, with the excuse that they are giving "aid" to the poor, just like all those illegal contracts in Iraq from Bush's cronies. Can you add 2 and 2, sheeple? Meanwhile, the US has the most expensive healthcare system and drugs in the world, with 40% of population without any health insurance. The pharmaceutical companies continue to get richer at your expense. As usual, the White House made the announcement on Friday evening, so sheeple like you wouldn't pay any attention, while you are all too tired of spinning that hamster wheel, or too busy buying Chinese crap from the Wal-Mart. Are you guys keeping count of all the scandals since Bush took office? Keep voting Republican...you guys are geniuses! I know, I know, you Republicans struggling to get by, think that it gives some status of sophistication or superiority by saying "I'm a Republican". All those inbred toothless freaks in the red states consider themselves Republicans too. Go figure, getting hammered day after day by Republican crooks, yet continuing to kiss their butts because of a stupid ideology that doesn't exist in Washington anymore. Keep dreaming and feeling "special" when you call yourself a Republican. It's only in your head. Here's one of your leaders, hard at work...with the prostitutes, there is. Pay up, suckers!
"AP - Randall Tobias, head of the Bush administration's foreign aid programs, abruptly resigned Friday after his name surfaced in an investigation into a high-priced call-girl ring, said two people in a position to know the circumstances of his departure.
Tobias submitted his resignation a day after he was interviewed by ABC News for an upcoming program about an alleged prostitution service run by the so-called D.C. Madam.
ABC reported on its Web site late Friday that Tobias confirmed that he had called the Pamela Martin and Associates escort service to have women come to his condo and give him massages. More recently, Tobias told the network, he has been using a service with Central American women.
Tobias, 65, who is married, told ABC News there had been "no sex" during the women's visits to his condo. His name was on a list of clients given to ABC by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who owns the escort service and has been charged with running a prostitution ring in the nation's capital.
Tobias held two titles: director of U.S. foreign assistance and administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development. His rank was equivalent to deputy secretary of state.
Rice named Tobias to head the two programs in January 2006, and on Wednesday was at the White House, where President Bush praised his efforts coordinating global AIDS relief. Tobias had been the White House's coordinator for global AIDS relief before taking the USAID post.
Before joining the administration, Tobias was a director and chairman of Eli Lilly and Co., the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company."
most people take an IQ test when they are young, you have to take into account the years of hard core drinking and drugs use that most likely destroyed most of Bush's brain cells
yeah, and Clinton never inhaled!
Have I told you that the referred Bush's appointee, Randall Tobias, the pharma drug pusher at your tax money expense, promoted sex abstinence and a policy requiring grant recipients to "swear" they oppose prostitution. Yep, that was his program overseeing AIDS relief: buying overpriced drugs from pharma with your tax money and creating a phony market so they can increase earnings. Here we have another Republican Ambassador hypocrite, Bush's close pal, paying $300 / hour to prostitutes from Central America, with tax payer money, while defending sex abstinence and while his wife stays home waiting to get a VD or Hepatitides C from her big shot Republican Ambassador in charge of Aids program. With th help of your stupid and naive vote, this mafia took over the government and it's destroying the entire planet, while advocating "family values" and Cristianism, just like that leader evangelical pastor who likes to take meta-amphetamines during rough sex with a male gay prostitute. Like I said it before, keep being a sheeple, let the mafia in the White House manipulate you, keep believing that Republican ideology still exists, continue to watch Fox News, keep being China's and Karl Rove's bitches. No wonder only 16% of Americans have a bachelor's degree. Booooooo, the bogeyman terrorist is gonna get you, even though more people die by drowning in a bath tube in the US, per year, than by terrorists. Go take a statistics class at the local community college, before you let Cheney and Karl Rove manipulate you. BTW, Jesus freaks, wasn't the world suppose to end today, according to the religious mafia? What's the new excuse this time for not ending, the weather?
