Run, Al, Run!
IBD ^ | October 12, 2007

Posted on 10/12/2007 5:24:15 PM PDT by Kaslin

Politics: For burning lots of jet fuel spreading panic around the globe, Al Gore gets a Nobel Peace Prize. But if he really thinks his global warming theory could withstand public scrutiny, why not run for president?


The former vice president is supposedly the greatest debater in the world. CNN's "Larry King Live" saw him wipe the floor with Ross Perot on NAFTA in 1993. He also out-soundbited Jack Kemp in the 1996 vice-presidential debate.

But in 2000, an unlikely challenger — a Texan given to mangling language — was to puncture Gore's aura of invincibility. Al's sighs of impatience while debating George W. Bush symbolized the frustration of the liberal elite when confounded by simple horse sense.

Maybe those seven-year-old chinks in his armor are why Gore steadfastly refuses to debate climate experts who challenge his alarmist hypotheses. As the Cato Institute's Patrick Michaels points out: "The fact is that Al has ducked, feinted, dived away from, or fluffed each and every opportunity for a reasoned debate with any global warming scientist not of his choice."

Earlier this year, Gore at the last minute scaredy-catted out of an interview with Denmark's biggest newspaper and "Skeptical Environmentalist" author Bjorn Lomborg. Gauntlets have also been thrown down by Cato and Chicago's Heartland Institute.

Al Gore won’t run, not as a Democrat, Independent, nor a Green. The Clintons simply won’t let him. This is Hillary’s turn and they wouldn’t allow Gore to mess it up, no way.

I’m wondering how much they’ll pay Nader to stay out of it. If I were him, I’d ask for a mint. The Denver one would do.

Al is only partially stupid. He knows his faux earth science crisis cannot stand the scrutiny of real science — and would shatter his partially-crafted scam to bilk taxpayers and other money sources of their booty to both save the world, and enrich his “carbon offset” company efforts. What a joke and what a con-artist.

Yes Al, you are alot like Hitlery. She cannot stand the light of factual debate either. That is WHY both of you will not debate credible people. You are both liars and scam artists. OK, now it gets down to who can outlie who....maybe if Al can outlie Hitlery, he might get the nomination. Afterall, that is the basis for getting liberal votes -— lies, deciet, fraud, and the redistribution of wealth for the aquisition of POWER. The good part of the story is that the world knows it.

Who knows? Before it is all over, Algore may do more harm to mankind as a private citizen than he could have done from the White House. Imagine what he could accomplish with a brain.

AlGore puts himself in for the Nobel, then pats himslf on the back for receiving it.
Reminds me of my neighbor’s dog, he keeps licking himself. Other neighbors used to laugh, but then they don’t notice anymore. He’s just a dog and can’t be helped. AlGore is just a liberal, he can’t help it. It’s not mental illness when you’re a liberal.

On the left, those who love Algore love him very passionately. I don't think Hillery gets that kind of admiration from anyone. She may think it is her turn to be anointed POTUS, I think she is in for a rude awakening.

LOL, this is going to be an interesting few months. Perhaps this is the October surprise waiting to happen.

Reminds me of an episode of Barney Miller, when a college student is arrested for constructing and possessing a contraption which (in the students's own words): "only lacks the fissionable material necessary for it to operate for its intended function" .....

An Atomic Bomb, of course ....

At the end of the episode, the kid remarks to Barney: "Last year I got a C in physics ... can you imagine what the ones who got A's and B's could do?"

I think the “rude awakening” is going to be by conservatives who seem to think that the public does not want HRC — the public may not particularly want HRC, but it wants BC and will do “whatever it takes” to make that happen.

HRC, as you put it, is perhaps the most hated candidate in history. People may like or dislike the other candidates for many reasons, but you cant ignore the extreme negative emotion many have for her. This may prove to be a very motivating force when push comes to shove.

My long-shot scenario has passed its first stage. Now, the timing...to let the buzz spread and the pressure build behind a "Draft BIG AL" movement, and a grand entry as the hero announces he cannot disappoint the millions of little people wo are counting on him...just in time to enter the primaries of January. YouTube will feature a covert video clip of Hillary taking a bite from the rim of her martini glass as she listens to the announcement...weeping and gnashing of teeth from the Osama and Breckgirl camps.

The Bore is NOT goin' run. Just before this glowarmers movie debut...someone ask his daughter and she said NEVER. Then the rapist and bore met a few weeks back...and it was described like long lost friends are together again. The rapist was sent to bore to ask that question...are you planning on running for President....bore reassured the rapist and shim...he would NOT run for president.

The dems hate knowing that shim will be their nominee...and would love bore to run 'cause they know shim will not win the election and their only great hope left is bore.

No Al! Let Hillary! run by herself. Without competition she'll grow weak and ineffective. The Republicans need a good horse race to sharpen the skills of whoever wins the nomination. The Shrill will wilt under the pressure and debates no matter how hard the media tries to help her.

I think Algor will run, with John F Kerry as vice.

Kerry said he wouldn’t support a candidate that was not trying to save Earth, when he announced he was not currently running.

Gore-Kerry 08 would mean you could overturn the terrible injustice of the last two [stolen] elections, and save Earth’s entire thin, fragile biosphere, with one vote.

Run, Algor!

I kid you not....Perusing the DUmmie threads today and literally half of them were regarding Gwhore and his prize. It is beyond idol worship and entering the area of truly bizarre. That being said, DU is very extreme, but one can figure that the Gwore worship among the non-DU (ab)normal lib crowd is at least half as much. God I hope he runs. And like you I am hoping it as a third party candidate. But I have my doubts that he is that stupid.

“On the left, those who love Algore love him very passionately. I don’t think Hillery gets that kind of admiration from anyone.”

I know that people adore Algore and have high hopes for him. But the Clintons surely have mechanisms in place to prevent him opposing Hillary, and have for years. Gore knows this, even if it hasn’t been specifically spelled out for him. However, he can and will continue to tease in order to get more and more money out of his followers. Pathetic.

There is already a sustantial effort undersay in the Bay area to Draft the Goracle, and now that he has the Nobel, they are bound to be simply insufferable.

Babs Boxer is behind the movement, and the Hildebeest cannot be pleased. No doubt Willie is meeting somewhere in Harlem with minions of the Arkansas Mafia. so AlGore would be wise to maintain a low profile in Oslo...

Al isn’t the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree, so people might actually buy that he choked on that Nobel medallion, trying to see if it really had a yummy chocolate center...

Be careful what you wish for. Algore would be very formidable, and would have a great deal of sympathy that She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named will not have.

This has to be very frustrating for Al Gore. Here he is, raised by a professional politic and groomed to expect that he would become President, only to be forced to be 2nd banana to a clown from Arkansas with a few personal problems. Then, he has to stand on the sidelines while the clown's wife takes a run at Al's "birthright".

It would be enough to make many a man end up face-down in Fort Marcy Park. OF course, Al is so round he would probably end up rolling over on his side.

That’s interesting. Boxer’s daughter was once married to HRC’s hapless brother. Maybe there is tension there. But I think their socialist sisterhood would bind them together in eternity.
