With meek and spineless Democrats incapable of putting up anything more than a holographic opposition to the fascist BushCo regime, aging progressives like me are wondering if were gonna be forced to spend the rest of our more-than-half-lived lives watching moronic and myopic BushCo regressives and their ideologically twisted descendants kill, maim, and tax-cut their way to universal one-party American political rule.
When the best Dems have to offer is the angry Hillary Clinton or a recycled John Kerry, surely all hope is lost. Theres little chance Id vote for Clinton after her hawkish stance on the war and the embarrassing way she pandered to wingnuts on flag-burning (is there a bigger non-issue?). As for Kerry? Are you kidding? I was awake in 2004.
Most frustrating is knowing what the Dems have to do to win. And not just win, but literally sweep this cartel of traitors and criminals out of office en masse. Its such a no-brainer, I cant believe its not regularly trumpeted across the land. Even though sometimes the story pops its head out, the silence from the all-but-state-run MSM is fairly deafening.
The solution to Democratic woes? Run Al Gore in 2008. The guy cant lose unless, of course, he reinvents the Internet, gets caught with a dead girl or a live boy. But those latter two would involve a kidnapping, Demerol, and a compliant hooker not beyond the realm of Rovian possibility, just not very likely.
Why am I so convinced Gore would be all but unbeatable? Many reasons, actually.
First, the specter of Bill Clinton has completely faded away. In fact, most people are pining away for those halcyon days where America had a middle class and an economy that worked. Private office blow-jobs, even in the White House, are just so passé. And if the regressives think they can dig up that old spunk-stained blue dress and flog it some more in light of all their boys criminal treason and cronyism, then theyre in for a world of political hurt.
Second, the Gore closet is relatively skeleton-free. The best the regressives had on him they used in 2000. There just aint nothin left. And when you consider that what they did use turned out to be typical regressive lies and bullshit, how would they attack him this time around? Sure, Rove will make up lies as he goes along, but hell be preaching largely to the brain-dead already converted über-regressive choir.
Third, hell be guaranteed the sympathy vote. Everybody with a functioning brain knows he kicked regressive ass in 2000 and that BushCo was never legally elected but illegally installed with a 5-4 Supreme Embarrassment vote after Bush-loving regressives went wah, wah, wah all the way to Court. What better way to reward Gores patience by giving him what was rightfully his all along?
Fourth, there is the general perception that Gore has never waffled on his stance on the war. Even though the truth, as laid bare in The Rhetoric of Al Gore: Not to Be Trusted by Joshua Frank, posted on Dissident Voice and elsewhere, is less than flattering, Gore has maintained the illusion of a consistent opposition to the Iraq War from Day 1. He obviously knows that BushCo was for many months manufacturing its case (the only manufacturing jobs left in the US anymore) for a bogus war designed solely to enrich whatever corporations have their heads furthest up BushCos ass. And since we learned from BushCo that everythings perception, we can let some myths work for us for a change.
The fifth reason is his fairly consistent and outspoken criticism of BushCos more horrendous policies. Gore gets high marks and standing Os practically everywhere he speaks because hes been taking BushCo to task either for lying us into an unwinnable war or illegally spying on us. Both are seriously big issues that Gore can hammer home and repeat ad nauseum till the general public starts to get that BushCos raison dêtre is to royally screw them, even if it means acting like terrorists to do it.
Sixth, regressive scandals are piling up higher than the dead bodies of innocent Iraqi women and children. Any Democrat who cant get beaucoup mileage out of the regressives pathological criminal behavior and mass murders should turn in their Magic Democratic Decoder Ring. Again, constant repetition of the traitor/liar/war criminal meme can only help. If there one thing Americans understands, its stuff thats been told to them a bazillion times.
Finally, Gore can easily paint himself as a man of the middle class by attacking BushCos blatant cronyism and wealthy corporate favoritism, which have resulted in BushCos killing almost 3,000 American soldiers in Iraq, ruined the US economy for at least a generation, sold off American security to the highest foreign bidder, and completely leveled one American city. Its safe to say that, after Katrina, well be able to count on one hand the number of American Blacks who vote regressive.
So DLC/DNC take heed. A Gore candidacy would put the White House in the bag and run the regressive crooks out of town.
Now if we could just do something about those pesky voting machines
Couldn't lose what?
His hatred of GWB.
Weight
I want some of what that guy's been smokin'
God bless our troops wherever they may be.
My, such an angry young man Mr Snyder is.
He needs to get back on his meds, along with Al Gore
Al Gore has had two bites at the apple and couldn't get it done. He can't even win in his home state. I feel old just going over this crap again.
Well, if GWB wasn't elected in 2000, that means he can run again in 2008. :-).
Remember, the real vote on the Supreme Court was 7-2 that Florida had to obey its own voting law no matter what the Florida Supreme Court pulled out of its backside.
".....Now if we could just do something about those pesky voting machines

Yeah, like try and rig them in your favor, steal them and have them found in your DNC vans. Slash the tires and vandalize GOP Van-Pools?
Filthy Dems.
I could swear this was written by über-fag Mark Morford.
"Second, the Gore closet is relatively skeleton-free."
Except for some illegal Chinese campaign contributions that is.
One thing I give this guy, he is correct in that Gore is a better choice than either Clinton or Kerry and he can generate the contributions as well as either.
Problem is he has been out of politics for eight years, which also might be a good thing because few moderate RATS will remember him.
A Gore/Richardson ticket can be dangerous. Hillary offers nothing except to hold on to the same states as Kerry did.
On the other hand.......I have five fingers.
He makes is sound as if W is running again and he will be the force to be reckoned with in '08.
This faggot has got to be delusional.
Can you imagine the hours of video the RNC must have of algore repeating all of the DUmmie talking points. If Rove thinks hillary and dean look angry, what must algore look like on video.
"He betrayed this country, he played on our fears." Picture Gore shouting this on commercials 24/7. And that during the primaries.
Amazing. Stunning. I'm flabergasted.
Just imagine what kind of twisted warped cocoon world this loon has to love in to, He must,
A: Believe Gore is a good choice.
B: Believe Gore can win (including beating Hillary).
C: Believe the majority of Americans have sympathy or lost love for Al Gore.
These are the nutbags who are tyring to take over the Democratic party and in my opinion have a 1:5 shot of accomplishing their suicidal goal.
You better believe that if the GOP loses the House (I don't think it will happen) these moonbat nuts will work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in an attempt to impeach Bush.
Hey, super. President Cheney, here we come.
Comrade Snyder doesn't seem to appreciate the significance of the fact that The Former Twelfth Lady has a copy of algore's FBI file....and his 201 file.I,for one,have never heard why algore,the son a powerful democRAT Senator,didn't do a full tour in SE Asia.
You got that right. Check out the oped news site, the special feature to the right of the column, that the WTC collapses were controlled demolitions. Some BYU physics prof and other nutcases. Bullhockey. Horsebubbles. Inane prattle. Bathos.
