:blink: :blink: :blink: :angry: I'TS TIME TO GET OVER IT FOLKS!!!!!! Okie Dokie? And it is 'NOW TIME" TO THINK ABOUT "November" :?: :?: :?: UNLESS....."of course"......YOU WOULD LIKE GEORGE BUSH AND HIS ASSHOLE FRIENDS TO HAVE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS :?:

Have an good day.....................Andrew Paul / FreeBird

Freebird, with all due respect (and you know I love ya, man!), I don't think people are either with us or against us (Democrats) if they still want Al Gore. We're just expressing our frustration and our certain knowledge that, hands down, Gore is the best person for the job. That doesn't mean we're not going to vote for Kerry. It just means we still wish we had Gore. I think we need to welcome ALL into the fold, as long as they understand that it's imperative to get Bush out in November. I don't think the people who posted here are saying they won't vote for Kerry because they want Gore. At least I hope that's not what they're saying. I believe that Gore wants more than anything to get Bush out in November. I believe, at this point, that he wants that even more than he wants to be president himself. So we will try our damnedest to get Kerry in, but if that effort fails, we will be here again, on the morning of Nov. 3, ready to start working again for Gore.

Dear Earthmother :) "with ALL respect to you also" :good: (sorry, I am feeling frustrated today...btw)!!!! Failure CAN NOT be an option (I think) in my opinion! There is SO MUCH AT STAKE! I LOVE Al Gore and everything he believes in (God knows) :) I JUST FEEL it is coming down to "crunch time" AND we have to DO OUR PART to try to CONVINCE anyone and everyone that there is TIME FOR A CHANGE!

I am worried that the seriousness of this situation is NOT being addressed..........sometimes :?: That's all :) OK? Bear with me but WE HAVE TO DEFEAT GEORGE BUSH!!!!

For the Future of America.....................Andrew Paul

You'll get no argument from me on that, Freebird. I was just saying that people can still express their love (and preference) for Gore while working to get Kerry in the White House. I oughta know--I'm one of them!

That's very cool :) and I have admiration for you !!! You have stood by Al Gore and I never doubted your support for John Kerry. Gosh, I "pray" things turn out for the good of our country come election day :good: This has to be the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER :?: :?: :?:

Yea, it has to be!

Keepin the faith........................Andrew Paul

I am full-on board with getting GW back in the Pan Handle asap. I live in Minnesota, and Texas just isn't far enough away.
I think, however, it is important to cheer for all of what I would consider the "good guys." Gore has a lot to do with that selection process, for me. If he hadn't had the backbone to come out for the Dems, I think we would face a much larger challenge in this election. Anyone who has the ability to help, WE need to make important. Pick any knight at the round table and cheer like hell... Cause we need every champion we have.
I want those Neocons gone gone gone, and I hope this time they are fully discredited.

I think that's an excellent point, crazyuncle.

We owe Gore a lot for being the first to speak out and continuing to speak out, despite all the criticism against him and what he's saying.

As Al Gore said last night:

To those of you who felt disappointed or angry with the outcome in 2000, I want you to remember all of those feelings. But then I want you to do with them what I have done: focus them fully and completely on putting John Kerry and John Edwards in the White House.

Peace!

And that's exactly what we're doing, James. But as I'm sure Gore still does in private, we're still bemoaning the events of 2000. Very hard to get past all that. But we're moving on, we're moving on. ;)

Could have fooled me.

Oh, come on, James. That's just a nasty thing to say. What do you base that on? I can't obviously speak for everyone, but where have I indicated anything other than that I'm voting for and supporting Kerry? Just because he's not my first choice doesn't mean I'm not moving on. And moving on doesn't mean you forsake your first choice. I have said in many places on this forum, today and other days, that we need to work to get Bush out and get Kerry in. I have said that it was time to stop dreaming of a miracle at the convention. I really don't appreciate that comment.

I think he is correct. The mere fact that this web site exists proves him correct. :D

That's just b.s. Besides, that would make James guilty, too.

This is the strangest thread...what are we talking/fighting about anyway? :lol:

oh..ok/I think it is safe to say we all have moved on and hope Kerry wins in November so we can start to clean up the mess the current inhabitants of the WH have made.
That is not to say that we will not support Gore in his endeavors and will not push for an 08 draft. He, to me, is the soul of not only the democratic party, but of the nation.

What is he guilty of? :?: I think he was pointing out that some people haven't moved on. There are plenty of posts on this site by people fawning over what might have been.

No one should feel guilty about it.

I'll fawn over what I like thankyouverymuch!

Yes, Deer! :lol:

And I didn't appreciate you're comment. I posted a quote from last night not directed at you or anyone in particular and YOU choose to personalize it and attack me. I'm just fighting back and defending myself.
Before you go after others for their tactics, you should take a long look in the mirror at yourself.

That's like saying it is bad for the WHO that there is a ROLLING STONES fan club.

James, forgive me on this one, but I am utterly clueless. Utterly. I don't remember reading anything you wrote last night that I had a problem with, and I sure don't remember attacking you. What did I say? What did YOU say?

There's no getting over the theft of our democratic form of government that was stolen by Bush in broad daylight in 2000. Every previous generation of amercans fought and died to preserve democracy for our generation and our generation is the generation that lost democracy in America. Sadly these facts don't seem to mean anything to some who've posted in this thread. I'll be holding my nose very tightly when I vote for Kerry this November after his "I won't dare stand up to Bush" campaign and waiting patiently for a real campaign to restore our democracy with Al Gore in 2008. I guess Kerry's going to have to get clobbered to expose the failed strategy that the dem party leadership is insisting on this year. Unfortunately, our country can't afford 4 more years of Bush.

llama, you see, it is not without some resistance that we say it is our right to pick our own heroes, and cheer for them as loud as we can.
Welcome!

No one on this planet is more pissed off than me about the damn theft of the 2000 election. There isn't one day that goes by it doesn't make me sick. Every time I see Thief Bush on the news or even hear his name it makes my blood boil. AL GORE is the PRESIDENT. I have never excepted Bush and never will, he stole the election and his lying arrogance over the past four years is appalling. I don't know how he can look at himself in the mirror. It is a total disgrace, the abuse and disrespect for our real president AL GORE.

Agreed, agreed. I steam about the theft every day also, and the thought of Shrub actually being elected this time around makes me want to puke. But it's not looking too good for Kerry right now. He waited too long to defend himself against Bush's attacks, and now all the lies they put out about him are sticking. I'd have to agree with the unregistered guest above (is that you, Jan?) that there has definitely been a failed strategy on the part of the Dem. leadership. I believe they pushed Gore out and supported a field of candidates who weren't going to be able to win this election. Without question, Gore would've had the best shot at winning this year. He was a natural for it, given what happened in 2000, and given that he is, hands down, THE BEST AND MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE. I've heard so many conflicting stories about whether it was really Gore's personal choice or whether he felt there wasn't enough support from the DLC to launch another run. We'll probably never know. But what I do know is that Kerry's campaign is losing steam by the day. Maybe he can still pull it out, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I agree that Al Gore would have been the best candidate but I have yet to see any evidence that he was pushed out. Everything indicates that he decided on his own not to run.
Nor can I agree with the defeatist additude about Kerry. That's the story that FAUX and the rest of the corporate media is pushing right now. They did the same thing to Gore in 2000 both before the election and during the recount.
As Freebird said in another thread, these recent polls are bought and paid for. The Newsweek poll was shown to be unfairly skewed to Republicans. I'm sure the others as well. Also, their insistance on looking at likely voters is flawed as well. I'm not considered a likely voter because I moved since the last presidential election. When you look at registered voters Kerry does much, much better. And people are registering in high numbers to vote against Bush. Voter registration is the #1 search on AOL right now.
I'm not saying that Kerry has it locked up and couldn't be running a better campaign. But saying that he's already lost it just aids Bush.

I'm not saying he's already lost it. I just don't feel as optimistic about him winning now as I did a few weeks ago. I know there are problems with these latest polls. I was just reading about the one in Time magazine last week that puts Bush at 52% to Kerry's 41% or something like that. The poll doesn't make sense at all. Suddenly, there's a total reversal of what people had been saying was important to them, whom they thought could better handle the economy, etc. And Bush, in that poll, wallops Kerry on people's perception of who can better handle terrorism. There's no change there except for the number of people who now believe that, at least according to these polls. I agree there's something fishy going on with these polls, and as always, we can't pay too much attention to them. It's just an overall feeling I get, and it's not from watching the news. I haven't seen any news at all except about the hurricane for well over a week (it's my end-of-summer treat to myself--no politics!).

Also, regarding Gore's choice not to run in 2004 . . . I said that we just don't know. I've read some things that suggest he was edged out, and other things that suggest it was strictly a personal decision. I don't know the man, never talked to him (wish I could), so I just don't know. It's all speculation.

All I do know is that Kerry had better clamp down in these remaining weeks. No more Mr. Nice Guy. He's gotta give Bush a bruisin', or he'll be cruisin'. ;)

Well I liked his W stands for wrong speech. :clap:

And the F is for Flipper, Flipper...... :lol:

Why don't we just leave the names as is? Bush and Dick! 'Nuff said!

Once again James is clearly schilling for the repug impersonating, sweep the theft of our democracy in 2000 under the rug dem party leadership. Never mind that every previous generation of americans have fought and died for our democracy that the Bush election stealers stole in 2000. Kerry's the pathetic don't fight back wimp that the dem party leadership wanted and they've gotten it. I hope for our country's sake that some how the pathetic wimp Kerry winds up in the White House because 4 more years of the Bush election stealers will make the current nightmare seem like paradise. However, I'm a realist and it looks's to me like it's not going to happen. The don't fight back and impersonate repugs Kerry is starting to make Dukakis look good. Should Kerry not prevail in November, the repug impersonating sweep the stolen 2000 election under the rug dem party leadership will be finished too. Maybe then we the people will be able to take back our party and our country and finally acheive justice for the stolen 2000 election. Also, I again ask why such an obvious anti Gore repug as Igotmail is allowed to post in this forum for Al Gore supporters?

Because it's an open forum, this is a democracy, we liberals are supposed to be tolerant of other people's opinions, and he or anyone else has the right to be here as long as he abides by the rules.

Plus we do need someone to make fun of. :clap:

If I didn't have JamesA to whip up on, this would be no fun.

Yes Nazis love whipping people. :P

Thanks to people like you who wont fight back James, our country is now headed down the same terrible nazi road that Germany went down in the 1930's. Our democratic form of governent that every previous generation of americans has fought and died for clearly means nothing to you.

It's good to have people who overeact and see ghosts hiding in the closets to lighten the mood every now and then.

Sorry I got mail but those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Do you think Al Gore is over reacting when he correctly warns about how dangerous the election stealing Bush is? You obviously can't handle the truth. I don't understand why such an obvious anti Gore republican that you are is allowed to post in this forum that's supposed to be for Al Gore supporters.

:Y:
