Be proud of Gore

Tennessee has grand reason to be proud of Al Gore, a Tennessean whose relentless efforts to raise awareness about the problem of global warming have led to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Gore shares the prize with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Gore may be getting most of the attention, but the overwhelming presence of scientific expertise backing up his often-criticized warnings bolster the recognition of what Gore has accomplished. They deserve the award equally.

It was sadly regrettable, however, that no sooner had this year’s Peace Prize been announced than it was immediately analyzed for partisan political meaning. Gore graciously announced his appreciation for the honor, but some seemed to see the Nobel Peace Prize as nothing but a steppingstone to running for president of the United States. Gore has said he has no plans to run for president. It would be nice if he were allowed a moment to enjoy the global recognition of winning one of the most prestigious honors ever established.

What was even more disheartening was that tired political criticism, specifically on talk radio, used the announcement to once again denounce the validity of Gore’s research. It speaks volumes about our times that anyone would immediately criticize the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The United States has not been the leader it should have been on acknowledging and battling global warming. If the Peace Prize does nothing more than boost that action, it will have served a noble purpose.


—The (Nashville) Tennessean

The whole country should be proud of AL GORE, not just Tennessee.

We really more than ever need this awesome man as our next president and get rid of that awful thing in the White House who got there by theft and fraud.

During the past 7 years, Al Gore has been one of the few heros I have found. The democrats are not hero's. If they let Bush get away with breaking the FISA laws, they are worse than not being hero's, they are co-conspirators in what is being done to America.

Chris Dodd is stopping the Vote. God Bless him!

I want to hear more from Al Gore! Whether he runs or not, I want to hear his 'Voice of Reason'. We need a leader! Unfortunately, few are standing up for America. Most are standing up for themselves, not me.

George W. Bush just spoke of World War III. He talked about Iraq and in we went. I want George W. stopped BEFORE WE ARE IN WORLD WAR III. It is going to take loud courageous voices to stop the drum beats of War. Al Gore has stood up before, I would like to see him climb the ladder with a BULL HORN! AMERICA NEEDS HIS VOICE OF REASON.

I AM PROUD OF AL GORE! MANY MORE PEOPLE WOULD SUPPORT AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT, IF ONLY HE WOULD ENTER THE RACE.
