Boys and Girls Al Gore did not lose in 00 we did.He lost an election we lost our country.I dare say many millions of Americans now realize that and would like to recast their 00 vote but alas morons who voted for Bush you cannot.
I cried like a baby at Bush’s recent speech when he won moron of the year award.When he told the assembled moron’s do not give up, look where perserverance and Karl Rove have gotten me.Then when all the moron’s got up to clap and tried to find the other hand pride welled up in my breast as I watched a President give hope to moron’s everywhere.

Only if global warming is the result of human activity will these efforts have any effect.

#120355 by troublesum on 12/15: “Gore couldn’t save his own ass in 2000 after winning the popular vote by half a million votes and with countless voting irregularities.  How’s he going to save the world…?”

The USA has just had a “roadmap” imposed upon it by the G77 (the new “new world order”) at the Bali climate-change conference, uhh.

“The U.S. has been humbled by the overwhelming message by developing countries that they are ready to be engaged with the problem, and it’s been humiliated by the world community. I’ve never seen such a flip-flop in an environmental treaty context ever,” said Bill Hare of Greenpeace.

The deal after two weeks of talks came when the United States dramatically dropped opposition to a proposal by the main developing-nation bloc, the G77, for rich nations to do more to help the developing world fight rising greenhouse emissions…. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL1412327320071215?sp=true

Ever hear of a book entitled THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST?  There is nothing in our recent history that suggests that a smarter person would done a better job managing the various train wrecks we are involved in around the world today. In fact, he may have done a lot worse.

#120342 by troublesum on 12/15: “Gore directed all democrats in the senated not to sign the petition and they complied. That’s what Gore thinks of democracy….”

The Democrats were that weak back then already, troublesum? And Gore would have been a mean guy if 9/11 had happened “on his watch”, too….....

Gore could have challenged the vote in Florida and
Ohio based on Blacks being denied their voting rights in those states.  The Black Caucus in the House petitioned to have the vote challenged on those grounds.  It would have required the signitures of two senators to have the matter investigated.  Gore directed all democrats in the
senated not to sign the petition and they complied.
That’s what Gore thinks of democracy.

#119961 by Mudwollow on 12/13:“But for all those pining for Al Gore and wishing we could turn the clock back eight years and have him as our president, be reminded of one thing. We would have always been one bullet away from having Joseph Lieberman assume the presidency of the United States….”

Maybe he was “advised” to take a dive back then, Mudwollow?

Sorry to dsagree with the general consensus here, but I think that the best thing that can be said for George Bush is that he saved us from eight years of being hectored by Al Gore.  Given the choice again, and knowing all that we know now, I would choose Bush.

Yes indeed, Al Gore does present these points well. But for all those pining for Al Gore and wishing we could turn the clock back eight years and have him as our president, be reminded of one thing. We would have always been one bullet away from having Joseph Lieberman assume the presidency of the United States. One of those small factoids we seem to want to forget.

Watched the speech on “Democracy Now” and was truly impressed.
  What a class act Gore has become.
  Wish he would reconsider politics sooner.

It will be nice when we no longer have to hear “your majesties, your royal hignesses…..  excellencies” etc etc and the speaker simply address ALL in the room as “ladies and gentlemen”, uhh.

Some of Gore’s words: “MAD - Mutual Assured Destruction. The thin shell of the atmosphere - we are the problem! Will we remain imprisoned by a dangerous illusion…..???”

Well, Tennessee is better than Texas for leaders - and so much more. “He’s much better at trying to save the world….” but he has been trying for quite some time. That has changed Al Gore for a better person.

We all must now be willing to make the positive changes within ourselves that will lead to right thought and action. In order to confront the challenge of climate change, peace around the world is a necessary first priority.

How will that happen while the warlike countries (mainly you-know-who!) continue to see nuclear war or nuclear pre-emptive strikes as any kind of option for the future survival of mankind? Its NOT possible!

As new Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has told world leaders in Bali about climate change “...There is no plan B…” he said. “There is no other planet any of us can escape to…” Accordingly, Australia would work to “build bridges between nations” as the world pursued a new global pact by the end of 2009, Mr Rudd said.

Gore: “Penalties for ignoring this problem are immense and growing” - you/we are guilty!

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has told the gathering (in Bali) that a post-Kyoto agreement must include the United States….

The US is the only major industrialised nation outside the Kyoto framework. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/12/12/2117229.htm?section=world
