Gore WON in 2000. My problem with him stems from his failure to fight for the Oval Office. Gore went through hell’s fire in gasoline drawers to run past Big Dog’s Presidential sexcapades and Shillary Clintoon’s greedily tapping down DNC election coffers to make her way to the Senate in a IL2AK2NY carpetbag, and legitimately BEAT Dumya Shrub in 2000. After all that, Big Al let it go at the behest of Faux Noise, a four-eyed walrus who escaped his last anger management session, and finally the clown populated Supreme Court. Al Gore inadvertantly set a vexing precedent that now licenses vindictive bullying attacks of moderate left or centrist liberals by a spurious horde of willfully ignorant, recalcitrant Repug rogues, defended by their raised Crosses, sheilded by their obscene twisting of misinterpreted passages from the Bible, and pompously draped in the Flag of the United States of America. Consequently, a whipped weak strain of politically neutered, craven Dimwitocrats are either easily punked like Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Biden, and Edwards, or bought and bossed by corporate personhood esteemed more highly than their voters, like the Clintons, Schumer, Feinstein, and Kerry. No doubt, We the disgusted People of this utterly SCREWED Nation do desperately need Presidential Candidates with unwavering Constitutional conviction and guts enough to stand up to execute beneficial policies and SCREAM truth unrepentently. I’m just not sure our Nobel Laureate is iron-balled enough to victoriously lead the Nation, and not give a damn when the affluent pissy snotty neo-Whigs groan, whine, and pitch a tantrum, once they are prevented from continuing their greedy oppression of the Nation.

Right now, we need just one candidate who is resolutely confident enough to tell the corrupt globally tenticled oligarchy infested with the wretched minions of the BFEE, the RNC, these religio-fascist nuts, and the criminal military industrial corporate complex to step the hell off! Alas, Big Al is a great guy, and a real winner, but he’s not a warrior. Big Al diplomatically weilded a pencil for the Army in Viet Nam. Kucinich, though, God bless him, is a warhorse pawing in the valley, anxious to do the Lord’s work. Kucinich is a scrapper TO THE DEATH, DAMN IT! Kucinich lived a few years in the family car as a child. So, the guy’s no stranger to tough times or impossible odds. Dennis has a long impressive political history of taxing Repug hiney wherever he angrily enounters it. All Dick Vader had to do was keep up his Halliburton cronyism for Dennis to author HR Bill 333 and NEVER think about backing off his DEMANDS for IMPEACHMENT of Richard Bruce Cheney. Big Al, on the other hand, spent his Vice Presidency trying not to make anyone uncomfortable and evading all confrontation. The good news is that Big Al has proven to be far more productive in private life than he permitted himself to be as an elected public servant. I’m beside myself for his winning the Nobel Peace prize, drawing attention to the issues of global ecology and the slow death of our planet. But, I’m glad Al Gore shows very little interest in being a Presidential candidate. When Kucinich wins, maybe he can interest Gore in taking the Todd-Whitman job in the overhauled, new, improved, Cabinet-level, toothier USEPA.

Kucinich in 2008!

Al Gore’s information on global warming and the danger it poses to the future of civilization is so compelling that it makes those who want to retain a closed minded approach, and pretend the danger does not exist, or believe it is all a part of God’s plan so we should just let the plan unfold, feel very threatened by the facts Gore presents.  The resistance to opening a closed mind is very strong, as it is fear based, being afraid of anything which challenges the belief system it holds.  Those who want to work toward solutions for global warming can better spend their time doing just that rather than attempting to figure out why the right wing thinks as it does.  People of reason need to be busy solving problems and moving civilization toward a better place, and if the conservatives decide to come along on the trip, fine, but we cannot wait for them to declare it to be the correct path or exert efforts trying to change their minds.

Hundreds or thousands of years ago, conservatives had understandable religious reasons for rejecting science. Today’s “conservative” Global Warming deniers (at least those in any position of power) do so purely on economic grounds.  It is completely consistent with their fascist, corporatist, privatization agenda.  The Bush Administration has already been caught falsifying scientific reports for partisan political purposes.  When it comes to natural science, I think I’d rather take my knowledge from actual scientists rather than partisan hacks like Sean Hannity. As Glen Beck always says when trying to discount Global Warming, “I not a scientist, but I AM a thinker”.  Could’ve fooled me!

America bought the bullshit.We could have gone for brains in 2000 but we went for the guy who scratches his ass with a fork.Do not blame the right wing fascists brains on the other side frightens the shit out of them.I know what everyone is going to say I did not vote for Bush.The question is did sanity do enough.Have we learned how easy it is with a two party system if we let down our guard and do not fight for what we believe in that a George Bush is always in the wings.The most amazing thing is that there are 30% of Americans who think he is doing a great job.If this were Bill Clinton would they feel the same.Of course not.It is so deptressing that 30% of America would put party over country.I hope the left which I am a proud member of would never stoop so low.
