Poll question: Have you listened to the Al Gore speech?

I just did, and found it quite incredible, maybe the first truly great speech in many years. It's profound. (It's also about 15 mb.)

6. YES!!

That was the best, most complete, articulate assesment of what has happened, given what we know so far. AND his level of outrage was totally appropriate!

5. It was just awesome . . . . .
It was the best speech I have ever heard.

And did you hear the media compare Gore's passioned "How Dare They"'s to Dean's screaming!! The media are pure idiots.

9. Anyone who has not heard it
MUST ABSOLUTELY LISTEN TO IT... this was one of the most awesome speeches I have ever heard - I was encouraging one of my coworkers to listen to it - he does not support Dems although he will not be voting for Bush and he did the last time - he has decided not to vote - but I told him he had to listen to this speech - he doesn't like Gore but I told him pertend it is not Gore and listen to the content - the speech is totally on target with the havoc that the Bush administration has played on our nation.

10. Saw it on C-Span the same day of the speech. President Gore kicked ass!
It's great to see true leadership from people like him and Howard Dean, taking on the Bush Criminal Empire. And fuck the DLC, the media whores, and anyone else who tries to silence either of them, or anyone else who should decide to stand up against these bastards.

11. Yes, it made me want to cry
To hear him speak so beautifully, articulately, passionately and HUMANELY.

This is our President. This is what they stole from us.

13. What better shape the world would be in
if they'd counted all the votes in FL. No 9/11, no invasion, no Patriot Act. As Eric Alterman put it, "Never has there been a more qualified condidate for president (Gore) or a less qualified one (*)". the fact that * got any votes at all is a sad comentary on our nation.

15. Isn't it wonderful to
have a respectable, articulate, and decent president. Well sort of!
That's why Shrub* is such a disappointment.

16. Reminds me of when Clinton first took office
It was so refreshing after 12 years of morons to have a President who could communicate in complete, meaningful, English sentences.
