DUers, wake up! Any Dem would be good..Al Gore would be great..

[TruthIsAll]

I see all these threads about Clark and Dean and should liberal Dems form their own party and should the conservative Dems become repukes...etc

Diversity is what makes us Dems. The worst Dem is better than Bush. It is NOT a question of philosophy as much as it is a question of competence. Each Dem is very competent. Bush is a spoiled, D-student failure in everything he has ever done in life - other than to commit chaos, start wars, and steal our money and votes.

Wesley Clark is a Rhodes scholar. He graduated first in his class at West Point. How the hell can you compare him to that dunce Reagan?

I have said this before and I will say it again. Support the Dem, any Dem. Period.

Let's focus on what we must do (BBV) to help bring down Bush. Defeat those Trolls who are just here to disrupt and divert us.

Having said that I am convinced now more than ever that Al Gore should be the candidate. Polls show he is the favorite. He won last time, is the most eloquent, has the most experience. He combines the best qualities which are spread around our ten candidates.

1. oh boy

Gore would be a disaster, TruthisAll. The Democrats can't stand another round of "I invented the internet" "Tipper and I were the models for "Love Story,"" and other "lies" told by Al Gore. The media hates him. He's a stiff.

He's too closely linked with the Clintons. We need to get away from the DNC branch of the Democratic Party.

[gully]

2. How would Gore be a 'disaster'?

And, who do you support for President?

[maxanne]

10. gully

I cited some of the reasons. We cannot afford another round of 2000 election rehashing, either, in addition to the other reasons I cited.

[gully]

12. You buy the lies told about Al Gore then...?

:shrug:

[maxanne]

14. lame response

apparently you aren't able or willing to discuss the points I made, just make unfounded accusations.

[rock]

8. The media (phew!) should not have any say on who our candidate is

None. They're stinking whores. Who cares what they think.

[maxanne]

11. who cares?

the numerous average folk who take what they see/read/hear in conventional media as gospel. The media savaged Gore last time (read Al Franken's book for some insights in what they did to Gore). There isn't any reason to think they'd behave better this time.

The average redneck up here knows Al Gore wants to take his guns away. The average freeper knows Al Gore lied about inventing the internet. How do you propose to combat that body of "knowledge"?

[gully]

13. Al Gore didn't lie about inventing the internet.

Do some research, this is an example of a RW smear.

We have a war in Iraq (unilateral) with no exit strategy.

We had 911 because Bush failed to act.

We have a record deficit

We have eroding Civil liberties

And your saying "Gore would have been a disaster?"

That's rich!

However, that said, Deans my man!! Gore's not running, and I'm not interested in anyone who isn't passionate about this race.

[maxanne]

15. no shit

gully. Your reading comprehension skills aren't being put to good use on my posts.

[gully]

17. Maxanne, I read your posts 'as is' in a literal sense.

I dont' think I'm to blame for not seeing the sarcasim...

Sorry about the misunderstanding...

[maxanne]

19. the quotation marks

were supposed to be an indication of their truth vs. mine.

[gully]

20. "thanks" for pointing that out...

:hi: however, I think prior to your edit, it wasn't as "clear."

23. I would advise you to read this page over and over to get it in your head

3. wow

You were doing so great right up until you brought up Gore.

He's yesterday's man. He's as exciting as watching paint dry. Everyone hates his wife.

There are plenty of competent candidates from which to choose.

4. Agreed

Well he doesn't preach quite as well as Rev Al, but his last speach in front of the moveon audience was close. What he lacks in Rev Al's practiced style and rhetoric, he makes up for with specifics and substance.

[MuseRider]

5. Personally

I think we have 10 good candidates but wouldn't it be fun to have a Re election Campaign? Re Elect Al Gore!

[leetrisck]

9. I could support any of the 10

Democratic candidates. I do not think the Dems fought hard enough for Al Gore in the election fiasco. They should have been as rotten and low down as "Slimy Shrub" was - so what if there was a Constitutional crisis - "Slimy" intended to create one if he didn't get his way. Now look what has happened to our country.

6. Sory,

Al GORE does not want to run. Why would he? He ran many races and won. He has a life now,with his family and that is good.

Politics is always war without the firepower. Until now. You figure it out.

[Cheswick2.0]

22. you are telling us how Al Gore FEELS?

What are you, a mind reader?

[rabid_nerd]

7. Amen!

16. I don't know that Gore would be the BEST choice

Although he would definitely be a good choice.

My philosophy is this - we all have a common goal, and that's to rid this country of the selected Administration. And while I obviously support Dean, I will fervently support whoever gets the Democratic nomination. I HOPE that we all will. I hope for a Dean/Clark ticket, because I think THEY TOGETHER CAN BEAT BUSH. And THAT is what is most important to me at this point.

Am I in line with every policy of any candidate? Not really. I'm pretty liberal, and a candidate that supports all of my beliefs wouldn't be electable and I know that. I'm realistic, and we really need to be realistic and keep our focus for 2004. Because they will win if we as a party are as disjointed as we were in 2000. That's what they're counting on - they're counting on infighting and weak support of the Democratic nominee. We need to be focused and concentrate on getting the Bush Administration out of there. My 8 yr old son could do a better job at running the country than Bush. So even if say, Lieberman wins the nom (my least favorite of the Dem candidates), we have to force ourselves to pile on and support him. Because even though whoever gets the nom will not appeal to everyone, we have to remember that the most important thing is getting Bush OUT.

21. Gore will run again....

But it won't be this time around. Its in his blood,he knows he got screwed but it won't be this time. Why this keeps coming up over and over is beyond comprehention...

24. I agree TIA

Although it seems doubtful he'd accept, I'd love to see our exiled POTUS in his rightful place.

He whipped him once - he can whip him again, and more so.

As for the "fear" of returning to the Clinton era of peace and especially prosperity - isn't that what many of the Dem. candidates are espousing to do?

Who better to reconstruct the economic house that Bush has destroyed than someone who was, originally, an onsite architect?

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Works for me

And now lets hear from the "Gore isn't running, Get over it" crowd. :bounce: :eyes:


Draft Gore!

[Must_B_Free]

26. *sigh*

-he isn't running
-he doesn't want to run
-he's a loser
-he's a liar
-he's boring

but I agree he is the best candidate, most popular, most trusted, well liked, he was right, and for these reasons, he is the best candidate we could run. All of the lies are diffused and hollow now.
