[ewagner]

25. Al is on!!!!

he had the presence of mind to introduce the man who introduced him...

good job Al....

[Nimrod2005]

27. Man that sucks --- Do you think someone (wink wink) did not want to see

the pictures of Barr praising Gore?

[toymachines]

31. at this point I almost expect such things

[ewagner]

33. Al says the right things

but he still hasn't learned NOT TO TALK THROUGH HIS APPLAUSE LINES!!

Maybe he doesn't realize that they ARE applause lines.!!!

Damn it's good to hear an articulate speech again!

[Nimrod2005]

30. This guy is the most plain spoken politician I have ever seen

Clinton is up there too...

[toymachines]

36. It makes him very clear, easy to understand

[erpowers]

32. Listening Now

I am listening to him now. I really think he should have run for President last year.

[bill]

35. Gore talking about COINTELPRO

[KoKo]

38. Connecting the spying to FBI's surveillance of MLK...says we need to

respect the Rule of Law. Saying that we don't know the whole truth of wire tapping...but Bush has been breaking rule of law knowingly and consistently.

[KoKo]

47. Government of Laws and Not Men (John Adams) says All Powerful

Executive is too reminiscent of the King from whom they sought to break free.

Quoting Madison, Tomas Paine....Making certain that the LAW IS KING...
We must operate within our Constitutional Structure...not Executives operating in SECRET without the Rule of Law.

(He's pointing out the hypocracy of the Federalist (Constitutional) lawyers like Alito. very important his doing this!)

[KoKo]

52. Gulf of Tonkin and Gulf War based on information that was secret.

Says Bush and he agree Terrorism is threat but that violating the "Rule of Law" is their difference.

[Nimrod2005]

37. I love it, Gore pointing out the lies of Bush!!!

:toast:

[Rainbowreflect]

40. How different everything would/could be.

Sigh!

[welshTerrier2]

39. "The President of the US has been breaking the law"

"repeatedly and consistently"

[Nimrod2005]

59. Amen...

[bill]

41. Bush breaking the law...

consistantly and repeatedly!

[toymachines]

42. "A president who breaks the laws is threat to our very system of gvernment

good ol' Al

[Nimrod2005]

43. Gore: we know enough to know that Bush has been breaking the law!

CNN, MSNBC need to switch to this NOW!!!

[MindPilot]

44. Gore's tone of voice is incredulous that * admitted to wiretaps

"A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government."

[hippiechick]

[Jemmons]

[Nimrod2005]

51. WOW!!! A huge crowd, I did not know that...How many?

Does anyone know?

[Nimrod2005]

48. Al Gore has to become our President - What will it take?

[MindPilot]

50. Adhering to the rule of law prevents serious mistakes

then cites Tonkin & Iraq as bad mistakes.

[ewagner]

53. Slapping Gonzolas!

The president's men have "minced words"

President's men have argued that use of force resolution authorized wiretapping.....

gore: Arguments don't hold water....

hits gonzo on his hypocrisy

[MindPilot]

56. Now saying this administration disrespects and disregards

the Constitution. Al speaks truth.

[Nimrod2005]

54. Good point, they tried to change the law AND FAILED!

Therefore, they can't claim that it is lawful to do now....Gore is brilliantly articulate.

[welshTerrier2]

55. Gore: "Rep. Jim McGovern spoke against use of military in US"

Jim's my rep ... he's a Congressman who gets it!!

[Nimrod2005]

57. Go ahead Al, kick W's ass as HARD as you can, go ahead

we love it!

[Richard D]

58. yifuckingha!

Gore 2008. No one else is willing to speak like this.

[Nimrod2005]

60. No one else is willing to speak like this - BINGO!

You said it beast Richard D.

No one else is willing to speak like this.

[MindPilot]

61. Gore getting angy now about torture and kidnapping

cites violations of Geneva Convention

[Nimrod2005]

65. I love how he brought this into the speech

was supposed to be about NSA.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

62. Way to go Al!!!

Here is the outrage that should be sweeping the nation in a bipartisan fashion!!

[Tippy]

63. I love this man,,,he has more guts than anyone I know

[MindPilot]

64. The simple fact that our system of government has failed to check

excessive executive power is "in itself deeply troubling".

[Nimrod2005]

66. What a simple but great point noone is making...

Makes me think less of all other Dems. like Hillary and Biden...etc.

[MindPilot]

71. At one point Al himself had the chance to stop this

literally in front of his face. I believe he can atone....in '08

72. Nice talking points, but it proves that you are not listening.

Solutions are suggested all the time, but your side cannot debate them, so you ignore them.

77. And your attacks on Gore were so mature & logical.

Because bush is called names here does not mean ideas are not also discussed.
This is a Democratic site, obviously you made a wrong turn, or many wrong turns.

[Rainbowreflect]

70. Could post more than four times without letting you fear show.

The truth hurts. Open your eyes & mind to what you have helped to create!

[MindPilot]

73. Well first he as to fix all the stuff your boy bush

has fucked up.

Now go back to your porta-potty and catch up on the latest issue of Guns & Ammo.

[MindPilot]

75. "Servile judiciary" -- love that one!! n/t

[MindPilot]

76. Dammit mods!!

Can't give us a little more time to throughly thrash the freeper troll before you start shoving the dirt back in the hole?

[MindPilot]

78. "unaccountable incompetence" in failing to prevent 9-11

Gore finally came right out and said it. Hammering bush hard on excessive power coupled with gross incompetence. Altio on the court will also fail to check executive power.

Man, Al is laying it all out -- me thinks he reads DU.

[Jemmons]

79. IT IS TIME!!!

[Tippy]

81. It sure is time...

[welshTerrier2]

80. "it is time to breathe new life into the American democracy"

this is exactly what should sit at the core of the Democratic Party's platform ... it is time to "renew the American revolution" ...

is this radical and left-wing? ... it really doesn't matter ... complaceny is destroying our country ... it should be the role of any enlightened party, Democratic or republican, to challenge America to live up to the ideals envisioned by our Founders ...

[Tippy]

82. We the people.....

Snip: We the people are-collectively-still the key to the survival of America's democracy. We-as Lincoln put it, "ven we here"-must examine our own role as citizens in allowing and not preventing the shocking decay and degradation of our democracy.

Thomas Jefferson said: "An informed citizenry is the only true repository of the public will."

[Tippy]

83. GO AL

"I endorse the words of Bob Barr, when he said, "The President has dared the American people to do something about it. For the sake of the Constitution, I hope they will.""

[welshTerrier2]

84. "a special counsel should be appointed"

"to pursue criminal issues involved with warrantless wiretapping"

[IndianaGreen]

85. DLC won't approve of that statement

By tonight the DLC appeasers and Vichy fellow travellers will be bad mouthing Gore and attacking us for even listening to him.

[IndianaGreen]

[Tippy]

87. Raw Story has text of speech,,,

< http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Text_of_Gore_speech_0116.html >

[erpowers]

88. Information on Terrorist

I believe what Gore said about the terrorist; however, I would like to know where I could find the information the two terrorist that the Bush Administration identified before 9/11 and the others that could have been identified. So, could someone give me some links or tell me where to go to find this information.

[realFedUp]

89. Love hearing the truth....excellent speech.

E-mail it to your newspapers...they should print the
whole thing.
