How nice for Gore to get the recognition he deserves from his home state!

TN unanimously passes resolution honoring Gore.

Yesterday, the Tennessee House unanimously approved a resolution honoring Al Gore and his efforts to curb global warming:

We hereby honor and congratulate vice president Albert Arnold “Al” Gore Jr. on his receipt of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his exemplary efforts to inform and educate the public and promote understanding of the threats posed by global warming and the measures needed to counteract such change.

Gore is a former U.S. congressman and senator from the state of Tennessee. House Republican Leader Jason Mumpower now wants Democrats to vote on a similar resolution praising the late President Ronald Reagan.

1. If they had felt this way in 2000 . . .

Oh well.

[Rosemary2205]

5. Amen, Amen and Amen.

7. You mean you could live with Lieberman as VP?

The thought of Lieberman as VP make the loss a more palatable.

[Rosemary2205]

8. In all honesty

I'd take Lieberman as Veep in a heartbeat in exchange for 1 Million plus Iraqis still alive - trillions in hard earned American money not spent so Cheney can buy himself another dozen quail - gas at $2 instead of $3 - a CIA and FBI that actually function - 2 SCOTUS appointees that are infinitely better --- on and on and on.

Lieberman is such an incredibly small price compared to ALL THAT AND MORE.

2. How nice it would have been if they'd VOTED FOR HIM in 2000. nt

4. My first thought exactly....

and I still think he was robbed! And I'll go to my grave thinking that.

6. I also believe that,

and I believe that Kerry would have won if the 2004 election had not been rigged.
It is shocking to know that for the last seven years our country has been hijacked by an unelected psychopath an his henchmen. We should have taken to the streets but there was not enough of us that cared.

10. Some of us did.. we were beaten back by lines of riot police and ceremoniously

not given press coverage and relegated to a group known as "fringe".

From that day forward, protests have been out of sight, out of mind - with the complicity of the MSM. And those protests that do occur do so in "protest zones" generally two miles out of sight of the Thief in Chief :-)

Ewww.. feels like a scab coming off an old wound... ugh !! :cry:

[terrya]

9. Yeah, that would have nice.

Would have saved us 8 years of pure, unadulterated hell.

[zbdent]

11. I still believe that the U.S. would have seen its second Civil War

the way that the R-pukes were stirring things up ... there would have been an all-out assault on this country with the righties leading the charge, demanding that the "illegitimate Resident" be cast out of the White House ...

Osama bin Laden would have been laughing his ass off 9/11/2001 in comfort as CNN would have been covering "America Held Hostage - Gore's Occupation Day nnn" with guests right and left; right represented by the Heritage Foundation, and the left represented by Matt Drudge ...

3. Do you think Mumpower knows...

... that Reagan is dead? <shaking head>

[RestoreGore]

14. Or that he's not from Tennesee?

There's always one in the crowd.

12. Congratuations once again, President Al Gore.

It's about time your home state takes some pride in such an honorary citizen.

....a really feel-good DU post for today! :bounce:

[riverdeep]

13. Tennessee seems like a fair weather friend.

NOW, they want to honor him. And doesn't Ronald Fucking Reagan have enough goddamn honors, already? Can we go thirty seconds without some right-wing freak figuratively sucking Reagan dry?

I see his 'honors' all around me. Every time I see a picket line I think of how he almost single-handedly took out the labor movement. Every time I see some deranged homeless person, I think of how he unceremoniously unloaded the mentally ill onto the streets. And I'm sure Central Americans would love to honor him in their own way, too. Maybe we can send Negroponte to receive that honor. I got your honor right here, Ronnie.

15. Happy Day!

Congratulations President Emeritus Gore!

[RestoreGore]

16. What about the Tennessee legislatures's work on climate change?

Where is it? And congratulations Nobel laureate Gore. It's about time he was recognized by his state, even though it is eight years late.

[Cha]

17. Gore's come full circle

in his state of Tennessee! Remembering Gore's "concession" speech when he said he had some "fences to mend". What an amazing sweetheart!

[ladjf]

18. They should have voted for him in 2000. That would have helped.

[DFW]

19. I wonder if it would come as a shock to Republican leader Mumpower

........but Ronald Reagan was not from Tennessee. He was from Illinois.
Let the Illinois state legislature honor him if they so desire.

[AX10]

20. K/R

Maybe he will be our nominee. You never know.
