Al Gore would have been a Great President! It's hard to give up a dream!

I'm just One Lonely Voice in Cleveland wishing for a better day! Al Gore could have been my 'better day'! The Global Warming issue is a big challenge, which will take years to change. It will be a big challenge for many years. I wish Al Gore would have given me 4, or 8 years. I wouldn't mind if he helped lead us to cleaner air in the process. Many things need improvement. When he won the election, he would have been able to appoint the best people to lead us into the future. The world is ready for innovation. Cleaner air and working to improve the environment is going to take innovation. America is ready for change. Al Gore could have led us into a Environmental Industrial Economy instead of the current Military Industrial Economy. The world could join our Environmental Industrial Economy. It's in the World's best interest, 'to make', 'to buy', 'to use', environmentally friendly products and processes. Life goes on!

  • Hi Connipae, don't lose heart yet. I just came from our draftgore group meeting and we are still in tact. I also have it on good authority that we have not been given the official word to stop. We believe he is trying to push the agenda not the man at the moment. He has not ruled out serving in 08 as recently as last week. I believe we should assist him in insisting on his agenda and trying to shake up the convention a bit via delegates. If the current candidates do not catch on and it looks dire, he may have to jump in. Hence the non-Shermanesc statement and the very loud silence regarding stopping. The information received by the Ca group was solicited, not offered by Gore himself and they just requested that he not be put on the ballot. He may not want a poor showing or have to take his name off which would be viewed as closing the door. This is our current thinking. He is my leader either way and I will look to him for guidance. Meanwhile, we have impeachment to work on. I was willing to not work on that if Gore was going to be president because I know he would do it once in office but if that is in jeopardy we need to act before the elections. Just today's thoughts, hate to hear you give up, not until he say's so himself!

  • Given YOU 4 to 8 years? He already gave you THIRTY and he's still giving. What are you giving now?

  • Geez, JanforGore, you seem quite annoyed with every so slightly different feelings for Gore than you have. Nobody is disrespecting the truly Honorable Al Gore. You have good posts but I feel like you are constantly berating people for wanting the best leader in our country in office. Trust me, Al is a big boy and knows how to stop the buzz if he wants to. We are now going to focus more on his agenda, you'd think that would have made you happy and you would have focused on that instead of getting on poor Conniepae for feeling down. I doubt she meant it the way you insisted on interpreting it. But this seems to be a common occurance. Please, opinions are great but you seem to head for personal attacks quite often. We are all on the same page essentially, lets make nice with each other, there are plenty of people out there ready to pounce with distracting noise that just creates bad feelings. Would love to just have a friendly exchange the next time but felt the need to come to Connipae's defence. :)

  • JanforGore, I understand your pain. You feel the need to personally attack? Sorry, but I'm not going there! I'm just One Lonely Voice in Cleveland, trying to survive everyday struggles. The direction of the country causes me great concern. I have nothing to offer, other than words. It takes everything my husband and I earn to be able to get to tomorrow. Sad thing is it's never tomorrow, it's always today! Average Americans are struggline to get through today. I will make this offer today; If Al Gore were to decide to run, I would quit my job and work for him full time! I have to say, "helping Al Gore would be my DREAM JOB"!
    Conniepae
  • Oh please. I asked what you are giving now and you can't even answer the question.That's a personal attack? I suppose it is to those who don't have an answer. In case you haven't noticed while you were "dreaming", the world is in a crisis that now needs us all to be involved in solving it regardless of what Mr.Gore does. If you can't accept that, then I suppose I will just leave you to your dreamworld.

  • Why are you questioning what Conniepae is contributing anyway? So big of you to "leave her to her dream world", and yes, it's a personal attack. You have a lot to contribute but you're losing credibility for the very issues you feel so strongly about because of personal attacks and correcting people's spelling. "You suppose it is to those who don't have an answer" . . . that isn't the answer you want to hear? You do Al Gore no favors.

    An ounce of emotion is equal to a ton of facts.

  • rnalrn - thank so much for the note of encouragement from draftgore. I was hoping that could be the case!
    Chique
  • I agree John Junor! I feel myself wanting to avoid JanforGore's comments and posts and I am begining to resent her handle as she seems to work very differently from what Al would encourage. With all her protestations of how we use the medium he has provided you'd think she would do better.
    To Chique -hang in there! We are, until the man himself requests us to transfer our energies to a different candidate. If we are being used it is for the common good and I don't mind in the least. By the way, JanforGore, you seem to have gobs of time on your hands so I assume you get out of the house occasionally and are doing great works! I myself have a job but still found time to get out all summer to attend strategy meetings and talk to the populus about the issues of our time. I may have been holding a draftGore sign and petition but I feel I got a lot of people re-engaged. For now, it's the best I can do. I promise to try harder, and you?

  • Thanks Chique and malrn! I had hoped to take the high road with JanforGore, I really do understand. I think I have offended her by my support of Gore/Hagel and for that I'm sorry, because I am happy being me, myself and I. I have no desire to be JanforGore, or anyone else. Sorry, but in my heart I am confident Al Gore could be the leader we need and I think Chuck Hagel added would be a scream! I still have hope Al Gore will join the race for '08. JanforGore, yes, you were being rude. How dare you question my support for Gore. I have a life. I am a wife (35 years) to my childhood sweetheart. I have two sons and three lovely, sweet grand-daughters. I am happy in my life, but long for leadership I am not afraid of. The warmongers scare the poop out of me. The way things are changing, while most Americans are sleeping? Maybe they are numb? I don't know, but something has to change soon! A 'Decider' with ultimate power is scary! I wanted Al Gore to enter the race to question the Constitutionality of a 'Decider'. We need candidates that are willing to speak 'Truth to Power' now, not wait hoping for power later. If they think they can lead, do it now! None of the current candidates that are the focus of mainstream media are 'Speaking for Me'.

  • It's not so much that we are disappointed that Gore isn't running--it's trying to switch our brains from the best candidate to a so/so candidate and that's probably a compliment. I support Gore in whatever he's doing and I appreciate people who are keeping his message alive. THAT IS making a difference. By the way who are you voting for Jan?

  • Someone added 'beat that dead horse' to topic tags. I guess the republicans do troll. What's the point of tags like that? Maybe the person who put the tag would be willing to give us some words of wisdom? What horse would he/she recommend? -- Oh I guess we should all just get in line and follow along? That's what has gotten us into the mess we are in, people willing to accept spin and bull instead of facts. Sheep! All we need is their barking to get us back in line. RUFF, RUFF, RUFF! IT'S TIME WE BARK BACK! BAAAA, BAAAA ISN'T WORKING SO GOOD!

  • Actually, I think our voices and our noise are starting to give the Democrats some support. I noticed the verbage in congress has been stepped up and we are at least preventing recess appointments. It's a start. In theory, today's news about McLellans book revelations regarding Valery Plames outing should put them both in jail for treason! But at least it gets added on. This is the strongest camels back I have ever seen but I think its stomach is touching the ground at least!

  • If anything, Congress should call Scott McLellan to testify. How can they let that be in print and not investigate? "It's classified?" Nothing to see here, move along? and they do? They don't need a Special Prosecutor, they are our Special Prosecutors. They can have hearings anytime! Someone has to call for hearings! Let's see where the current group of candidates stand on the issue. No spin! Several are Senators and have the authority to call for hearings now. Why wait for '08? They came back in session for Terry Shivo. Testimony 'UNDER OATH',
    Conniepae
  • Absolutely!
