Al Gore: Just Padding his Resume?

by Ryan Miller

As many of you know today Al Gore won a piece of the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on climate change.

Now it seems that everyone is speculating that Gore will soon announce his presidential candidacy. Could there be a better time to do so? I have heard today that he will be using this to catapult his presidential run, and I have also heard that he will not run against the Clinton political machine unless she falters.

My previous post King Gore explains why he would easily win the presidency if he runs. Adding the Nobel Peace Prize to his resume all but solidifies the inevitable.

Every textbook on political campaigns says that a serious candidate will not run for office unless he or she knows that they can win. I can understand if Gore is apprehensive at running because of how the 2000 elections turned out, that can’t be easy on your stomach. But that is not Gore’s reason. He hasn’t announced that he is running yet because of timing. He could have been waiting for this, he could be waiting for the other candidates to rip each other apart, or he might just not want to be president.

Maybe Gore thinks that he can do more by not being president. He sure has accomplished a lot in the past 8 years.

I can’t, for one second, believe that Gore thinks he cannot defeat Hillary Clinton. In adding up the simple political positives and negatives between the two (in my mind) has Gore ahead by a million points.

But that’s just me

    I can’t help wondering how different things would be today here in America and in the Middle East had America’s true choice for president in 2000 taken office in January, 2001.

    No one is better qualified to lead this nation than Gore. The fact that the supposedly liberal-leaning mainstream media did such a hatchet job on him when he ran for president before is enough to convince me that the corporatocracy (the true power behind the throne of the MSM) fears him, and alone is enough to garner my support. Add to that his depth of understanding of the major issues and his willingness to speak forthrightly about them and it puts my enthusiasm over the top.

    My concern is that the all phony talk about right versus wrong and good versus evil done by the Republican bully-pulpiteers, which in time is usually exposed as empty rhetoric unaccompanied by good deeds, will continue to do what it was it was designed to do: distract the American people from thinking rather than acting through a knee-jerk fear.

    I agree that Gore is 10 times more favorable than the impeached ex-presidents wife but that’s not really saying much(10×0=0.) We all need to remember that Gore isn’t a scientist, he’s a politician. Therefore, most of what he does has a political agenda.

    In this case, I suspect he’s using global warming as a shiny object to divert everyones attention from his real vision of a Socialist America. Extreme lefties such as Gore and the impeached ex-presidents wife, along with folks like George Soros, Cindy Sheehan, and Michael Moore have steered the democratic party to the extreme left through the use of intimidation and fear.

    GW Bush’s presidency and the quagmire that is now Iraq has been an obvious failure, and the neo-cons and religious right have done equal damage to the Republican party. I think everybody but the most extreme people on the right will sadly agree with this. So where does that leave those of us that are somewhere in the middle looking for someone rational to run the country?

    Sadly I thinks it’s probably up poop creek with no damn paddle!!!
