Gore Daughter: ’08 Run Not Happening

I believe at some point the party heads will approach him and tell him it is he duty to run. He is the only one able, the only problem is the willing.

Al is too busy raking in bucks from the global warming hysteria. Cult leaders only dream of such a following of lemmings. Why hasn’t a reputiable reporter ever asked Al Gore if Martians are driving Hummers too? Seems their planet is experience the climate changes too.

One thing is for sure, and that’s the fact that he’s alot brighter than you Tim.

I wish that he would run – but if he does, the Democratic Party will come apart at the seams because there has been too much effort and committment by mid-level party activists to not nominate Hillary. A loss under a Hillary nomination might be less disruptive then a fight between Hillary supporters and Gore – the rest of the nation, led by Republicans, would love to see that cat/dog fight.

Albert will NOT run because he is
raking in the money with his new
Carbon Credit industry.
Bigger than AMWAY and just about
legal! First you tell everyone the reason that Mother Earth has gone up a degree in warmth over the last 50 years is..hold on now…it is M A N!
OK, then you come up with a way to
curb MAN’S guilt for trying to kill Mother Earth..but how? Oh lord I know,
MAN can send me (Albert) a check and I
will take the money and plant a TREE! TREES ARE GOOD…MAN IS BAD! Naturally MAN can never ask just WHERE the new tree is planted because of many internal issues and such…but MAN won’t care because MAN will feel GREAT about sending the check and knowing his
BAD habits have been corrected with his GOOD TREE!
As for getting into any political race while Albert is cashing MAN’S checks…the answer to that is ARE YOU NUTS! Albert knows that people who run for office often are investigated! Just the thought of an investigation into the checks and the GOOD TREES is enough for Albert to cop a big fatty off his youngest and take the GREEN CAR for a ride!

Wonder why them Tenneseeans didn’t vote for Gore? Caused they knew how bright he is? I won’t say the Earth isn’t warming up, but what does Al think is causing the ice caps on Mars to melt? The Mars rovers? Or SUVs? Oh wait, a thinking person might wonder if it was increased solar activity, as observed by some scientists.

While he has become one of the more respected elder statesman of the Democratic Party, Gore just isn’t a good presidential candidate. I really like and respect him, but the Dems have younger guns like Edwards and Obama who can connect with the country. Gore could endorse either in the next few months and possibly sway the primaries from Mrs. Clinton.
And regarding the comments by Michale and Habib…please send me your PhD dissertations on climate change. I’ll look forward to reading your arguments and citations.

All you fools that follow this overweight lighweight, stay away from me. Stay out of the lanes I drive in, he is a very ignorant man for graduating from Vanderbilt. Hey freaks the Earth is quite old, FYI it as been heating and colling for sometime now.

Gore lost , or at best, broke even, in debating GW . . .how bright can he be?

There are a great many people fervently hoping that Al will run. Most of them are Republicans.

I don’t need a PHD in Climatology to know that Al Gore is a snake oil salesman, bar none…
But if you DO want hear about Climatology, why not ask the man who (REALLY) invented the science..
HE says that the theory of Human Caused Global Warming is a bunch of crap…
Michale…..

guess he didn’t care about the country while he was vp, considering his liberation!

j brew,
You are absolutely correct. I recommend everyone to read “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness”, by Lyle Rossiter. You will find that a lot of liberal politicians are in there. They’re SICK!

Al has been full of hate and bitterness since the presidency was “stolen” from him. At least the global warming scam is giving him a chance to have a legacy. He is playing it for all its worth (the sky is falling!!). Too bad he will be proven a fool in the long run. Maybe he can run in 2012 after Hillary crashes and burns and he has saved the planet. LOL

AL couldn’t win the White House even if he was the only one running for it. He’d find away of screwing it up again and he knows that. He’s having a time of it soaking the mindless with his sun tan movie.

Godspeed Al Gore. I didn’t vote for you in 2000 but wish that I did.
Now I can free to vote for someone else. I am leaning towards Rudy.

Why are americans always so hateful when they speak? Why is debate out and insults in? And you global warming deniers – how bad would it be for everyone if we polluted less? Would the world plummet into depression if we found cleaner ways to live?
Too bad.

Anyone truly interested in the truth about global warming should do themselves a favor and watch the BBC documentery “the great global warming swindle” I guarantee you will find yourself slapping your forhead in revelation.

The Great Global Warming Swindles has already been shown to be scientifically inaccurate, with many of the experts interviewed releasing statements that they were manipulated by Channel 4 and taken out of context. Look it up. Read it and watch the scientific rebuttal.
Royer? How do you benefit by denying global warming? Are you a scientist? What contribution to this debate can you bring, other than making a comment on a news site?

RUN AL RUN!! Please oh PULEEEEEZE run.
It would be so delicious to see the left eat their own batch of looney incompetents.

Let’s see,,, Al dropped out of Law school, & Divity school, due to poor grades, at Vanderbilt. Yea, that makes him the Bang up GENIUS Scientist that he is. Wow just what we need a MORON.

This guy is not to be trusted at “al”

Gore is waiting to see if Obama can knock Hillary out. If Obama succeeds, Gore will enter the race and Obama will ultimately be chosen as his VP. That’s the promise David Geffen probably made Obama to get him to agree to enter the campaign in the first place. And much of this is about Clinton screwing Geffen out of the promised pardon for Leonard Peltier and Gore stating he would not get into it as long as Hillary was running. Figure it out.

2 words come to mind “THANK GOD” Al Gore is the 3rd biggest clown on earth. the first is Al Sharpton, the 2nd is Jesse Jackson. Al Gore would have us trying to plant trees in the desert hand and hand with Bin Laden. What a loser!

Remember when in 2000 Gore had to hire a woman to teach him how to be a man? It would be a blessing if he would run. I’ll send him money. I’ll join his team. I’ll be his cheerleader right up until election day. Al Gore is a moron at best, and an anti-American anti-capitalist lying pig at worst.

Al Gore will not come out and say “absolutely no” for two very good reasons:
1.) Leaving the option open keeps him in the spotlight which brings attention to his global warming cause. He is not stupid, and getting it “over with” would be of no use to him at all. Why throw away all that publicity and leverage?
2.) Al Gore has ties to Michael Bloomburg. I doubt he’d go for Veep round-two, but he might consider supporting a 3rd party candidate with Bloomburg’s evironmental credentials… or at least hold out the possibility that he could, to let the Dems know they cannot take his endorsement for granted.

Global Warming? Haven’t we had the global warming since the begining of the end of the ICE AGE?

It is apparent that only a few moronic deniers like me are standing in the way of Al’s noble crusade to save the world. Al may be right; but couldn’t he more effectively advance his cause by publicly debating an opposing climatologist rather than dismissing all dissenting opinion? Tough to respect such a position.
Ron

His daughters are SIZZLIN’ Hot!

Like I said, profound ignorance.
“Geologist,” you’re argument isn’t even logical. Nobody said that burning fossil fuels was the ONLY way to put CO2 into the atmosphere. Yes, it happened in the Mesozoic due to geologic and other natural processes. That is irrelevant to why it is happening NOW. In fact, that just proves that the atmosphere CAN be warmed by CO2, so… um.. maybe we should be careful with it.
People, science is a weight-of-evidence process. Nobody’s favorite dissident “scientist” is going to shift that weight in ANY direction very fast. And the weight, for those who look beyond their hand-picked “experts,” is firmly in favor of anthropogenic global warming.
Neither I nor Al Gore pretend to be climates scientists. We are just awake.

Why is this a story?

I’m an Independent — will not vote
for Gore, but HE WILL CHALLENGE
Clinton and Obama as a Pres. candidate
in Dec or Jan. as the Dem. candidates
are terribly boring already and he
will inject some needed action into
the Pres. race. He hates the Clintons
and would love to overthrow her desire
to be Pres. Obama is a light-weight without strong connections with big-time politicians and decision-makers. Gore will definitely make the race more interesting – so don’t bet against
him.

Millions of dollars versus pain in the neck job. DUH!
Gore had his chance to be president and all it would have taken was some stones. After Clinton was impeached by the House, Gore only needed to go to the Democratic leadership and tell him it was time to go. Had he done that he would have been president and got reelected and no Bush. But no he had to be in that driveway photo op of we stand by our man. Bad choice Al.

Too bad if he doesn’t run. It was most pleasurable casting a vote against the inventor of the internet, and it would likely be more satisfying to vote against a co-inventor of the global warming scare cult

Tims response saying that Gore was not particularly bright is so LAUGHABLE. After 8 years of this bumbling idiot that can’t even complete a full sentence. Gore has forgotten more than Bush will ever know.

Copymom97 made me do an old fashion Danny Thomas spit-take! Our current president is an Ivy League graduate. Al Gore flunked out of just about every study he tried. Al Gore had to hire a woman to teach him how to act like a man. Yeah, real brilliant guy there. Too bad even Tennessee didn’t want the phony.

Haha, it cracks me up to read comments from all the people Algore has duped. The planet warms up, the planet cools down. That’s the way things work. Algore can’t make money off that though. And guess what, if all his recommendations actually happen, it won’t be American’s that suffer, it will be people in developing nations that are screwed, but Algore doesn’t care about that because he already has his mansion.

Al please get into the LOCK BOX!!

I would love to see Algore run. He still would not carry his home disrict. Another man from the great state of Tennessee would. I really really think Mr. Algore needs a bit of mental help. Didn’t he have lower grades in college than President Bush? Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Ah If Al had only anly latched on to the Y2K debacle….Where would we be today.

This is another hugely simplistic argument based upon no real facts, nor rational though, just pure emotion.
By your twisted logic, I guess Al Gore has duped nearly the entire scientific community, developed this theory all on his own, and is just doing this to get rich.
I think before you just shrug your shoulders on whether or not the planet is warming you may want to do some reading and research. Educate yourself. Have you?
You are completely wrong in thinking that only the developing nations would be affected. This is an interconnected world and we are very dependant upon many developing nations. So even global climate change repercussions would happen in isolation (which they won’t) and only to them, we’d still be LARGELY affected.
I’ll just take sea level rise/hurricane intensity (there are other big problems with climate change) Do you have statistics on what percentage the US population is on the coasts? How easy will it be for us to relocate millions of people when the sea level rises? What if we start seeing just 1 Katrina like storm a year? How many billions or trilions is that going to cost us?
Do your homework, do you research, do a real debate and explain why you think the argument from MANY, MANY SCIENTISTS is wrong. Get over the fact it’s Al Gore delivering the message.

I remember him laughing at Ollie North concerning warnings about Osama Bin Laden. But if he runs against Hillary I would vote for him just for laughs. We all know that Clinton’s antics ruined his run in 2000.

To Doug, that was NOT a story or made up tale by me. I sat right there and watched it on the evening news after it happened. I did notice that it ran very few times, as I don’t think the newsman noticed how much an idiot Gore made of himself. We are talking about a man who claims the he started the internet for Pete’s sakes. You are living in a dream world, Doug, if you think that he is president material.

You STILL are not explaining WHY you think Climate Change is not being caused by humans. If you backed it up with real knowledge and not a gut feeling, then your arguments would carry much more weight.

Well, Doug, atacking Al Gore and Whole World Heating Hoax is a two-fer. The hoax is as political as it gets. Earth is not in dire straits. It has warmed and cooled before and it will warm and cool again. Liberals like Al Gore and all the idiots he can get to buy into the hoax have an agenda. The agenda allows the “belief” to happen. It isn’t the cockamamie “science” – which is so shakey it can’t even be debated by Al Gore himself.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderous day if liberals could find something positive to promote? But **no**, it will always be doom and gloom. Liberals, it seems, think they can’t control people unless the people are doomed.

Amen, brother Gene!

It seems to me that you folks are involved in a useless argument. You have a clash of world views which don’t have any similar foundations from which to start. On the one side, you have (mostly) liberal folks who have a secular/naturalistic world view which demand man to solve all of the problems of the world and blames same for them. On the other side you have some folks that hold to a notion that, although we are responsible to be as good stewards of the earth as we can, there are some things that are clearly not in the realm of human (alone) cause or repair.
This debate will not end. GW’s will simply not accept any evidence that might indicate a contrary opinion, regardless of the source of the opinion. So, in short, while it is fun to point out the silliness of the GW arguements, sadly, there will be no effect. They will hold to the theory until the next Global Cooling rage and call conservatives fools because they don’t just accept it.
Cheers

To discover just how dim “Al” is, one only needs to go to any search engine & type in Al Gore Education. There you will discover that he was a drop out. If all of you liberals possessing the stupidity gene would just learn to think for awhile, you would discover that your heros are really a bunch of coward ZEROS.

“Apparently you don’t remember Carter giving away our Panama Canal, do you?).”
Yes. I know. I don’t understand that one at all.
“You curse Bush for his war, but libs never bitched about Clinton putting us in a useless war in Bosnia.”
I never said anything about Bush, but I’m very concerned and actually have no position now. I see both arguments.
“Illegals are going to be his and our downfall, I’m afraid, and neither party wants to stop it.”
I share your concern. My biggest problem is that my ancestors came here legally many moons ago and did the right thing. We have laws for a reason.
“We are here for a finite time, and no matter what we do, someday this will all end in an instant. We all just need to go along with the ride while we are here and others quit trying to make it miserable for us however they can. What do you think, Doug?…”
All great points you made about Yellowstone, volcanoes, etc, but the probabilites are pretty low of happening in our lifetimes or our children’s lifetimes.
If the scientists are right, climate change effects could happen very shortly. We are seeing the effects. Ice is melting in the artic, spring is coming earlier, summers are hotter, etc.

Well Doug, I think I can enlighten you on why the ice is melting here and there, and you should take note that the obvious reason is being mysteriously kept quiet. I believe you have heard about the Sun, specifically sun spots. They come in 11 year cycles, and right now they are at their high level. Haven’t you also noticed lately that it is easier to get sunburned now? As you know, the Sun is the main heat generator here on earth, and right now it is going nuts with activity, but you won’t hear that from the government or media, will you?
Again I repeat, we as puny little humans, cannot compare anything we put out to what nature can do. That has been proved over and over again way back before we popped up here on this third rock from the Sun.
You can go ahead and do what you want to do about GW if it makes you feel good, but leave me out of it. You can do like that dumb old lady did I recently heard about, she gave to money Al’s company so he would plant a few trees for her so she could quit feeling guilty about driving her big gas guzzling car around. Go for it Doug, that should make you feel better too.

I guess you think that I forgot to answer you question about Gore’s policies. I didn’t forget, there is no need to answer that, it should be obvious. If I don’t like him, I wouldn’t like his policies. I think/know that he is stupid, but does know how to fool a lot of people like him. He is out to make more millions for himself to keep his lifestyle by pushing another political agenda that invades people’s lives. His liberal followers think that GW deniers should be shot because we don’t think like they do. With liberals, nobody else’s thoughts and ideas count, only theirs. This is what scares me about liberal politicians, as they are in power that can affect me and my life in bad ways.
This is enough for one night, I’m going to let you all fight it out without me here. It’s been interesting, though. Gene

Al Gore is an idiot to say the least. All of his rederick is just a ploy to get another democrat into office. What would they do if another terrorist attack happened? All they talk about is what a joke Bush is but they have no plan for stopping the onslot of muslims, mexicans, into this country. And now they pulled the witness protection for whistle blowers. Great move (again) on the part of the democrats!

All of you global warming believers make me laugh. The earth has been here millions and millions of years. There has been cooling and warming periods. Animals have become extinct, thank goodness (I would hate to be driving down 1-75 and run into a dinsaur!). What arrogance it takes to think man caused this so called dilemma. The earth will be here millions of years after mankind has killed each other off!!!!!

Thanks guys for the debate.
I’m sorry I got spirited at first and got some people angry. That really accomplishes nothing and it was wrong of me. I apologize.
Want to say I’m grateful for the discussion with everyone, even with those who disagree. Debate is healthy and good.
As for me, I’ll continue to try to do more on conservation and being a better steward of the environment. I can’t or won’t be perfect, but I’ll try. It’s reasonable and I feel it is the right thing to do.

Al Gore is a has been and he’s a disgrace. Let’s just pray that he never gets it in his head to run for anything again. He’s a loser.

Gore is an IDIOT and most people know it but Hillary (and Bill) are far worse for America and the world and everyone should know and understand this:
THEY ARE BOTH in the WORLDS TOP 10 of the 25 MOST EVIL PEOPLE Of THE last 100O YEARS According to a poll taken by the NY Post in 1999..
According to the NY Post Poll Conducted from 9/30/99-11/1/99 Among NY Post.com Users
** NB: Write In Means: people had to WRITE IN their names because they were NOT ON THE INITIAL LIST
SOME LEGACY FOR THE REAL CLINTONS, hey?
And Al will always be remembered as one of the Democrats top IDIOTS right up there with Ted, Kerry, Biden, Reid and a host of other Democratic Party!
No respect here for any of these.

Obama, Al Gore, Guiliani or Romney is not the point here. From reading the comments here it seems that apart from genetic diseases there are two other disorders that people pass on to their children – their religion and their political leaning. 99 % of the people never even bother to read news coming from other parts of the world. Most of us have very poor knowledge of Geography. This is a generation that grew up with ‘Ritalin’ aas a nutritional supplement.
Most people never even think for themselves. We are getting smacked right and left in an unwinnable war and are accruing debt from the Chinese and the Sheiks which many of us (or our children) will have to pay back. This is because we are a nation of goats that gets herded by the media and because we appoint politician Judges. The Republicans only watch FOX and the Democrats only stick with the so called ‘Liberal Media”.
For those who cursed Gore out – Gloat in his misery, for you will have your share later.

The Taipei Times is reporting that Al Gore’s daughter, 28, married a Taiwanese man named Bill Lee, 36. So GORE is now related to Taiwan. This is big news in Taiwan today.

gore is a bore! he’s liar, watch if there is a solution it should of worked by now but there isnt it’s all funding for this guy make enough money off scared baby boomers who are getting older by the minute and cant survive without commercials telling them how to and then he will disappear and the story on the news will change due to weather patterns of next week’s forcast perdictions and nothing will get done, just like every other issue that comes up every four years.

Something is causing events that Gore attributes to ‘global warming’. The world, as those of us living today have always known it to be is changing rapidly. Simply stated, your odds of surviving climate change decreases as climate change speed and degree increases.

IMO Al Gore has become extremely wretched on the inside due to his loss in 2000 by about 500 votes in Florida. So much so that he now takes comfort in terrorizing the rest of the planet that “civilization is going to be wiped out” with his fake scare about supposed Global Warming. He wants to eventually create a world where we all point an accusatory finger at each other in the street of who has a toaster or who flew where for vacation. He wants to sore the life eperience of all living people because he hates the world and everyone in it, all because he is a sore sour bitter loser. I ignore the creep as much as possible but would love to see him lose again.

I WON’T MISS HIS NAME ON THE BALLOT.
NOW ABOUT HIS GLOBAL WARMING NONSENSE, I HOPE EVERYONE TAKES NOTICE THAT MOST OF THE WEATHER STATIONS USED TO COLLECT THE BASIC DATA ARE LOCATED IN PLACES THAT HAVE COLLECTED ERRONEOUS DATA FOR DECADES. THEY ARE LOCATED NEXT TO A/C EXHAUST, NEXT TO ALPHALT PARKING LOTS OR RUNWAYS, BUILDINGS ETC,ETC, AND HAVE RECORDED PHONY HIGH TEMPS. FOR YEARS. HIS WHOLE PREMISE IS BASED ON BAD DATA!!!!

Gore should run, you should run Sir! Even if it is just to run. Some people have a responsibility and he does. He would not win, but he could bring into the debate something that must be talked about! It almost makes me mad. What a way to get the message out, but to sit it out, because the Republic is hard to deal with, I get it, but still. Stand up to it! Stop being a, well I cannot say that here.

IF AL GORE WAS A MAN OF EVEN A SLIGHT BIT OF CHARACTER HE WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH HIS SON IN CALIFORNIA WHEN HIS SON WENT TO COURT THE OTHER DAY. WHERE THE HECK WAS DAD?
DICK

As a Canadian who loves the US, has family there and truly respects the country and people, and who has perhaps somwhat of an objective perspective because I really don’t care who your President is; reading these comments which vary from mild love/hate to outright left wing-right wing venom, makes me realize, yet again, how superficial and destructive the US political landscape is.
Some idiot is poking fun that Gore has gained weight or is mentally unstable. How childish is that??? Al Gore might be God’s gift or a complete joke, and whether he wrote “The Assault on Reason” or had someone else do it for him, the issues raised in the book (which have nothing to do with Al’s tiring rants about climate change, true or not) are what Americans should really be focusing on. And they are not.
What they are focusing on is varying degrees of hate and intolerance for differing opinions (see comments above for example), and Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, or regularly falling into a CNN-induced trance from the constantly flashing tacky graphics. Same goes for Fox. Hey, if I want that crap I’ll buy a Playstation. These networks don’t want your opinion (which is what a democracy is supposed to be- give & take), they want your attention.
So with the book, look beyond the obvious Bush-bashing because Gore lost the presidency and he had a right to be just a little bitter, don’t you think? And here’s my advice- put down your collective American McHappy meals and take a look at what your government is up to inside the United States and around the world- and not just inside Iraq. In a democracy (hey, we have a parlimentary system up here that has worked in England and elsewhere long before this whole President a.k.a. King BS came along, and the system works because we are governed by the people, rather than having a system where one person governs FOR the people.
Cheap shot here- we also -painfully at times- respect international law, and it’s unlikely Canadians are out there torturing. The US border at Maine didn’t immunize us from the pain of 9/11 and something has to be done, and yes I realize it’s a big bad world out there, but when you throw away the principles of basic human rights and what has guided a country between right & wrong for over 200 years, what’s next? Wiretapping citizens or denying the right to a fair trial? No, they wouldn’t do that in a democracy, would they?
And before you crap on Canadians (it’s okay to crap on me), we have a tenth of your population, we have soldiers dying constantly in Afghanistan (where everyone agrees the real bad guys are), and when you hear about any terrorists coming into the US from Canada, remember the often-overlooked fact that we don’t stop people from leaving this country, US customs is suppposed to stop them from getting into yours. Our borders are far too welcome, but that’s another matter- and not a point of pride for us Canadians. Obviously though, so are yours.
So even if you loath Al Gore, go to a library and get the book so you don’t have to buy it, and you might consider actually constructively engaging in a political system that is totally flawed rather than watching “Idol” & “Dancing with the Stars”.
God Bless America. Because if this great country keeps going the way it is, you’re going to need all the help you can get.

Earth; a speck of dust enveloped in a bubble of Air, a drop of Water added for good measure, we spin at 1000 miles per hour and fly thru space at 17000 miles per hour. What is it we control?

Too bad the Canadians think we are great but we just tromp around the world spitting crumbs and tracking mud on the carpets. Just delightful that they think we sould be protecting their borders from bad guys, weeee! this is so much fun.

Our last two Presidents (Clinton AND W. Bush) have hurt our nation based on their selfishness. I really would like to see a fresh new candidate not linked to Clinton/Bush win. We are dying as a people for moderate and thoughtful governance.

How much of your brain do u have to have removed to be a Gore supporter???..98%????

A loser like Al Gore can never accept defeat. He can’t accept the fact that he IS a real loser. He’ll run again and he’ll lose again because that’s what losers do. And when everyone finally realizes his Global Warming hoax is just that, he’ll go on to something else – like save the cocont trees – the world is losing its coconut oil. Hey Al, get back on the medication, please.

I want to hear even the worst case scenarios on this topic and the best…

“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.” H.L. Mencken

I believe Al Gore is a very good person, and I’m sure he’d make a great president too.
Unfortunately, the decision to run for president is his to make, not ours, and it doesn’t sound like he’s gonna do it.
Major “oh, well,” but good luck to him in whatever he does.

I agree with most of the writers here. Gore shouldn’t run. But I believe it is because this sad, arrogant bunch half wits doesn’t deserve him. I believe they deserve the government they’ve got; filthy, corrupt and adulterous. I further believe that they should continue to poison the planet (regardless of temperature fluctuation) and fill the coffers of our Arab enemies. Since I have no kids, I won’t worry myself over the enormous debt the “righties” kids and grand kids will suffer with. I think that trying to fill the now-empty coffers of our treasury by having America become a leader in new energy technologies is just plain stupid. I mean look what the internet did to our economy! It took Bush almost two years to put us back in the kind of debt Reagan worked so hard for. According to more screw balls, this country will be remain dangerously uninsured for many years to come and in 2015, when 75% of us will be overweight, that should work out nicely. Please, eat as much as you can, pollute as much as you can, finance terror as much as you can, and exhibit as little intellectual curiosity or reason as you possibly can. American may not be in first place in virtually any prominent category of success anymore, but the bottom spot is wide open and I think we can win it!

It’s odd how many people here say that people who believe the scientific consensus are “stupid.” Scientists all go through rigorous bachelor’s and post-baccalaureate study and are a great deal more educated than you G.E.D. having, Chevy Suburban driving, Big Mac eating, Wal Mart Shopping, Bush voting idiots.
You think maybe these scientists “learneded” something in school, while you were helping cletus run over skunks for dinner, or getting incredibly wasted? That maybe if they have done statistical analysis and come to a consensus global warming is man-made we should at least consider the likelihood of it being true?
Nah. Let’s just call them “wackos.”

by defintion one out of two people are below average intelligence.
We know what side of the ledger global warming doubters belong to.

Gore will run in a minute if the opportunity arises. Let us all hoe he does as he( like Hilly) has no chance of being Presdent.

Gore would be a slam dunk to win the presidency but that said so would any other Democrat against the weak field of Republican candidates. The only Republican running that would give the Democrats a tough fight is Ron Paul but the establishment Republicans don’t like him because he is a real conservative and shows them for what they are, phonies.

We all know what the polls say at this point, right? 70% or Americans have awakened to the understanding that our government (including Rep. and Dem. reps, by the way) has served us poorly. The other 30% seem to be contributors to this comment stream!

Too bad Gore won’t run. He would have to answer questions on his man-made global warming beliefs that are unsupported and proven false.

Consensus is not science; and science is not consesus. Computer models are not science they are guess work.
It only takes one scientist to be right to disprove the consensus. There are several examples in history where consensus has been dramatically wrong and those who sought to tell the truth were attacked, persecuted and shunned.

“Just think, all that Gore had to do was win his home state of Tennessee and he would have been President.”
That is a false statement. He also had to prevent the Bush fascists from stealing the election in Florida. That he was unable to do or he would be president without his home state.

Wow, you guys seriously don’t get it do you?
It isn’t about global warming. It wouldn’t matter at all if it weren’t even being discussed. We don’t make enough oil here in the USA, so we buy it from anti-American terrorists (half of our enemies in Iraq are Saudi… and the 911 highjackers were… um, oh, skip it). The fact that our Vice President spoons with these evil-doers after financial intercourse is just trivial. As long as we buy it, we arm them. So we need to find other ways to keep our delicious and nutritious Miller Light cold and our highways full.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
Liberals have a hard time dealing with
the facts.

How is Gore “raking in the bucks from Global Warming”. The statement is absurd, he has donated millions of dollars along with pretty much all his time. He would almost certainly be making far more money if he was doing the sorts of things most other ex-vice presidents do (paid-for rather than voluntary seminars, business, lobbying etc.).

Oh, speaking of our oil. I live in Tx and have a friend who works for a company that drills oil wells. He says he drills almost a well a week. Then they cap it. Makes sense to me, record profits and put what you got aside, just the way it is. Although we have the oil we can just run the prices and profits on the middle east and when it is no longer attainable our oil will be at a much bigger time premium.We have the oil, it is about money.

Why would he want to run again? He already won one election and got screwed out of the presidency. If we’ve learned anything, it’s that history does repeat itself.

What an incredibly low level of discourse in the posted comments for this article.
Many of the posts critical of Al Gore seem to be written by the same person using different names. Does anyone else find this a little suspicious? What’s really going on here?
The next time anyone tells you that Al Gore is motivated by personal greed, it’s important to remember that many more people stand to gain financially if they can demonize Al Gore in our minds and then convince us that the overwhelming majority of the scientific community is somehow blindly following his lead.
Economic and Political Science teaches us that the Status Quo (powerful corporations who’d like to keep doing what they’ve been doing, for example) are always more passionate and forceful than those individuals who hope for something new but not yet obtained (the human right to live in a healthy environment, for example).

Don’t get me wrong Al did have his hands in it a little in 1991 Congress passed the Gore Bill to create the National Research and Education Network, or NREN initiative. In another sign of popularity, privacy becomes an ‘issue,’. But long after the 1962 creation of Arpa by the government.

Martha, I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s uncanny how many postings make the absurdly insurportable claim that Gore is profiteering off of global warming. It’s either the same misguided conservatives incapable of understanding the concept of decency, integrity, scruples, and a former politician like Gore who is actually looking out what’s best for the people and environment of this planet. Hard to grasp for Republicans whose ideology promotes greed, selfishness, intolerance and cynicism.

First of all, global warming is not a big deal!! It is a big push by the government to control the people and to scare them. It is another case of man trying to play god. Al Gore may not realize he is subject to a higher God than himself (so he thinks himself to be God). Global warming is natural and is going to happen, I feel there is nothing man can do about it,it is in God’s hands. I will die before I follow the Al Gore religion and believe any word that comes out of his mouth.

Need another example of Gore the
hypocrite:
Gore used the death of his sister, Nancy, from smoking-related cancer as a prop, saying in 1996, “that is why until I draw my last breath, I will pour my heart and soul into the cause
of protecting our children from the dangers of smoking.” Seven years after her death, Gore was still on the Big Tobacco dole – accepting tobacco money and accepting government subsidies for the tobacco he still grew on his Tennessee farm.

It does seem some people are spending an unreasonable amount of time bashing Mr. Gore.
Reading through these posts, one must always contemplate the fact that anything can be posted or blogged on the internet and that many things said here could have absolutely no basis in fact.
Whenever I see people obfuscating the real issues, are extremely defensive, are over the top extreme in their views, claim outlandish things, it sets off red flags for me and I question what exactly they have to gain by posting.
Bottom line, always do your own resarch and educate yourself on the issues. Don’t let hot air or extreme opinions sway you. Never allow party affiliation make your decisions for you.

“By the way, a Hummer is more eco- friendly than a Prius. From beginning to end a Hummer will cost $2.07 per mile to operate and a Prius will cost $2.87.”
I’m going to read up on that and arrive at my own conclusion.
My thoughts are that if you buy a Hummer or equivalent, you are buying old, outdated technology. If you buy the Prius, a Ford Escape hybrid or a Lexus hybrid, you are buying cutting edge technology.
Cutting edge is innovative and interesting. Old technology is more of the same.
As more people buy hybrids, the technology improves. For instance, the 2009 Prius may see 113 mpg. To me, that’s exciting.

I think it may be difficult for even an educated individual to do the kind of research necessary to determine the factual accuracy of the Climate change hypothesis. In fact, it may be irrelevant. What is important is to realize a reoccuring theme throughout nature: conservation. So why argue with being conservative about resources in the same way that nature is conservative.
Also, as always, ask yourself who stands to benefit from promoting this kind of conservativism.

I started reading these letters but am so grosssed out by the mean spiritedness shown by all you reppublicans who are so scaared of Al. I’m a Tennessean who admires Al Gore enormously and who always votes Democratic. The more I read your vicious letters the firmer is my committment to the Democrat party and to Al Gore! You go Al.Keep up the good work and never pay attention to these who don’t agree with your globabal warming philosophy. They’re the ones who are ruining our environment. Joyce

No one is “scared” of that twit Al Gore. He is a hypocrite and a opportunistic liar. Those characteristics do not instill “fear” in others. One does not have to be “scared” to disapprove of someone like Al Gore. One just has to be “intelligent”.

But he’s not running for president. Vote for Ron Paul instead.
BTW, Al Gore has accomplished more, made more money, and is known and liked world wide more than his haters. Eat your heart out!
