Gore Talks About What Might Not Have Been, Compares Obama to Lincoln

And hence we see why Tipper Gore was so intensely interested in mental health issues while Al was VP.

I thought democrats didn’t like to compare themselves to Republicans. Abram Lincoln was a republican even-though I think most democrats thinks he was a democrats.

Obama talks about strong national security, but he’s on tape saying that he’d cut missile defense and cut tens of millions of dollars in defense.

Gore is a fruitcake. Bush hasn’t been the best president we’ve ever had, but I’m still glad we didn’t get Gore and hope that we don’t get Obama.
I just wish Gore would save the planet by shutting his enormous mouth.

Nobel price winner given by liberals..duh.. vs worst president of the united states..lets get jimmy carter a break.

Look at all those beautiful Americans at that convention….

The Mountain will be moved

He compared B.O. to Republican Abe Lincoln? Classic.

OMG Al Gore?! Didn’t he loose a presidential election? Oh right! HE DID!
Obama is Lincoln? That is Gore’s latest revelation? And I thought Obama was the biggest idiot on the planet. Thanks Al for clearing that up.

“Odd that he would compare Obama with the first Republican president.”
Its a good way to demonstrate how far the Republican party has fallen from their birth as a strong advocate for the people.
Teddy Roosevelt (also a celebrated Republican) instituted the estate tax as means of preventing aristocracy in America.
Now Republicans react like the estate tax is the worst thing in history.
The Republicans of yesterday would spit on Republicans today.

Oh look another impersonator!
So is it 13 year olds playing games or just right wingers?
I know I know, what;s the difference between the two.

Didn’t Al flunk out of Vanderbilt’s law school? Didn’t GW have a higher SAT score than Al? Oh, my…more inconvenient truths.

Change – and that’s all you’ll have in your pockets if Obama is elected!

Al Gore is personally responsible for the major percentage of global warming. The amount of hot air coming out of this self-righteous windbag is staggering.
The other major producer of hot air is Mr. Barack Hussein Obama – an empty-suite demagogue with dictatorial aspirations. A good thing is that no matter how much the media tries to shove that anti-American socialist down everyone’s collective throat, the truth is – he is still largely unelectable. You can fool some people some of the time, but you can not fool the majority. Just wait for the first debate to witness the total disintegration of that charlatan.
BTW, Lincoln was a Republican. Someone should inform the jumbo-sized nincompoop named Al Gore of that.

gore is over the edge. you people that want change from obama will want help when he gets throught with america.

Cece – I share your anger.

“before he entered the White House, Abraham Lincoln’s experience in elective office consisted of eight years in his state legislature in Springfield, Ill., and one term in Congress –- during which he showed the courage and wisdom to oppose the invasion of another country”
Huh? The South attempted to succeed from the North peacefully over excessive taxation but Lincoln insisted in “preserving the Union” and invaded the South. Lincoln burned cities to the ground, waged war on civilians, presided over the most brutal combat in U.S. history killing over 600,000 people. In the South it is still known as the War of Aggression.
Experience does matter.

And as Gore reminds us for the one-millionth time he didn’t win the election, the nation takes a collective sigh of relief. Isn’t it interesting how the left and enemies of the USA seem to be on the same side of just about every political argument? I’m sure Sadaam would have loved to see Algore in the whitehouse…if he wasn’t at room temperature, that is.

Gore – the inventor of internet, the role model for “Love story” the “foremost climate scientist” is at it again.
However, this time he has outdone himself – he brought Lincoln back to life turn in his grave.
That’s really impressive, even more than losing your own home state in a Presidential election….
PS
Lincoln was a Republican

Democrat Fact Checker – I’ve noticed that. And they get the endorsements most of us would reject.

Gotta love it. Lincoln said I have no problem with slavery if it will keep the USA united..now Obama and Lincoln are alike…how cute

By the way….if you remember, Lincoln started a Civil War too! Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!

This is a truly bizarre speech on many levels, but the Lincoln comparison is astounding. Gore is referring to the Mexican War, following the secession of Texas from Mexico. In defending Texas and routing the Mexican Army, the areas of California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada all become part of the US Territories. This action has never been “condemned by history” as far as I know, except by the Mexican government. To Gore, apparently history is written by the losers.

Comparing Barack Obama to Abraham Lincoln is ridiculous. Rather than making the case that Obama is ready for the presidency, it further diminishes the credibility of the Democrats’ efforts to make the case for Obama.

I love it how the Democrats keep talking about how McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. So did they on Iraq funding. The very war they claim to be against. They voted for most of the bills that “increased our debt”. So tell me, why should we trust them now?

For sake, Al. Can we at least have our next civil war first before proclaiming Obama the new Lincoln? And don’t you know by now it always requires a republican to preserve the union while the dems are always trying to tear it apart…err…I mean institute “change”?

That was an entertaining speech tonight by Al Gore. I particularly enjoyed the recycling line. For the record, GWB is the worst president in U.S history. Great use of 1 trillion dollars: to remove a declining and relatively weak dictator. Why doesn’t anyone care about the money we wasted in Iraq?

Who are all you? I will never get used to people badmouthing Obama, saying he will drive our country into a ditch, while being completely oblivious to the fact that we are already in a ditch, driven there by Bush, Cheney, and so many others who lied to everyone. . You dont even know what you believe in.

Al Gore couldn’t even win his home state. He is a joke.

amazing all the hatred out there.
You people who blame Clinton/Gore for Sept. 11 have simply not read all the facts. You know, the facts that were presented to them upon passing of the torch from Clinton to Bush. They chose to ignore the threats pointed out. And they led this country to war with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Wake up, already. There have been enough investigations to refute most of which you say here. Do some research and you may just change your vote this November. If for no other reason than discovering the leadership of this country lied more than told the truth. Jeez, you people give me great hope that the truth will ultimately set you free.

Correction to a few bellow. When the U.S.S Cole was attacked by Al Qaeda when CLINTON was in office, what did he do about this terrorist attack? Nothing. Osama was in crosshairs and the choice was up to CLINTON whether or not to pull the trigger. He said, “no”. These two events lead up to 9-11-01 in which Bush was only in office for not even a year. The prior administration is at fault for being weak on terrorism and whether Bush is a moron or not, at least he has guts.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 but sometimes you have to meet a bully in his own backyard to protect your own. Saddam was blamed and he said to “bring it on”. There’s more intel going on than you think and not everything has to be approved by the wee little public to go into motion. In fact, there’s a lot more than the public even knows about these wars.
Could you imagine Obama in charge of all of this? Yikes….

LINCOLN FREED THE SLAVES LONG AFTER HE MISSPOKE IN HIS EARY DAYS,IT WAS POLITICS AT THE TIME..

Kathy -Al Gore had the 2000 election STOLEN from him. We would be a different America if he had been in the White House. Bush is a complete disgrace and has destroyed our country.In my heart, Al Gore will ALWAYS be my president.”
How sweet that you have decided to sit frozen in a time warp. Who is paying for your little fantasy – Hopefully a trust fund and not the taxpayers.

There are some pretty interesting views and comments here, but I have to state that “Peach 9:17:33″‘s comment really gave me a chuckle !

Hey Stella,
Did I hit a nerve? Maybe you can recall how Clinton/Gore drastically reduced our intelligence community, and you may also recall that most in the CIA & FBI were still Clintonites on Sept.11th. Condi
Rice & Bush were blindsided by Stupid Dems who were too busy having fun and counting chads. None of you are worthy to tie Condi Rice’s shoe (excuse me..boot laces).

During the Civil War Lincoln declared a State of Emergency and suspended Habeus Corpus…. the Obamamanics never would have supported that move.
Obama = Lincoln? They get more ridiculous by the day.

Hahaha, the worst president in history? Based upon what Ryan? That distinction is reserved for Carter.
Maybe you should explain why Bush is the worst?

The greatness of a democracy is directly related to the quality of its political discourse. If most of the commentators on this site are any reflection, America is in deep trouble. But then again they are Republicans, fearmongered into rabidly defending an ideology that has created enormous debt, eroded civil liberties and been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. Nice work. Just goes to show how subjective reality is.
Al Gore has done more to raise awareness of global environmental issues than anyone on earth I think. Some of us believe we shouldn’t crap all over our home and deplete it of resources that future generations will need. Got a problem with that?

Why can’t most people see the truth? Right wing or left wing, it is the same bird. At this level of government, no one is out to help you – they are out to help themselves! They make millions at our expense. Pelosi is now backing a “comprehensive” energy plan to include natural gas, then pimps it in the media as the best possible plan. Meanwhile she and her husband invest hundreds of thousands in a natural gas energy fund. Don’t believe it? Read http://tinyurl.com/54rej9. Likewise, Al Gore sits on the board of a fund that invests in emerging “green” companies. However, his investments are worthless unless he gets federal money to support these companies. If he gets the funding, he makes 10s of millions. http://tinyurl.com/2mcl7p. How much is the Oscar worth now? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

“Al Gore has done more to raise awareness of global environmental issues than anyone on earth I think”.
Al Gore has made more money on the basis of a theory that may be right or wrong than anyone on Earth I think.

Joaquin B:
You hit the nail right on the head. Obama es un socialista disfrazado.

For the record, Obama isn’t a Lincoln, he’s better. He was right about the war from day one, unlike Lincoln’s stance on slavery. For people that don’t know, the Emancipation Proclamation was given because the North was losing their foothold on the war and they needed something to boost morale and draw attention away from the war by “getting back at the South.” However, the Proclamation worked and the North slowly started to revive, and ultimately won the war. Sorry Southerners!

Quite a few useless people have had more years of experience in Congress than Lincoln, but that does not mean they are anywhere near qualified to serve as President of the United States. (Heck, many of them aren’t even qualified to serve in Congress even though they did.)
What made Lincoln qualified to serve as President wasn’t so much the two years he spent in Congress or the time he spent in the Illinois legislature. It was his position as a national leader on the great moral issue of the day. It was his clear convictions not only that slavery was wrong, but also on a whole host of economic, transportation and trade issues that the country faced as it experienced the Industrial Revolution and a changing world.
Lincoln stood for things. Obama is hoping people will fall for anything. Obama stands for nothing. He is but an empty (designer) suit with a pretty face onto which people project their own thoughts of what a president should be. Let’s face it, Lincoln would never grace the cover of GQ today, yet he may very well have been our greatest President. Obama has a long, long way to go before he is anywhere near where Lincoln was before assuming the presidency.

Can’t wait until Obama and Gore will both be men that lost the presidential election…

Gore is a total moron!!!!!!!

History will vindicate Bush. Obama will eventually end up in a in a psych ward for treatment for his Messianic Complex. November will see President McCain.

Oh, just one more thing before I get to that good book……Al Gore’s father must be rolling over in his grave….he was one of (gee…how many Southern white Democratic Senators?)…who voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act. If you read the quotes from this “Southern bloc” of senators…it will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. History is a wonderful thing.

Will this comparison become his biggest official overstatement, shoving the invention of internet to the second place?

“Don’t Be Sheep!!! | Aug 28, 2008 10:14:54 PM”
Hopefully “Mike Robinson | Aug 28, 2008 10:14:32 PM” will read your post with an open mind. The fact that Mike stated most posters are Republicans is an interesting jump to a conclusion. I find many points to be based on fact (yet others of the usual talking point sound bites of what someone has heard rather than investigated themselves from both sides). Most Americans fully understand the need to develope cost effective energy solutions and know that you cannot turn the use of oil off without a transition period of 7-10 years to develop new cost effective technolgies, delivery infrastucture etc. The facts regarding deficits et al can be placed at the feet of both parties, those who proposed and those who accepted. Someone hit it when they stated the politicians are in it to get re-elected rather than to lead. Whatever happened to term limits !

Right on. Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore. Peace Price for what? Jimmy should build Al a new house out of straw.

Gore compares Obama to Lincoln because Lincoln failed so miserably as Commander in Chief of the military.
Had it not been for a desperate choice of Ulysses Grant after a multitude of other failures as commanders of Union forces, the Confederate States of America would exist today.
Actually, Obama is probably capable of making significantly greater blunders in about every area of government than Lincoln ever dreamed of.

Algore is a fool, he left us open to attack after the clinton gore years of the 1990′s. 1993 the twin towers were attacked. 1999 the USS Cole was attacked. Not to mention all of the other attacks that were neglected. Bush was stuck with the worst of times, the worst terrorist attack Amercians had ever seen. And the worst scum running around the middleeast making deals with terroists. We have not been attacked by terrosits since 9/11. Bush may have mishandled some of the war. But progress is positive, Iraq is secure and we are moving towards handing it over. We had fifty two months of job creation and exansion before the close of 2007. Al Gore and the Democrats want to control our lives and how much carbon we release for a theory about the planet Earth. Obama is an elitist fool, and the most unqualified of all candidates. He is an empty suit, and John McCain gets my vote becasue of his solid record even though he is not truly conservative( McCain looks like George Washington next to Obama). As Obama stated his mother was a “typical white person” so I write to you as a “typical white person” of what I think about Obama

Is there a Democratout there with an IQ over 20? Gore is as sharp as a marble.
Can you imagine that bozo responding to 9/11? Haha… he would have instructed the INS to naturalize the Taliban if they would vote for the Democrats.
P.S. Kathy – Bush won….twice! Get over it.

I sense a landslide in the making.
President McCain.
The more Mr Obama speaks, the less he says.

andrew allegra | Aug 28, 2008 10:42:37 PM
Andrew – Please don’t state facts. That might offend some on the board!
My wife is currently listening to the new Lincoln orate his vision of the Nunited States of America.

What else can Gore say he wants to head the EPA.

I am sitting here listening to the chosen one, the lord merciful, Barrack Apollo Obama. Never in the history of this country have so many been fooled by such a charlatan. His mentors, Saul Olensky, Jeramiah Wright, Karl Marx, Bill the Bomber Ayers, must be beaming. This is a dangerous man who is being run by a yet unseen pupetmaster. Probably George Soros. No dought a hater of America that wants to bring us down. This convention is a model for the Obama presidency. No tolerance for criticism of any kind, strong arm tactics on anyone who dares to focus on all the unanswered questions about his past. This man is a Chicago thug , nothing more. He will lie and hide the truth about who he really is. The Democratic party is truly lost if this is the best they can do.Unfortunately, when the lamestream media is completely sold out to him, and they refuse to investigate and blatently ignore all the questions that have been raised, it is possible that this Marxist will win. He wins, we lose. Period. This country will never recover. Our enemies will make mincemeat out of this twit, and all the ” community organizing” in the world will not save us.

And, by the way, Lincoln Fan,
Do the words “habeas corpus” mean anything to you?
Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus four different times during his Presidency.
The first time was in April, 1861, with the power given to General Winfield Scott.
By the way, the Democrat party referred to Lincoln (a Republican) as a “military despot.”
Sounds like a Lincoln fan needs to do a little reading…

Scott Mann, you are a strong one, kudos to you for being able to watch the farce being played out on TV tonight. It’s like a Greek tragedy isn’t it? Only we are the poor victims of this blow hard.

Laughing | Aug 28, 2008 10:30:38 PM
Good points. However, you state the if and the thus but not the else. If Obama does not win, or if he wins and proves to be ineffectual then ..
I would surmise the democrats would be somewhat in trouble as a party that can no longer segment specific electorate groups/factions with perhaps Hillary giving them one more at bat in 2012. I also think, in my opinion, that with the media becoming much more divergent in how issues are discussed and disseminated,both parties cannot control their message. This is a good thing for America if done with fact and objectivity rather than paid posters etc.

Where are all of the democrats tonight? Sitting in front of the TV hypnotized by the Great One, the Messiah. I’m waiting for the Red Sea to part. They are boo-hooing taken in by all that the “All Knowing” is saying. What suckers!

“With John McCain’s support, President Bush and Vice President Cheney have led our nation into one calamity after another because of their indifference to fact”
plus with the support of the Democrats in Congress. But, it is an interesting exercise to think of how Gore would have handled 9/11 attack..

Perhaps Gore forgot that Lincoln was a Republican.
Then again, Gore did invent both global warming and the Internet. I wonder which is his greater achievement.
Ultimately, one has to wonder if the economy was so wonderful, the people ever so pleased, and the world such a delight- why did Gore lose?
He is a pompous windbag.

“Gore also compared Obama to Abraham Lincoln, saying that “before he entered the White House, Abraham Lincoln’s experience in elective office consisted of eight years in his state legislature in Springfield, Ill., and one term in Congress”
Not a good comparative in my opinion. As if the world in 1860 was as complex as it is today; as if the consequences of war were as drastic as drastic then as they are today in destruction and death; as if financial instruments were as complex and opaque as they are today; as if the economy was as diversified; etx,
And what was the longevity in 1860 vs 2008?

What total and complete tripe! Al Gore thinks that Obama is a modern Lincoln. Lets see. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Ivy League education. Rich. Democrat (Lincoln was a Republican…)No accomplishments other than to be a rabble rouser and six years in the Senate. No time spent in private business….
puLEEEZ! If Gore can be that wrong about something as know-able as the life of one of our greatest Presidents, what reason is there to believe his eco-doodoo??

Point taken, Lincoln Fan.
While I find some of Lincoln’s actions and politics to be interesting, I also believe that history is written by the victors.
As for Al Gore’s comparison of Obama to Lincoln, I find Gore’s use of history as a stumping point to be repugnant at best.
Perhaps Mr. Gore would be better served to concentrate on environmental issues although his home in Tennessee does not seem to conform to his professed policies, as I understand.

Jayhawk, I will not defend his habeus corpus suspension; I don’t think anyone can. He also shut down newspapers in the North that opposed him, which is unconscionable today. No man is perfect, and I think we can agree that the American Civil War brought out the worst in many people.

“But if McCain picks a lefy for vp.”
Bloomberg would be as left as McCain would go. But Bloomberg is a social liberal like Guliani, and not sure how they get along.
But he would be a great pick or a woman.

al-gore had the election “stolen” from him.
Hahahahahaha!!!
It’s the other way around, Gore-on.
The MSM calls Michigan for al-gore.
Then, Oops!!! MSMy bad.
Oops!!! MSM takes Michigan off for al-gore.
How convenient. Especially when Florida has two timezones. And its westerly timezone is heavily Republican.
A Fluke?
Four years later the MSM reports that exit polls show Kerry “way head”. Looks like it’s going to be a landslid…uh, er what’s that?
MSM guilty.
Twice.
Or are they just incompetent?
Take your pick…

TALK IS CHEAP AL. JUST LIKE YOUR GREEN TALK. YOU FLY JETS, DRIVE BLACK SUVs AND HAVE A HOUSE USING 20X THE POWER THE COMMON MAN DOES. ALL YOU CAN DO IS TALK. CAN’T WIN, CAN’T SAVE THE COUNRTY. LIKE THEY SAY A POLITIAN ONLY LIES WHEN HIS LIPS MOVE.

Gore is the man! He just wants to save are amazingly beautiful home…full of beauty and life and love. Obama is our chance for peace, for the earth, for our rights, and for our dignity!

Obama is no Lincoln. It is offensive to compare this con artist to a great man.

“most democrats thinks he was a democrats” nice.

Ok Corey F., Obama will drive us through the ditch, off the cliff and into the ocean and then to the bottom.

Actually, Gore has done a lot for the environment, even if he himself doesn’t live green. One problem for green to take hold is the cost for the average person. There has to be govt. econ. incentives.
As for Carter, he does do a lot for the needed and Habitat for Humanity has to be commended. But I don’t like that it is associated with Emory U. where there is a large animal research lab. That is so inhuman and so dare SICK>

Gore is a fool, proving he is still a sore loser. It’s not just laughable that he compares Nobama the messiah to President Lincoln, it’s plain ignorant.
The more I learn about Nobama, the more I hope he disappears from the political arena completely.
He’s not the “1st African American” to run for prez. On his father’s side, it has been documented that that side of the family was mostly Arab. He went by the name Barry Sotero for a long time, and conveniently went back to “Barack Hussein Obama.” What a phony. He’s a zero with his lack of foreign policy experience, the economy, safety and terrorist deterrence, the military, and the list goes on and on. You could call this race the “zero vs. the Hero.” It’s no wonder that two of the books on the NYT’s 10 bestsellers is “Obamanation” and “The Case Against Barack Obama.”
Nobama has already written two autobiographies. Pretty presumptive for a 47 yr. old who is “mid-life.” The dude doesn’t understand that he isn’t “the anointed one.” He got the throngs, adulation, the coronation, and now…the temple with tonight’s Obamathon. Jim Jones come to mind?
In the end, it comes down to Obama, not the people. He’s just using them.

BHO …I feel sorry for you. Sorry for you and all who are going to let an historic moment in time pass you by. Unfortunately, there are always people like you who will close their minds to future change. To the rest of us ….we can say to our children and grandchildren … we were there!

“The more I learn about Nobama, the more I hope he disappears from the political arena completely.”
That would be his karma for being so corrupt and such a liar.

Good old Al Gore is never right on anything. His equating Lincoln and Obama is laughable. Let me offer several glaring differences. Lincoln was not a Socialist and his middle name wasn’t Hussein! Oh and one other Lincoln was elected President and bho won’t be. bho needs about 15 more years on training wheels.

More like Nixon than Lincoln if you ask me. Lincoln was a noble man–Nixon a crook. You do the math.

Gore is a certified lunatic, and always will be, the media should just ignore this loon and that’ll be the end of it. He thrives off the attention, and his personal jet! So much for global warming, Al!

Where did you people learn to hate so efficiently? I suppose if I was scared of change then I would be pretty ticked off too. You wont be able to keep America the way it was when you were 13. Get off the tracks or get run over by the Obama express.

I actually voted for Gore, but now, I can’t even stand him. I’m all for keeping the air and water clean, but I think he’s almost convinced himself that the polar ice caps have already completely melted and that’s easy to do when you live in a big house with lots of air conditioning and don’t have to go outside.
Hey wait, Lincoln WAS a Republican.

Hi,
Are you people doing the commenting here listening to yourselves? Are you sure that you ARE Americans? You are FULL of hatred against Al Gore, and his party’s nominee? Shame on you!
I am a former REPUBLICAN national political director for 3 of the 4 national GOP organizations on Capitol Hill. And, no one can disagree that GW’s Administration has been an abject failure. Those of us who are conservatives, NOT “neo-cons” but CONSERVATIVES understand that POPULISM that Sen. Obama is offering IS what the Goldwater-conservatives USED to be, but were trashed by RWR and his minions.
So,please remember we are ALL Americans.

Lyndon LaRouche says McCain will pick billionaire NYC Mayor Bloomberg for his VP as per the Anglo Dutch oligarghy. Bloomberg will fulfill the agenda of privatizing US government’s programs, infrastructure and jobs for big profit$$$ as their wealth is threatened in current depressed economy.
The solution is bringing back FDR’s economic Bretton Woods policies that caters to 80% of the forgotten people and threatens the oligarghy’s wealth.

OBAMA is nothing like Lincoln. I believe that many would agree that your personal character and life choices untimately determine who you are in the “end” and how you will be remembered. What has Obama done other that running for President? Did Gore forget that Lincoln died for his country? How does running for office compare to actually being president, overseeing a war, and giving your life for the country. Gore needs to shut his fat trap and crawl in a cave with Bin Laden. Oh, and his lil’ buddy Obamination should go too. Obama=NOTHING

Senator Obama,

The wonding american,
First you spelled your own name wrong. it is “Wondering.” Gee, you Republicans are sooo intelligent!
Next the Republicans just lost the election tonight!!! The numbers are in 100 million Americans saw Obama and a good part of the convention tonight!
ENOUGH!!!! We have all had enough of you Republican evil doers and John McCain!!!
Bye, Bye Republicans!!!!!!! American wants a new energetic leader for the 21st century, not a doddering old man……..
Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama promised us tonight that he is going to tap into our oil reserves. Whoo hoo! He’s giving us a whole 3 days more of oil. Boy that really beats drilling.
And he even admitted that he is not his brothers keeper. Yeah, his brother already knows this. It sucks to be Obama’s brother, you have to live in a hut on a $1 a month, while he lives in a mansion in Chicago. Maybe Rezko can set George up when he gets out of prison.

McCain in a landslide. Get used to it.

Gore says the US was at “peace”. Well, if being attacked throughout the globe, to include NYC in 1993, by jihadists while we did nothing (for fear of becomeing “unpopular”) is “peace”, fine, Al.
The fact is Clinton and Gore gave Bush a slumping economy after the dot-com boom went bust, a weakened military and a nation asleep as dedicated jihadists went on a bombing spree of American interestes around the globe.

Barack Obama: marxist, friend of terrorists, against survival of premature infants, friend of the “REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT”. Maybe Obama is the chicken who came back from Kenya to roost?
I can’t stand this fake guy. Neither can my co-workers and family members. Even loyal democrat white males I know are going for McCain.

Al Gore is a blowhard and a bore. Obama is not JFK, he is not Abe Licoln, he is a phony. He can align himself all he wants with great figures in history it only reveals him to be the GREAT imitator that he really is.

“Imitation is suicide”. It’s a bit perplexing to figure out who he’s imitating: the Messiah, JFK, Carter, Lincoln or whoever else. One thing I do know, he’s a fake. A good time Charlie, plastic banana. We are living in DESPERATE times, and the last person I want in charge is Obama with 170 days of experience. McCain is the only choice for America, or you can kiss our butts goodbye.

Global warming is not just Al Gore’s thing. The evidence for global warming is scientific, it’s published, it’s overwhelming. Translation: the majority of scientists of which there are thousands all over the world of many different nationalities including our own who are studying this are saying (and showing us mountains of data) that this is happening, not just Al Gore or some political party! Global warming doesn’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. We take care of our environment now or we destroy it like we have been for a long time now. Which is the better, smarter, wiser choice? I have to say I’d rather side with those that give a damn, than those that dont. Who do you think God will side with? What are you willing to risk in order to live in ignorance just a little bit longer?

Regarding Global Warming; FACT. 2008 is the coldest recorded year in the the 21st century.

Think of what a mess it would have been with delusional Gore in the seat of power. I now believe in divine intervention!

Obama equals Lincoln??..OK….Lincoln ran for at least 12 different offices before finally winning the Presidency.
Bill Ayers and Obama have 10 more races to go before even thinking baout being President of the USA.
First though Barry where is your birth certificate from Hawaii and why did you perjurer yourself on your Illinois Law Certificate?
Get Back to Me Barry…OR Bill AYers..

Gore got one of his wishes: Globalization. Now he needs Obama to secure the socialist aspects so he can see his vision of the world within his lifetime. (Just read Gore’s early writings before he jumped into the full-time eco-warrior role.)
The man is smart; he’s entitled to his opinions. But like Obama, it’s HIS version of what the world should be. Nevermind the electorate’s opinion.
And btw, the electorate spoke: He won the popular vote, he lost the electoral college votes. Does that mean he’s justified? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.
Regardless of it all, I find these general elections distasteful. Must we bash the current Commander-in-Chief? Can Obama ever deliver FACTS behind his gradiose statements and pledges? He has so much planned… but fails to include the electorate on WHAT he will actually do (the details). That’s NOT a President of the U.S. of A. that I want elected.
Vote McCain. ‘Nuff said.

Obama = Lincoln? Ah, no…for starters, Lincoln was a Republican.

So glad there are still some Americans who are not bamboozled by this charlatan! CNN analysts are calling Obama’s acceptance speech a “symphony” and that it was absolutely brilliant. I saw a man who lies about everything in order to have people think he’s a great man!!
He says his grandmother had to work her way into middle-management. Since when is VP of Bank of Hawaii middle-management? Pretty much top of the heap as far as that goes!
I like the part of not taxing 95% of working families because now’s not the time to tax the middle-class.
He wants to tax the rich…which, unfortunately for us, his idea of who is rich are families, not people,but families that earn $42,000/yr. Is he freaking out of his mind??
I’m from Chicago and I can tell you this guy has accomplished absolutely zero. Look at Chicago! Is it any better for him being there. Nope! He even admitted that he got more out of being a community activist then the people he was fighting for. Just another opportunist…which wouldn’t bother me so much except that I saw 80,000 people on t.v. who think Obama is the Messiah! I think the whole world must be laughing at us at how childish we are when it comes to worshipping our politicians. God help us!!

Al Gore is amusing. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story or political speech. BHO is another person who is only a hollow suit with no substance. We need a “do over” election this fall. Lord help us, we deserve the leadership we get…Lincoln? Amazing…

Gore may be an idiot but you Obama haters are skewing the point.
How are some of you comparing the republican that Lincoln stood for and the republican today?
Gore was referring to character as in Obama’s astute rhetorics and the gift of empowering people, which is one of the most important characteristics in any leader.
Let me remind you that the country is not run by one man. But if that one man has the ability to positively inspire millions?
We got ourselves a worthwhile president.

Does anybody remember how John McCain sold out the United States while he was a POW? He made a propaganda video for the North Vietnamese. The idea that he was tortured is also ridiculous. Right after his plane went down, he was immediately taken to a NVA hospital where he was cared for. DoD documents show he stayed outside of Hanoi Hilton, not in it. He was a wimp.

“Lincoln was a republican.”
So was MLK jr. (oh I know the democrats do not want you to know that, because they’re busy re-writing history, but it’s always good to find out the truth)

Would this be the same Lincoln who jailed dissenters, suspended habeas corpus, and threatened the Supreme Court if they did not support his actions? By George, I think Gore may finally have gotten something right.

Al,
Could you invent something to make yourself DISAPPEAR

Al Gore is a bitter, angry man still upset about losing the Presidential election. He is a pathetic figure.

After a while, you just have to feel sorry for the poor delusional alGore … You would think after years, the bitter angry would go a way. But not Al, he holds a grudge. So Al, prove you won, instead of trying every way you could to steal the election.
As far as Obama being Lincoln. Well that’s just downright silly. Lincoln actually did something.

Watch out for Obamaniacs. They will spout off the same dribble and sound bites while ignoring details of failure and scandal. It is the socialist mantra after all.

Mr. Gore and Mr. Obama’s earlier attempt to portray himself as the next Abraham Lincoln showed instead a woeful ignorance of Abe Lincoln, the man and the president. As president, his firmness led to secession, the Civil War in which states and families were divided and more than a million died in battle. He mourned the dead of both sides but never said that those lives were wasted. President Lincoln divided the nation,slave states vs free states, families, sons against fathers, brothers against brothers, and friends against friends in order to have one Nation under God. Mr. Obama is no Abe Lincoln.

Quite to the contrary Big Al. Lincoln was so adhered to his principles that were so unpopular that half the country seceded and riots broke out in the streets of New York. He didn’t follow polls until he made up his mind (Obama). Mr Lincoln didn’t duck debates either.

Common Sense (why do liberals and left wing nuts always choose a name thatis OPPOSITE to their character?)
Thanks for a substantive argument. Your post is full of information, logic, and reason.
Besides the FACT that Obama is a Marxist (look at his history of associations and mentors, including his mother), you forgot to mention Frank Davis and Saul Alinsky.
Barry’s agenda (and Michelle’s are no longer any secret to the American public. CPUSA, the communist website is eerily familiar. everything in the Dem platform is there but Obama’a name. Why is that I wonder? Why be so sneaky about supporting the Messiah? Is it because America is basically a moderately conservative country and will NOT vote for a socialistt/ Marxist?

WILL PREZ OBAMA FREE THE WHITES

Why won’t Gore do more in his own life to be more green? His home in Tenn. uses approximately 20 times the natural gas & electricity of the avg. American home.
Bush’s home in Crawford TX uses geothermal and is greener than grass.
I voted for Gore, but now that I know the truth that it’s “Do as I say not as I do” I feel sick every time he says anything.

Al Gore,
Do this country a favor and go play in traffic. You are the single most hypocritical politician to ever live and the most hell bent on personal gain. Lincoln was the best president this country has ever seen. He was reelected during a civil war. He forced the greatest change this country has ever seen when it was not welcome at all. Obama promises change and shiny happy people holding hands but has absolutely no detailed and concrete plans to get there other than sipping tea with terrorists. Now Al, please go away. Your opinions have become impossible to respect.
Sincerely,
Americans who will be forced to pay carbon taxes

This Clown needs to join Carter and just go AWAY. It was on his watch that Islamic Terrorism flourished and had both him and Clinton been more aware and took action we would not have a big hole where the World Trade Center was. Mr. Gore go polish your disingenuously earned nobel prize and don’t come back.

Lincoln can be compared to Obama. Just like Lincoln, he wants to united the nation and has the eloquent razzle dazzle speech to do it, no matter what the costs to Americans. Lincoln brought 600,000 dead, burned Atlanta and most of the south to the ground. NYC riots, arresting judges, exiling and arresting congressmen for difference of opinion, illegally suspended Habeas Corpus, conscripting kids to fight, sending all the war efforts back to his railroad buddies, federalizing land for the RR’s. trampling on the Constitution. The south limped back into the U.S. just to make the carnage stop.
Obama wants to united the nation too, send all of our money to the gov’t and we will tell you how to unite. That’s change you can believe in!
McCain is like Lincoln as well but instead of send all of the money to gov’t he will bankrupt it by borrowing/printing money and sending us into endless wars, to unite our nation.
I wouldn’t vote for Lincoln, McCain or Obama, they are essentially the same person which is more government, less liberties.

Can we please all straighten something out while we are in the midst of bashing the Bush administration for Katrina? Never before Katrina was the FEDERAL government held responsible for preventing harm to either people or property caused by any force of nature (tornado, hurricane, mudslide, etc.) EVERYONE (and I do mean everyone) knew that this was coming at least a week before it hit. Hell, I live in a land locked state (TN) and knew that it looked like the majority of the Gulf Coast was in for a beating. If anyone is to blame for those who could not get out of New Orleans, it is the local and state government (both of which have been run by liberals for years). I’ll remind you that state governors have the ability and responsibility of calling out the national guard for help and local governments could easily have enlisted the use of school buses for getting people out of the way. I really don’t care for Obama or McCain, I would just like to see people place the blame where it is due and take a little more personal responsibility. The government is not responsible for providing individual citizens with protection from a natural disaster. Let’s get that through our heads before the next big one comes in the next couple of weeks. And for those of you living along the Gulf Coast (and especially in cities which are below sea level) PACK YOUR BAGS NOW OR SHUT UP ABOUT IT!

I thought Lincoln was born in on Sinking Spring Farm near Hodgenville, Ky and not in Il.

Gore has has tendency to ruin my dinner and increase my blood pressure, but there’s no other effect.

Gore reminded me of some mechanical robot cyborg twisting back and forth on the podium droning out his speech in a mechanical, fast choppy tone.
Terrible presentation.
And the content? Pure garbage, nothing there to recycle.
——-
And why didn’t Gore mention that the balloting at the Democratic convention was stopped and Obama was selected not elected?

Al Gore is a confused man!
Abraham Lincoln loved the USA: Obama sat under the wing of the Rev. Wright who chronically espoused GD America.
Abraham Lincoln never confused the word equality…..also, he was a firm beliver in the rights of “we the People”. He would never, ever, ever attempt to deny “freedom of speech” and/or “freedom of the press”. Obama and his gangster-type thugs are attempting to deny “We the People” the amenities as to the “First Amendment of the US Constitution”.

Why is this race so close? It’s obvious to the whole world that Obama is the type of transcendent leader that comes along once every few generations. Yet he is having trouble putting distance between himself and the very ordinary John McCain.
Yet America gave two terms to George W. Bush, a man who let’s face it, has the IQ of a high school dropout, can barely speak English, and has gone from one failure to another in his eight disastrous years. Has everybody forgotten that 9/11 happened on his watch!?
So what gives? How could voters give the benefit of the doubt, (twice!) to someone as limited as Bush, and yet hold Obama to such a higher standard?? Seems to me that Obama could walk on water and it still wouldn’t be enough to convince millions of people, while all Bush or McCain have to do to get elected is put a few gramatically correct sentences together!
Hmmmm – if Obama was a little bit whiter and a little bit dumber, he’d be a shoe-in!

Gore knows very little about Lincoln to be comparing the two. They are complete opposites.

I’m hopeful for change. Its all about change, I hope. So be hopeful, with audacity. After all, aren’t Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezco about change and hope. I believe that they are.
You don’t need experience, all you need to do is hope for change. Just look at all the hope Obama has brought to the world. You don’t need to be an abandoned child, abandoned by mom and dad, who only saw his father one time in a painful encounter to have hope for change.
You don’t need to be confused about your
childhood to know that your bad childhood is the fault of America and go on fighting your father’s marxist wars in Kenya. Change and hope–that’s the answer. I don’t personally fault Obama
for his bad childhood, but isn’t he just a bit risky while were trying to prevent another terrorist attack and dealing with Puti-Tut(I tad I taw a pudi-tut
) Vlad the Impaler, insane iranians itching to use nukes on us, and
a society so confused that many can’t define a no brainer like marriage, 1 man, 1 woman? Just repeat this mantra until election day-hope and change, hope and change, hope and change……….

Lincoln was a Republican.
p.s. Gore is still an idiot.

In his time, Lincoln was constantly ridiculed. He had a shrill voice. He was said to be a good speaker by his supporters an a bad one by some of his opponents. He became a great president long after he was gone. His presidency was marked by a war that divided the country, saw many deaths and was going very poorly for his side for a long time.

What an appropriate analogy. Lincolon, a tyrant that ordered the murder of hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen, illegally invaded the South, and denied thousands due process. Just what we need! Another socialist tyrant.

I stand corrected Lincoln was born in Kentucky. He moved to Illinois when he was 22.
I apologize for that please forgive me.

Obama’s speech gave 80,000 supporters and millions of Democrats, Republicans, Independents watching TV their moment. When the 80,000 energized supporters started to yell”Yes we can!”, all of us watching TV across America hear their rally cry. Watch out relentless Republican Attack machine! You heard it too! Obama and 80,000 supporters inspired us all. That was the Democrats I grew up with! This is the Democrats I know!
Al Gore, Bill Richardson and Susan Eisenhower also inspired us! When Susan ended her great speech with “Yes we can!” We cheered! Hope and Change has a chance backed by experience!
But first we all must rumble against the Republican Attack machine for the next ten weeks. When Biden joined Obama on stage we saw two warriors with heart and courage. First impression – Democrats are ready to court Republicans and Independents! The Race has started!
Susan Eisenhower -”The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!” Dwight D. Eisenhower Quote
Obamacan’s – “The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.”
William F. Buckley, Jr. quote
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.” Robert Kennedy Quote
Vote Obama/Biden ’08

The savior of the planet had 8 years to instill his “global warming” policies, or at least attempt to make them an issue – he did nothing.
This is the same guy who, despite running as the incumbant in 2000 and having inherited a white house that did not have any MAJOR issues (no real wars, economy that was slumping but not terrible) chose to discuss how our school system was broken and we needed somebody to fix it!
Note to Gore: When you are part of the incumbant administration, you emphasize the positives, not the negatives.
Al is not as smart as he attempts to be!

Actually Gore won the popular vote in 2000. Bush won the White House by one vote in the conservative majority Supreme Court. So it’s the Supreme Court fault we are in the crappy state we are. If McCain is elected we can expect him to put another conservative in the Supreme Court to subvert equal rights for women and immigrants. Cause heaven forbid they actually do their job and interpret the Constitution based on the main principle of equality, which isn’t what we are going to get when McCain gives the rich another tax cut at the expense of the Middle-Class and lower-income families (99% of the country). And plus if McCain becomes president I”m going to have to take up learning Chinese and investing in Iraqi companies because that’s where America’s future is going to be focused on in the next four years.

Leave it to the GOP and Limbaugh zombies to have nothing substantial to say other than to spew the talking points they’ve been spoon fed, yet again…
You want to complain about Obama is squashing free speech based on what went on with Kurtz little circus act? Got news for you, Obama supporters are who called that show, not Obama or his staff. What? That was squashing free speech? You mean Bush and his supporters haven’t been doing worse than that to everyone that didn’t agree with them for the last 8 years?
You people want to keep playing the Ayers card? Seriously? Let’s take a look at some of McCain’s connections and associations. Turn about is fair play after all. How about Chalabi? How about Phil Gramm and his wife?
What is this garbage being spewed now that Clinton and Gore were to blame for 9/11? That’s a seriously reaching claim and lacking merit totally. It was BUSH that was given the memo as to when the attack was suspected to happen and how it was supposed to happen but he ignored it and went on vacation.
Own your failures. Own your failures the same way you own your victories.
The snide and snarky commentary in the comments on this page and the open character assassination with false information and innuendo is exactly the kind of behavior that those of us who support Obama are tired of and want to see a change from. We all deserve better than what the last 8 years have been. But we all have to be part of the answer and not part of the problem. Instead of trying to tear each others throats out, we need to work together. Then, and only then will we really get this country back on track.

Listening to Obama wax ecstatic about “hope” and “change” without anything really substantive that we can grasp reminds me of a quote from the late great Burgess Meredith in one of the Grumpy Old Men movies.
To paraphrase: You can hope in one hand… and crap in the other… and see which hand gets filled first.

I wonder if Gore realizes Lincoln was a Republican?

Lincoln was a republican when the Republicans were the Left Wing, liberal party. It is not the same party.

I saw an alien spacecraft fly over just like in that Independence Day movie. Algore and Lord Barrack fought them off with their capes and tasers…and saved the world.
Pesky Aliens.

Why does the media cover this buffon?

AL should be Livin’ in a Van down by the River! Get over it big boy. You did lose the election, have a temper tantrum, and could NOT overthrow the will of the people as enumerated through the electoral college provided by our founders(Great idea I might add).

Gore also thinks there is such a thing as global warming….

Gore comparing Obama to Lincoln is a huge insult to Lincoln. This just proves Gore is only getting dumber with age.

Algore is comparing Obama to Lincoln. We may want to take another look because…According to The Real Lincoln, by Thomas DiLorenzo. Lincoln declared martial law, suspended habeas corpus, shut down newspapers and imprisoned their editors and owners. He censored telegraph communications, used soldiers to tamper with elections, confiscated firearms, ordered military conscription, and initiated income taxes. Lincoln even deported an Ohio congressman for speaking out against him. In May 1863, Clement Vallandigham denounced “King Lincoln” in a speech. But General Ambrose Burnside, exercising his power under martial law, had issued General Order No. 38, making it illegal to declare “sympathies for the enemy” in the Military District of Ohio. Vallandigham was arrested, tried before a military court (no habeas corpus), and sentenced to two years in prison. Lincoln was afraid the man would become a martyr, so the prisoner was escorted to the Tennessee border and exiled to the South. Some of what we hear about Obama before his coronation seems eerily reminiscent of Lincoln’s dark side.

After having listened to the speech given by Barack OBama,and having a sense of hope and belief in the democratic party, I again gained some belief that our country and the people who live and die here are on a path forward. When reading those comments written by those who support the party of George Bush and John McCain, I here the strains of fear. It sounds to me like they fear the change that can make all of America great again. They fear that more than 5% of America will acheive the dream that Mr. Obama spoke about. When I listened to Mr. Obama speak, I felt a rush of pride as he made the challenge to be free of foriegn oil in ten years. Just think had Mr. Bush had the same type of resolve and leadership back in 2000, where we might be? I want a president who speaks to the issues such as absent fathers and apathetic or perhaps overworked parents taking responsibility for the childrens behalf. I want a president who will bring change and initiate the conversation for new and better hopes for our country. As I have said before, those who belittle or denigrate the ideas put forth by the democratic hopeful, are those who want to mantain a belief of what we “CAN’T” do. We are all AMERICANS, and we “CAN” do an awful lot to bring about change.

Interesting that Al Gore compares Barack Obama to a man who in a previous war, also showed complete incompetence in managing war, and also suspended Habeus Corpus. Could it be that Al Gore is saying that Obama is like….gasp President Bush

Obama gave a speech, I feel asleep. Bill Clinton’s speech the nite before was far, far more compelling. Barack is boring, generic, general, and has not offered any details.
And I love how he will cut taxes to 95% of America, yet start up national healthcare and 150bn dollar investment in new energy, on the back of reduced taxes. Obama must think he’s God, multiplying the fish and loaves of bread.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking by Albert Gore, Jr. Much in the same fashion that every young left handed power hitter seems to be called the next Babe Ruth.

Barry’s speech finally described what his “change” is. PURE SOCIALISM. The U.S. did not become the greatest nation ever by being Socialistic. It was done by Democracy and CAPITALISM. Capitalism has created the greatest amount of freedom, prosperity, compassion, charity, military strength, medical technologhy, etc.. But you libs go ahead and “change” the greatest country ever. Just who will be paying those increased taxes to pay for all the social spending you promise?

Al has only two people to thank for him not being elected president: his buddies, Bill and Hillary. But I will bet that he is savoring the moment that he has had his revenge against the Clintons with Obama being nominated.

LOL….Obama like Lincoln! LOL…Al Gore needs help now! Obama like Lincoln…LOL!

Didn’t Lincoln invade a sovereign nation when he attacked the Confederate States, also an unpopular war at the time, although popular now. Sounds like Gore needs to brush up on his US history.

OBama compared to Lincoln????!!
GAG!!!!!

Come on Bozos, do you take dumb-dumb pills? Lincoln was probably more unpopular than W. before he was shot.. Voters didn’t have the hindsight of history when voting in 1860. The only reason why Lincoln won — not because he a great Prez, like say Washington — but because the Dems were spit by the North-South divide. Wouldn’t be nice if we knew before we voted if Obama would be either: A) another Lincoln — great leader; or B) George W. — frat boy who squandered an incredible opportunity (just like Bill Clinton, BTW)?

The man is an idiot. Please just go away.

Keep mouthing off Gore. The more you idiots speak, the more people will hear and remember why you are not in the White House.

The amount of ignorant information in these comments is nothing short of amazing. It is a true example of how the education system in this country has failed us. No, Al Gore didn’t invent the internet and he never claimed too. What he did do for the internet was get the government resources together to make it happen. But the majority of commenter’s here probably still think that Global Warming is a myth, Obama is Muslim and that Iraq was responsible for 9/11. You still think the country is better now than it was 8 years ago? WAKE UP; use the internet for what it was meant for. Do your own research, check the source of your information and use the fleshy gray matter between your ears to come up with some more intelligent to say.

Al Gore is as dumb as post. Please just go away…

killerbee: last I heard, Jimmy Carter didn’t lie about causus belli. Yes, it’s Latin. The Google window is there on the left of your browser.

I challenge anyone to look up Lincoln’s statements on slavery. His address at Gettysburg would only be true if he were saying it on behalf of the South. Look it up!

“we would have pursued bin Laden until we captured him. We would not be facing a self-inflicted economic crisis; we would be fighting for middle-income families.”

Gore’s hypocrisy places him one step below John Edwards, and that’s not easy.

The Nobel Prize has become a political prize, just like Gore’s Oscar for his “fictional” documentary.
Gore is such a hypocrite with his private jets, mega-mansion, and having huge financial stake in having everyone buy into global warming.
Obama is no Lincoln, who was known as Honest Abe. Obama in no “Honest Abe” and has done his best to hide his true intentions with platitudes like “hope” and “change”. What a lightweight?

HA! What an insult!
Comparing Obama to Abraham Lincoln is about like comparing Charles Manson to Mickey Mouse!

Does this mean that Obama is now a Republican? I mean if he’s Lincoln.

Gore says “we would have pursued bin Laden until we captured him.” Capture him? What a joke! The dems think it should be illegal to even listen in to the phone call if bin Laden decided to call one of his operatives in the United States.

CarbonAl is yet another character in the Looney Tunes library. Honest Abe would cringe if he had to recite the following names === Jimmy Carter, AlGore, Mickey Dukakis, Walt Mondale, Lurch Kerry, Knobjob Clinton, and the latest in black wannabees….Barry O. Hey Al? Got tix for the theater?

Thank you John McCain for doing what Barack Obama failed to do. BO has been so busy trying to build up his African-American heritage, he forgot about women. He chose a VP candidate, who has brain aneurysisms because he has “foreign affairs experience…alot of good that does if he doesn’t live through the 1st term.
BO should have chosen Hilliary Clinton as his running mate, but to further support the claim he lacks judgement, he choses Biden.
John McCain just confirmed his sound judgement with nominating a strong woman as his running mate, who despite having a lack of foreign affairs experience has experience GOVERNING and is a COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF A MILITARY FORCE (ALASKA NATIONAL GUARD). BO and Biden have neither, both have been legislators.
This is one true blue Democrat that was left behind by the party and will cross over to McCain and Palin and we will see a Palin vs. Clinton ballot in 2012.
BO STINKS!!!!! VOTE McCain-PALIN!!!!!

Who cares what Gore has to say? McCain has chosen Sarah Palin as his VP candidate. We’ll have the first woman as VP in November. Maybe Obama and Gore should move to Germany. The Germans seem to like what these two are selling.

“Sarah Palin: city council, 2 years as gov. of one of the country’s least populous states. A heart attack away from the presidency.” Phil Dirt.
Phil: That’s more executive experience than the guy the Dummycrats want sitting first chair. THE most inexperienced person in this whole deal is B. Hussein. He has done NOTHING but RUN for office. He never does anything once he gets the office.

What if McCain decides to not run in 4 years…..We’ll have the 1st woman president!
Awesomeness!
The amazing things is the Republicans were worried if Obama chose Hillery. But Obama chose Biden! The Republicans couldn’t have gotten a better gift! This is one more example of Obama’s lack of good judgement!

Al Gore…Ha…no one respects this loser.

Did anyone else hear Obama say the following? “I think about my mom, who…was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships.” He went on to say, [Our government] “should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who’s willing to work.”
Wait a minute! Aren’t these the same people that are ADAMANTLY against school vouchers which would allow the poor to send their children to the best schools in order to help break the cycle of poverty the plagues this country?!?

Just a little bit about Lincoln for those of you who do not know your history. Lincoln declared martial law, suspended habeas corpus, shut down newspapers and imprisoned their editors and owners. He censored telegraph communications, used soldiers to tamper with elections, confiscated firearms, ordered military conscription, and initiated income taxes.

…THE LAME BRAIN STRIKES AGAIN. JUST WHEN YOU THINK GORE IS GONE, YOU FIND OUT HE WAS JUST IN REMISSION.
…IF HE HAD WON, HE WOULD HAVE HAD US APOLOGIZING TO THE 9/11 TERRORISTS, AND HE WANTED TO STOP EVERYBODY FROM DRIVING IN 25 YEARS (EXCEPT FOR HIM, OF COURSE, BECAUSE HIS RULES DON’T APPLY TO HIM).
…HE IS WORSE THAN BILL CLINTON, AND MORE DANGEROUS.

Alaska has the population of a medium-sized U.S. city. essentially, Palin’s been mayor twice. First of that dinky little unpronounceable city (I can hear everyone in the room running for the atlas) and then, gov. of alaska (pop. 600,000).
at least Obama was a state legislator (in a real state) for 7 years before becoming senator (of a real state). AND, he had the good sense to pick experienced backup.

Phil Dirt,
is that the best you got? To you, Alaska is not a real state? And to you, she was mayor of cities too small for your taste?
If that’s the best you Obama faithful can come up with, then the next few months are going to be great! ….for McCain/Palin!

I have never cared what Gore says. He is just showing his intellegence. Along with Carter, neither of them would make a “good” person… Put both in a sack and you have nothing at all..

Dirt Phil:Governor or no, the fact remains:Alaska: 600,000
Illinois: 12,000,000
Another Fact:
NOBama never governed any government, local, state or national. NOBama, No Experience.

Research says Lincoln was involved in politics from 1834 to 1854 before running for President. He also was a captain in the state militia participating in the Black Hawk War of 1832. He also was a circuit riding judge. Ergo, he had much more experience than Obama when he ran for President not to mention simply surviving in early 19th Century America. Gore has it about as right regarding Lincoln and Obama as he has it right about global warming.

Yikes, look at the clowns the Dems are trotting out. Peanuts Carter, Internet Gore, Billary, etc., etc., etc. Why not Kwame? He is a perfect example of the Democrat Party.

Why won’t this loser go away? His arm-chair quarterbacking makes for a good laugh. I love it when the dems bring out these reminders of why we shouldn’t vote with our hearts and use our brains instead.

Al Gore is one of the worst hypocrites along with Jimmy Carter that this country has ever seen! To even think about equating Obama with Abraham Lincoln reveals what a true idiot this man is!!!I thank God every day that this man was NOT elected President of the United States!

Remember when Algore said he remembered his mother humming the “Look for the Union Label” song while she tucked him in at night? Then people realized he was 28 years old when the song was written. YUK! Pathetic fairy tale dreamers, these Dem’s.

Regis
You said it. Kerry hasn’t mastered the art of pure hypocrisy yet. In order to reach that level one must first abandon one’s need to anchor one’s beliefs in reality. Gore is the master of masters.
:-)

Wow…you people are bitterly brutal….Does it really matter who wins? Really….does it really matter? No, it doesn’t. Every candidate has been preaching change since I started voting in 88. I haven’t seen any change in government. Same weak policies with pork attached to each bill passed. Last nights regalia was disgusting. Why conventions? Atleast, why convention blowouts? Just nominate the man, let him speak, and move on. Way to much pomp…..same for RNC…I expect a rediculous amount confetti and retards in the stands bowing down…… It was meant to be a simple process….Politics have become Hollywood, only the actors change. I’m not voting…and don’t tell me I can’t complain if I don’t vote. I pay taxes…I can complain as much as I damn well want. If I don’t vote, I can be blamed for whatever publicity hungry moron gets elected. It use to be, “Join the army if you fail”, now I think it’s “become a politician if you have no skills”, anyone can do it. So…therefore, it does not matter.

Wow, so many angry and bitter people on this board. And for all of you who keep saying Lincoln was a Republican–yes, he was, but you may want to do a little research on what the parties stood for back then.

The amount of intelligence and honesty G.Bush has demonstrated during his administration can fit comfortable on top of a mustard seed. The war was a lie, the poor economy is a result of trickle down economics, and the oil prices are a result of Bush’s nonexistence energy policy and getting in bed with the Arabs.
It’s just amazing to me to see how you allow Rove and his cronies to keep you in line by waving the abortion and gay rights flag….. They laugh all the way to the BANK.

Al should go back to his energy sucking mansion and ponzi scheme money out of liberals who believe in Global Warming. Can’t you all see it’s just about the money. His mansion used 10x the energy of your average american household last year.

All I know is Bush pulled us out of the Clinton-Gore Recession, which coupled with the 9-11 attacks (also attributed to Clinton’s appeasement to terrorists could have been devasting.
But, Bush and Congress pulled us out. My 401k was up, my IRA was up, my property value was up, gas was reasonable, my wages increased, and everyone was happy because the economy was humming along.
Then a funny thing happened. Democrats were elected in 2006 and took oath in January of 2007 and the economy tanked. Gas prices doubled, foreclosures increased, stock market (401k,IRAs) plummeted, property values dropped like a rock.
Tell me WHO is to blame for the economy? Democrats in Congress…the same people who took vacation and turned the lights out on Republicans trying to lower gas prices for all.

al gore and the man he shared the nobel prize with neither have any scientific background. al gore flunked out of divinity school and dropped out of law school.
did al gore count all ten corporate jets at the denver airport when he flew in on his?
why didn’t al gore do a single thing on the environment in EIGHT years as vice-president. he did NOTHING!

Lincoln did not fight off an invasion from another county. I think the United states started the war with the Confederate States of America. Check your history AL!

Republican whiners, do you not remember, everyone in this election has at least some experience, and Barry well he made a speech! Awesome dude that Barry.

McCain Palin!!!
That’s the ticket! What a blast to watch this happen! We were all enjoying the warm fuzzies of NOBAMAMANIA when suddenly from the eastern sky… an F-15 swoops down and drops a nuke on the whole party! There is dancin’ in the HOUSE!!! Whoooooooooo!!

Barry Soetoro is no Lincoln.

John, at least what Rush says makes sense. These moderate libs have been imitating the same crap rhetoric that Gore has been spewing for two decades. Maybe we aren’t great composers, but at least we have great taste in music!

Does it matter who wins? Sure. Imagine getting up each day and seeing Hillary on tv (yikes), or her WC Fields look-a-like husband, or that slick haired televangelist Al Gore, or that elfish GWB-or even Steve Erkle (I think his wife should be the candidate instead). Palin is easiar to look at–ya we would have to see MCCain, but everything has to be paid for.

I used to listen to Rush, too! Then I got tired of being manipulated. He tells you what you want to hear, plays on your fears, desires, and prejudices and bends the truth in ways Al could only aspire, too.
Keep listening, keep checking his facts, and keep in mind who writes his checks. Keep in mind that he is a propagandists as are all of these guys to some degree.

ABC, are you trying to report something here? Or are you simply being Owl Gore’s parrot?

Did Gore have a nervous breakdown after the election? Think about it. He conceeded, then he didn’t. Then he lost and went away. We didn’t hear from him for quite a while and when he returned he had that bushy beard, weird hair (not that it is normal now), a lot of extra weight and talking non-sense. Seriously, I think he did. That is why he won’t run. He would have to disclose that.

Wow when I heard this I was suprised how little Gore understands history. If Gore would have been president in the 1840′s we would have to show passports to enter the Mexican states of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and yes California. For those of you who don’t these were the states that entred the union after the victory in the Mexican war.
Even though Lincoln was the greatest president in history he took the wrong stance against president Polk during the Mexican war. If you read his biography Lincoln took this stance to gain stature with his fellow whigs in the house of representatives. .

Gore’s an idiot, but we already knew that!

Gore = Idiot

Lincoln started and prosecuted a war of Americans versus Americans, that ravaged and laid waste to the southern part of our country and left a million dead and more twice that badly wounded or disabled for life.
George Bush started and prosecuted a war of Americans (and others) against criminal terrorists that cost 4,000 dead and many more wounded or disabled for life.
Lincoln is idolized as one of the greatest Presidents, while Bush is reviled by democrats as the worst one in American history? Something is wrong with this picture.
It is nothing short of a willful ignorance of facts, so that one can feel good about himself or herself.

What’s funny here, is that most of the comments I read on here, as well as most other political articles, and more idiotic and inane than I hear out of the mouths of some of the eighth graders I taught last year. Check your facts people, and don’t come on here to make racist and pigheaded comments.

I guess Al had to come up with a good republican like Lincoln to comapre Obama with after all he couldn’t compare him with Al’s father(Al Senior) who voted against many of the rights we all have today.

Pssst, Al, Lincold was a Republican and the Democrat party was against the Civil War, urging Lincoln to stop the fighting.
Hmmm, sounds familiar somehow.

Gore is correct in one sense. Lincoln was one of the most oppressive presidents in our history. He exiled a member of congress for speaking in opposition to his policies. As Obama has demonstrated in recent days, he also intends to use the power of government to squash dissent.

Why does Gore always have the appearance of one under medication? Maybe that would explain such an outrageous comparison. This comic figure truely believes his delusions. Whats more insulting is the possibilty that he thinks most of us take him as gospell. Sure,every group has it rug eating, Kool-Aid drinkers; look at that sorry mob that was thrown into tears during the convention. They are not in command of themselves,and are easily manipulated. Whats even funnier is that they consider being ruled by emotions as a positive attribute—something to be proud of.

Not like Lincoln at all. More like Jim Jones hoping to lead us to the mass suicide of socialism.

One thing about righties when they don’t have facts they can always rely on namecalling

The source of Al Gore’s money is, of course, oil. But oil wealth is nothing new to Albert Gore Jr. His senator father’s fortune and son Gore’s own portfolio today have gotten the lion’s share of their money from Occidental Petroleum and its eccentric head Armand Hammer, whose father founded the Communist Party USA and before his death acknowledged carrying millions of dollars in cash from Moscow to fund the CPUSA.
The Gore family has controlled up to $10 million worth of Occidental stock, and Al Gore Jr. has pocketed up to $200,000 per year by leasing mineral rights on Gore property to an Occidental zinc mining operation cited for polluting the adjacent Tennessee River.
Despite an apparent conflict of interest, in 2000, the Clinton-Gore administration in 1997 allowed Occidental Petroleum to buy 47,000 acres of the U.S. Navy’s Elk Hills strategic oil reserve near Bakersfield, CA.

Well Al, you didn’t win, get over it. My formula goes something like this: Obama = excellent bobblehead doll.

Obama has real ideas: Invest in green technologies to reinvigorate our industrial base, create jobs, spur the economy, and get us off of oil. Move more troops into Afghanistan, the real front in the War on Terror. Improve our standing in the world by ACTUALLY LISTENING to what other people have to say. America can not change the world single handedly or through brute force. John McCain is old and ornery and does not have the temperament to be Commander in Chief. He was a fine Naval Officer and has been a fine Senator. But he’s NOT Presidential. Obama has a unique blend of vision, charisma, charm and grace which are possessed by only a few in each generation. No amount of experience can develop these characteristics. You either have it or you don’t. As far as comparisons to Lincoln go, Abe suffered from depression early in life and leaned on faith to help him through. He led the nation through some of its darkest days. His exceptional courage and deep moral convictions allowed him to preserve the Union when all thought it would break. America needs that type of leader today, one who is guided by principles and is willing to do what is necessary to take our country in a totally new direction. McCain is wrong on so many things. He is a free-trader to a fault. He will continue to export jobs overseas to our enemies and competitors who manipulate their currencies and erode the value of the dollar by flooding world markets with cheap goods. McCain will grant Amnesty to millions of illegal aliens based on the false notion that a rising tide lifts all boats. Sometimes a rising tide can sink all boats as well. A last but not least, listen to what McCain says: he never says why you should vote for him, he only says don’t vote for that guy. If that is the best he can do he should stay in the Senate,

Gore said the country was in the mist of peace and prosperity. If you recall G.W.Bush inherited a recession (actuall negative economic growth) from Clinton/Gore, as for peace apparently the terrorist didn’t think so. If liberals want to lie to themselves, fine. It would be better if they pulled their heads out of the sand, reality isn’t all that bad.

If history serves me correctly – the Civil war was actually a civil conflict. Since the confederacy did not want to take over Washington they simple wanted to succeed. Lincoln did not want to lose the attributes of the south textile industry He elected to wage war on the south.
Our 17th Irish American President wants to wage war on all our freedom.
O*Bama and Lincoln I guess you can say are the same in that aspect.

Senator McCain has spend the majority of the summer attacking Senator Obama for lack of experience. Today, Senator McCain chose a governor with less than 2 years in office and no foreign policy experience to be his running mate. Does Senator McCain believe that the country should be first or take a backseat for his political aspirations?

John McCain’s Response:
“I knew Abe Lincoln, and you sir are no Abe Lincoln.”

I can see it now…. Al Gore speaking… “Barack Obama is just like Abraham Lincoln, and by the way, i should know, after all… I invented the internet!”

It is a joke to compare Obama to Lincoln, but what do you expect from the guy who claims to have invented the Internet? It would be more accurate to compare BO to Madonna, a pop icon with a knack for self reinvention.

You’ll all have to excuse Al Gore, He is just exhausted from trying to save the world from greenhouse-gases, as he jet-sets around the world in his greenhouse-gas emmitting jet.

Al Gore lost that race for President. He is the only one responsible for his failings but the DNC want to prop him up like he has anything to offer. This man has NEVER has an original idea, he gloms on to someones else’s idesa and wants to take credit for them. I will say he a loser in the 1st degree.

What an insult to compare Obama’s speech to Lincolns.

yall need to shut up yall dont know nothing about obama
