than he could have been in 2000.

He has not changed, we have.

The electorate has become far more aware of the political, natural, and security crisis we face.

Horribly, we know this because that triad has been under a criminally successful attack by Gore's 2000 opponent for six years.


I would ask Al Gore to allow us, with our new awareness, to correct our grave mistake.

I strongly support Al Gore entering the race, and encourage those who might agree to help build a political platform for him, *without* demanding that Al Gore step immediately onto that platform. Rather placing a welcome mat on it.


Thank you MessiahRp for the post. I also am listening and happy with the announced candidates.

I didn't OP but I'll offer the best words i've read on the matter:


(May 16 2006, just as the Exxon sponsored smear groups start their swift-boat campaign in front of Inconvenient Truth)
We sunk that campaign and Exxposed the likes of CEI.


Gore's own words set up another thing that has changed.
FoxNew is on the decline, and drooling electorate they left behind can't even get their talking points straight anymore. The New Media rules now, and we are in the drivers seat.


We softened things up in the Senate by replacing Inhuff with Boxer (I can't get enough of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWpkBcWsAME... ). That's gotta make things a little more pleasant for President Gore.



What's different in 2008 is us, the progressive left.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mike Papantonio, two of the nation's most dynamic legal warriors, bring their battle for justice to the airwaves each weekend on Air America Radio. Ring of Fire, June 10, 2006 (17m30s) http://www.airamericaradio.com/download .


PAP: "Bobby, what's happened since your Rolling Stone Article is you now have people that have been working with these companies they, I mean way way up in the management structure of the companies, that are coming forth, they're calling us, they're saying, I was afraid to say anything. I was afraid to do anything. Now they feel they can come forward. And I gotta promise you, if you do come forward.."

RFK: "You call Mike or me, and we're gonna sue these companies, and we are gonna stop them from stealing our elections..."

PAP: "I, I can Prom.."

RFK: "If you work for either one of these companies, you give us a call and we'll protect your confidentiality. And we are gonna sue these companies. And we're gonna put them out of business. And we're gonna stop them from stealing our democracy."

PAP: "It's the only way that we're gonna accomplish anything. So, Look. This thing has just started. For all those Talking Heads who say why did we wait so long, they-ain't seen nothing, yet."


That's 866-389-FIRE

This is what scares them the most. The Repugs like Hagel, and those in Diebold and ES&S are busted.

Bush could run out and sign Kyoto today, but Bobby and and the Pap attack will keep coming.

They lied to start a war, what's a little voter fraud, right? No. It was the voter fraud that led to the war, not the other way around.

..Energy and the wars over energy. A return to world respect. Economic advantage, as energy becomes the most expensive component.

What do they fear? Simple. The Oil and Military industry stand to lose everything if they lose their power grip.

Ike warned us. And they see Gore as someone who can wrestle control back.

May 2006 has been very good to Al Gore.

The Republican, corporate sponsored smear campaign against him has failed comically. Conservative media trotted out lawyers claiming to be scientists. Campaign style advertisements were played on TV. Right wing blogs and radio hacks said 'alarmist', 'chicken little', and 'unhinged' over and over, to no effect beyond making themselves look hysterical. The rest of the media was more inclined to make fun of the broken noise machine itself, rather than help promote the anti-Gore propaganda.



On every front, the smear attempt was a failure. Not only is there more interest in the Al Gore's movie, there is significantly more awareness about outfits like CEI and NCPA. Seemingly cornered, does Republican leadership finally begin to discuss real solutions to oil consumption?

Of course not, there is always the nuclear option.

Yesterday, Solution to Greenhouse Gases Is New Nuclear Plants, Bush Says. "Let's quit the debate about whether greenhouse gases are caused by mankind or by natural causes." Without directly acknowledging the science of global warming, he yields the argument. Don't be fooled. Absolutely nothing will change with regard to the administrating policy of more oil consumption at higher prices. Only the propaganda used to distract from that policy will change. The noise machine is being reprogrammed to announce the benefits of new nuclear reactors.

Bush has promoted nuclear energy before, but it was abandoned. Even as some environmentalists opened to fission as a lesser evil to burning, key questions could not be answered. Today, none of the Key Questions from the 2001 effort have been answered. The reasons is because no research or effort has been made to answer them. The Administration is re-activating the campaign as political stunt. Otherwise, the effort is all Nonsense.

Jessica Holzer closed her article today in Forbes with "And building more nuclear power plants won't do much to improve our energy independence either, since they compete with coal- and gas-fired plants. The U.S. imports just a small portion of the natural gas it uses and is blessed with a more than 150-year supply of coal. All this makes one wonder why the Bush administration is plugging so hard for nuclear." Good question.

This is an Atomic Red Herring.

Bush is flogging power nukes only for the political benefits. And there are potentially plenty if we allow them to get away with this stunt. Bush can completely dodge the real issue, oil consumption. He can point to congress and blame regulation. There are plenty of highly regulated corporate interests eager build lead balloons to whatever specifications congress might belch out in support of this campaign. As an added benefit, this atomic campaign may get environmentalists debating and bickering among themselves.

Don't fall for it. Oil consumption is the issue, and it needs to be dealt with first, and now.

..as in Turkey. Burnett's expertise is consuming poultry, not science.



Clearly someone at NCPA gave him the wrong assignment.

... but i needed a spot for the Setter.
