The biggest problem the Dems have is that they have absolutely no solutions for any issue in the US... Example: Social Security....for years Dems have screamed 'fix social security"......constantly and loud..... Bush proposes changes to SS....Dems go ballistic....Dems offer no counter proposals whatsoever......have you heard Obama/Clinton even mention SS again..... Memo to SA: there is no Democratic Party.....just a gaggle of small interest groups and activist..... Al Gore is dumb but he is not stupid....he would never run for office again.....that would expose his global warming to intense media scrutinty.....have to answer tough questions... No way would he do that.....he would be branded a silly nutjob and be the butt of jokes forever.... And, to pour salt on the Dems wounds, if McCain picks right guy for VP.....you will see 12 years of Rep Presidents.... SteveD

And, to pour salt on the Dems wounds, if McCain picks right guy for VP.....you will see 12 years of Rep Presidents.... ***** April 27, 2008 SouthAmerica: Very poor choice of words to describe Al Gore. Most people who takes the time to check Al Goreâs biography and realizes all his accomplishments they would think that there is someone who is dumb, but it is not Al Gore. Al Gore has received a Nobel Prize because of his efforts to bring attention to issue of Global Warming. And the entire world knows by now that in terms of nutjobs that is a term that applies very well for Republicans, since only a nutjob would reelect George W. Bush for a second term. Basically you had to be brain dead to give George W. Bush a second-term and there are 59 million Americans who did just that. As you can see Americans donât vote with their brain, and anything can happen in November 2008. The Democratic Party most likely will nominate a candidate that is going in defeat in Novemeber 2008 â Hillary or Obama. The Republican Party might win with John McCain. John McCain is a war hero from the Vietnam War, but I would never vote for a candidate for president â a person with access to the nuclear bottom who was a prisoner of war for over 5 years and someone who survived a lot of torture. Most soldiers come back from war with mental problems, they talk about that more than ever on the news, and these are soldiers who were not submitted to torture for 5 year by the enemy. I just imagine the real state of mind of John McCain when he wakes in the middle of the night in complete sweat when he has a nightmare about the torturing days. And John McCain has the reputation of having a short fuse â and that is the guy that Americans want to trust with the nuclear bottom. But I know that Americans donât think about much anyway, since people with common sense would not reelect George W. Bush and his sidekick for a second-term after the disastrous first-term. About 3 days ago George Shultz were being interviewed by Charlie Rose on The Charlie Rose Show and he was giving his opinions about a bunch of issues related to economics and foreign policy that he wrote on his latest book. Then at the end of the show Charlie Rose asked George Shultz to define and give a reason why people should vote for John McCain in November 2008 â the old man had to think for while before he gave his answer â then he said John McCain is a patriot. Maybe if you are a warmonger that makes you a patriot. That answer implies that the Democratic Party candidates are not patriots. If that is the best qualification that he could come up to define John McCain then the US is going to have a real problem when he is elected president. In my opinion, being a patriot as the main reason for people to vote for you for president it is not a good reason â I am sure that the United States has millions of hillbillies half literate scattered around the country that are also patriots. After the reelection of George W. Bush and his sidekick we know for sure that we canât count on Americans to use common sense when they choose someone for president. If Americans were using a minimum of common sense Al Gore would have been the Democratic Party nominee by now, and he would be on his way for a spectacular victory in November 2008. The question would not be if Al Gore could beat John McCain â the question for the Republican Party would have been how to prevent John McCain from having a humiliating defeat in November 2008. One problem with a democratic system is that people with very low I.Q.'s also have the right to vote. .

Ratboy88 missed a few: Agore has admitted that he has extensive investment in "green" companies that would greatly benefit financially from the implimentation of CO2 restrictions and a carbon credit program. Algore uses more electricity to heat his swimming pool than the average American does for their house. Algore flew to Norway on a commercial flight to accept his Nobel prize to show he is green. In fact Algore flies almost exclusively on private jets. Algore is now attempting to distance himself from ethanol and biofuels because of the food shortage they have caused. In fact it was Algore that cast the tie-breaking vote in the senate to keep government ethanol subsudies when he was VP.
