I Wish Gore Would Shit Or Get Off The Pot. I'm Sick Of Waiting.

[Dinger]

I wish like hell he would make a definitive announcement. Please don't tell me he's already done that - he hasn't.
Wes Clark teased me like a sonofabitch, and it still smarts.

1. Al Gore could take a giant shit, scoop it out of the bowl, and write

NOT RUNNING FOR PREZ on the bathroom wall with it, then walk out with his pants down around his ankles and someone on DU would say


"Well, he didn't spell out President", so he might be running for that.


where's the suicide smilie?

[driver8]

6. flop...

Actually, that was pretty funny!

[Warpy]

22. Thanks for my first laugh of the day

and you're absolutely right about that. Gore supporters are so invested in having a messiah/superhero/big daddy swoop out of the sky and save them at the last possible minute that they've completely missed everything he's said about not running.

Now they say it's because Gore hasn't used some exact phrase or other.

We don't have a heavy sigh smilie, either.

[Arugula Latte]

23. ...

:spray:

[incapsulated]

43. DU doesn't have one but...

Desperately needs it.

[AlCzervik]

2. He's not running.

[joeperez22]

10. bush needs to step down

he's a son of a bitch

[bigwillq]

15. Hello.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[CountAllVotes]

17. that sums it up nicely!

:hi: and welcome to the DU!! :D

:kick:

[Crunchy Frog]

3. I don't expect he will make a definitive announcement.

I'm betting there will still be people here expecting him to run right up to election day.

I think if you're waiting for something more definitive than we've already gotten, you're going to be waiting a long time.

[ladjf]

29. What you have said may well turn out to be true. But, if so, why

would Gore do that? Why would he weaken our other candidates by allowing many to hold out on the hope that he would run? I just don't get it.

[Crunchy Frog]

37. If I were a Gore mind reader, I'd probably have better things to do

than hanging out here. Maybe he's flattered by the attention, or maybe he doesn't realize that people are taking his words differently than he intends them. :shrug:

[Parche]

4. Hey Teacher Dinger

Where have you been :shrug: :shrug: :hi:

Oh, PS I agree with you, my predictions were Gore/Edwards, but he needs to get in now
before the window closes :bounce: :hi:

[Captain Hilts]

5. He's off the pot. Has been. Said so. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. I never knew he smoked pot ---

cool :D

[joeperez22]

11. oh yes

very cool

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. oh my goodness YOU are brand spanking new!!

Welcome to DU...

[ificandream]

7. I think it's pretty clear ...

... he isn't gonna run. Pains me to admit it, but ...

[joeperez22]

9. bush sucks

Bush is a bastard

[DS1]

14. uh huh

I'm sure you'll be around a long long time

[AlCzervik]

18. hmmm.

i hate the lack of effort.

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Aren't you precious? Welcome to DU!!!!

:bounce:

[Auntie Bush]

26. Agreed, Welcome to DU. You won't find anyone on DU to disagree.

However, that isn't what this topic is about. That could easily be a record breaking topic on it's own.

[txaslftist]

31. That's no more fair than "Gore is on the pot". Bush stopped sucking

when they sent him to the school to cure his gayness.

Ask Kitty Kelly.

[rucky]

13. He's wiped, flushed, said hi to Larry, and left the restroom.

Just because he still has some toilet paper stuck to his shoe doesn't mean he's coming back to the stall.

[Apollo11]

24. This is the best response until now

It's pretty clear that Al Gore is not taking part in the primaries.

He is continuing his work to draw the world's attention to the climate crisis.

He has commitments to deliver speeches in December, January and beyond.

In April 08 he will bring out his next book The Path To Survival

This will be the much anticipated sequel to An Inconvenient Truth

I still believe that Al Gore is the best person for the job (President).

But it's now too late for him to participate in the primaries for 2008.

I guess our only hope is a deadlocked Democratic National Convention in Denver.

That would be cool. But the odds of it happening are like, real low.

My heart supports the idea of Drafting Gore, but my head knows it cannot work.

Not while there are 8 candidates up and running, asking folks for their votes.

[Nederland]

16. He did make a definitive announcement

You just refused to believe him.

[NMMNG]

19. How many times does he have to say he has no intentions of running?

Or does he have to send a personal message to you?

[Apollo11]

46. Cool username!

What's your favorite season? Mine is season 3, which is the first season I watched.

Faith is my favorite character. Totally amazing performance by Eliza Dushku.

I read that Joss Whedon will be making a whole new show starring Eliza! B-)

[riqster]

20. Waiting for Gor'ot?

Seriously, waiting is not a productive use of your time. Get on out and work for the causes Al has championed instead. That's the kind of support that helps everybody.

[PresidentObama]

25. It's pretty crystal clear. If he was going to get in, he would have already.

I wish he would have.

No Gore. No Kerry. No Clark.

Sigh.

:(

[murbley40]

27. He already s..t and got off the pot and moved on.

You should too!!

[redqueen]

28. Don't wait, then.

It'd be nice if he did, but if he won't - he won't.

Better to spend your time helping someone else who IS running than lamenting the fact that he's not.

[txaslftist]

30. He got off the pot a long time ago.

Rumors that he's still toking are wildly exaggerated.

[mtnsnake]

32. No he didn't. He always says he's not "planning" on running. He kept everyone hanging.

It doesn't matter anyway, except maybe to the people who think he'd actually have a chance at winning the Democratic Primary. I don't think he could beat out Obama or Clinton at this point, maybe not even Biden.

[txaslftist]

34. Oh. That pot. I thought you meant "herb" pot.

[mtnsnake]

36. oops

I should've finished reading your post. :evilgrin:

[Labors of Hercules]

35. "I don't think he could beat out Obama or Clinton at this point, maybe not even Biden."

You really think Gore wouldn't win? That's very interesting. Why?

[mtnsnake]

40. Because...

He'd be getting into it way too late. I'm just not hearing the same outcry in mainstream Democratic America for Al to jump in now as we were hearing a year ago.

He's been out of politics for almost 8 years. Anyone who thinks that that's insignificant is fooling themselves.

Even though he won the popular vote and got screwed by the Supreme Court in 2000, I don't think that there would be enough people in mainstream America that would perceive him as being a strong enough campaigner to beat someone like Gullini. I think by now that too many voters are locked into a certain candidate and wouldn't jump ship to Gore.

Only on DU could Al Gore jump in and easily win the primary or general election. Anywhere else and I don't think he'd stand the same chance in either election. I love Gore, but I'm being realistic about it.

[CyberPieHole]

33. The visual aid of your "subject line" is tad graphic...

couldn't you have found some better way to make your point? :hurts:

[BigDDem]

38. Newsflash:

He's NOT running!

[tammywammy]

39. He's not running

[robcon]

41. He's been off the pot for a long time.

His answer is definitive... except to the desperate few who want to find some reason for hope that he'll change his mind.

[Uncle Joe]

42. Or the desperate others that are afraid he might change his mind and enter the race.

I have no plans is not definitive, it's present tense, only two things can make it definitive an announcement to that effect from Al Gore, which hasn't come to date or time literally running out, for some that's the primary deadlines, for me it's the convention.

[robcon]

44. Under convention rules, where primary winners are locked into the first ballot,

I don't understand how Gore could win.

Otherwise, if he signs up for the primary, he'll wind up in third place in most states, according to the polls.

Either way, there's no logical way for Gore to win, and I think he knows that - even if he were tempted to enter the contest.

That's what I mean by "definitive."

[calteacherguy]

45. I will tell you the truth: He's never been on the pot. Move on. nt

[Swamp Rat]

47. NeoGore is "The One!"

:D
