74. I completely disagree
Al Gore did not cut and run. Nor is what he is doing now "too little, too late." I think Al Gore's book and movie, An Inconvenient Truth, are making tremendous headway into the public consciousness about the very real danger to human existence caused by global warming. On TDS last night, he said he's been doing his slideshow since before he was vice president. Now that's commitment to a belief. Imagine doing this year after year, while the corporate media of your country poo-poo's what you are saying, and you look around and see corporations ravaging precious natural resources, people driving gas guzzlers like there's nothing to worry about.

It's easy for us to sit out here and find fault with those that actually were on the campaign trail and took all the hits. I know it was a grueling time for Al Gore and his family. None of us were happy with the outcome of that presidential election, but to say Gore cut and run is just wrong.
