10. There was very little to be angry about in 2000.
What was there to complain about other than a presidential affair that no one much cared, about other than neocons? You have to be angry to make a speech like that.

7. I am repeating what someone else said but it is worth repeating...
if you read the speech you will think it is great.

if you watch Gore deliver the speech, you will remember where you stood watching it for the rest of your life - Gore is amazing.

9. Has Al absolutely ruled out a third term as VP???
He did, indeed, "rock" today. Al has found himself, using his own instinct instead of "political pro's" to craft his message.

13. "you will know them by their fruits"
Edited on Wed May-26-04 11:24 PM by countmyvote4real
I just watched the 10 pm EDT replay. I feel like I've been to a revival. This is a must see, people. But it must be seen in context.

I'd seen threads here and there all day on DU, but I guess you've got to believe it to see it. (I'm a believer and I meant that juxtaposition.)

It was a passionate and factual based indictment of the incompetence of Bushco and their open disregard for the rules of law. And the irony is that “law” as viewed by a 5/4 decision by the SCOTUS selected * over Gore, while the popular vote knew better. You will never get that from the mainstream news coverage. Oh man, that is the rub. If we had Gore as our President now, we would never even have the shame and expense of Iraq on our hands. And that’s not the least of it.

If these fuckwads (my word, not Gore’s) had any respect for the Constitution and the application of its laws, they should resign their offices and not scapegoat the “few bad apples” that they directed to abuse and torture the Iraqi detainees.

On another personal note, I must lament the loss of language, reading and pronunciation that the SCOTUS decision gave us in their anointment of * as the POTUS. And then there’s that character flaw thing that motivates the majority of America to vote in the first place. That may be on our side, but it’s too soon to tell for sure. After all, it’s SO American to deny that you were ever wrong (even thought most of us were right in 2000.)
