Just sayin' ......

(Disclaimer: I have no candidate, but I currently favor Gore and would be a Gore supporter were he in the race.)

1. Its amazing how you can start telling the truth when you free yourself from the political system.

5. Gore was telling the truth all along. Few people were listening.
And people like Nader had their own agendas that made them discount everything he was saying.

3. Howard Dean was also a DLCer before he ran
The far left had come to really hate Dean prior to his entry into national politics.

4. I think Gore has been changed by the 2000 "election" and seven years of neo-fascism
Funny how that kind of thing can force you to take a fresh look at the way you look at the world...

6. I think 7 years of neo-fascism have made some people see him with new respect.
He has been a strong environmentalist all along, but the media thought he was too dorky and people like Nader had their own reasons for disparaging him.

Funny how 7 years of neo-fascism finally convinced some people that there actually is a major difference between Gore and Bush.
