12. That's not 'fun' to me... and it's

probably torture to those who are hanging on that he will run.

Why abuse them like this? :shrug:

25. It would've been great if he had decided to run but

he didn't and I have to accept that, as much as it did bother me and now I'm pissed about it.

I think it would be better to just lay it aside. It's over and I accept it.

29. Sorry but I don't agree.

He's a good guy and all, don't get me wrong but even he says his time has passed.

It's time to look forward, not behind. We need a pro-people candidate now.

An anti-corporate person. ;)

34. Props to the Admin for coming up with a new fundraiser

Really, it's not like this is a scientific poll anyways. I mean with those powerups, etc shaking things up, it's just a fun way to raise money for DU.

And there are so many Gore fanatics here, they were bitching at first b/c Gore wasn't listed. I don't really care if he is or isn't in a silly fun run. He's not running for president anyways.

41. Because those who can't or won't support him any other way need an outlet

Kind of childish to me. Sitting here all day wasting money just to see a head out in front when it means absolutely nothing.

42. So I guess you think donating to DU is wasting money?

And trust me, it means something.

43. it only means you have more money than others and don't know what to do with it

And you see that star by my name? That wasn't the point and you know it, because had Al Gore not been entered into this to once again use his name to get donations, you and others probably wouldn't have donated. So don;t turn this on me. I personally think it's BS and that's my right.

46. it wasn't wasted money, in fact, it was Divine Providence which put Al up front

Edited on Sat Nov-17-07 01:44 PM by JackORoses

Fate decreed the FrontRunner Powerup to me, and thus to Gore.
It was no accident.

I would donate for you and send you some steps so you could join in the fun,
but you would probably just use them against Al.

"I personally think it's BS and that's my right."

Jinkees, what a Sourpuss!
