Gore Endorses Obama, Rips Bush
By Wyatt Earp | June 16, 2008
In other news, water is wet, and the NBA sucks.
Former Vice President Al Gore endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Monday, urging Americans to reject what he called the Bush administration’s legacy of “incompetence, negligence and failure.”
Yawn. Can someone please replace the Gorbot’s memory tapes? His last original rant was recorded in 2001. Maybe he should take the advice of his favorite Lefty website and MOVE ON!
“Americans simply cannot afford to continue the policies of the last eight years for another four,” Gore, the party’s 2000 presidential nominee, told Obama supporters at a rally in Detroit, Michigan.
No matter how many times I hear this rhetoric, it still makes me laugh. Democrat politicians, for the most part, are idiots with dreadfully short memories. John McCain cannot be more different than George W. Bush. Hell, his own Party can’t stand him because he sides with the DEMOCRATS so often! He crosses the aisle more often than any other “Republican” senator, and was applauded as a hero by the Dems for it . . . until he won the GOP nomination. Then, he immediately became an Evil Conservative who was in bed with GWB. Will someone please feed the word RINO into the Gorbot’s CPU?
“After the last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter,” Gore said, adding, “After eight years of lost jobs and lower wages, we need change. After eight years of incompetence, negligence and failure, we need change.” (H/T – CNN)
And there it is. The Gorbot is now replicating The Obamessiah’s HopeChange mantra, and it only took a matter of hours. I know I have said a hundred times before here, but with Leftists, you need a couple hundred for the thought to sink in:
GEORGE W. BUSH IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2008! YOU’RE ATTACKING A GUY WHO IS NOT ON THE BALLOT, AND AS SUCH, ANY CANDIDATE ELECTED POTUS IS A CHANGE!!!
Morons.

I’m starting to really hate the word “change”. Really, really hate it.
Mr. I-Created-The-Internet is a complete moron. How having him on your side could be considered a plus, I do not understand.

Prepare for a rude awakening.
Although conventional wisdom sees Barack Obama as the future, I think he represents the past, even if he becomes President. He’ll take the Fifth on every one of the key controversies the world struggles with today. Not because he’s stupid, but because his constituency won’t let him face the issues.
They’ve elected him to make it all go away.
Wave the wand. Show his face and work his magic. That’s why most of his speeches are conjure. He’ll try manfully to do it. If anyone can work roll back history with spells, he’s the man. But the last phrase Barack Obama will ever utter is the only phrase that matters: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”
That’s precisely what he’s being elected to avoid. He’s being elected to make it all go away. And good luck to him. It’s the time for hard decisions. A time to choose.
What we are more likely to hear from Barack — because that’s what his constituency wants to hear — are words along the lines of “we are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe. My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.” Sleep they did. But they woke to a nightmare.
I don’t think we’ll have a world war, but neither do I believe we will have a “nice quiet sleep.”

Must have been a slow news day for CNN.

Oh, al-Gore, go back to kissing Tipper. At least that will shut you up.

I don’t want to see that man ever again. Algore went from a slightly boring drone to a total nut. When he was slighly boring, the media made fun of him but now he is John the Baptist to the Obamessiah. Ugh.

Didn’t AlBore claim once his mother-in-law’s dog got its meds cheaper than a real person could?

I expect to see Al Gore 24-7 during the Obama campaign.
Now that Teddy is out of the picture, and Bill Clinton is behaving like a petulant child, Al Gore has assumed the paternal figure in the LibDem party.
Remember that in the LibDem mind, Al Gore was cheated out of his Presidential race. But as the ‘injured party’ with an Oscar and a Noble Peace Prize in his back-pockets, he is at the apex of Liberaldom.
Although Obama preaches CHANGE, I have no doubt that he will buddy-up and trot out the o’l horse Gore every chance he gets.

Maybe Gore will be the VP…then McCain might have a chance.

I’m curious about the timing of the Gore endorsement.
Why didn’t Gore announce a while back?
Why didn’t he come out as soon as Hillary was off the slate?
Maybe Gore doesn’t want to make too many waves with this endorsement?
Maybe Gore, like a lot of Democrats, really isn’t that enthused with the Obama candidacy?

I really wish Al would listen to ol’ General McArthur and just fade away. He is really overstaying his welcome. Sheesh.

McCain’s problem is that he’s neither ‘fish nor fowl, nor good red meat’.
In other words, he’s simultaneously trying to run as both a ‘maverick’ in order to appeal to independents, and as a tax-cutting, war-fighting, ‘Bush Conservative’ in order to shore up his (nearly nonexistent) appeal to the party base.
Heck, there’s a whole cottage industry on YouTube of people splicing clips of McCain saying one thing in the past and now saying the exact opposite.
The ‘Maverick’ flip flops so much he makes John Kerry look like the Prudential Rock by comparison.
