Gore has never gotten over his defeat, and still harbors a desire to be President. He is pandering to the far left side of the democrats, in hopes that after a deadlock at the convention, when Hillary falls short of the nomination, Gore can be resurected as the compromise candidate to regain the White House.
The dems are just wacky enough to go for it.

Mark,
The bitterness comes from him sending 2500 Americans to their death, and countless iraqis for a war we had no business being in, maybe if he had done his job and secured Afghanistan, and caught OBL, we would have let him slide.
See you at the impeachment hearings. LOL

TEO,
No, the bitterness comes from Gore's failed attempt at stealing the 2000 elections...upon this bit of BS, you on the left have decided to weave an absurd anti-war stance...pretending that you oppose the war (which you really don't give a damn about, one way or the other), when all you really oppose is President Bush.

You raise an interesting point. It should have become apparent from the beginning that the military is not large enough to meet the current threats we face that we should have worked to increase the size of the military long ago. Senator John McCain thinks the administration made a mistake in not calling for an increase in the size of the military after 911. I agree with him. I think it was last year when the Senator made those statements. At the time he said this, he felt we could still do it. I hope he is right. Leaving Saddam in power seems to be inconsistent with winning the war against terrorism. As I have said before, the war in Iraq may have been misguided. Perhaps Saddam could have been contained some other way. In any event, it should have become apparent long ago that we need to increase the size of the military. We need to give them the tools they need to win. I hope the Colonel will push for increases in the size of the military and for better equipment for the soldiers who are fighting for our national survival.

Bitterness and hatred Mark? What exactly do you base this on? Everytime I have seen him in an interview, he is polite, composed and very logical and well spoken.
The problem you really have with him is that you see Gore and deep down inside you, you wish that President Bush could be more like Gore, instead of a clumsy, poorly spoken, gramitically incorrect and illogical texas-wannabe hick. Why hes not even a real Texan.
I can also say that had Gore won in 2000, which he would have if the Supreme Court not stopped the legal recount, America would without question have a number of victories in its hat, instead of the failure after failure after failure that is the Bush administrations track record and legacy.
Say what you will of Gore, but I can say with 100% certainty that Gore would not have had a failed presidency like dubya has.

Well, as a Canadian, I guess you are excused from knowing that by any means Gore was attempting a recount, President Bush would still have come out on top...they just didn't stuff the ballot boxes quite enough for him, I guess.
As for whom I wish President Bush were like...that is nonsense. I write for a blog called Blogs for Bush: it is a certainty that I hold President Bush in high esteem.
As it is, he's miles ahead of Gore both in intellect and courage...Gore mangles his syntax as much as President Bush...indeed, we all do, its just that the MSM got itself a hook, and you've fallen for it...rather gullible of you, but then again, you are a leftist and that is just a bit of same/same.

"In my view, a president who breaks the law poses a threat to the very foundation of our democracy," Gore said...
Clearly Al Gore does not think that a VICE "...president who breaks the law poses a threat to the very foundation of our democracy,"
Because I distinctly remember Gore using Federal funds, via his office in the White House and his Vice Presidential aides, plus government phones, to solicit funds for the Democratic Party. Illegal, my dear Gore. And it was Gore soliciting funds from foreign nationals, most famously in an apearance in front of a group of Bhuddist nuns in San Francisico.
(Should Gore go on to pontificate against lying, we can discuss his many claims that he did not know the San Fran appearance was a fund-raiser---till a copy of his schedule and e-mail were unearthed, where he referenced not being able to attend another function because of his previous commitment to a fund-raiser in San Francisco.)
I don't remember Gore registering any complaint at all at any of Clinton's many law-breaking escapades, from his warrantless searches of white supremacist compounds after the OKC bombing to the illegal imprisonment of Ho Wen Lee to the slaughter at Waco to giving Johnny Huang top secret clearance (over the objections of all the U.S. intelligence agencies) and inviting him to sit in on Pentagon briefings, to taking money from China. Maybe this sensitivity to law-breaking is new, part of Gore---The Sequel, Part 9.

Let me see---Al Zarqawi was only one man, and killing him could not have the slightest effect on the war because after all, he was only one man. But Osama? Well, Osama may just be one man, but he is so grand, so important, so amazingly powerful, that we simply cannot claim the slightest bit of progress while he is still free.
Free, slinking from cave to cave, issuing pleas for more money from the ex-followers who think he is a weenie for hiding out instead of fighting, reduced to sending video tapes that include only an old still photo of him. Wow. If we need any more proof that Osama's a has-been, just look at how he is reduced to stealing taliking points from the Donks. Can't get much lower than that.
Third Eye Dripping is evidently arguing that we should either kill OBL, thereby elevating him to something approaching his prior status by making him a martyr, or capturing him, putting him back on the world stage a la Sadaam and setting up a real mess of hostage takings, retaliatory raids, and so on. And he will deny that he is rooting for anything that will harm the U.S. war effort? Yeah, right.
No, as long as Osama is a feeble old man, scurrying from cave to cave, out of the picture, and out of power, the ooozing eye and his cronies are fit to be tied. This is too effective a strategery---they want thins stirred up, a real mess, so they will have something they can relate to. They just go intso absolute SPASMS of indignation when Bush says he doesn't think much about Osama. Not think about him? Ignore him? Ignore their HERO?? But THEY think of nothing ELSE!!
But of course the concept of neutralizing an enemy is way too subtle for these simpletons.
