Al Gore for President?

Rumors are starting to percolate that Al Gore is going to make a bid for the presidency. Will it happen?


I think so, but I would never vote for him. I heard on The Right Balance this morning that a good Democratic source says that he is. Newsmax is saying that he will.

He almost won 7 years ago. He seems to be positioning himself for a run with his "Inconvenient Truth" tour. He is his own greatest fan. So it wouldn't surprise me in the least!

So, if it doesn't happen, forget you read this. But if it does--you heard it here third!

Or, how about this...vice presidential running mate for Hillary...? ...Naw...!

    Gore would not play second fiddle to a Clinton a second time. He's either going for the top spot or nothing. Of course, his recent fearmongering has done little to endear him to some of the middle ground folks that voted for him in 2000.

    I worked for Gore's team a bit on some small-time issues back in the 70's. He was very humble and intelligent.

    And I seriously doubt you have ever met him, or seen him in person. So where does one get off writing something like "he's his own greatest fan."?

    It's childish, uninformed tripe like this that is destroying our party, people! We keep warming up to Malkin and O'Reilly like they really speak for us. Then (as this post shows) we start to SOUND like them?

    What happened to fiscal responsibility and small government? When did we become the party of cheap, mis-informed jabs and childish name calling?

    Puh-leeeeeeze!

    With Love,

    You're right. I've never met him, and I probably violated my own maxim of just a couple of posts ago ("How not to treat people").

    However, I did watch "An Inconvenient Truth", and it is on this that I base my statement that he is his own greatest fan. Inconvenient Truth was very short on science and very long on self-aggrandizement. This is the basis for my statement.

    I'm not sure where you're coming from with your last paragraph, but for the record I agree with you that we need "fiscal responsibility and small government".

    In the movie Gore pokes fun at himself. The science isn't exactly Nature or Science, but it's much more solid than anything out of the Bush administration -- it relies on real measures of real things in the real world.

    My work with Al Gore showed me he is a humble man (albeit with grand talent and energy), a man of faith, and a man of great vision.

    Is that why he strikes such fear in people?

Red Clothing and Resurrection: Jesus Christ's Second Coming

The scriptures teach that when Christ comes again to the earth, that he will be wearing red apparel. Why red ? They also teach that at Christ's coming, many of the dead will become resurrected. Will this only include members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Not by a long shot, no matter what some Mormon might tell you.

To Have the Compassion of an Ogre

At least when it comes to using government as a weapon of compassion, I have the compassion of the ogre. I will explain below why I think government cannot and should not be in the business of compassion. The force of government has caused many people to show less compassion to their fellow men. On the other hand, some of the best things happen when government is not compassionate. In such circumstances, individuals personally begin to display more compassion. One such instance of this happened recently in Utah when the governor asked the legislature to convene a special session in order to (among other things) provide special monies to pay for dental care for the disabled . If they didn't fund the governor's compassion project, it would make the legislators look even more heartless in a year where the budget surplus was projected to be at least $150 million. In spite of these political odds, the legislature did not grant the $2 million that 40,000 members of the disabled

Hey, Senator Buttars: "Happy Holidays!!"

Utah Senator Chris Buttars may be a well-meaning individual, but his actions often don't come out that way. His latest lament, with accompanying legislation that businesses use the phrase "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays", is at least the third case in point that I am aware of. First, we were entertained by the faux pas made by the Senator in the 2008 Utah Legislative session, when referring to an In reality, America has a Judeo -Christian heritage, so maybe Senator Buttars should change his legislation to "encourage" businesses to advertise with " Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas"...? analogy of a human baby, of declaring that " this baby is black ". Then there was the attempt to help a friend develop his property in Mapleton, Utah, by using the force if his legislative office . Let's see if we can top that... Who cares that businesses hock their Christmas wares by using the term "Happy Holidays"? I
