I don’t believe this for one bleepin moment. Al (the Bore) Gore says he’s not going to run for POTUS ever again. I can’t see him NOT doing this. He has maintained a constant public profile, using President Bush as a bashing toy, since the day Bush took office.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would be “a different country” if he had won the 2000 election, launching into a scathing attack of the Bush administration.

“I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again,” Gore told reporters after giving a speech at an economic forum in Sweden.

He’s right about one thing…America would be a different country if he were President. We probably would be taken over by now by Islamic extremists. Or well on the way.

When asked how the United States would have been different if he had become president, though, he had harsh criticism for Bush’s policies.

“We would not have invaded a country that didn’t attack us,” he said, referring to Iraq. “We would not have taken money from the working families and given it to the most wealthy families.”

“We would not be trying to control and intimidate the news media. We would not be routinely torturing people,” Gore said. “We would be a different country.”

Oh puleeeze Al. You’re so boring when you keep talking the same rhetoric each and every time we hear from you.
I’m so sick of hearing this, along with your constant references to Global Warming.

Speaking of which….

Gore also reiterated his criticism that the Bush administration was too slow in responding to the crisis in New Orleans after the city’s levees failed during Hurricane Katrina. He said that should have been predicted.

“There were specific warnings that the levees might break,” he said. “But for whatever reason those warnings were not acted upon in a timely way.”

He said the United States and other countries are similarly ignoring the threats that global warning pose to the environment.

“My country is extremely attentive to the slightest increase in a risk from terror, and that’s appropriate,” he said. “But why should we be so tolerant of risk where the future habitability of our planet is concerned?”

SO when we’re trying to take care of the terrorist threat, we lose because Global warming takes the back burner (every pun intended). Since the terrorist threat is real and in the world’s face, and global warming is really an unproven science, let’s go gung ho on those things we’re not sure of. If one doesn’t destroy us the other will. I would pay attention to all that I can see-to what is real. I have to keep reminding myself that Al (the bore) Gore lives in that (un)reality based world.
