President Al Gore
I can smell it on the air. It’s coming. He’s the only one who can stop Billary, and given how close he came last time, and how the Republicans have pissed away any semblance of goodwill and loyalty to principles...yeah...if he gets in he can take the whole thing.
Righties: GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. Stop bickering like little babies. Stop taking an opposite position just because it;s opposite to someone you dislike personally. Stop saying and doing every stupid thing you can imagine. Stop letting Democrats - no, scratch that, stop letting HILLARY - have the conservative, constructionist high ground when it comes to reigning in government.
TAKE. IT. BACK.
I hate to say it, but listening to about 12% of what Ron Paul has to say might not be the worst idea ever in the short term. Listening to Fred more than McCain and Huckabee more than Giuliani might be smart, at least for a few months while you re-group and re-focus. Get on the smaller government wagon train. Directly oppose the aggressive socialization of this country. Draw a line that clearly separates the Republican way of governing from the Democrat’s methods. Give us a real choice to make, not just a choice between bad or worse, or exactly-the-same-with-a-different-label.
The Wooden Indian just won a Nobel. It’s meaningless to anyone with a brain, but it’s one of a long line of shiny things that make Fat Albert attractive to a large segment of the population. If you opposed him in 2000...he’s only gotten worse. All the crazy, unnecessary lies, the willingness to be bought and paid for, the fervent promises to literally take guns out of your hands (I’m looking at you, NRA and SAF members, do you remember how bad he was?), the radical, economically dangerous environmentalism...it’s all there times eleventy. If Republicans keep acting like little children (and Democrats), we will be calling Fat Albert President Fat Albert in a year and change.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. And don’t fill my comments with “Well, this person is bad because” or “This blogger is ruing the world because.” I don’t want to hear it. Al Gore is going to win if someone can convince him to run. Find a way to work with the person you despise or it will be your fault.

Yeah. I got nuthin’ and no-one in mind. A vote for a non Rep is a vote for the dems. Fundies want to stay home? That’s another vote for Hillary. Even Ahnold is playing nanny state politics. WTF?
We, middle class by real non democrat standards, are so fucked.

Is his house still run by the amount of fossil fuels used by a whole block of houses?

what is the definition of “middle class” anyway by today’s standards? or “upper middle” or “upper”?
i’m curious…

I was just referring to NOT Shrillary’s definition
She told him she didn’t want to put an additional tax burden on the middle class but would consider a “gap,” with no Social Security taxes on income from $97,500 to around $200,000. Anything above that could be taxed.
An Associated Press reporter overheard the conversation and discussed it with Bowman. He said he didn’t agree with Clinton and felt that as someone who makes under $97,500 he pays an unfair share.
“I understand that in her world $97,000 is the middle class, but here in Iowa $97,000 doesn’t qualify as the middle class,” Bowman said.

oh, i hope you don’t think i was trying to be contentious. i honestly don’t know the answer to my question. i never really did. someone once referred to me as middle class, and i consider myself “upper middle,” and consider the SUPER rich to be in the upper class (unless you put yet another category of the elite class). but i’m not sure if i even know what i am, so i was curious ;)

Wow--if $97,000 is middle class then I’ve had an unnatural view of my standing. I must be lower class--or middle upper lower class--or maybe upper middle lower class---or maybe just trailer trash in a $200k home.... :) The only time I’ve made close to $97k is one year where I worked a LOT of overtime with only 13 days off in the year…

Amen brother!! Dude, I have been preaching this to everyone who will hear, and they just do not get it. Why? Because they don’t remember anything that happened less than 2 weeks ago.
Remember 92? Bush senior focked it all away by not focusing on the reasons why he and Reagan were elected in the first place. i.e Strong Security, low taxes, and smaller government. Not all that hard a thing to remember. So those in the Middle, that truly elect a president, swung to Perot and Clinton, ushering in that golden age of mysogeny. Same thing will happen here. No matter what Billary’s negatives are, the most important positive is that she’s not a Republican, she’s not the cat’s in power. Theirs a change in the wind unless they get their shit together. I doubt it, however.

No worries Jo Jo, I had read the article I linked and that’s what I was thinking, referring to in my head anyway. $97K seems high for the average middle-middle class to me, but I don’t really know the definitions either.

i’m not going to comment on the politics involved in this post, since you and i do not see eye to eye (shut up, that was NOT an invitation for a short joke) on a lot of things, and many of your readers and i are diametrically opposed.
however, the “fat albert” comments have me giggling ;)
when i saw him on tv at, i guess it was the oscars, i screeched, “OMG AL GORE ATE AL GORE!!!!!”
