Gore? The worlds only hope for unification.
[Read the article: Al Gore, anyone?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To bring back an appropriate phrase from the past, Bush at heart was nothing more than a two-bit punk who disrespected and demeaned the Whitehouse.
We voters follow his footsteps right off a cliff if we allow ourselves to lower our own standards by turning the election of the next leader of the free world into nothing more than a rigged game of Presidential Idol.
Ufortunately, there isn't one bright light among the current list of candidates on either side.
Just lots of dim bulbs.

Here's a novel way to calm Iraq..
[Read the article: Want change in Iraq? You've already got it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And shock the slog out of everyone else:
The Dems can prepare for war with Russia!
(Time they took a little pre-emptive diversion of their own )
"Russia threatening new cold war over missile defence"

Sick of C-spans cherry picked replays
[Read the article: Kerry slams Bush pick for VA post]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Has anyone else noted the absence of replayed events not necessarily favorable to the Administration? I've been looking to watch VA pick Kussmans' testimony in a replay, but where the hell is it? Never saw Feingolds Constitutional hearing either, and a host of others.
I've seen a pattern here with AEI or Heritage events on their 3rd and 4th replay, McCains speech has aired 3 times, pro-Bush, pro Iraq war surge press events on their 3rd replay.
Someone needs to adjust Brian Lamb's way of thinking or get him away from programming decisions...like his bringing Michelle Malkin on Washington Journal, on Veterans Day..during a time of war.
He needs to be held accountable and to the same responsible standards as anyone else in the media.
I want to hear Michelle and AEI. But I want the other side given equal air time.

No. But you helped everyone else prevail.
[Read the article: "We did prevail"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Insurgencies worldwide have been inspired, by Bush's blunt 'come and get me attitude'. And they are.
His withering touch has made it a duty for every man, woman and child to fight for themselves and their country.
Hell, he even inspired the Dems!
But Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has managed to rise above everyone. He now leaves the IMF and the World Bank debt free, regains control of his own resources, offers everyone discounted oil and loans, not to mention he's now something of a world hero.
But inside the Senate chambers, Republicans seem to have learned nothing. On this milestone of a new V-day, while Bush's pen is readied, the GOP is back on the floor crying "mayday" over oil. Same warnings, same dramatic b.s. complete with the maps and the blah blah of pre-war Iraq days.
Only this time their chosen evil-doer is Chavez, not Sadaam.
GOP tacos anyone?

Thinking of innocent Iraqi mothers, 'over there'....
[Read the article: Benchmarks and consequences]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I came across this website chronicaling what I believe to be the beginning of the end in Iraq.
http://forums.muslimvillage.net/lofiversion/index.php/t897.html
When I think of this Mother's Day and feel the love of my children, I can't help think of the horrendous damage we've done to the already impoverished mothers and families in Iraq.
But, more importantly, I can't help but think about what we've done to the minds of those Iraqi children surrounded by nightmarish violence 24 hours a day.
Just as Israel is and will be perpetually plagued by their violent Palestinian and Lebonese step-children, so too will the U.S. now be forever plagued with another new crop of traumatized children turned violent.
Only this time they're 'over there'. Waiting.

Reid and Hoyer just branded Dems as weak-kneed cowards!
[Read the article: Compromise or compromised?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]According to CQ, Hoyer was the key decider in trading the timeline OUT to keep the oil law IN.
Hoyer, also attacked by Colbert last night as a flip flopper on eithcs reform will undoubtedly go down as the Democrats worst Majority leader, ever.
And Reid, well how can you kick an old dog. He's always at the feet of Schumer and Lieberman.
But they all rolled over on the very issue responsible for their Majority position and permanently branded Democrats as the pathetic weaklings every one thought they were.
But, to receive that brand in a time of war shames me as a Democrat to no end.
For the first time, I see nothing worth voting for in '08.

Wouldn't that make Al Gore an evil-doer? YEAY!
[Read the article: Not exactly what we were thinking]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Democrats in Congress won the majority with the bold help of people like Cindy Sheehan, Governor Howard Dean, Senator Russ Feingold, Ex. Pres. Jimmy Carter and ex V.P Al Gore.
The Israeli lobby also won several new supporters in that election.
To determine who controls the U.S. Congress now, your need only to go back to March of this year. The Democratic leadership suddenly removed a serious provision requiring Bush to come to Congress for approval before taking any military action on Iran. Their excuses for removing that provision "..were not for Israel's behalf" as many had charged, but to help- shore up and pass the next bill with timelines for troop withdrawal.
The Democratic leaders went back on that word too.
Instead we find out that what they did keep in the bill, was Bush's 'steal the oil' law.
That small group in the Democratic leadership are now just as pro-war as Bush and Israel. But they actually represent only about 30% of the populations of Israel and the U.s. And they all have their sites on Iran.
The only viable candidate capable of bringing back the
Dems, and the world from the dark side is Al Gore.
It wasn't his time in 2000. It is now.
