This just shows how out of touch with reality you really are. You think GORE would unite the country? He is incredibly polarizing. Almost as bad as the most cheated on woman in the world, Hildabeast.
It's telling that not one person can come up with any coherent reason for the visceral hatred of Hillary. This thread is 7 pages long and the question has been asked several times. Can anyone give any rational excuse for the Hillary hate?
I am a liberal and I 'strongly dislike' her because her positions are very calculating. She voted for and supported the war for a very very long time. She is a pretty liberal person and I believe that she never truly believed in the war, but went along with it anyway because it was the politically smart thing to do. She never had the balls to come out and say what she really believed like some people ( Al gore ) did. Al Gore took alot of heat for coming out against the war, and she just stood on the sidelines and watched. Now 5 yrs later, its politically ok to be against the war and she is now starting to pick up the rhetoric that al gore was using 5 YEARS AGO.
I agree with a lot with what you said and that is the reason I will not vote for her in the primary. I will still vote for her in the general election? Would you?
Search fxn is down, sorry if repost. Gore rules out presidential bid Nobel laureate Al Gore Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth was an unlikely box office hit Former US Vice-President Al Gore has ruled out again making a late entry into the 2008 presidential race. In an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK, he said he would not make a fresh bid for the White House. Mr Gore told NRK he wanted to focus on his climate change campaigning, which won him a Nobel Peace Prize last week. Mr Gore, the beaten Democratic candidate in the 2000 election, had repeatedly stated he had no interest in standing again for president. But a national organisation which has campaigned for him to stand once more for the White House said traffic on its website had surged in the wake of his Nobel triumph. 'Climate crisis' Mr Gore told NRK it was a "great honour" to be awarded the prize for his climate campaigning. Asked how it would affect his political future, he replied: "I don't have plans to be a candidate again so I don't really see it in that context at all. "I'm involved in another kind of campaign. It's a global campaign to change the way people think about the climate crisis." On Tuesday, the Draft Gore organisation said it had gathered 200,000 signatures. Mr Gore was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The 59-year-old won an Oscar for his 2006 documentary climate change film An Inconvenient Truth. Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton, wife of ex-US president Bill Clinton, is the current Democratic front-runner for 2008.
Bingo. I didn't vote for Kerry in the primary, and was dismayed that he got the nomination. I did, however, vote for him in the general election, and had no hesitation doing so. I won't vote for Clinton in the primary, but if she gets the nomination (I hope not, but we'll see), I will vote for her gladly, knowing that as imperfect as she is, she will still be putting an end to the most terrible Presidency in generations, for whom responsibility sits with the Republican Party, a Presidency even worse than Nixon's, and I was delighted to be able to vote against him. Voting for McGovern was something I relished doing. He wasn't my first choice as a nominee, either, but far better for the country than that criminal, Tricky Dick. The GOP deserves to be hammered in '08 for bringing us the disaster of the Bush Presidency. And it will be good for the GOP. If a political party ever cried out to to shaken, root to branch, and reformed, it is the Republican Party. Past time for a change. D&D. Impeach Bush for Promoting Torture and for Gross Incompetence.
for starters... she doesnt want to end the iraq war, just like bush she wants to attack iran, just like bush she is pro-amnesty/open borders, just like bush she is pro-north american union, just like bush she has had protesters removed from public events, just like bush
Somehow I don't think republicans see these things as a bad thing. It still doesn't explain the hate.
Having Gore as president would be like having the flip side of Bush. Our country really can afford to have someone like Gore...thankfully, people would never vote for him once they actually scrutinized him as a candidate.
i agree that republicans dont see these things as bad...when it is their guy doing it. but the question was regarding what people dont like about hillary - i dont like her for the reasons i stated.
are you just saying this bc you disagree w/ this gw theory? he won the popular vote... i dont know where he stands on the various issues but i think he would make an interesting candidate. in the general election, i think hed do better among moderates than hillary would bc there are a lot of people out there who have a severe dislike for hillary.
I think Gore would end up like the next Jimmy Carter, except Gore isn't honest. I just feel that after Bush, we need a president who can be straight with America, not another guy exagerrating and lying about something to push his agenda through.
Every president has an agenda they try to push through within their first 100 days in office. I'd rather have Gore enact his agenda of responsibility and accountability instead of Bush's agenda of corruption, dishonesty and obfuscation.
exagerrate... maybe lying... unlikely are you saying gore is tring to cut carbon emissions so he can make a quick buck?
forcing us to cut back on industrial power and energy under the the phantom fear that cities will be under 20 feet of water is the same thing as Bush telling us we have to invade Iraq for fear of WMD's. It's really the same thing. And we don't need these types of leaders.
