Al Gore, I like the guy, is he available for export?

Question

I'm not from the US, so sorry if my intrusion into your politics offends, but I just wanted to say that Al Gore is the only politician I've seen (from the US, UK, anywhere) who says exactly what I think, and have been thinking.

From his election campaign in 2000, to his criticism of Iraq policy before the war, to his comments on Springsteens website, to his latest film, pretty much everything I've seen him say/write has been in tune with the way I feel.

I've always hated politicians, but Al is the only exception I've seen. If you guys in the US don't want him to run in 2008, can we please import him over here to Britain, to take down Blair?

How do other feel about Al?

Answer 1

He probably would like to go, do you have fair and honest elections, we don't, we should be addressing him as president Gore and the repuglicans here should be the ones bitching. But he and Clinton had the government running smoothly and we sure could have used him as president.

Answer 2

What I undergo in innovations maximum approximately Al Gore is the certainty he's a ultimate debater and is extra articulate than very almost every physique i've got ever viewed. yet, I did watch "An Inconvenient certainty", and for all of the assistance that became offered, his sincerity even if, I felt there became extremely some incorrect information that became bogus interior the long haul. i do no longer see how the Myanmar tragedy is any distinctive than the different of hundreds of anamolies that ensue international huge and prefer the action picture, in case you study each via itself reward, it turns into surprising. Thats what surpassed off interior the action picture and records would nicely be analyzed and scrutinized until the cows come abode, and nevertheless, there is that hazard that one and all it rather is a organic technique and we purely ensue to be interior the incorrect place on the incorrect time. Al Gore isn't a nut activity. he's thoroughly ordinary in what he believes, unsuitable, yet it would desire to be. Savior? slightly overstated, in line with risk. And yeah, he's a newborn-kisser who hasn't have been given an elected activity on the 2d, yet nevertheless a newborn-kisser. And specific, he has a ultimate innovations. Scientifically conversing, that i might leave to his friends, as to how wonderful it rather is. i might pick 3.

Answer 3

I see Al Gore like I see nearly every politician. Most are out for the good of the country but disagree on how to accomplish that. I believe Al Gore (and George Bush) are both wanting the good of the country, but neither one is fully correct, nor are they fully incorrect. But Al Gore is a good guy I think. Thing is, I think the same of Tony Blair for the UK, I think he is out for the good of the Britain though I'm not sure he is going about it in the right way (but his intentions are good).

Truthfully though, I'm pretty sure Al Gore could never win in America after that whole Florida fiasco (made him look like a sore loser), so if it were possible I would send him to Britain because I agree that he can do a lot of good for the world scene.

Answer 4

Al Gore is a failure in America, he is a politician so beware they aren't people you want to love. I think most americans would like him out of the coutry for one reason or the other. Good luck, Al Gore makes a lot of money no in days I don't see him giving up that.

Answer 5

Can't have him 'cause he needs to stay here to serve when he's elected President in 2008 and 2012. Maybe England, Scotland, Wales, and N.I. can be to 51st-54th states if you'd like?

Answer 6

I like him, but I'm disappointed that he didn't make a stand when the Presidency was stolen from him. I feel like it was his responsibility to the American people to fight for it....since the majority of Americans chose him.

I'm going to see him speak live next month. Maybe I'll let him know that he really let me down. :(

Answer 7

I'd love to export Al Gore... permanently. He's an extremist environmentalist, but (typically) has no scientific background or knowledge to be able to objectively analyze the silly crap he espouses or the discredited chicken-little scenarios that he pushes.

Take Al Gore... PLEASE!!!

Answer 8

SOVIET CONNECTION
The Gore family was obliged to former Soviet agent, Armand Hammer for their family fortune. See DOSSIER The Secret History of Armand Hammer by Edward Jay Epstein from Random House. According to official Hammer biographer Neil Lyndon writing in London’s Sunday Review, Hammer liked to brag that he had Al Gore, Sr., "in his back pocket" while patting his wallet and chuckling. Hammer also helped to launch Al Gore, Jr., into politics with "prolonged and profound involvement."

In 1950, Hammer had made Congressman Gore, the father, a partner in a cattle-breeding business, and Gore made a substantial and unwarranted profit from it in a transparent kick-back scheme. Zelnick notes that, while receiving prize Angus stock from Hammer on the one hand, Gore Sr. at the same time auctioned off portions of his herd reportedly at outrageously high prices to lobbyists and others who wanted his attention. Sometimes, according to local accounts, purchasers didn't even bother to pick up the livestock they had bought. The author quotes former Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter, a staunch Gore ally: "I've sold some Angus in my time, too, but I never got the kind of prices for my cattle that the Gores got for theirs."
Hammer's largest acquisition was Island Creek Coal, the nation's third-largest coal producer, which Hammer made Albert Gore chairman of.
At five previous inaugurations before Reagan, Hammer had been the guest of Gore's father, Albert Gore, Sr., who now headed Occidental's coal division and earned more than $500,000 a year.
Hammer bought a farm and its mineral rights and then sold it to Al Gore, Sr., in a sweetheart deal (don't try this at home - you WILL go to jail. This is only for professionals). A year later in 1974 Al Gore, Jr., "bought" the farm (this is how he became a slumlord - he jokes that he will be a better steward of the nation's economy than of his own rental property). Hammer paid Junior $20,000 a year for the "mineral rights" (zinc) although no mining was done on the farm until 1985 and, of course, in spite of the fact that Hammer had previously owned the rights free and clear and so had no reason to pay at all. During the 25 years that Gore Jr. has leased the right to mine zinc on his property along the Caney Fork River outside Carthage, Tenn., he has earned more than $450,000. The lease payment of $227 per acre was quite a bit higher than the established Occidental rate of $30 an acre in that area. Occidental never actually mined the property but paid Gore $190,000 altogether before selling the lease, which since has changed hands several times, shifting around the right to pay Gore. Vice President Al Gore still gets the $20,000 a year and is very sensitive about the subject of KGB agent Hammer whom he did numerous favors for.
Most Americans don't know that Occidental tripled its domestic oil reserves overnight because of a historic reinventing-government decision announced by Vice President Gore. Oil companies have been lusting after the Elk Hills Oil Reserve in California for 70 years, but it was not until Bill Clinton and Al Gore that it was opened up, with Occidental the high bidder. This was the largest sale of US assets ever. It had been held as an oil reserve for the Navy since 1912.
Another Gore-Occidental connection is the Love Canal toxic-waste tragedy. Gore, who claimed to have unearthed the scandal, hasn't been forthcoming about ownership of Hooker Chemical Co., the firm that paid millions of dollars in fines for polluting Love Canal. Hooker was a subsidiary of Occidental, purchased by Hammer in 1969. At that time, insider Gore Sr. took advantage of a stock offer, well below market value, and scarfed up thousands of shares of Hooker at $150 per. It could be said that the Gores CREATED Love Canal.
What makes this interesting is that Bill Clinton was a student at the KGB recruiting center of Oxford, stayed with the Communist Party Chairman in Prague, and spent a month in Moscow with no visible means of support. Clinton chose Gore as his Vice President. Hmmmm.

Answer 9

If you'd like him, I'd be pleased to see him leave. He doesn't do much but hug trees, and we do still have a country to run..

Answer 10

Please take Al away so we don't have to worry about him anymore. You can have Hilary also, for good measure.
