Prominent political fundraisers who backed Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign are reserving support for the current slate of 2008 Democrats in hopes the former vice president will swoop in for another White House bid.
H.E. "Sonny" Cauthen Jr. told The Washington Times he has been flattered to get calls from candidates asking for his help this time around, but said he is hesitating on picking one while he waits to see what Mr. Gore decides.
"If he wants to run, I would be very supportive of that," said Mr. Cauthen, a founding partner of the Washington lobbying firm Cauthen Forbes & Williams and a 2000 fundraiser for the Gore campaign.
"I just don't see any reason for him not to run," Mr. Cauthen added. "He's the only prospective candidate we have who has already won one time. He didn't serve -- he was denied the presidency -- but he won that race."
I believe that any of the front runners on the Democratic side can win in 08, but the difference is that Al Gore is just best suited at this point in time to restore hope here in our system and abroad in the belief that America is a leader nation The only issues we lead on today is militarism, greed and abandonment of our our social network to support those that did not have a trust fund or a job waiting for them via mommy and daddy.
During these last 7 years I cannot see one area others then the ones I pointed out where American is perceived as a leader. How many countries is it unsafe for Americans to visit 7 years later. Our Olympic team had to travel in unmarked buses. They were not in Iraq they were at the gathering of nations for these games in blacked out buses. Plus aginst the very words he spoke prior to be elected George Bush is nation building in the last place in the world that American services personal should be and the last place in the world that want our help. Ever wonder about that folks.....Why we are really there. Just follow the money..................................
As for the home front goes gas is heading to 4 bucks a gallon, (part of the money trail) we are throwing the people out that are the very ones that we need to repopulate our numbers (that declining US birthrate) and working the jobs that most of us will not handle. This disconnect further divides us as a nation because Mr and Ms Smart ass are not going to bank a million without the help of many, many others including the immigrants that are watching their kid grown up or serving them a fast food invitation to a life in hell on drugs .
Who gains from all of this? I can tell you a hand full of companies do... Just look to those that are reaping record profits, anyone else notice that we are not hearing about these corporate windfalls. That is because those in control told the 5 outlet for 90 percent of the new s told them to lay off it. Does anyone really think that the oil companies, big pharma, and media mega giants are not swimming in money...........No because they are showing sports and entertainment stars with their drama as mainline news.
Is any of this helping our nation understand the perils that lay-in-waiting ....no. Some don't think we have a climate issue Then why is Florida's pre-census data showing a massive withdrawal of people out of the sunshine state. Because they no long like the beach the water. Nope they just don't want to be there when the water is above their roofs,
How about gangs of F2 - 5 tornadoes wiping whole towns off the map. I bet the National Guards would be useful in these situations. I hear the Gov. of Maryland is having a hard time understanding how to take care of Marylanders with so many troops and assets overseas. We are not that far away for hurricane season and with what is happening now including the flooding in the Midwest......
Anyone want to know what the Feds know about this--April 23, 2007 Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed..For what end I ask?
Just look at the rebuilding efforts in NO, they known that sooner or latter the whole place is going to get flooded along with most of South Texas.and FLA...........and people are going to be angry so instead of helping them before it happens lets herd them up afterwards. I wonder what companies are going to make some mega bucks off this............
Guess who does know what is in store for us and may have a few good ideas on how to go about addressing them..................Well who is the only public figure out in front on the climate issue or stood up against the Presidents War, not mine not Congresses Bush alone declared war, Maybe Cheney did and told him to go look like the decider.
I say Give EM Gore............................................................................in 08.
