Dear Almost President Gore:
There are only about 10 Democrats with backbones and you are one of them. You'd make a great president because you have the brains, the personality and the experience to handle a superpower. Bush has the experience and the desire only to handle a super soaker. That is his level of expertise. I also like John Edwards and he should be your VP.
So, why didn't you win in 2000? You got ambushed by everyone and everything. Ralph Nader should rot in hell after the lies he told about you and the Democrats and for what he did to this country to satisfy his own damn ego. I used to really like him.
The press hated you. One evening I saw Dana Milbank on
Hardball say that you thought you were better than the press and they acted accordingly and never gave you a break. He also said that Bush, who probably was better than the press, whatever the hell that meant, acted like their friend and they treated him much better than they treated you. What a stupid thing for him to say. I guess that's a problem with
Hardball. It seems like everyone on the show says really stupid things, especially the phony lying and distorting Chris Matthews. We here on the DailyKos hate that him and I think I can speak for most people here.
So, Matthews was against you and he loved Bush because Bush had an alcohol problem he overcame. Gee, that's quite the resume for the leader of the world. Just think about how many recovering alcoholics there, they can all be Republican presidential and congressional nominees.
Imus hated you too. He holds Democrats to a much higher standard than Republicans. Who is more of a lowlife, than Bush yet for all the lies, all the phony hype, all the hypocrisy, for all those who died and were maimed so that he could look like GI Joe instead of the idiot kid in the White House, for all the incompetence, before 9/11, on 9/11 and after 9/11 and for all the arrogance he gets a pass from Imus and his merry band of right wing freaks. The guy's a whore so don't take it personally. He wanted a bigger audience and like whores do, he continually sells himself to the Republicans for ratings. The only way to stop him would be for his favorite Democrats to jump all over him showing lots of anger and disgust when he goes off on you. However, those pitful Democratic I faves don't share a backbone between them.
Imus loves McCain and why not, who can kiss Bush's ass faster than McCain. Me, I can't understand how he doesn't rip Bush and Rove a new one after what they did to him in South Carolina. That shows what he's made of. You, on the other hand volunteered for Viet Nam too and you weren't stupid enough to be captured.
So, how can we help you, one of the only Democrats who shows anger and disgust for the Republicans? How can we help you identify what you need to do?
As I see it, you have two problems. When you start to pause and ponder your bottom teeth seem to become more prominent and you begin to look a little nuts. I think you have to work on that nice pal, good friend look. That is the only thing George W. Bush can do without screwing up and he does it so well he hides what a hideous person he is. Learn how he does it because he's the imbecile that gets lots of votes just on that look. Let's face, Dan Quayle looks like a genius next to Bush yet who is president?
Second, smile more, as though you were being interviewed by someone you like. That's it!!!!! You have all the rest.
However, you need one more thing. You need to get your Democratic colleagues off their lazy asses and you need to get them to go after the Republicans and the press.
One day Alan Simpson was on some talk show where Forrest Sawyer (I think) was the moderator and some Democratic self annihilating schmuck was on against the ex Senator.. Maybe it was Robert Reich, I don't remember.
Simpson was talking about your vote for Desert Storm and that you demanded some kind of ridiculous concessions for that vote. Forrest Sawyer got mad and said to Simpson that he cannot make improvable accusations like that against you. Simpson smile and said, "an attack unanswered is an attack believed."
So, THEY have to step on the heads of these lying Republicans and the moderators like Matthews, Hannity and Imus, who don't have the integrity of a Forrest Sawyer.
I hope you take over the Democratic Party tomorrow. Just push Kerry into a closet and nobody wants Hillary to run except the Republicans. You need to control the Democratic Senators. You need to stop Biden from free-lancing and you have to get Dodd to stop complimenting and covering for Bush.
You can do this and you have our trust right out of the box, because you actually beat Bush with everything possible against you.
We'll be here to cover your back and we will make the Democrats who wimp out and don't stand with you an offer they can't refuse, we won't vote for them.
Go Gettem Mr. President!
