“Al Gore For President” Rumors Ramp Back Up

IS THE WORLD’S TOP “GLOBAL WARMIST” GOING TO RUN?

|| By FITSNEWS || The self-proclaimed inventor of the internet and leader of the global warming movement is seriously considering a 2016 White House bid … or is he?

On Thursday, the website Buzzfeed reported former U.S. vice president Al Gore was having internal discussions with advisors who were “figuring out if there’s a path financially and politically” to run for president.  Those reports have been described by other media outlets as “overblown.”  In fact there’s a report in Gore’s home state paper – The Tennessean – debunking the rumor.

“That would be news to me, so I think somebody’s off base,” a friend of the ex-veep told the paper. “I’ve heard nothing along these lines, and I’d be very surprised.”

Here’s the thing, though: The fact such speculation is even being entertained is the latest bad news for the scandal-ravaged presidential campaign of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

Earlier this week, current U.S. vice president Joe Biden reportedly began putting out feelers for a possible 2016 run.  The 72-year-old Delaware politician is rumored to be making his decision within the next few weeks.

Any split of the “establishment” Democratic vote would be a boon for independent socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont – who continues to draw huge audiences on the campaign trail.  In fact Sanders recently overtook Clinton in early voting New Hampshire (a state she won in 2008).

What about Gore though?

The 67-year-old politician – who won the U.S. popular vote in 2000 but narrowly (and controversially) lost the electoral vote to George W. Bush – has drifted so far to the left he would probably peel votes away from Sanders, who is viewed as a pure progressive.

You know … compared to whatever it is Clinton has become (see here and here).

This isn’t the first time speculation about Gore has bubbled up.  In fact we addressed it back in March – when Clinton’s campaign was still flying high.

Will Gore pull the trigger?  We doubt it … but if Gore and Biden both jump into the Democratic primary election, that election could become even more interesting than the “Republican” goat rodeo, which has been thrown totally off-script by the say-anything candidacy of Donald Trump.

One thing is clear: The coronation of Hillary Clinton is officially off the rails.

If I could up vote you 100 times I would. LOL Can you imagine 911 with a pres. Gore ? “If you guys do that again we are going to be really, really mad.” From under his desk in the white house. LOL Thank God we had George Bush on 911. This is but another indicator of what the Dims have to offer— leftovers.

Please. If Gore had been President there might not have been a 9/11. He might would have taken the advance warning from the daily briefing to heart. There is no way to know for sure, but we do know Bush didn’t heed it.

If we didn’t unconditionally support Israel there might not have been a 9/11…

If we had provided a little more support there might not have been a 9/11.

What We Do Know August 14, 2015 at 10:05 am

I don’t know if Gore would have stopped 9/11 but I know he would not have gotten us engaged in the Middle East for as long as we were.

He would have surrendered quickly. LOL

I guarantee you that he wouldn’t have invaded Iraq and created the shitstorm we are currently seeing in the Middle East.

No, he’d have likely invaded Denmark by mistake.

You mean Bush right? Remember, attacked by guys from Saudi Arabia, at the instruction of a guy from Saudi Arabia in Afghanistan, attack Iraq.

The Colonel August 14, 2015 at 11:21 am

Nope, he did that on purpose.

He’s already said he isn’t interested in running.

A husband comes home with a half-gallon of ice cream. He asked his wife if she wants some.

“How hard is it?” she asked.

“About as hard as my dick,” he replies.

To which his wife replied, “OK, then. Pour me some.”

An old man woke up in the middle of the night and found, to his utter
astonishment, that his pecker was as hard as a rock for the first time in three months. He shook his wife by the shoulder until she woke up and
showed her his enormous boner.

“You see that thing, woman?” he happily exclaimed. “What do you think
we ought to do with it?”

With one eye open, his wife replied, “Well, now that you’ve got all the wrinkles out, this might be a good time to wash it.”

A little old couple in their eighties was sitting on the couch watching the Playboy movie channel. He looked at her and asked, “Do you think we can still do that?”

“Well, we can sure try!” she answered. So they shuffled off to the bedroom. He went into the bathroom to get ready and she took off all her clothes in the bedroom. When he came out of
the bathroom, he saw her standing on her head in the middle of the bedroom floor.

“What are you doing, sweetheart?” he asked.

“Well,” she replied, “I thought if you couldn’t get it up, maybe you could just drop it in!”

A guy was talking about his girlfriend —

“ I’m about three years into my relationship now and I’ve started to have erection difficulties. My girlfriend and I have different ideas as to what the problem is: She bought me some Viagra; and I’ve bought her a treadmill.”

…”has the biggest dick” or “is the biggest dick”…?

Democrats are not an orderly bunch. We don’t automatically support whoever seems to be next in line. Many think Hillary has too much baggage AND is far too cozy with Wall Street. And not progressive enough. Hence the rise of Bernie Sanders, who this poster has financially supported to help make his message part of the discussion. But have no doubt: Democrats will coalesce around the party’s nominee when the time comes. There is no way we allow a Republican to roll back the progress we have made as a country.

Shows you how deep the democrats are in 2016, they are in real trouble. Now that we have established how much character Hillary has; NONE.

Did FITS-Nation just climax in unison, or was that loud boom the Global Warming you’ve been declaring for 40 years, manifesting in the planet blowing up.

Either way, y’all gettin’ off. (:
