2008 Will Al Gore Run, or will Al Gore run?
Author Al Cohen asks Can Al Gore Be Trusted?
The real question is: when the Republicans try to steal the election again - remember it worked pretty well for them in 2000 and 2004 - will he fight for the victory the American people might give him?
In a recent interview on NPR, he stated (paraphrased) that there was nothing to do between the Supreme Court handing the election to George Bush, and violent insurrection.
Not true, Al. Not true at all.
We have seen in eastern Europe in the late 1980's, in the Ukraine recently, and also in Mexico. When there is election fraud, you take to the streets. Get everyone, and I mean everyone, to come out in support of a legal and acccurately counted election. Governments quickly bend to the peoples will when millions of them are in the streets demanding justice.
So the next time the kleptocratic Republican party tries to steal the election - tell your supporters that justice is larger than crooked vote counters, party operatives, and a cowardly Supreme Court.
We Greens fought for election justice in Ohio in 2004, suing and paying for a recount that uncovered clear evidence of stunning election fraud. Kerry stood by with his millions of dollars and hundreds of lawyers, and did nothing.
Will Mr. Gore do the same? If you run in 2008 Mr. Gore, good luck to you, but do not betray the American people again.
