Al Gore -- Candidate

With the release of his global warming book and now the movie "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore has become the Democratic candidate for president in 2008.

Makes no difference whether he wants it or not.

Gore takes no prisoners in proving that the silly notion that global warming is "not a serious problem," eagerly promoted by right-wing greedheads, is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, concocted by sellout scientists who are also whores for the energy industry, particularly Exxon-Mobil.

For a good example of this, see the notoriously corrupted Idso brothers.

Gore's refusal to soft-pedal the truth puts him at odds with most of the Democratic "mainstream," and that's a good thing. The progressive wing of the party may not have the power to dictate a candidate, but we do have enough clout to veto anyone who's unacceptable.

A perfect example of unacceptable is Hillary Clinton, currently busy triangulating her silly ass off, attempting to accommodate the halfwit wing of the conservative movement by taking a courageous stand against flag burning.

Flag burning is the original non-issue, a "hot-button" mindless grunt, designed to distract ordinary people from reflecting on the fact that they're getting screwed by the war, the tax code, and environmental degradation brought on them by big money, i.e., the corporate monster.

Gore called the Iraq War right six months before it started. He'll brush aside the stupid "wedge issues" such as gay marriage and prayer in the schools and concentrate on addressing what's really wrong: who's getting screwed and who's doing the screwing.

Most important, he'll have a plan. He always does.

In the end the Democrats will turn to him, because there is nobody else.
