You're all goin' ta Hell!!
Sin. Sin, Sin. You're all sinners. You're all doomed to perdition. You're all goin' to the painful, stinkin', scaldin', everlastin' tortures of a fiery hell, created by God for sinners, unless, unless, unless you repent.
Is this Al Gore or Elmer Gantry?
This has become a sad spectator sport, watching the complete dissolution of this man who was once one of my favorite Democrats. This is truly the portrait of a man on the brink, if indeed he has not already plunged over it. Howard Dean is beginning to look like Gerald Ford by comparison.
Al Gore's stiff jokes are gone now, replaced by recount jokes. The cautious campaigner of 2000 is gone, too, replaced by a fire-breathing Bush basher.When Gore delivered his latest-in-a-series slam at the Republicans last week, faulting Vice President Dick Cheney for "sleazy and despicable" criticism of the Democrats, a White House spokesman dismissively responded: "Consider the source."
...
Republicans... say Gore's passion on the campaign path has reached an unhealthy fever pitch that could do Democrats more harm than good.GOP strategist Keith Appell likens him to "some kind of cheerleader on acid."
"Some of the things he has said have been outrageous and he says them in this high-pitched scream," Appell said. "I really don't know what to call that."
The more I think of it, Hazel Motes sounds more apt than Elmer Gantry.

Sad. I feel sorry for the guy. Losing the election by that little opens the door for endless second-guessing: if I'd only done this, if I hadn't done that. If any number of variables had been slightly different he'd be sitting in the oval office today. It's obviously eating away at him. I wonder if he will ever find peace.

I thank God that he isn't President. If he would have had to deal with 911, where would we be now?

Where's your photo of Zell Miller, who thinks that running an opposition campaing in an election year is an "obsession with taking down a sitting president?"

Righteous anger against what Bush is doing to our country is what I see.

Yes, you should include a photo of Zell Miller. And also one of Howard Dean. All Democrats.
