Gore Says He Will Not Run In 2008

The AP is reporting that Al Gore has stated his intention NOT to run for President.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would be "a different country" if he had won the 2000 election, launching into a scathing attack of the Bush administration.

I see ashes and smoltering cinders. That's what the country would look like.

When asked how the United States would have been different if he had become president, though, he had harsh criticism for Bush's policies.

"We would not have invaded a country that didn't attack us," he said, referring to Iraq. "We would not have taken money from the working families and given it to the most wealthy families."

"We would not be trying to control and intimidate the news media. We would not be routinely torturing people," Gore said. "We would be a different country."

Gore did not elaborate. But last year, he blamed Bush administration policies for the inmate abuse scandal at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Psst. Al.

The question was , how would the country be different if you were President? It wasn't, what do you think of George Bush's administration? You've already answered that 50 million times in the last five years.

For all of you that are wondering why the left hates the President so much, here you have the primary reason. Al Gore and those that supported him in 2000 have spent the last five years conducting the biggest sour grapes campaign designed to do nothing but demonize the President. Like the bitter sounding Al, they offer no ideas, they offer no solutions, and above all they cannot communicate any resemblance of a vision.

They can't answer the simplest of questions without criticizing. Nothing positive about what they can do, they only have negative assessments. Everything is wrong and George Bush cannot do anything right. Not one damned thing. Zero.

It's why they lose so much.

But, to be honest with you, I am saddened. I was looking forward to an Al vs. Hillary showdown in the primaries. But with Ted Kennedy's resounding endorsement of John Kerry today, it may be fun, yet.

Angry elitist, snob vs. angry woman that tries to hide it under a centrist cloak. That's a fight, we all shall watch with interest.
