Al Gore, Please Reconsider Running for President in 2008

Today, Al Gore announced that he has "absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again." The liberal blogosphere has recently been rumbling with rumors of a Gore candidacy for the 2008 presidential race.

Reports AP, via Yahoo News, "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."

Al, are you sure? What if we draft you to run in 2008?

We still need a president who won't initiate invasions of other countries....who understands that torture is wrong....who doesn't rob from the poor to give more to the super-rich....who doesn't squelch the democratic freedom of the press every chance he gets...who understands and cares about the catastropic dangers of global warming. We need decency, keen intellect and deep experience.

Many believe that you would be a splendid presidential candidate in 2008, Mr. Gore. Please ponder it a bit longer...OK? Your country truly needs you now.
