Gore To Deliver Speech Critical Of BushHitlerBurton Policies

Where's that pic of Fire Breathing Al?

Former and still bitter Vice President Al Gore will deliver a major address Monday on the threat posed by policies of the Bush Administration to the Constitution and the checks and balances it created. The speech will specifically point to domestic wiretapping and torture as examples of the administration's efforts to extend executive power beyond Congressional direction and judicial review.

The Vice President (no bias here, really) will make the case that the country -- including the legislative and judicial branches and all Americans -- must act now to defend the systems put into place by the country's founders to curb executive power or risk permanent and irreversible damage to the Constitution.
Lemme guess, the main subject will be the NSA / FISA 'controversy', which wasn't a problem under your administration, was it, Mr. Gore? Side dish of Gitmo, coming up!
The extent of bipartisan concern over these issues is highlighted by former Republican Rep. Bob Barr's introduction of the Vice President next Wednesday, and by the organizations cosponsoring the speech.
That's hilarious - one former Republican congressman's mentioned and they label it a 'bipartisan concern'. What balls they have...
The Liberty Coalition brings together ideologically diverse organizations across the political spectrum, including liberal and conservative groups, to preserve the Bill of Rights, personal autonomy and individual privacy.
Um, care to mention any of the organizations, or is this Double Secret Probation time until the speech (looks like it's a RSVP only teleconference - details at bottom of article for you wedding crasher types).
The American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS) is one of the nation's leading liberal progressive legal organizations. Founded in 2001, ACS works to ensure that President Bush is to blame for everything the fundamental principles of human dignity, individual rights and liberties, quotas genuine equality, and truckloads of liberal judges access to justice are in their rightful, central place in American law.

#16  Why does Gore look like he's ready to take a load from Peter North?

#11  "He had all the ducks set up [...] and he blew it."

Any sane, normal, non-moonbat human in Algore's shoes, in those circumstances, would've garnered at least 55% of the vote, possibly close to 60%.

That he didn't, and that I (a Democrat myself at the time) would've crawled over broken glass and through machine-gun fire to vote against him, is entirely due to his being an absolute Roaring Asshole.

I don't even wanna think about what kind of a fix we'd be in now if he'd been elected President.

#10  possibly the most bitter man in America. He had all the ducks set up, economy seemingly high (.com bubble wasn't biting yet), terorists had been bought off by admin inaction except for a couple cruise missiles....and he blew it. At least Kerry had a totally dislikeable personality to blame....uh..scratch that edge

#5  Gorebot and his ilk sure did not seem to be too concerned with the Constitution at Waco and Ruby Ridge : lied to get a drug warrant to use the military at Waco; and went through a whole bunch of Fed sniper teams until they found the one that would agree to abide by what the Justice Dept. finally admitted where illegal shoot-to-kill orders on visually-confirmed unarmed civilians.

#4   "...to preserve the Bill of Rights..."

Are they working hard to defend the Second Amendment ?
Are they ?
Last time I checked the Democutandruns were trying to make it null and void in every possibile way, at local, State and Federal level.
