#1 The man is right. Democracy is under attack, by the American and transnational left.

#2 Sheezzz -- but you gotta agree with him on this, "the only thing that matters in American politics now is having enough money to put 30-second commercials on air to persuade the voters to elect or re-elect you."

Not sure how gobal warming fits into this.... but we can dream at the next Democrat meeting he attends, he will repeat these words to his party members. Well, I can dream, right?

#4 Criticizing the very same future Communist-Stalinist-Totalitarian, etc. Amerika he + DemoLeft are trying to impose on America, eh. Thusly, all Americans = Amerikans can trust they won't be gulagged andor exterminated by the Motherly Commie Airborne = OWG/UNO Peacekeeping Force, where invading America = saving America from itself and "civil war". Fighting hard for those few reserved seats on the future Amerikan Politburo Commie Asia never promised them.

#7 The man is right. Democracy is under attack, by the American and transnational left.

Not to mention all the dictatorial mandates that will come if Gore gets his way on "global warming".

#8 Americas' success is down to the fact it is a republic built on the principle of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, not the disguised mob-rule of democracy.

He didn't even understand the job he was running for.

#12 "There's a feeling in the US on the part of many that the way democracy operates today is very different from the system we learned about in school." Amen Al! Where I went to school, after the election the LOSER didn’t stick around for weeks trying to change the rules of the election and didn’t spend the next FIVE years telling everyone how great he would have been.

#13 I still get democracy and republic confused. The US is one, and the other is where everything would be based on polls....

#15 I blame George Bush for Al Gore's insanity.. If he had lost, Al wouldn't have lost his mind.

And Global warming.

#16 If only democracy WERE under attack. Hey al, you sh*t for brains-- We live in a representative Republic. Democracy is tyranny of the majority. Maybe you should listen to a quote by a man whose bathwater you're not worthy to drink:

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." ---Ben Franklin

#17 This guy's elevator doesn't go to the top floor. Go debate the Taliban or Hamas or Hezzballah Al. Jesse Jackson can help with the task. Wah. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

#18 
The former presidential candidate said television networks in the world’s biggest and most powerful democracies must do more to foster debate, which he said was crucial for democracy to flourish.
I can't top what Tim Blair said about this one: "He may have a point; after all, the last time Al Gore was involved in a series of debates, it resulted in the election of George W. Bush."

That's gonna leave a mark. :-D
