It's time for them to go
Dare I feel the hope I felt oh, so many years ago?

http://www.al-gore-2004.org/gorespeeches/1992convention.htm

GORE: We've seen our better days. They even say we're history. The cynics are having a field day, because across this country millions of American families have been betrayed by a government out of touch with our values and beholden to the privileged few. Millions of people are loosing faith in the very idea of democracy and are even in danger of loosing heart because they fear their lives may no longer have any deeper meaning or purpose.

But you can't kill hope that easily. Not in America. Not here, where a cynic is just a disappointed idealist in disguise, a dreamer yearning to dream again. In every American, no matter how badly betrayed or how poorly led, there is always hope. Even now, if you listen you can hear the pulse of America's true spirit. No, the American spirit isn't gone. But we vow here tonight, that in November, George Bush and Dan Quayle will be history.

They have demeaned our democracy with the politics of distraction, denial and despair. What time is it?

CROWD: It's time for them to go!

GORE: What time is it??

CROWD: It's time for them to go!!

GORE: What time is it???

CROWD: It's time for them to go!!!

(CROWD CHEERS)

GORE: The American people - -

CROWD: Gore, Gore, Gore, Gore!!

GORE: The American people are disgusted with excuses and tired of blame. They know that throughout American history each generation has passed on leadership to the next. That time has come again, the time for a new generation of leadership for the United States of America, to take over from George Bush and Dan Quayle, and you know what that means for them!

GORE AND CROWD: It's time for them to go!!!!

(CROWD CHEERS)

1. It is time for them to go.
Gore was just before his time. Today, it's more than just we Democrats who feel that way about the GOP. That's why they're getting kicked out.
