Boo! He's on the phone making calls for MoveOn.org to energize THE PEOPLE...
Edited on Wed Nov-15-06 10:54 PM by IndyOp
That's RIIIIIGHT...

James Carville's worst nightmare...

Hillary Clinton's match (as in she's met her match fo' sure)...

The man who Bill Clinton said SHOULD be President... sent little old me ( :) ) the following email just a few days before the election:

MoveOn has put together an outstanding program—bringing together tens of thousands of volunteers with cutting edge technology to get Democrats who might not otherwise vote to the polls. You can join the effort from anywhere—all you need is a phone and a computer.

This morning, I joined the team and made some calls. It was easy. I'm writing to personally ask you to join the team too. Can you make some calls this weekend?

I know it's easy to feel like your calls will be drops in a political ocean. I'm here to tell you that they're not. I know a thing or two about close races where a few hundred "drops" make all the difference. And the margins in many of these races are even closer. You could personally turn out the voter who tips the balance.

Why should you pick up the phone?

Do it because the ice is melting in the Arctic, in Greenland and all over the world, and unless we take on the climate crisis soon, we could cross a point of no return.

Do it because the war in Iraq is a disaster, and our brave men and women who are fighting and dying there need an honorable and speedy path home.

Do it because in the wealthiest nation in the world, there are millions of kids who can't go the doctor when they get sick because they don't have health care.

Do it because President Bush and this Congress have chipped away at our fundamental rights—rights guaranteed every citizen—that make our country a beacon of freedom. Do it because our government shouldn't be able to wire-tap innocent citizens without a warrant.

Do it because of Abu Ghraib. Do it to tell the world that America won't sanction torture—and we fire the politicians who do. That's the real no-brainer.

Do it because five years after September 11th, President Bush and the Republican Congress have made us all less safe.

But most of all, do it because the country we all love needs our help. Our democracy is in trouble. America needs you. And in these next four days, you can come to her aid.Text




Carville & H. Clinton SHOULD be afraid, because Al Gore understands the issues that matter; because Al Gore will talk to us - not down at us; because Al Gore knows that he must trust us to lead the way toward a new world; because Al Gore is operating unselfishly, from his soul, and people can feel that from many, many miles away.

2. And MY President (the first one; the other is President Kerry).
We need to ban together and stop the Hillary/Carville cartel in it's tracks.

5. I don't think the hair implants have grown in nicely -
he still has a big bald spot in the back, which you can see in the move "Inconvenient Truth".

Other than his hair, what don't you like about Al?

Do you have someone else you prefer?

Or do you go for someone like Obama - who is handsome, all-on-the-surface?

:shrug:

15. The bald spot is gone. Those images were from 2001 and earlier.
I remember seeing the bald spot all throughout the 2000 campaign - but not anymore.

Since I've seen his hair blow around since then, I'm convinced it's not a rug - either implants or Rogaine or something.

But my opinion of politicians is not significantly affected by their desire to have hair.

13. The guy was majorly balding in the 90s. Now he's got hair. People commented...
on Kerry's botox/collagen, Liddy Doles's scary facelifts, Biden's hair transplants, etc.

Lighten up gang.

14. I don't think Al is doin' any
vanity trips right now. His baldness is on his crown. Sorry, if I over-reacted.

16. I have never seen a computer tilted like that. It looks like it could
be ergonomically safer for the wrist. Does anyone else have a computer set up like that?
