Albert Gore, Jr, whom reporters, election experts and counters have
revealed won Florida and the election of 2000, has a new reason to
celebrate. He has won the Nobel Peace Prize, a victory that was
no surprise to anyone. Al Gore recently received an Academy Award
for his movie
An Inconvenient Truth.
In 2000, Al Gore won both the popular and correctly counted
electoral vote. The Supreme Court stopped the counting of the
votes in what most call an act of treason against the United States of
America. The counting was stopped on December 9th and the
decision considered treasonous was issue on December 12, 2000.
The five justices (or injustices as they became known) who threw out
the rule of the Constitution that night were William Rehnquist, Antonin
Scalia, Sandra Day O'Connor, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy.
No justice has ever been impeached or prosecuted for
this act of treason. Americans are sill waiting.
In 2001, members of the House stood up in opposition to the seating of
the electors of the losing candidate George W. Bush. Not one
member of the U.S. Senate was willing to stand up for the the voters
of the United States of America. Some current Presidential
candidates, such as John Edwards, were silent and allowed the
government to be taken over in the 2000 coup.
In 2002, Americans were prepared to elect Al Gore once again. On
December 15, 2002, the day after hosting a Saturday Night Live episode
that appeared to be preparation for a 2004 Presidential bid, Al Gore
announced he would not be running for President. Americans,
confident of his victory in 2004, were shocked. Bush undoubtedly
breathed a sigh of relief. Americans asked who got to him.
Was he pressured not to run? Did he just enjoy his leisure time
and popularity more than governing?
In 2004, John Kerry and John Edwards, lacking the courage of Gore,
didn't even try to have the votes counted before quitting.
Al Gore's name now gets added to the ranks of Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow
Wilson and Jimmy Carter, elected Presidents who have won the Nobel
Peace Prize. Unlike the others on this list, Al Gore is an
elected
President who never took office. To most Americans, Al Gore's
chapter in American history remains unfinished and full of
questions. What is the real reason he doesn't want to be
President?
One legacy of the Gore non-seated Presidency is that Americans woke up
and started doing research. This research has resulted in a split
between those who want to back candidates considered well known (such
as Clinton, Obama and Edwards) and those who want the best of
candidates to become President. Most of those backing Clinton,
Edwards and Obama will readily admit that Dennis Kucinich would make a
better President. Al Gore's recent rhetoric regarding the war and
the Patriot Act (which has been supported by all current Presidential
candidates except one) makes people wonder if he is silently hoping
Dennis Kucinich will win the Presidency. Next year,
Americans will see if Gore's calculated risk in staying out of the race
results in the Democrats nominating Clinton or Kucinich.
