Earlier today on Good Morning America, Virgin CEO Richard Branson, who yesterday pledged $3 billion to invest in alternative energy to combat global warming, appeared alongside Al Gore. Branson explained that he was once a global warming skeptic, but after meeting with scientists, reading books, and talking over breakfast with Gore, he became “convinced that the world has a real serious problem.â€
Gore praised Branson for having the “guts†to show such “courage and leaderhip†on the issue.

Yep. Gore rode in to town on an electric turnip truck. Maybe they rode out of town in the HOV lane together(he and Branson). I wonder what the green beans think that they are going to power all of those turnip and watermelon trucks they come and go in on?? Im sure that reading books kept Branson confused. Im sure that talking to scientists kept him skeptical in light of the evidence of volcanic gas emmited into the atmosphere for the last 10,000 years. But the breakfast with Gore did him in. Breakfast with Gore made the difference for him. Breakfast with Gore taught him everthing he needed to know about global warming, toxic emmissions, and gasoline………….Breakfast with GORE !!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Well, seems to me that the more people that dont have ‘breakfast with Gore’ the better the world would be then. ha ha ha ha ha ha Buck out!!!

300 billion dollars from the people who support him. He just wrote a book about what they believed. He dumbly thinks what he wrote is so. He is smart enough to make money off of people who think the same thing. 300 billion dollars worth of green bean hoot owl stupidity.
Im sure he will take some of that money and buy solar powerd turnip trucks to give all the investors and financers of the absolute stupidity a way around. Al Gore takes that fortune to make more people stupid. The more books he sells, the more stupid people there will be. The more stupid anti-war green beans that there are the more stupid books to be sold. On and on like green bean enviro-crack……ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Run for the hills………….ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha …Buck out…..

Please tell me ONE book you’ve read lately. I asked you that question before, I even recommended books to you, but you’ve never cleared that up. Since you claim to be so knowledgeable about foreign policy, name the last 5 books you’ve read.
You never cite a source. You appear to be a fraud.

Gore was the VP of the US and Branson the founder of Virgin Airlines and assorted enterprises.
What have you done lately to create jobs Buck? Eat at McDonalds and shop at Wal Mart?

You think that Gore is that smart? I am sorry. Really. You are saying that the man who said on TV that HE invented the internet and didn’t know who George Washington was is that smart. I got dogs smarter than that jackass. He talks about the greenhouse effect and can’t prove a thing. There isn’t a person alive who can prove their greenhouse theroy, that’s because that’s all it is a THEROY. He is not the rightful President and never will be. He is nothing but a Tree hugging, ass kissing, liberial, enviormentalist. Get over it. He is smart for dupping enough people to get 300 million bucks but that is it. Ripple said there’s a sucker born every minute and I think I found another one today. Sorry LA

OK it looks like we got another kool aid drinker on here. One more time: Al Gore never claimed he invented the internet. That was lie spread by teh right win. You show me the quote from Gore. Another Kill happy murderer that joined the Army and beleives every lie those asshole tell him.

Actually, what Gore said was “I took the initiative in inventing the interenet” on, I think it was the Today Show. I’ve seen the clip several times.
