Godfather II: Gore Makes Dean an Offer

Don Corleone would fit right in as Democratic Party boss.

Maybe Saddam's capture changes the dynamics of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. But I doubt it. Change of direction is not something that comes easily to this party anymore. Al Gore's grandly public endorsement of Howard Dean last week confirms my view that the easiest way to understand the Democratic Party today is by watching "The Godfather."

Kucinich is Fredo?

Mr. Gore will either win this struggle for control, or retire to Vegas to run a talk show.

Mr. Gore will either win this struggle for control, or retire to Vegas to run a talk show get beaten to death and buried in an Indiana cornfield like Tony Spilotro.

...oops, my bad.

Michael Savage has been calling our former V.P. Al Goreleone

NEVER FORGET


This was the WEEK THAT WAS:

GORE says BUSH was wrong in the Iraq War.

BUSH proves GORE wrong by capturing SADDAM in Iraq.

Case closed from GORE's own Lips.


NEVER FORGET

To compare the hoods in the Democrat party to the Mafia, is laughable!
They're more like the "gang who couldn't shoot straight"....the criminal equivalent of the Keystone Kops.

Semper Fi

Funny how Gore got all Gutsy
and then Saddam was caught....

[Joy Angela]

Great Article.

Gore did eclipse Clinton in the Ballot box
where he won more % of the votes then Bill
ever did.

Maybe that's why Hillary
hates Gores' guts.

And that's why Gore feels confident
in giving the Clintons' the finger.

>>They're more like the "gang who couldn't shoot straight"....the criminal equivalent of the Keystone Kops.<<

Tell that to Ron Brown
and Vince Foster.

[Political Junkie Too]

If you are willing to think in these terms, much of what is going on in the Democratic Party begins to be understandable. It has power, and it bestows benefits. President Bush is not someone waging a war on global terror, but is simply a man who is a threat to them, and the system through which they bestow benefits and therefore survive.

This one paragraph is the essence of the Democrat party.

Hell, don't give them too much credit for that!
Even a broken clock, is right twice a day...every day!
Semper Fi

[Joy Angela]

Brown and Foster were probably ready
to blow the lid off the Clinton-Corruption.

What they knew
We will never know.

I agree with the article.

The Democrats are acting like the Mafia.

And the Clintons are acting like the Lead-Don.

[reg45]

To compare the hoods in the Democrat party to the Mafia is an insult to the Mafia.

"...the system through which they bestow benefits and therefore survive."

Bestow is key here; democrats bestow to other democrats not to Americans or America...this is why they will loose yet again, that and the legacy of Clinton slime and crime.

Ditto. Bump. GMTA.
