To here the mainstreamers tell it, Gore has already won the nomination...for President of the good ol' USA, let alone the Democrat Party nomination. Does that mean we get another Liar-in-Chief? And to hear it on CNN (I just heard it, eh?), Bradley, that other Mr. Bill (and I used to be a Knicks fan!), wants his "people" (er, delegates pledged to him, I suppose) to "throw their weight" behind Gore. (Does that mean all that force gets Mr. Al pushed off a cliff?) Gore responds something like: "Mr. Bradley is a good man...and now it's time to put the election process back into the hands of the American people." Sorry I couldn't remember his exact words. I was too busy puking! Now I'm laughing about it, of course. Then you have CNNs coverage of some McCain worker saying his boy will "probably drop out" but we don't know if he will put the "weight" of his 200 or so delegates behind, or for that matter, in front or beside, Bush. Dubya, as they say here in Texas. Does anyone think he could, after all those things he said about W. being anti-Catholic and all that? Further, do you think the "old" and "new" media will ever get over that Bob Jones University nonsense? Heck, Lew Rockwell.com, those libertarian folks, is STILL prattling on about it! It is obvious why Gore trounced Bradley. It's because the media hardly paid Dollar Bill any attention, and Gore is the "incumbent" after all (but will Mr. "Earth-in-the-Balance" get the Green vote after it has been exposed, on sites like WorldNetDaily, that Gore is beholden to the likes of Exxon--of Exxon Valdez fame...you know, THOSE polluters? Honestly, Gore really is even more of a hypocrite than Clinton!). Obversely, the media loved Big Bad John "Bomb Serbia back to the Stone Age" McCain...but that didn't stop the guy from losing Super Tuesday. CNN and the like claim it was because McCain couldn't garner enough "cross-over" (liberal Dems who voted in the Republican primaries in some states) votes to beat out the "Conservative Christians" who picked Dubya "Mr. BJU" Bush. McCain only won in New England, that rip-snortin' liberal heartland. To hear them tell it, conservative New Yorkers (mostly upstaters, no doubt-- Ha!) didn't like all that negative stuff and the Catholics there didn't completely fall for that "anti-Catholic" Bush stuff. All of which--if one can remember back to 1996, when the Republicans put up in the primaries a so-called conservative and a "liberal" Republican, none of which could have a prayer of beating Clinton--makes this election year no different.
