Gore endorsement ploy for 2008 nom?
On MSNBC: Buchanan thinks this is Gore's way of getting back into politics.

If Dean wins, Gore might become secretary of state and set himself up for a presidential run in 2012.

If Dean loses, Gore sets himself up to to run from the left against Hillary for the nomination in 2008.

1. No - if Dean loses,
people will be able to blame Gore again for endorsing him so early.

he has *never* shown himself to be someone who would deliberately try to sink an election for his own benefit. if anything, he rolls over too easily, "for the good of the nation" or whatever. this speculation is 99.9% pure bullshit.

11. Long time, no see, enki!
Nice to have you back!

I agree, but this "specualtion" plays a very important purpose for the Busheviks.

Look up the psychological term "innoculation". Everything and I mean EVERYTHING that a Democrat stands for will be subjected to scrutiny for ulterior motives, told matter-of-factly as in "of course he's lying, we just need to figure out why".

Fox Reichspropaganda has fine tuned this brutal Nazi-like strategy and of course Corporate TV Pravda dances to it's Totalitarian Tune.

Now, for the Busheviks, Everything and I mean EVERYTHING, is treated exactly the opposite, in spite of the demonstarble evdience that Bunnpants* is the most grotesque liar ever to occupy the throImperial Palace, which used to be called the White House.

The method behind this "innoculation" (through endless repetition, natch) is that, after hearing this enought imes, the "inncoulation" is successful and the subject makes the "ulterior motives" leap on their own, while the reverse becoems true for Bunnypants* by contrast.

Ingeniously diabolical. As the Old American Republic studied the rise of Nazi Germany and Stalin when they formulated FCC regulations to prevent it from ever happening again, if there is even a Free World left 50 years from now they will have to study carefully the Fall of the Old American Republic and the rise of Imperial Amerika, for their Totalitarian infrastructure is brand new and desigend to take down Free Nations that protected themselves from the old Nazi model...

12. Oh yeah? Have you read what he did to stifle Gephardt?
There's very good evidence that he hurt Gep in terms of winning house seats as vp because he was his rival for the nomination in 2000. It's been years since I read about it but I believe that's about what it was. It could have possibly been before he was vp but I'm not sure.

He's definetly been a power hungry guy

If Clark loses, Gore sets himself up to to run from the left against Hillary for the nomination in 2008.
