They Must Be Doing Something Right

There are few politicians that I absolutely cannot stand. Al Gore is one of them. So, if he's mad about the fillibuster then the Republicans must be doing something right. Consider the crux of Gore's argument:

"What makes it so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our American democracy in order to satisfy their lust for one-party domination of all three branches of government," Gore said of the GOP in a speech. "They seek nothing less than absolute power."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Democrats dream of having the same power? Isn't the contest of politics about being the more powerful? Sure, we're a country that values the minority, but if the people put you in power...

What Gore is really saying is that the Republicans should not be utlizing the power that they have rightly gained through the elected process. Only Democrats should be able to use that power. But then, Gore spends half the speech still bemoaning the 2000 and 2004 elections. Remember, the Republicans stole the election with some mythical power that they alone have the rights to. So, here's to hoping that he keeps up on that track. Then he'll never have power again. And there could be little sweeter then never having to see Al Gore in a government position again.
