Render unto me a break. When Gore senior was on senate committees it was
know that a bill couldn't be considered unless the supplicant attended
an auction at his ranch. Fore senior would regularly evince amazement
that bulls could be sold for so much.

However the real funding for Gore junior's campaign comes from Armand
Hammer (I.e oil money) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (I.E nuclear
power).

Gore was groomed from childhood to be President.
