Gore claims his daddy, Algore the senior lost his seat after being for civil rights. Funny he couldn't eat with the blacks. GORE'S NANNY CHARGES: I WAS KEPT IN CAR WHILE GORES ATE AT 'WHITES ONLY' RESTAURANT! "Our parents said to work for good white folks -- and that's what we did!" Those are the shocking words of Mattie Lucy Payne, 89, housekeeper and nanny to the Gores of Tenneessee. For more than 30 years, Payne cleaned house and cooked for the Gores on their 250-acre farm in Carthage. It was on this farm where Payne helped raise Al Gore Jr. During this period, Payne fought to overcome firmly established social boundries in the South. On some occasions the Gores would take Payne on trips to Washington, where Al Sr. was Senator. On those rides, Payne recalls being kept in the backseat of the car -- as the Gore family dined in 'Whites Only' restaurants! Payne says she complained bitterly about the high temperatures in the car while she waited. "Albert Jr. would bring out a sandwich to the car because I was not allowed in the restaurant," Mattie Lucy Payne told a local reporter. "We didn't know any better, that's the way we grew up." Mattie was very close to the Gores. And Al Jr's mother, Pauline, expressed her appreciation: "Mattie Lucy is a very special person... She always knew the kind of meals everyone liked... We think of Mattie as 'one of the family.'" Pauline Gore even featured Mattie Lucy's recipe for "Farmer in the Dell Chicken" in her published cookbook. Payne recalls: "When Al Jr. was in college he would come home for the weekend and bring friends. He would say, 'Mattie, fix several different dishes, some greens from the garden.'" Payne's stunning claims are featured in the new book DRUDGE MANIFESTO, released October 3, 2000 by NEW AMERICAN LIBRARY. Throughout the years, many of Payne's relatives worked on the Gore farm: "I remember Mrs. Gore saying, 'If they are kin to Mattie Lucy they can come to work,'" Payne recounts for the CURRENT LINES of Upper Cumberland. And Payne watched as the Gore family groomed Al Jr. for high office. "Mr. Albert had it in his mind that Al would be in the White House." But Payne's role in the Gore family history has been diminished in recent years. "Segregation in the South is one those chapters from long ago and far away that is just not spoken about," said a family friend. "The Gores love Mattie Payne and 'whites only' is a thing of the past. Mattie knows in her heart that the vice president has helped make it that way."

The Gore and Leiberman ticket have shown great restraint by not dragging up some of those facts. Most Republicans would just laugh it all off as another attempt by the "liberal media" to destroy Bush. The Bush's are priviledged individuals. Shrub didn't earn his nomination, he was the annointed prince. It amazes me that the Republican hierarchy believes they can elect someone with ties to Hitler. Scary

From 1924 to 1936, Bush's bank invested heavily in Nazi Germany, selling $50 million of German bonds to American investors. Hitler did not take power until 1932......

In 1934, a congressional investigation believed that Walker's Hamburg-America Line subsidized a wide range of pro-Nazi efforts in both Germany and the United States. One of Walker's employees, Dan Harkins, delivered testimony to Congressional leaders regarding Walker's Nazi sympathies and business transactions. According to US Government Vesting Order No. 248, many of Union Banking's assets had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had been used to support the German war effort. The way this runs together it seems to be saying that Walker was supporting the German war effort in 1934. War did not break out until 1939......
