Do presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush have royal connections? Buckingham Palace politely declined to comment.

When it comes to picking the winner in the American presidential race, Britain's leading chroniclers of royal ancestors say they've never been wrong - not once in almost 200 years. Based on facts gleaned from the old scrolls and dusty archives of Burke's Peerage - researchers of royal bloodlines since 1826 - the Brits wager it will be Texas Gov. George W. Bush. "The presidential candidate with the most royal genes and chromosomes has, up to now, always won the White House," say the researchers at Burke's Peerage. They say Bush's blue blood runs thicker than Vice President Al Gore's. In fact it trumps the royal ties of every other President to date, including his father's. It seems George W. has inherited his mother's deep blue blood-line.

Al's Family Hardly Peasants
Gore's family members weren't exactly peasants. The vice president's family tree includes Charlemagne and three Holy Roman emperors. And a good fight wouldn't frighten the vice president's most famous ancestor, England's Edward I - best known today as the king who defeated, then executed Braveheart. Edward was also said to be very popular with the ladies. His descendent, Al Gore certainly won the hearts of many American ladies with "that kiss" he publicly planted on wife Tipper. Although Gore is running a bit behind Bush in the European royal count, his blood-line runs close to some American home-grown nobility, including Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Boone, and "Buffalo Bill" Cody.

Buckingham Palace politely declined to comment on the recorded royal connections of either candidate. "This sort of thing happens every time there's an American Presidential Election," scoffed one palace official. But if the Burke's Peerage prediction has its doubters, the company doesn't hesitate to defend its crowning legacy. "You can't just write off 200 years of accurate predictions," says Brooks-Baker pointing out Mike Dukakis learned about the "royal factor" the hard way. The 1988 Democratic nominee and son of Greek immigrants had no connections to any European thrones, and he lost in a landslide.

Christians shouldn't be.

After all they believe we all came from one man and one woman.

I however found it shocking when I found it out.

to play devil's advocate, can't they connect everybody to someone else if they go far back enough in time or far out enough with families.

I found it shocking like 2 months ago when I researched this subject. Therefore, your logic about Christianity fails. Second thing, why do you generalize every Christian? That is like saying every Atheist is a fat slob science geek.

Back to topic, I do find it interesting that most of these presidents and the queen could be traced back to, I believe, Henry IV.

If you think about it, both creationism and evolution would mean we would have had to come from 1 source. Whether it be Adam and Eve or tiny microbial bacteria, we came from the same species.

No I dont find it at all surprising. It just goes to show that money, power & nepotism go hand in hand in America, just the same as anywhere else.
Shame about those poor old Romanovs, eh?

I challenge the correctness of these claims. The video says "these people are related". How about some evidence? You can't just claim two people are related and leave it at that. Outrageous claims require an outrageous degree of evidence. However, this Youtube video offers zero evidence. Big claims and non-existent evidence... it is just guesswork! The only think I won't dispute is that George Bush Jr is related to George Bush Sr. There is no reason to believe the others are related as described in the Youtube video that I know of.

But lets get to a bigger point. There are at least 50 million people in the pool of elegible people to be US president. Yet the pool does seem to be limited to about 1,000 people. But I view the pool to be primarily US senators and entertainment industry celebrities rather than blood relatives. I find the fact people who work in the entertainment industry to be considered better fit for politics than those familiar with the scientific method as far more offensive than the notion of blood relatives are being selected. In fact, blood-line selection isn't really all that bad because you're basically getting random people into power using that method. What happens when joe on the street wins the bloodline lottery and gets put in charge of things? GW Bush... you're average joe six-pack.

I imagine this sort of ridiculousness is found everywhere in the world, and I blame it on the people in general. I mean they do have votes and there are a lot more of them than this puny little pool of elites. Yet they do nothing. So our only hope for the future is to change the people rather than complaining to the elites. Revolution to me means educating the people on common sense ways of doing things like selecting good leaders. So if humanity ever starts selecting people because they have strong integrity combined with knowledge of the scientific method then they may have something. Until then humanity will be somewhat in the gutter.

So, you think, the News channels and the websites mentioned have completely made this up?

I do not know what country you hail from.
I am an American. This country is more in the gutter than it was fifty years ago. Cause for concern IMO.
What I find interesting is that the blood lines of America's appointed high officials needs more scrutiny than the elected.
When you understand the appointed, then you can begin to reason the motive of the elected and match it to time lines.
