Election 2004 All Stars Political Playing Cards - Green Deck
Description
This deck utilizes plenty of biting satire to parody a varying array of senators, congressmen, flaks, flakes, and presidential wannabe's? All of whom are liberal, most of whom are Democrats. We begin with the French-Looking Candidate himself, ready, willing, and able to take on all challengers? Except those who dare “attack” his voting record because, well, that's mean! Kerry's veep choice, John Edwards, is a hero of the working-man. And let's not forget that Dennis Kucinich might still be in the race for the White House. You'll forgive him, though, for being easily distracted by the flow of traffic. His is a Reagan-esque vision of America -- well, sort of. And it appears that poor Dick Gephardt is still smarting over the Iowa caucus results. If he would have just let Howard Dean be Howard Dean, Little Dick might still be in the running. And speaking of running, it looks as though Sheila Jackson Lee is about to wreak some serious havoc on her home state of Texas! Elsewhere in the Congressional Black Caucus, Maxine Waters is teaching the next generation of voters just what it means to be a loyal constituent. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, Barbara Boxer and “her people” proudly proclaim their enthusiastic support for partial-life abortions. And while we're in San Francisco, it appears as though Barney Frank has made a special trip to the City-by-the-Bay to lay down the guantlet on gay marriage. Ominous indeed! And, for Pete's sake, don't get Henry Waxman started on Halliburton! And let's not forget the Get-Out-The-Vote-ers! MoveOn.org's Joan Blades prefers to appeal directly to the heart of the Democrat base. But she's a rank amateur when compared to the Democratic National Committee's Terry McAuliffe, a seasoned, professional panderer! And lest you think the Bush League All Stars unfairly targets only Democrats, may we present to you the scourge of the Republican party and leading authority on Scottish law, one Senator Arlen Specter.
This deck comes in the "deluxe" size of 2-3/4 x 3-7/8 and is great for most card games. The extra size allows you to enjoy the wonderful artwork and biting satire without needing a microscope.
NEWT'S 'SOLITAIRE' THOUGHTS: Collectors will love adding this deck to their collection! Die hard conservatives will love laughing at the parody.

What is the Difference between Bridge and Poker Sized Playing Cards?
Often times the size of a playing card is referred to as a "narrow" or "wide" deck of cards. While the narrow/bridge decks (2-1/4" x 3-1/2") are called "bridge" size, the wide/poker decks (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") are called "poker" sized.
FACT: BOTH sizes are usable for any normal card game as they are really just normal decks that are a different width. So it really doesn't make any difference which size deck you choose.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It is said that the bridge sized decks were made for the "ladies" so that it was easier to hold.
- Often times the bridge or narrow sized decks do make it easier to hold more cards in your hand.
- In the U.S. the "poker" sized are considered the "normal" size.
- In pretty much the rest of the world, the "bridge" sized cards are considered the "normal" size.
Again, please remember that you can use the "bridge" or "poker" sized decks for pretty much any card game. The only difference is one is a 1/4" narrower than the other.
Other Sizes...
Some times we offer various other "sizes" of playing cards. They may be "enlarged" or larger than normal decks or they may also be smaller than normal decks.
Another varience on the "size" would be what we call "shaped" cards. The shaped cards have taken various shapes over the years and change in popularity. They do offer a nice change of pace to a normal deck of cards.
