Dean needs help with anger, history.

[Dimsdale]

Dean is so keen on trashing Bush that he's blind to history and the "facts" of the current "war" on terror. So the author of the following would have you believe. Conveniently, there's no mention of PNAC and BushCo's adoption of its manifesto as policy. Whatever the Siministration accomplishes to defeat terrorism will be secondary to their pursuit of that policy, not their primary objective as put forth by Ferris' RNC talking point memo:

To achieve credibility, Dean needs help with anger, history.

I have a hard time taking Howard Dean seriously.    There was one moment on the day Saddam's capture was announced when Dean sounded gracious, almost statesmanlike. It made me actually want to check out his next day's foreign policy address.


However, after reading it (www.deanforamerica.com), I've decided that if it's a choice of Dean vs. the President next November, I'll vote for George W. Bush.

And, of course, he's used force when he thought it necessary - despite often overwhelming, and sometimes hysterical, opposition. Disagree with Bush or not, there is no question that he takes seriously his oath to protect the country and its people, will act resolutely on his convictions, and has put the world on notice that it's not business as usual on terrorism - all terrorism, not just what can be linked to Sept. 11.


We've yet to see if that resolve can translate into a sustainable democracy in Iraq, but for right now, if the choice is anger vs. resolve, I know which way I'll vote.

has been a good president and is preferable to anyone else is delusional.

4. Dems need more anger, not less...

..their perceived pussy-ness will NOT win elections. Neither will playing along with pResident Evil. They need to bash Bush's fucked policies at every microphone.

Right now, Sean Hannity is constantly quoting Joe Leiberman with the preface "I agree with Leiberman when he sez (insert Dean bash here)". Think THAT will help win elections?

NOBODY is going to vote for Bush 'Lite' or 'Decaf'. Dean is not a 'perfect' candidate (who is) but rhe Dem vs. Dem bashing has got to stop. Rove and his minions are cackling all the way to November with every anit-Dean post, commerical or comment from RW wingnut ...

7. Dean rhymes with mean

And it is obvious that is how the repuke hate machine will smear him. Gore rhymes with “bore” and pukers still go into fits of rage over Al’s stiffness and his sin of paying attention to details.

And as for the history smear, it just depends on who’s keeping the records
