If You Are A Dean Supporter Who Doesn't Attack Anyone - Don't Read This
I just want to address those who like to like to start stuff and bash my candidate.

This is between me and you.

So bring it on.

------------

People don't want Howard Dean as president.

YOU do.

That's fine. You'll go around the country, taking back America, 15% at a time. You'll get your delegates, you'll get your moment in the sun at the convention in Boston. You'll make John Kerry sure he knows who got him to where he is.

But you're not going to be the going to the White House.

I'm not saying this because I don't want it to happen. Unlike some of you who want my candidate to fail.

I'm saying it because that is the cold, hard, reality.

Dean spent two years cultivating a base of support, not just around the country and not just on the Internet, but in Iowa and New Hampshire.

He was preparing for the caucuses while John Kerry and John Edwards were grappling with the issue of Iraq.

He was funneling in money and bandwagon jumping political endorsements.

He was preparing to DOMINATE coming out of the gate.

You remember the strategy.

Beat Kerry, knock him out early. Tear him down in Iowa and New Hampshire and go after Edwards in the south. Then hope Clark stumbles and wants to be your VP.

That was the Dean strategy, not to go around the country, hoping against hope to win ONE state just to prove that you can actually deliver on all your promises and grandiose statements about being the only one who can stand up for the Democratic party and beat Bush.

Because ONLY YOU had the organization.

Because ONLY YOU had the die-hard supporters.

Because ONLY YOU could raise enough money to beat Bush.

Well, once the chips were down and you and your organization were put to the test you FAILED.

Miserably.

Don't even TRY to deny it.

Kerry beat you with every single kind of voter. He even beat you with anti-war voters.

Then, he went to your neighboring state, and beat you soundly and put you in a position where you couldn't even say it was a good second place.

No comeback kid for you. Because in the end, they took a look at Howard Dean, and they took a look at John Kerry.

And they voted for John Kerry.

And they're gonna keep doing that primary after primary. State after state.

And you're gonna sit there.

And you're gonna stew.

And you're gonna come up with all kinds of creative excuses as to why you lost.

And you're gonna go on saying nasty things about John Kerry.

And I'm gonna thank you.

Because you made John Kerry a better candidate.

And you made me a John Kerry die hard.

So thanks, and may the best man win.

1. Thank you for informing us Dean supporters are not "people".
I'm sure you're quite proud of yourself.

4. Very defensive
Where were you when Dean was being bashed by Kerry?

He is not the best candidate. Clark is, followed closely by Dean

1. If you start a thread in this forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. The moderators have the sole authority to decide whether a thread topic is inflammatory.

Thanks,
