Dean Can't Win
I mean, how can anyone win unless they support the war in Iraq and tax cuts? War and tax cuts have been a mainstay of Democratic principles for decades. Naive people may think that if someone supports tax cuts and war, they would just vote for Bush? but thats silly! People that like those things are obviously are looking for someone else to vote for, just because they want variety in the white house. In a contest between a Republican and a Democrat who acts like a Republican, they will always support the fake Republican.
And how can Dean say we arent safer with Saddam gone? Doesnt he remember how saddam was orchestrating 9-11 and the insurgency in Iraq from his spider hole? he was also responsible for Mad Cow disease and the New york yankees world series loss to the Florida Marlins.
People who don't like war and tax cuts don't deserve representation in government in the democratic party. What are they, some kind of communists? They embarass us in front of the swing voters.
Another thing...Dean recently said he enjoyed eating peanut butter. This just proves his dishonesty and unfitness for office. while Wes Clark was defending us from the imminent looming threat to the American Homeland of the Viet Cong, Dean was probably at home eating peanut butter. As governor of Vermont, he raised taxes on peanut butter. Which is not surprising, since in 1972, Dean said that he hated peanut butter, what a liar. Also, he failed to appreciate that Dennis Kucinich also likes peanut butter. I certainly do not appreciate his attempt to marginalize certain candidates. Finally, I hear that Dick cheney also enjoys peanut butter... verrrry interesting... the similarity....
Dean is truly from the Mondale/Gingrich wing of the Democratic party. Only stingy conservatives like Dean would want universal health care and to repeal all of bush's tax cuts. And his stand on gun rights and his 11 balanced budgets makes him totally unpalatable to swing voters. What a Michael Dukakis clone!!
And lets not forget his hypocrisy on the Iraq war. I mean, its not important that he was pegged as an anti-war liberal for speaking out against the war, he really supported it. I mean Biden-Lugar, the exact same thing as IWR. the only differnce is that Biden-Lugar is such a COOL name! Much cooler than Iraqwarresolution... (how verbose and awkward) I mean Dean isnt going to come out and support a war resolution unless the name of the bill is catchy. He doesn't understand the burdens of being a senator. He doesnt understand that if you have foreign policy experience, you would know the best way to oppose a war is to vote for the war resolution. Dean's deviousness continues... he has everyone THINKING he opposes the war, but he knows hes pulling a fast one on the Dems. The kicker is when he said we werent safer with Saddam captured. If that doesnt fool them, nothing will. with that statement, Dean was in the clear to secretly support the war with impunity.
It irks me how he likes to say he's a champion for gay rights. hah, what a laugh. i mean when did he ever dress in drag at a press conference? He wouldnt sign the civil unions bill on the set of the 700 club either... geez, what a let down. he's so afraid of the religious right. I mean, he only wore the bulletproof vest during his 2000 campaign appearances to enhance the broadness of his chest. He's such a caluclator.
My prediction is that he will lose 53 states plus Zimbabwe and the United Arab Emirates. The Democrats will be left with negative 17.5 seats in the house and negative 6 seats in the senate. Bush will then expel Vermont from the union after slaying all its cows.

What a loser. If people just new the REAL Howard Dean....





Just in case I have to...

Though I'm sure this will get alerted by many Clark supporters because it makes too much sense.

10. But Duuuuuuuuuude, he makes me feel so, so,so, ME!!!!!.
Like I am finally, after all these years of, like being just an average voter, finally part of something big. It's grassroots, baby! Like when Howard says the futures in MY hand not his, I just get all tingly and usually even forget all about those times he scmoozed with all those NRA and Pfizer and Enron lobbyists. So what? It's the movement, baby, not the man!

With Howard I am the powerful. Sure, he gets the job. But I get the POWER. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me.

12. Really? Then why are you voting for Clark then?
Edited on Tue Jan-06-04 11:00 PM by FubarFly
Or are you just a Dean mole here to make Dean look better by making Clark look bad?

Oops! Almost blew your cover.

Better flame me now ;-)

Whew.

21. I have it on good authority that Tibet is leaning to Kerry.
We will lose ALL of Tibet's crucial electoral votes if dean is the nominee! This mad man MUST be stopped!
