I enjoying watching the GOP and Dems squirm over Dean!

[niceypoo]

The GOP pretend that they want Dean to be the candidate because they fear him and the Idiotic Democratic leadership falls for it. Dean has them in a panic. The Democratic leadership are scared that Dean will do what they have failed to do over the last few years, ask the questions that their little poll driven world fears.......questions like "Mr Bush, whats your REAL agenda and why all the secrecy surrounding everything you do?" Dean will "Rip that idiots head off and shit down the hole" and I cant wait to watch!

2. Does the fact that he is not a liberal bother you?

that's the main thing I don't like about Dean.

3. No it doesnt

I like what he stands for. In fact The democrats are whining that he is TOO LIBERAL for them (Exactly what rove is putting out....what a friggin coincidence). I love it. Dean was AGAINST the war and most of the other democratic hopefuls KISSED ASS on the war. Screw their sold out asses.

4. Not everyone is a liberal. Lots of us here are moderates.

Dean is one we are supporting. Also Graham, and both are middle. I think both are a lot better than Lieberman, though there are some issues I disagree with them about.

I would prefer to do away with NAFTA myself, but we won't. Logically it is best to support someone who will be for making it better.

5. Well he's certainly more liberal than bu$h

And that's the main opponent he'll have when he wins the nomination. So while I consider myself progressive I'm still supporting Dean because I know he can win both the Democratic nomination and beat bu$h. That's my main goal right now, get bu$h out of our White House. Fire the lazy, un-elected, war monger.

Go Dean Go!!

6. The labels don't hold up anymore.

Dean is a common sense candidate. That's what I like best about him. He is for the most effective ways to achieve what is best for the most people and the country and the planet overall.

He is for reestablishing the common sense kind of community that government is supposed to facilitate - "to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity...."

The debate isn't between "liberal" and "conservative" philosophies anymore, because those terms have been so muddied that they really don't mean what they used to. The neocons are not the same as old-time conservatives and neoliberalism is anathema to old-time liberals. Besides that, we have anarchists, right-wing fundies, PNAC imperialists, and militia-minded isolationists all thrown into the mix to confuse matters further. None of these entities are really at the heart of the matter at this point.

Dean, I believe, is the man who is trying to reestablish our constitutional government in its best and most noble form, "of the People, by the People, and for the People" - and he means it for all the People, not just the favored few. I can almost see how his mind works at evaluating each issue, weighing the risks and the benefits, just as his scientific medical training prepared him to evaluate the risks and benefits of therapies on a case-by-case basis.

The cardinal rule in medicine is, "First, do no harm." Everything else follows. I believe Dean is applying this rule as best he can to our nation's critical illness at this time.

Dr. Dean is the one we need and he has my full support. The GOP would do well to squirm in fear and the DLC in shame.
