There it is
Edited on Sun Feb-20-05 12:55 AM by Cary
Republicans don't have a long term plan to restore America to its rightful position of moral greatness. Howard sees no long term planning from this administration.

The Democrat's problem is a PR issue.

I like Dean. Maybe we would have been have been better off with him than Kerry?

1. At the moment, Dr Dean is exactly where we need him.
Edited on Sun Feb-20-05 12:49 AM by necso
He is quick on his feet, doesn't like losing and he will be quick to learn whatever else he needs to know.

The highly questionable failure of his Presidential campaign staff aside (which is his fault only in trusting people that he was told to trust by various "well-intentioned" people -- and which I bet won't happen again), Dean is a very good politician.

Now (we all should) let him play politics.

3. I corrected a typo.
I hope you realize I am referring to his debate tonight with Richard Perle, and I was repeating what Dean said because I approve.

Let him play, indeed!

5. And I added the phrase
"(we all should)", because I realized that you might take it the wrong way. (Often, however, I just figure "screw it".)

And any glimmer of (potential) displeasure that you might have detected was really directed at those who might use this opportunity to re-hash those damn primaries -- and no, I didn't think that you were meaning to do that.

The better Dr Dean looks, the more people are going to be thinking: "Damn, he should have been our candidate." (And yeah, the primary process is {and all those useless parasites are} killing us.)

But a hell of a lot of good that does us. We have to move on. Now. (And no, I am not suggesting that you aren't.)

4. Yep, attack, attack attack. Let the world know the moral decay
and lack of planning from the republican party.

Don't forget the budget deficit, the trade deficit, the falling dollar, the health insurance crisis, the general national malaise, the massive lies, cheneyburton illegally trading with Iran, traitor-gate for outing those who serve in the CIA, failure to prevent 9/11, purging of voter rolls in Florida, using our tax money for propaganda against the people of the United States, Kerik, Enron, FCC censorship, loss of manufacturing jobs, tax cuts that aided outsourcing of our jobs, not getting OBL,

bush lying about inspectors going to Iraq, bush lying about Nigerian yellowcake, bush lying about those aluminum tubes, Condi lying about Saddam's WMD's, Powell's using quotes from a graduate student in his speech to the UN about Iraq, Powell lying about WMD's in Iraq, (the entire BA lied about WMD's) the broken promise on CO2 emissions, not allowing a medicare budget expert to testify before congress about the cost of bush's medicare plan, incompetence in administration of occupied Iraq, broken promises to the New York firefighters, and bush assuring us that he knew what he was doing in Iraq--he didn't.

Then there's high milk prices, high oil prices, rising costs of college, no improvement in school test scores in spite of administrative tricks used by school districts to pump up scores, the billions spent in Iraq and the minor problems of North Korea and Russia becoming more extreme.

Bush calls it a catastrophic success. We've seen the catastrophy, we'll never see the success until bush's plans are reversed.
