Democrats appear likely to nominate Howard Dean, rather than someone like Dick Gephardt or Joe Lieberman or Wesley Clark [Clark??!! What a hoot! A freakish creep who couldn't challenge his way out of a wet paper bag. Oh please dems, nominate Clark!] who could present a stronger challenge to President Bush in the general election. In doing so, Democrats are also setting the direction that they want their party to follow -- the extreme left.
But under the arcane nominating rules, [Have there ever been a bigger bunch of babies on the planet (besides actual babies)? Everytime the game doesn't go their way... CHANGE THE RULES! WAAAAHHHHH!] Dean will most likely be the Democratic nominee. Sensing this, Al Gore recently rushed to endorse Dean. In doing so, Gore hoped to imitate Nixon. Nixon knew Goldwater would lose in 1964. But Nixon realized that Goldwater's overall philosophy was a winner, so he supported Goldwater wholeheartedly, hoping to inherit his support in 1968 and with that the presidency. Gore believes that the same will happen to him. [They don't even like Gore anymore! They wanted him for prez so badly, now he's not fit to shine clinton's shoes.]
But Gore is miscalculating. The country is more conservative and grows more so daily. Gore and Dean are out of touch with a majority of Americans with their support for same-sex marriages. In foreign policy, they resemble Neville Chamberlain more so than Harry Truman. And by backing them, the Democrats are consigning themselves to minority status for the long term. Link
That's right dems... enjoy your stay in the recycle bin of history!!
