Standing by the anti-war message that helped vault him to front-runner status among Democratic presidential candidates, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said Sunday night that the capture of Saddam Hussein has not changed his views about the conflict in Iraq.

Morford is likely feeling anally suicidal...

...His platform is not just opposing the war in Iraq."

Notice how liberals and conservatives define war in terms of their favorite war; the liberals think of war in terms of the Vietnam War, whereas conservatives think of war in terms of WWII. The liberal knee-jerk reaction is to protest war just like they did in those heady days of the 60's, where the conservative reaction is to throw everything we've got at 'em. The war in Iraq is neither the Vietnam War or WWII, but you don't have to be a psychic to see that Iraq is not going to turn into Vietnam.

Basing a political platform on the political climate 30+ years ago makes me wonder if these people aren't just having those LSD flashbacks the doctors warned them about back then.

Dean is strange.

He looks angry all the time.

He looks spiteful all the time.

He has a smart alec way of speaking.

He gets angry quickly.

He has no patience.

He will break under the pressure in a debate with GWB

He will make statements that are untrue and will be called on them.

He is one angry man. Why? Who knows? Maybe he thinks it goes with his rolled up sleeves...you know...the bobby kennedy look. Each dem has to have some kind of look. He rolls his sleeves, they all roll their sleeves.

Losers all...hey Dean... "Bring it on." By the way, Dean should get his own tag lines. "Bring it on" was GWB's line. Dean is a copy cat. God they make me laugh.

Does Dean have any other clothes in his wardrobe besides shirts with rolled up sleeves? Does he buy them or have them made special for him with sleeves rolled up. :)))

[finnman69]

The whole rooled up sleeve button down collar, tie knotted too tie look is unpresidential and screams angry man.

[cubreporter]

yes it does, doesn't it? I think he is trying to make a statement that he is "FIGHTING" for the working families. That's rhetoric from the past. "FIGHTING" ... that's one of the dems/libs favorite words. Guess that's why they wear the rolled up sleeves. Actually, they are PANDERING to people who they hope will fall in step and vote for them. Ever n otice how Gore always used fight, fighting or will fight for you? He used to SHOUT it out too and get that silly rasp in his throat. Wow...it was so ooooo predictable.. Anger, fight, anger, fight...roll up sleeves and fight. Yep, Dean the "ANGRY CANDIDATE." :)

You've proven that the average Freeper (not to call you "average") is smarter than all of the Democrat strategists put together. You're right. The best way for the DimRATS to neutralize Bush's advantage on the War on Terror is to agree with his policies (and there is good historical precedence for this -- claiming once again that our political bickering stops "at the water's edge," particularly at a time of war), and thereby being able to focus what they can on disagreements over domestic policy. Thank God, they are not this smart.

[MissAmericanPie]

He keeps his sleeves rolled up because slugs can't breathe through their noses.

[yonif]

and my views on Dean are unchanged either.....

[half_nelson]

I thought dems were against fighting...

Furthermore, isn't it mean to shout- what about those who are hard of hearing?

So much discrimination...

[NutCrackerBoy]

I heared on the raddieu that Dean pledged to make terrorism and WMDs his top priority if elected.

My thoughts: now we're getting somewhere. Not that I truly think Dean has a clue, but that this is the way 2004 could become a real election.

The liberals have consistently said they would go specifically after Al Qaeda; they would not conflate the War on Terrorism with the issues of "states of concern". If the American people really believe that would be more effective, they can vote the Dems into office. Good luck.

[half_nelson]

I am at work today and a co-worker (guess which political party) told me that, "The road to peace does not contain violence". I wonder who she will vote for...??

[gridlock]

I'm happy to be an average FReeper. However, I wouldn't want to be any Democrat today.

[cubreporter]

oh yes, they are against fighting except when it is something THEY want.

They are against YOUR FREE SPEECH but are comfy with their own.

They are against big money EXCEPT in their own bank accounts.

They are against hatred EXCEPT when it comes from them. They can be the nastiest people on God's green earth. They have proven that over and over and over again.

They are losers all beginning with bill, hillereee and on down the line. Joe Lieberman is proving to be the best and nicest candidate but even he leaves questions now and then...but he's the one that has some goodness in him.

"His campaign is strong enough to weather this," said Donna Bailey, 55, a consultant from Watsonville.

A mass murderer is captured and all they can think of is how their campaign will "weather" it. Says it all...
