Democrats Play Game of "Follow The Loser"

Bill Clinton - A man who could never seem to get away from scandal. Though, in my opinion, a far better President than the last Democrat, Jimmy Carter, scandal followed President Clinton even after he left office.

Not much of an achievement.

After reading all of your article. I would say it's a fairly good assessment. Good Post!!!!

[Nam Vet]

Nice read .. pretty much on target!

The media have been doing their best to protect Dean. Can you imagine what it is going to be like once he gets the nomination? They will have to show him. And he will not play in Peoria. Howard Dean is the live incarnation of Charles Emerson(?) Winchester (the third?) from the old MASH series. He is an arrogant, snobbish elitist. Even the beast is more charming. Average Americans will be repelled by him. And this does not even take into consideration his kook left policies!

Dean will win big in Santa Monica and the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Paint the rest of the country red.

Sssssshhhhh!

Da wabbits are sweeping!

[Bonaparte]

Can't wait to watch him explain his "confederate flag" remark to the congregants in those black churches -- or his "bike path" Congregationalist conversion to the folks in those Southern Baptist churches.

It will be too funny.

Kudos on a great article! Although I think we should be BEGGING Howie to keep shooting his mouth off (and his party's chances in the foot). "C'mon, Howie! Let's hear more of your policies and plans, pretty please! We're all ears! You're going to talk about God in the South? Tell us more."

[dpflanagan]

Thanks for your comments. Fortunately for us, we won't have to beg Dean to continue mouthing off like a shotgun with a hairpin trigger. What can I say, the guy is fun to watch.

Yep, that about describes them. The funny thing is, they are so wrapped up in their hatred they can't even see it.

[Sir Gawain]

Well, if Dean is correct, then I guess we should just give up right now and all convert to Islam.

Praise Allah and pass the suicide belt, I've got a schoolbus to catch!

[alwaysconservative]

You're welcome. I guess one of the more amusing things in all this is to watch the angry desperation on the faces of the other candidates as they watch "their" party being hijacked by this looney-tunes excuse for a candidate, and watch "their" president-in-exile, Albore, endorse the one guy certain to tank the party in 2004. It's almost delicious.

[Bonaparte]

He's also been crowing about his "fiscal conservatism," so it will also be fun to watch him explain why it is that he brought in Vermont's very first property tax (1997) or why he kept boosting taxes on businesses in that state. If he stays true to form, he'll lose his temper and change the subject.

Clinton??? a far better President than the last Democrat

I humbly beg differ.

One's a profligate womanizer, a traitor selling this country down the drain while getting "serviced" in the Oral Orifice, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum...the list is endless.

The other is a sanctimonious "useful idiot" of a fool who should stick to peanut farming and spare us his meddlesome diatribes on foreign policy.

My list of five worse presidents in US history includes:

1. Clinton

2. Carter

3. FDR

4. LBJ

5. Truman

And they all have one thing in common (well, maybe more than one).

[texasflower]

I would prefer to have him a little quieter right now. If not, he might not get the nomination.

Then we would miss out on the fun of watching him implode when going toe to toe with Bush.

You forgot Sorelooserman, Algore. Algore, abbeted by the media, keeps popping up, reinventing himself will democrates looking up to him! He couldn't even hold his home state (was it D.C. or Tennesee?) even though the endorsed Veep of his party.

The next clear looser is Howard Dean who needs the James Watt shot in the foot award, daily. Besides saying he would break up media conglomerates based on ideology (abolishing the freedom of the press), suggest to Americans not to vote on pricipal (not on God, Gays or Guns), but his latest gaffe on Osama, makes him an obvious Bin Landen with Looserman written in Scarlet on his forhead.

Next is John F'ing Kerry, so obsessed with his image that he tries to Algore into Motorcycleman. He tries to be anti-war at the same time repeating, ad nauseum, that he is a 'Vietnam vet'. What a Joke.

Behind Kerry is Gehbhart, who like Kerry and Dean, wants to Mondale us with a Tax increase (repeal the tax cuts). He promised us Hillarycare with premium increases (just like she disasterously did). With Dean and Kerry going down in flames, he is the most likely Democratic candidate to loose all fifty states.

And finally the wicked witch herself, who goes into Afganistan and Iraq and criticises the commander to his troops! Arafat's wife's kisser is more shrill than chalk screaching on a blackboard. She's got the press under the cover in bed with her, praying for her to come out and be the chief looser of the party. All they have to do is put her on the campaigne trail and it is assured.

The funniest thing is how the press continues to carry water for all these loosers, loosing viewers daily (the exception being Fox for obvious reasons). The press is the biggest looser of the bunch. Candidates come and go, but a bad repution (read suck-up to democrat artists) for the press may be permanent.

My prayers are answered, the Dems and press are stuck with the Albatross of Bill Clinton and his legacy. Watching all these loosers is delightfully absurd.

so it will also be fun to watch him explain why it is that he brought in Vermont's very first property tax (1997)

Let's be clear on this one. Vermont had a property tax all along but it was collected and used at the town level.

Under Dean, after a Vermont Supreme Court ruling, the state began to impound the school portion of the property tax, which the towns collected, and then re-apportioned it to the towns.

This will likely lead to a revolt in a few years
