Infighting between Dean, rivals gets ugly

Keeping my fingers crossed until sometime in February when Dean locks up the nomination. Hopefully Dr. Dean will quit putting his foot in his mouth quite so frequently until then so as to ensure his nomination.

Lots of negative press on the Doc lately. Gotta ask yourself: "Who benefits?"

The difference is, they didn't get this much attention. LOL. Thank God for the Information Age!

Another difference is the embattled candidate usually fought his/her own fights instead of running to the party chairman. What a wuss!!! LOL

There is one thing to consider in all this stuff folks...

Neither truth nor reason, nor moral fortitude nor descent human behavior will get in the way of a Democrats bid for the White House.

Nor does it matter how anger filled their speech, how ill equipped their facts or how lacking in judgment regarding economic or national security matters, the blind rage of purely democrat voters make the nomination of Dean at least a bit worrisome. The bright spot is perhaps that there are probably fewer blind raging democrats in the voting populace Thane there are rational minded folk... let us pray!

Finally... a slow motion trainwreck I can enjoy.

Bingo! There are two serious character flaws here that voters will not like in a would-be president. When you're president, you cannot run to Mommy saying, "He hit me!" And no one likes the guy who says he'll take his marbles and go home if he doesn't get his way. We need a passive-aggressive president like we need a hole in the head.

Dean wound up criticizing McAuliffe when he said a strong party leader would intervene to keep him from getting beat up.

Sounds like those who said (during the 1952-1960 period), "This wouldn't happen if Eisenhower were alive." LOL

"They are beginning to really gouge this guy," Republican pollster Bill McInturff said about Dean, chuckling. "Look at Howard Dean and, as a Republican, think about the advertising we're going to run."

Remember when AlGore produced the "Willie Horton" hit piece during the primary fight against Dukakis, and when the Republicans did the same thing in the general election, the Democrats played the race card against the Repubs for doing the same thing Gore did?

Got to be careful how they use this stuff, or it can blow up on you.

Lieberman said ....(Dean) ....called members of Congress "cockroaches" and party leaders "prostitutes".....

What is the Dumbocrat party coming to when Dean can't even tell the truth without getting beat up?

Dean is a maniac. If he is elected, popular revolt and armed insurrection in the Red states will not be far off.

Dean is a maniac. If he is elected, popular revolt and armed insurrection in the Red states will not be far off.

And if he isn't elected he can lead his true-believers to some other country and start a Jonestown-style "Deantown."

Whatever happened to allegations that Howard the Coward assaulted one of his secretaries by shaking her, getting into her face and scaring her silly with verbal abuse? Isn't it true that his temper is legendary?

They're doing our work for us :)

It's almost not worth their time, if these are the best they've got!
