Damn,,they need to keep a low profile till he gets the nom. And this strategy is not a good one,,we need to let Dean self-immolate, and he will.

You know, this over-the-top rhetoric from our side doen't help. While I privately wonder about Dean, it is easier to say he is "tempermentally unsuited" to be president. That allegation is easier to prove and doesn't make us sound like wild-eyed fanatics.

As for Dean's children, Murray said, "it gets worse." "The Deans told their children to pick a religion, any religion, and that they would not get involved in their decision one way or the other," Murray lamented. The two children subsequently chose to become Jewish. Jewish? How terrible! </ sarc>

They'll probably attack this guy and his group for being "Dean haters" (while of course in their minds it is noble to hate Bush)

Over the top rhetoric?
Do you have any idea how foolish you sound?
I didn't think so.

You're right, and I'm concerned about that as well. However, it seems that his primary-voting base becomes even more rabidly pro-Dean with each of the anti-Dean messages. So, it's a tough call.
I view it this way: his base is not so much pro-Dean as it is anti-Bush. They HATE Bush. Therefore, any anti-Dean message is received by his supporters as pro-Bush, which reminds them of how much they hate Bush, which reinforces their support for Dean.
Or, maybe I'm wrong.

"While I privately wonder about Dean, it is easier to say he is 'tempermentally unsuited' to be president. That allegation is easier to prove and doesn't make us sound like wild-eyed fanatics."Why does stating the obvious "make us sound like wild-eyed fanatics"??
Isn't it a fact of the matter the majority of this year's Democratic Party candidates for President can be considered certifiable loons?
I submit the following mental patients: Dean, Kucinich, Sharpton, and Kerry.

One of my best friends growing up was Unitarian. The Mom was Jewish and the Dad was Catholic, so it was a compromise. Guess it was more socially acceptable for the kids, because the Unitarian Church was still considered a "church".

I think we really need to discuss this without flaming each other. I agree with the article. But to publicly start calling a man crazy, and that is what he does, is low and doesn't bring the issue up to the level of discourse. It is better to be smart than right in this instance in my opinion. I absolutely think Miss Marple has the key. We need to get a President reelected and we need to be smart about it. Polarizing talk, about Jews, Unitarians, gays, etc is not going to get the large middle moderate section of voters on our side. Heck, it won't get alot of freepers on our side. The author's bring up of cheneys lesbian daughter was over the top in my mind.

I think no matter what we do, Dean will stumble and fail to get the nomination.
Better plan for Clark.

While I privately agree that Dean and some of the rest (certainly Kucinich) are nutty as fruitcakes, how one presents the message to the public is very important.
To the average voter, this writer is saying that a medical doctor, former governor of Vermont, and a presidential candidate is clinically insane.
First of all, he is not insane. He is hot-tempered, arrogant, a liar, and willing to ditch any previously held position in order to get the nomination. None of these characterists, nor all of them together, make him insane. It makes him tempermentally unsuited for the office.
Secondly, accusations such as this one sound so ridiculous to the general public that they begin to ignore anything substantive coming from our side. Please remember how the conservatives worries about Clinton's contacts with China were ignored by the public who had come to believe that everything Clinton did was being attacked by the right.
This type of diatribe is counterproductive.

Howard Dean is God's gift to George Bush in 2004.

In title, Dean Dean, is that sort of like a date date? Not really a date, not really a dean?
