DRAFT DEAN Movement is NOW BEGINNING!!! This is the MOST jazzed these morons have been all day long...

Wouldn't it be hilarious, hysterically funny if, when Dean left tonight, he gathered in a smoky back room somewhere and puzzled with his "team"...

Tomorrow the buzz starts, "DEAN'S gonna start a FLOOR FIGHT"!!!

Kerry get's dumped...Dean gets trounced, Bush wins 50 states...

Now THAT would be funny...

Good Grief! Dean said Bush raised their taxes, not lowered them!!! That's just one of the lies that has flowed from his mouth so far.

Maybe Dean will tell the Dems. how he went skiing in Aspen for eight months directly after the military let him out of his obligation -- after he showed them those "x-rays". Go ahead Doc Dean, tell us.
