The Democrats In Trouble

Weekly Standard ^ | 2/6/08 | Matthew Continetti

[freespirited]

What's really scary is that braindead Howard Dean is licensed to practice medicine. Or used to be.

[MNJohnnie]

Wishful thinking. The Democrats have the edge in money, enthusdasim and organization.

We have Democrat Lite McCain.

Good luck to the GOP trying to off sent the structural advantages the Democrats hold with a guy half their base does not trust.

[Tarpon]

Is this before or after the drive bys drop McAmnesty on his head and start pushing the too old and out of touch line?

[oblomov]

The Weekly Standard is angling to be the “house organ” of the McCain presidency, much like the New Republic under Wilson or Foreign Affairs under JFK. This is our true enemy, the entertainment-government industrial complex. Their goal is to make a bigger welfare state seem at least as fun as an episode of American Idol.

[adm5]

If McCain is smart, he’ll choose Ron Paul for VP and then out-liberal the liberals.

Won’t that be a hoot.

Either way, I say to the DNC/Clinton Political Machine and the Liberal Main-Stream-Media...”SIC ‘EM”.

The Conservatives DO NOT CARE!

[Libloather]

Dean actually writes that McCain "looked the other way as Jack Abramoff bought and paid for the Republican Party and the Culture of Corruption."

No mention of Norman Hsu - OR William Jefferson D-La.? Dang...

[AndyTheBear]

On abortion, Dean accuses McCain of promising to appoint judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain hasn't said this, either. What McCain has said is that he would appoint judges in the mold of Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas - jurists who strictly interpret the constitution.

Dean is right then. Any judge who feels at all obliged to follow anything close to the Constitution must overturn that absurdity.

[pallis]

As soon as McCain’s media party is through using him to bash their old enemy Rush and conservative talk radio, they will throw him away. The only difference between McCain and other Republican candidates that have been attacked by the old media will be that McCain deserves it. He won’t win in November.

[ncalburt]

Actually, I decided that Osama Obama and Comrade Hitlery are wayyyyyy more dangerous that Mcamnesty.
So , I will support Mcamesty since the damage those tow socialist will be irreversible .
Mcamnesty will be easy to fight but radicals like Osama or Queen Hillary will push thru the fairness doctrine and SHUT US UP by shutting down the internet free speech !

[CaptRon]

Then there are the issues which Dean doesn't mention. He doesn't mention McCain's popular stances on Guantanamo Bay and interrogations, on climate change

Popular with whom?

[AFreeBird]

Why don’t we just call this election on account of stupidity, on both sides, and try again next year.

[38special]

That won’t happen. McCain wins Texas hands down.

[hope]

"Dean's letter attempts to portray a McCain presidency as a third term for George W. Bush."

The rat pundits must have gotten faxed the Dean memo...Thier all using it.

[MNJohnnie]

You got my vote. Time for a do over.

[Christian4Bush]

Dean's letter attempts to portray a McCain presidency as a third term for George W. Bush.

But conveniently ignores that a Hillary presidency WOULD be a third term for Bill Clinton. Dr. Demento strikes (out)again.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I understand that McCain has three times as many lobbyists involved in his campaign as any of the other Republican candidates. But of course this will all change since the establishment has crowned him the nominee.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Just wait until that fool McCain’s MSM “friends” rip him six ways from Sunday for the next nine months. He’ll end up where he belongs — in a straight jacket.

[thewitz]

Yeah, I agree with you. My wife though, who is of Mexican ancestry, refuses to vote for Mr. McCain. She doesn’t want to see the U.S. turn in to that over-sized port-o-john they call Mexico. She joined the military to earn her citizenship and can’t understand why our Republican party would nominate someone who supports a blanket amnesty. Due to the fact that she is some what of a subject matter expert on this issue, I think I’ll have a hard time convincing her to vote McCain. I personnaly will hold my nose and send in my absentee ballot for the dude, as he is the lesser of whatever evil the dems produce. However, I’ll not be contributing any money to the campaign or the Republican party until they get their asses in gear.

[BJungNan]

The Democrats in trouble?! As in, what will they do with the house, senate and the executive office when they get it?

[Iron Munro]

"Dean's letter attempts to portray a McCain presidency as a third term for George W. Bush."

What an industrial-strength doofus!

More like a third Clinton term without the soggy cigar and the "I Dodged The Draft" T-shirt.
