The Attacks on Dean
For the last several years, we've been treated to:
- * Dems are Godless whores
* Democrats want to destroy the Bible and keep it away from you
* Democrats hate freedom and democracy
* Democrats spend, spend, spend
* Democrats are racist
* Democrats love Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda
* Democrats are more concerned with what's good for the terrorists than what's right for the American people
* Democrats are in a war against God and all that is holy
* Democrats are shiftless and elitist
So color me... oh, not exactly amused that even the Democrats are hopping all over Howard Dean because he's made a few comments back at the GOP. How many times has just someone like Tom DeLay come out with these nasty statements about Dems - even going so far as to tell them to "go home" so he can run Washington and America because Dems were "no longer needed"?
Dems need to decide: is the GOP running the whole show, defining everything, and speaking for all of America? If so, then Tom DeLay's right and I guess Dems should go home.
But if they decide that - as at least 50% of the American population says - that the GOP is running this country into the ground, that Tom DeLay is bad for America, and that we need a real opposition party, then perhaps Dems should stop fighting Howard Dean and stop worrying about calling a mean-spirited dickless wonder like DeLay a couple of choice names, and worry instead about fighting the good fight FOR America.
I'm sick to death of so-called Dems like Ben Nelson almost apologizing for being a Democrat - not to mention that really dreadful "red state" toupee of his - jumping on Dean. And Harry Reid apologizing to Bush for being a liar when Mr. Bush's lies are legendary. Howard Dean is NOT the problem. And even before the Dems should worry about name calling back, how about acting not just only as an opposition party but making that opposition intelligent, rooted in the needs of the American public as a whole, and not letting the GOP define who they are and what they can do.
