BREAKING NEWS: Gore will endorse Howard Dean!

[Ned]

Well, Rufus, most Republicans are welcoming a Dean candidacy thinking he will be easy to beat. I don't share their overconfidence because Dean does inspire his base as once did Hitler. He could get so many Democrats to the polls that they could win with only Democrat votes. Screw the Republicans and Independents.

It is simply hard to imagine a person of such extreme views and rabid personality being president.

In contrast, McCain is only slightly to the left and for the most part talks in very muted tones, with calm reason.

Meanwhile, it's worth remmbering who the last guy was who got tarred by the Right-Wing Media as being "too angry" to be president: John McCain. Sounds to me like Dean is in excellent company.

Could you please not insult John McCain by equating him with Howard Dean? I respect the guy...

I saw a clip on BBC where the Gore was talking about why he was endorsing Dean. For some reason it cracked me up - Gorester appeared to be drunk or medicated.

There's a reason Dean has gone from joke to dark-horse to long-shot to candidate-to-beat. Dean's anger is working because lots of people are angry, and have been for years -- and they think it's about time someone noticed (feel free to compare this, rightly, to the GOP and the 1994 midterm elections). Kerry, Lieberman, Gephardt, Edwards -- all the more "legitimate," "serious" candidates -- either didn't pick up on this or chose to ignore it. Now a couple of them -- Kerry and Gephardt -- are using it as a campaign posture, but it's obviously just a tactic. Dean's the real deal; if he's frothing at the mouth, well, good for him; every Democrat I know is frothing at the mouth, and its about time our pathetic electoral system gave us someone to vote for.

'Jewess' is an inapropriate word?

Edit: I checked my dictionary and it says it is sometimes used offensively. In this case it was not.

i love how the right complains bitterly about how the left links bush to hitler, and then goes on and links dean to hitler instead.

You do understand that this is how political parties are supposed to work, right?

Except Republicans and independants outnumber Democrats.

The only way it could happen is if a very high number of democrats voted and a very low number of republicans and moderates didn't. That is unlikely.
