Conservative: 'Dean will be 44th President of the United States' [View All]

OK, I rubbed my eyes, shook my head and read the article again. And again.

Yet there it remained. A "christian conservative" who came right out and, far from salivating over a Dean candidacy so Bush can trounce him, proclaimed that Howard Dean would actually be the next president of the United States. Why?

Read for yourself....

Howard Dean’s Keys To The White House
Carl F. Worden

When I wrote “President Howard Dean”, Al Gore hadn’t yet given Dean his endorsement. It was yet another solid step Dean achieved on his journey to the White House in November.

I am a Christian conservative who voted for Bush in 2000, and I write for a largely conservative and excellent Internet news and opinion publication called The Sierra Times. Remarkably, the positive responses I received from that article ran 8 to 2, 2 being those who said I was dead, absolutely DEAD wrong. The fact that largely conservative readers responded as positively as they did, means I am not wrong, and I am sticking to my prediction that Howard Dean will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.

Don’t misunderstand me: Dean’s platform supports all forms of elective abortion, which I strongly oppose, but pinch yourselves and try to remember that it is the Judiciary Branch that controls the issue of abortion – not the Executive Branch – and that means a presidential candidate’s position on abortion means little more than window dressing – window dressing that gets 100% of the “Choice” voter.

Of course, I have no idea what Dean’s position is on free trade, NAFTA/GATT or the WTO. As far as I know, he hasn’t said. Maybe he’s saving that for the finishing shot. I’m speculating of course, but Mr. Dean, if you are reading this, I just gave you the keys to the White House.

Now, I find myself in stark opposition to most of Mr. Worden's positions on the issues stated in his article (then again, I'm a Red. What do you expect?) so, why was his view worthy of note?

It demonstrates something I have suspected for quite awhile; namely, that many "real" conservatives are furious and fed up with Junior, and are ready to vote for Dean to prove their point. Dean just skirts their good graces close enough to grab the conservative anger vote. And for those who might not yet believe the obvious, there are a hell of a lot of conservatives out there.

Bathe yourself in the irony that the votes that actualy put Howard Dean over the top may well come from the people that were scared to death of his party four years ago.
