2. Here's your mirror...From MWO

>>>>>
Fortunately, after the Democrats succeeded in formulating a coherent manner in which to clarify legitimate, complex positions media whores might otherwise succeed in painting as "inconsistencies" (Mickey Kaus still tries, God bless him), most American voters now "get it."

Nevertheless, wingnuts, who tend not to be the sharpest knives in the drawer and who become even less hinged when frightened, will fail to distinguish between a "resolution" and a "war" - and are attempting to paint comments by four-star-General Clark and war hero Senator Kerry as inconsistent.
>>>>


btw...Dean supported Bush on Yucca Mt. and Sierra Blanca. He also supported Bush OVER Gore and Kerry when asked about their criticisms of Bush's military strategy in July, 2002 on MTP. Of course, that's when he was still running from the "Republican wing of the Democratic party."

4. Oh, I see...
....better tell those soldiers dying that they're not there fighting a war, they're fighting a resolution.

Kerry signed the blank check. Calling do-overs or 'oopsies' will not suffice.

Take your McSenator and try again.

13. Do you plan to go to Congress and refuse to negotiate
to get the better deal when it falls on you to do so?

Do you plan to be derelict of duty when faced with the choice of giving Bush the REAL blank check he wants or getting that better deal?

Would it have pleased you more if NO Democratic lawmaker negotiated and Bush NEVER went to the UN with his evidence (which helped sink his credibility now), put inspectors back in, and allowed Bush to bomb Syria and Iran after the fall of Baghdad?

18. Iraq resolution had nothing to do with the invasion
The resolution was about getting leverage with Saddam, to get inspectors back into the UN. Based on the evidence, the Democrats who voted in favor of the Iraq resolution did right thing. Bushco alone is responsible for misleading the congress and the American people.

Oh and while we're on the topic, the self proclaimed conservative Dean was skiiing while many more died in Vietnam, while many protested against the same war. Dean skiied, people died.

14. What does that have to do with MWO?
Because MWO mocks those who don't understand the difference between a resolution and war?

Mocking Kerry is good for.....?

Or with the price of tea in China, for that matter...

I'm not mocking anyone, but I don't worship MWO either. Sorry.

17. But, you show disdain for a post
that calls out someone for mocking Kerry?

Fair and balanced, eh?

19. please find a post of mine
where I've offered to be "fair and balanced".

You've taken every conceivable opportunity, plus some, to hammer on Dean. Such is your right, but don't pretend to the "fair and balanced" holiness after doing so. If you're gonna be partisan, lose the martyr complex and be partisan.

24. I state repeatedly what his position is or has been -
Is that hammering? Using a candidate's own political words, positions, and actions past and present is "hammering" to you?

I stress that he is a compromising centrist being lauded by the same people who vilified other politicians for any perceived compromise.

What about my posts have ever been unfair in the political arena?

6.  VP Ford took over for the disgraced Nixon and finished out his term.
One would of thought Carter would beat Ford and the GOP in a landslide. It was too close for comfort.

9. ahhhh...I see....
since there are soo many Dean supporters as opposed to Kerry supporters, we dilute the talent.....clever, I guess I didn't think of that cause i'm an idiot.....too many people, raising too much cash working too hard for their candidate....

Would these be the same Dem political tactics that have brought us to this wonderful time in our nation's history?

15. It wasn't the Dems who ran Nader
and it wasn't the Dems who disenfranchised 50,000 Forida voters or whatever the hell obscene number it was.
Now what were you saying?....

12. Wrote McG a Letter, Said DROP OUT
Said, you're NOBLE, you're GOD, so DROP OUT so somebody can BEAT NIXON!!!!

His staff answered, SIGNED BY HIM, "I think I UNDERSTAND the issues that I have a GOOD CHANCE to win, so. ...."

Wish I had kept the letter.
