He's doing great! 80-some years old and he just became the first president to ever publish a work of fiction: The Hornet's Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War. Compare that to your former president of choice. Ahem.

Once Clinton's book comes out there will be two works of Fiction by former Presidents.

Anyway - Dean can try to...Uh..I mean Trippi can try to cast Dean as whatever he wants but Dean's true nature will show through. They also admitted that he chose to not be a "main stream" candidate.

We told him he could run like Dick Gephardt or he could run like a maverick," McMahon said. "He could run like John Kerry, or he could run like someone different. But it couldn't be a mainstream campaign, because the mainstream space was already taken."

I guess that means he isn't a "moderate" as some are trying to claim he is. It seems to me that purposely chose NOT to be moderate.

Meh - doesn't matter much though - It's politics...and he sure seems to have an excuse(or apology) for everything.

CAD:

They are referring to the war in Iraq when they refer to the mainstream. Context is everything; but those who read Ann Coulter full-time for the truth probably aren't familiar with that view.

Portraying Dean as not mainstream, i.e. a liberal-a brush you like to wield against everyone who isn't a right winger- is too simplistic, and more importantly, it is untrue. The guy is a fiscal conservative, unlike Bush, who is a raving lunatic when it comes to budget issues. Bush hasn't seen a spending bill he didn't like, and particularly one that feeds the energy, or pharmaceutical interests that have funded his campaigns.

Anyway, I like Dean's brusque New England demeanor, which certainly isn't mainstream politics...yet.

On the other hand, he is a politician....

Bush's people ran him as an intelligent candidate. Even today, some people still believe it.

I suppose these could be the same people who believe the Apollo missions were faked.

He likes to chew Skoal tobacco, a habit that so repulsed O'Connor that she put a piece of tape across the center of the room, marking off her territory as a Skoal-free zone.

Well I guess that answers where dean got the confederate flag idea from

Buahahaha...It's not me saying he chose to not be "main-stream" - it's his people It doesn't matter that you seem to think that it was only talking about the war -even so - he chose non-mainstream. It is also likely that the war wasn't the only thing being talked about - but without better writing -we won't know.
But yes - Dean is a Liberal - PERIOD. You can try to say he's not - but he is and you know it. Now, I don't blame you for trying to paint him as a "moderate" or some bastardized form of a "fiscal conservative" - but the facts are he is a typical liberal who thinks the gov't is/and should be the provider and solver of everything.

BTW - what is the "democratic wing of the democratic party"? That still confuses me on how a supposed "centrist" claims he is from the "democratic wing". As oppsed to what? The "conservative wing" or "moderate wing" of the democrat's party?

Just an F.Y.I : it's The Democratic Party.


NOT "Democrat's Party"


Or "Democrat Party".

BOBDN is that you?:Q

It isn't the Democratic's party - it's the Democrat's party

I hence forth with refer to the Democrat's Party as "the party of the Democratics"
...or would you prefer "the party of the Democrats"?

I don't believe i said "Democratic's", either.





It is simply "the Democratic Party"...No apostrophes are needed.

i.e. One would not refer to it as the Republican's party...simply "The Republican Party".


"The party of the Republicans is The Republican Party."


The party of the Libertarians is "The Libertarian Party"

and just to keep things in proper punctuation, an apostrophe does not mean "attention : an "S" is coming up next".


"it's" is a contraction of "it is"...Not a possessive form of "it".




"My heavens, that poor dog looks hungry; perhaps it's time to feed it its kibbles and bits".



Copy editing can be a thankless job, so I won't burden you, just realize these are the rules of our language, not my personal preferences.



There, you see, I usually have to edit my own writing, so please don't think I'm being condescending. (sp?)

Bush is not a moderate by any stretch of imagination either. And if you want moderate policies, you don't need moderate politicians, you just need politicians to moderate each other. If you have a rightwing congress and a rightwing president, you get rightwing policies.
If you have a leftwing president and a rightwing congress, you get moderate policies, because only those will pass both branches.

That's all well and fine but you can't say that someone can't use it in a possesive form. You made an issue of me saying "of the democrat's party?" Meaning - of the party of democrats. Possesive. It is not a party who is made up of Democrats? Would it not be their group? Who controls the Party? democrats. Who owns the party? democrats. I think I'll stick to my statement as I originally wrote it

So, while I understand that the English language can be tough for some people - this is one case where the intent is pretty clear. You can choose to read it any way you wish but it is the party of democrats(ie. ...democrat's party).

OK..ok..ok - so I'll amend my "hence forth". I will, from this day, use "democrat's Party" instead of the previously stated "democratic's Party".

I watched a few minutes of Dean on Hardball last night. He could actually talk in a way that revealed a functioning mind behind his words. What a shock after hearing Bush all these years. It would be so nice to have a real President again.

 

[DealMonkey]

Truly, the only thing Dean's people need to do is ensure that Dean is positioned as the Anti-Bush. Just like Bush is the Anti-Christ.

Really?


Hardball Transcript

DEAN: Iran is a more complex problem because the problem support as clearly verifiable as it is in North Korea. Also, we have less-fewer levers much the key, I believe, to Iran is pressure through the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is supplying much of the equipment that Iran, I believe, most likely is using to set itself along the path of developing nuclear weapons. We need to use that leverage with the Soviet Union and it may require us to buying the equipment the Soviet Union was ultimately going to sell to Iran to prevent Iran from them developing nuclear weapons.

Here we see Dean referring to a country that has not existed for over 12 years. Where's he been? Hello, Mr. Dean, the Soviet Union is dead, long live the Soviet Union!

LOL, does the Soviet Union still exist in your world Moonie, or weren't you paying attention to what he was saying?

You should hate this fella Moonie, he's a bigot cuz he gets all queasy at the mention of gay marriage--he much prefers "civil unions" instead.

 

[Witling]

Hey, it could have been worse. He could have said, as President Ford did, that Poland wasn't a communist country (which it most assuredly was when he said it). But then Dean would be be right. I didn't realize it until now. Ford was just ahead of his time.
