SHUT UP!!!
From San Antonio's WOAI:
Saying the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong," Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean predicted today that the Democratic Party will come together on a proposal to withdraw National Guard and Reserve troops immediately, and all US forces within two years.
Oh how freakin terrific and wonderful. Howard Dean has opened his big mouth yet again. Instead of concentrating on raising money for the '06 elections, we get yet another stupid quote from the mouth of Dr. Dean. It seems to me that Howard Dean is to the Democratic party what Terrell Owens is (sorry, was) to the Philadelphia Eagles, a bad teammate with potential that constantly sticks his foot in his mouth at the worst possible time just to see his name in the paper. Mr. Dean needs to realize that just because a majority of Americans want to bring the troops home as soon as possible, this doesn't mean that a majority of Americans want us to fail in Iraq. That's just simply put, stupid. Even if it were a true statement (which it is most decidely not), it was a stupid comment that will come back to haunt him and the Democrats in '06. I was very supportive of Howard Dean as DNC Chairman when it was first announced. I was hoping that he would be the kind of figure that could raise a lot of money for Democrats on his name recognition while keeping a low profile in the media. Instead, everytime I turn around it seems Dr. Dean is in the news saying something controversial and giving ammunition to the far right wing to beat us over the head with. These are the comments that make Americans think you are weak on defense. You can be against the war. We all know you were against it from the start. You can be against the way the thing has been handled every step of the way. Please don't say we are going to fail though. That's not the right message to send to our military and the American people, and it's not the sort of rhetoric that's going to help us gain any traction in '06 or '08.

Two months (almost exactly) on hiatus and you're back. Hooray!
I've noticed that you've been moving much more towards the center in your political convictions. That's a good thing...keep coming.
One way to do that, is to stop calling Dean a Dr. How this idiot was ever able to graduate with a PhD in anything is simply astonishing to me. His diploma should be taken away simply on principle.
Unfortunately for America, although his comments may seem radical to some, this is the general consensus of politicians in the democratic mainstream. It is also why good dems like Lieberman (pleeeease run for pres or at least VP again Joe - we need you!) and Zel Miller feel their party is disintegrating into something horribe. They fell ostricized and I don't blame them. Their party has gone from the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy to the party of Michael Moore and the ACLU.
It is obvious since they hired Dean as their chairman and he says stupid things like this; deliberately to bring the morale of our troops down and ultimately more of them will be killed because of it; since we will have to stay longer as he continues to undermine our efforts.
I hope he keeps it up actually. Not so more troops die, but so that the country realizes that the dem party is up to its ears in idiots and needs a real turn-around.
Vote Condi '08.
