| 97. While I like Dean I'm suprised to see so many people |
|
here sticking up for him. If he had made that statement in a speech, or somewhere else I might have bought that it was a mistake, but the man was on the freakin 700 club. That was not a "mistake" or some kind of misstatement, he knew exactly what he was saying. Trying to appeal to voters he has no business appealing to. The people who watch the 700 club are "the base". They will never vote for a dem and there is no reason to throw your and your parties values away to try to snatch a few votes away from the "base". The repukes are going to eat him alive with the old "flip-flop" thing now. I don't advocate kicking him out but he needs some fucking sense smacked into his head.
