Republicans Attack Dean – Because He’s Unelectable?

Pundits across the political spectrum take a sadistic pleasure in citing Howard Dean’s daunting prospects come November. An incumbent president with solid poll numbers and a king’s (or sheik’s) ransom in campaign dollars would pop the liberal Northeastern pest like a tick. Why then are they dedicating such a high proportion of their sleaze and distortion budget to upending Dean’s candidacy?

Of course the lack of veracity of the arguments brought against Dean is no obstacle for the current administration, for that is SOP for the GOP. But the venom reeks of fear. Republican instigators have unsheathed their weapons of mass media and are laying down an unprecedented (for the primaries) fusillade of misinformation and fulmination through conventional political and mainstream media channels.

Whether it takes the form of the overtly partisan polemics of the Club for Growth or the glib dismissals by David Brooks and William Kristol or the hysterical ranting of whoever that guy is on Fox; the Republican lackeys are swarming the Dean campaign like ravenous grasshoppers.

1. I do not care about the Republicans.

Obsessing about what the Republicans think and feel about liberals is how we arrived in our current situation.

12. Kucinich had the best friggen comeback in the DC debate.

When a mod asked if he was electable:

"I'm electable, if you vote for me."

(In my sig line in fact.)

And you agree with that 100 percent, right Dean Supporters?
