Yeah, Dean's clearly just sooooo mean!

"We're not gonna win unless we stand for something."

Yeah, I can see how that sort of a statement would be offensive and divisive to any number of Democrats in Washington, who cherish the trappings and perks of their offices far more than they do the public good.

"The way to beat Bush is not to be like him."

Yup, that's really got to get under the skin of candidates like Gephardt, Kerry and Lieberman, who got cheek by jowl last year with Lil George, swallowing his line of lies about Iraq hook, line and stinker. I would suggest that if another candidate doesn't care for what Dean is saying, that candidate would be well served to appeal to the Democratic base of the Democratic party. I for one have had enough of the "common man" lies spewed forth by the Dim Son; I don't need to hear them again from Democratic candidates.
