11. If you think IranContra and BCCI aren't relevant today that's your first

problem with reality. Both 9-11 and our Iraq policy are rooted deeply in those scandals.


Are you saying that any other Democrat would have come up with better policy positions and debated better than Kerry? Name them.

Are you saying that all the DNC and Dem spokespeople would have challenged the RNC and RW media machine more competently with another Democratic nominee?

Are you saying that the Left=leaning and objective media WOULDN'T have been overpowered by the RW message machine with aother candidate?

I'm saying that Kerry was a great candidate who won all his matchups with Bush from personal achievements of record, on creating better policy, and in the debates he won decisively.

The DNC was outorganized by the RNC and the Dem pundits and media got their asses handed to them every day by the RW machine who controlled the debate on a DAILY BASIS.

But, don't expect that truth to be told - no Dem pundit or writer is going to admit that they couldn't tell the truth as effectively as a the RW message machine can lie for its guy.

The DNC spokespeople were only schooled in defending Clinton for the last 8 years. They knew little about other Democrats and couldn't adjust to real campaign issues.

And it ws the DNC's job to secure the voting machines BEFORE the election - afterwards is too late. There were ALOT of Democrats on the ballot who were let down by the DNC.

Thankfully, Dean is refocusing the DNC to finally do its job.
