Reply #40: Wait, you're criticizing Dean for using Bush-lite when he's quoting KERRY?

[corgigrrl]

that's a good one.

I've heard Dean talk a lot about Bush Lite, but mostly generically, and boy does it resonate with audiences, they can take whatever example of Washingtonians knuckling under to Bush pressure and that's what comes to mind. Plus, i think a lot of Americans just plain agree that we don't want Bush-lite, and sorry, that means those who've spent the past two+ years compromising far too often and bickering amongst themselves. As a Dem, I am really pissed off at most of the Dems and their too complacent behavior. What if we had 49 Robert Byrds instead of Gep and Edwards and the rest of them? Yes, Dean went after the Washington establishment and Bush in no uncertain terms from day one. Many of us are thrilled that he did.

Re clark: please go to commondreams.org and read the article about him praising the "resolve of Bush and Blair" in April 2003 London Times before you go any further with this guy. stopped me dead in my tracks. no way, jose.

Kerry has spent most of the past two weeks trying to "implode" Dean and going after Gephardt as well. On his home page, his exaggerated attacks are posted as "Top News." This is his top news? What about something wholly positive about HIM? On Dean's home page, news of upcoming events, fundraising appeals, highlights of supporters. Nary a word about other candidates, just trying to get people on board. It's all a question of tone, and I'd say the tone of Kerry's rejoinder up top says a lot about why I can't stand him anymore. Snide and arrogant.
