Dean Mirrors Bush: Can We Count the Ways???
Edited on Sat Dec-13-03 06:23 PM by Raya

Numerous debates with my Dean-supporting friends have convinced me that Dean is much more a mirror of BUSH than a complement of Kerry, Clark or any of the other major candidates. For example:


1. Dean’s arrogance and pugnacity is much like Bush's swagger and shoulders-squared jauntiness.

2. Dean’s Vietnam draft-dodge to the ski-slopes is much like Bush’s “daddy swung” sweet vacation in the Texas air national guard.

3. Dean’s death-penalty and NRA lobby record is only exceeded by Bush’s Texas hangman career.

4. Dean’s anti-war activist campaign is matched in phoniness by Bush’s compassionate conservative rhetoric.

5. Dean is man of shallow thought depending on Joe Trippi for direction, as George “let me check with my …” Bush depends on Karl Rove to direct his every political move.

6. Dean refers to “my advisors” for national security expertise just like George “the dictator of Pakistan is “the general,” Bush needed Cheney, Rumsfeld and the Wolfowitz to tell him what to do.


NEXT ….

1. Welcome,
another Clarkie new from the Blog? :hi:

This inflamatory rhetoric is against the user rules, so your thread may be locked. Just a heads up.

15. Boy, I hate to say it, but that's true.
I have no idea why. The average Clark supporter on the street won't do that, but a lot of people on DU have.

2. Dean is Bush-lite
Ironic that he uses this term against his opponents, when he is more Bush-lite than most of them.

4. Sure
Dean and Bush are alike. Dumbya hasn't got a brain, he's born from a privileged political family, lost against a pretzel, etc. So much like Dean. :eyes:

Flame bait. Nothing to see here.

When you see somebody with less than 50 posts inititiate inflammatory threads you can infer where they are coming from and what they are up to. Write to the Admin and check the box.
