Just wanted to ask this question....
After seeing the theories thrown far and wide from desperate Kerry supporters...

Dean's campaign is being run by a shadow Karl Rove.

The media (including liberal stalwarts The Nation) have annointed Dean as the Democratic Party nominee because they all are part of a corporate conglomerate that runs our world.

Dean has a Park Avenue background with past relatives having some connection with past Bush relatives.

Etc. etc.

Why exactly, I ask, should I trust the wealthiest member of the Senate, John Kerry (not one of the wealthiest, mind you, but THE wealthiest)...near, or possible, member of the billionaire club...and a member of Skull and Bones, just like George W. Bush, who wants to give some of his private fortune to attempt to buy the Democratic nomination, to have REAL concern for the less fortunate...

Instead of putting my trust in the largest grassroots political campaign of the past 100 years which is run across the country by individuals similar to me giving small checks just like me for financing?

1. I don't think you really wanted to ask that question.
I think you wanted to make a point.

Nothin wrong with it, tho. The Dean bashing is getting a little silly.

2. Heh.
As I said elsewhere in another thread, the attacks on Governor Dean have taken on all the characteristics of an imploding campaign; a dying animal will lash out viciously, and this is *exactly* what we're seeing now.

3. Viciously and without logic
If they were in control, they'd be lashing at and hitting vital points. They'd by like Rocky blasting into Apollo, landing the few critical blows needed to get off the ropes, instead they are windmilling, striking randomly hoping for the one lucky shot that saves them.

4. Yes, and that's one of the many, many
problems I have with Kerry. He should do the right thing and drop out of the race, even before the primaries.

5. IMO,
ALL the bashing of MANY candidates is and always has been silly.

That's not to say there are not legitimate concerns with some. It is very easy to tell the legitimate from the stupidity.
