"at least consider the possibility Democrats could have a few good ideas" It would help if they would bring some of them up for us to analyze. When all they have (and show) is hate for our President it is tough to reach the conclusion above. "There's no way Repubs are brilliant & Dems are stupid" Closer to the repubs are smart and have common sense and the dems are dishonest. Clinton for instance was not dumb. Just self centered and dishonest. Traits like that are not good for anyone (except the self serving dishonest folks).

Annie, I'm curious where in that post of honest Prolife to you read the claim that Repubs are brilliant & Dems are stupid. The dwarfs currently running for prez are all stupid in so many ways. President Bush is the genius of leadership. But I've seen noone claim that Repubs are brilliant & Dems are stupid. In general Repubs aren't stupid and rarely are dems not stupid. Now let's look at one of the stupidity factors used by vacant liberal minds to say someone is stupid. Dean: "I am tired of being divided by race in this country." (CNN "Rock The Vote" Democratic Debate Nov 5, 2003) Is that a deanism? He mis-spoke thus he is stupid. For that comment I would not judge dean stupid. I don't know what he meant but that's OK.. But if someone can compile dean vs dean, he is an idiot.... LOL Dean vs. Dean Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont, is a Democratic candidate for President. Here is how it might sound if Howard Dean chose to debate himself on the important issues of the day. (All of the statements below are actual quotes from Howard Dean) On War With Saddam Hussein's Iraq Dean: "Is the security of the United States affected by what's going on in Iraq today? … I don't believe it is." ("Meet the Press," March 9, 2003) Dean: "There's no question Saddam is a threat to the U.S. and our allies." ("Face the Nation" on Sept. 29, 2002) "I think Saddam must be disarmed." (Associated Press, Feb. 5, 2003) Dean: "Now we're stuck there, because there was no serious threat to the United States from Saddam Hussein…” (debate, Durham, N.H., Dec. 9, 2003) Dean: "I never said Saddam was a danger to the United States, ever." (Dec. 10 news conference in Concord, N.H.) Dean: "I'm not against attacking Saddam Hussein" (news conference, Sept. 19, 2002) Dean: "I opposed the Iraq war when everyone else up here was for it" (Debate, Jan 4) Dean: "It's conceivable we would have to act unilaterally [in Iraq]." (Des Moines Register) Dean: "Why do we have to do everything in a unilateral way? It's not good for the future of the foreign policy of this country…” ("Face the Nation," Sept. 29, 2002) Dean: "We clearly have to defend the United States, and if we must do so unilaterally, we will." ("Face the Nation," Sept. 29, 2002) Dean: "I disagree with unilateral war." (“PBS Newshour”) chronwatch.com

I will never vote for any liberal Democrat, nor will I ever vote for any pro-abortion Democrat.....does that leave anyone? If you want to call that bias, then I suppose I am guilty.

In Vermont, Dean was popular in the business community because he made deals with them that alienated the state's environmentalists. Now, on the campaign trail, Dean rails against business and quipped in one interview that it's time to "reregulate" U.S. industry. As governor, Dean governed like Clinton--only to pronounce, in a recent, high-profile policy speech, that it was time to get past the "damage control" of the Clinton years. But, however politically convenient in the Democratic primaries, those statements represent a logical updating of Clintonism rather than a rejection of it. For one thing, a primary rationale for Clintonism was to restore faith in government so future Democrats could put it to good use. As Clinton himself suggested in a November 2003 interview with The American Prospect's Michael Tomasky, "Democrats ought to all pocket some of the gains I made." More important, Dean's modest departures make perfect sense given what has happened in the last few years. After all, what sane person familiar with Enron and other corporate scandals wouldn't argue for increasing the regulation of business? tnr.com
