Gephardt | Gephardt Opens Fire
Finally, Democrats seem to be realizing that they're running against each other at the moment and not Bush. As I said before, they have to beat Dean before they can beat Bush. Gephardt has launched his first real attacks on the former Vermont Governor, charging Dean with a Gringrichian politics on medicare. This from the Des Moines Register:
"Howard Dean's beliefs about Medicare extend beyond merely disliking it. He's actually advocated cutting it and turning it into a wholly managed care program. And that's something I will never agree to," Gephardt told about 80 supporters at a noon-hour speech at the Teamsters Hall on Des Moines' east side. "Gov. Dean actually agreed with the Gingrich Republicans."
Gephardt was referring to news reports from 1993 and 1995 that quoted Dean calling Medicare, the federal health insurance plan for senior citizens, "one of the worst federal programs ever" and "a pathetic bureaucracy."

I’ve seen stop signs that have more charisma than this man. And let’s not forget: this man was elected and then proceeded to miss greater than 85% of the votes.
Lay it down, Dick.
You ever get the feeling these guys would be great to play poker with? Ten guys in the pot and he’s holdin on to a pair of fives.
Only one thing is certain: whatever any politician said in the past, it won’t hold now. Everything will be tailored for the moment.
Watching Gephardt and Dean go after each other with mauls is a sad spectacle. I only hope they can take each other out.
