The Stamford Advocate (CT) has picked up this AP story about the complications that arise from Dean's challenge ... some of the same we've been reading, but also some new insights.
Raising $7.5 million for his Internet-fueled campaign was the easy part. Now Democrat Howard Dean says he must urgently expand his presidential bid, broaden his message and soften the rough edges of his personality.
Yeah, now you wanna get a nice personality....as opposed to the jerk he's been all his life!!! jeez....
Dems are all F****ed up.... Oh yeah, and why did they think they had weapons grade uranium in a place like Niger.....George W said that to see if they would fall for it!! ha ha ha
Here is what the Democrats want you to believe:
1.) Bush lied.
2.) The lie was the central focus of the entire case for war.
3.) Bush knew the information was false, yet he is such a warmongerer that he went against EVERYONE and included the line anyway.
4.) The British are wrong (remember, they still contend that they have multiple sources for the same information).
5.) There have never been cases in the past where the CIA and the White House were not in sync (Go to google and type Sudan + Clinton + Aspirin).
6.) Because one of the sources for the uranium/Africa story may have been forged, Bush is a liar about everything.
7.) Bush is a Republican. All Republicans are liars.
8.) Democrats are not Republicans, therefore they are not liars. Vote Kerry (Or Dean, or Edwards or one of the nine dwarves).
And if any of you think that it isn't ALL about #8, you are a fool.
Dean is demanding that anyone who 'misled' the country immediately resign:
'I demand truth from my government in Washington.
it is now clear that some officials in this Administration misled the nation and misled the world. These people must be held accountable for their failure to give us the truth before we went to war.
But we should not have to wait for investigations to rid our government of those who misled the American people.
They know who they are, and they can resign on their own today. I demand the resignation of those who engaged in this deception."
I am not sure what he is looking for, since he makes no specific charge, accuses no one in particular, just that 'some officials' may have 'misled' (and note- you can mislead people without lying- well, by being wrong, or making a mistake). And by the way, that obscure New Englander is not Lyndon LaRouche. It is Howard Dean, once again tapping into the anger of the fringe.
Dean is going to win the Democrat nomination, and then lose 40+ states in the general election.
