"America wants to overhaul Social Security"

The Republicans miscalculated what Average Joe American believes.

Again.

1. They don't believe it is true NOW

but if they say it enough it will become true. Even now people I knew who were totally against Schiavo's parents are telling me that the courts were wrong. They've been brainwashed and the repubs are good at it.

You repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.

5. Only if you're stupid. n/t

[Placebo]

2. I think Dean is a detriment to our party...

and approaches, at times, what I'd call "crazy", and I didn't want to "save" Terri Schiavo, and don't want to overhaul SS via the Republican Party.

3. Cite a few examples of Dean's lunacy.

Really, I want to know what all the craziness is about.

8. I can answer that one

He never answers my emails to come visit my town, speak at my local DFA meeting and check out the local sites with me and my family. I did meet his brother a few weeks ago and had to express my admiration for Howard, but his brother could only blush as I went on and on about his brother to him, and next thing I knew, he was in a hurry to leave, saying something like, "Yeah, mom always loved Howard best." I tell ya. This is crazy!

10. I met him briefly during the Florida Dem Convention in Orlando.

I shook his hand and said, "Thanks for being here today, Governor."

And he replied, "No, thank you. You're the reason I'm here."

Yeah, put those words into any other politician's mouth. I dare ya.

4. Yes

whatever will we do without leading Democrats who simply roll over and let the Republicans do and say whatever they want without striking back?

It's no wonder the Neocons accuse Democrats of 'appeasement.' They see that behavior all the time. You can't play nice with people who see nice as a sign of weakness.

6. You don't know him, then. Not at all. n/t

9. LOL Hilarious!

7. "America does not want stem cell research".

The list goes on.

11. So did Edwards, Biden, Richardson. Pelosi and a growing list of Dems. nt
